Monthly Repayment Option
MRO stands for Monthly Repayment Option and is a way to pay off your handset cost in interest free, monthly repayments over the length of the term of your plan.
For example:
Handset purchase price $720
On a 24 month plan ($720/ 24) = $30 monthly MRO for 24 months
If you sign up on a Freedom® Connect Plan with an MRO that has the same start and end date as your plan (eg both 24 months) you will be eligible to receive an MRO Bonus Credit each month to put towards reducing the monthly repayment costs for your handset. The MRO bonus amount varies based on your plan as shown in the table below.
MRO Bonus Credit by plan
| Plan name |
MRO bonus credit per month |
| $49 Freedom Connect Plan |
Up to $10 |
| $59 Freedom Connect Plan |
Up to $15 |
| $79 Freedom Connect Plan |
Up to $20 |
| $99 Freedom Connect Plan |
Up to $25 |
| $129 Freedom Connect Plan |
Up to $30 |
For example: If you bought a $720 handset on a $59 Freedom Connect Plan over 24 months, the amount that you would pay for your handset each month would be:
MRO: $720 / 24 months = $30 per month
minus
MRO bonus credit on the $59 Freedom Connect Plan = $15 per month
Total monthly handset repayment; $30 - $15 = $15 a month
Each month your minimum monthly cost would be $59 (for the plan) + $15 (for the phone) = $74 per month for 24 months.
You don't need to calculate what the monthly payment for any handset and plan combination as the monthly costs for any handset and plan combination is already calculated for you, taking into consideration your monthly MRO bonus credit, in the Online Shop.
Of course, if you cancel early, you must repay any remaining handset repayments in addition to the early termination charge for your service.
