#2It's clear I don't know how to handle this. I'm hoping someone here can pass it along to the correct people and have them actually listen.

Hell, I've got better security for my email then I can get from Canadian Banks! I'm not surprised that Freedom Mobile is so lax.
I've been a customer since they were originally called "Wind" (at the time it was the only company that my N900 would work with). The only thing that they had going for them over the competition was good prices. That's barely accurate anymore. I hate all Canadian telecommunications companies.

#4Once again the great nation of Canada and Canadian businesses show their absurd levels of mediocrity. Every single business is like this. Filled with low quality, nepotism, low ambition, zero competition and zero hope for the future.

Canadian telecoms have to be one of the most oligopolous (is that a word?) set of companies in the country.
Telus, Bell, Rogers all 'competing' with each other, each of them owning several 'budget/flank' brands so they can capture even more of the individual market segments.
It reminds me of tool manufacturers like Black and Decker creating (absorbing/buying out) once reputable brands that capture individual market segments (Dewalt, Craftsman, Stanley, etc.) - now it's been optimized down to cost, market capture, and quality/performance of tools.
Back to cell phones - I understand there's only so much spectrum to go around which limits what companies can afford to license/purchase from the government, along with how much throughput you can throw from those frequencies - but still!
I don't understand why Canadians pay so much for basic features in $/GB for example - they have some of the highest cost cellphone plans in the world!

At this point why not switch to a US one?

Seems every thread about telecom ends up with a rant about Canadian providers. Why is the country so backward? They had Nortel and Blackberry not long ago.

If you are competitive, ambitious, and meritocratic you're supposed to move to the USA and leave the rest of us alone to be mediocre in peace. Brain drain is the Canadian way.

#8Login requires 2FA, though. Can that be bypassed?

It's a five-digit pin you can guess at infinitely.
