I just got my Mini and want to test out the functions before my two week long trip. Can I active and pay 65 dollars for the freedom plan. Test for a week then suspend 8 weeks, then activate and have 3 weeks left on the plan?

No. When you activate a freedom plan, you always do so for a month at a time. You can suspend it before the month is up (in fact, you need to in order to avoid being charged for another month at the end of the current month). The suspension does not actually take place until the month is up. Net result is that you "spend" a full month every time you activate it.
