TORONTO, July 23,
2024 /CNW/ - Over a quarter million more
Canadians can now subscribe to Freedom Mobile's affordable and
innovative wireless services as Canada's most competitive carrier is expanding
its service area to several regions across B.C. and Alberta. New additions to Freedom's
serviceable area include Chilliwack, Hope, Revelstoke and Salmon Arm, B.C., as well as Camrose, Wetaskiwin and Edson, Alberta, among many others.
This latest market expansion is made possible by partner
agreements enabled by the CRTC's MVNO* framework which also
recently allowed Freedom to launch its services in Manitoba. The full list of additional areas
can be found here and the updated coverage map here.
"Consumers from across Canada
have been demanding more competition in wireless for a very long
time," says Pierre Karl Péladeau, President and CEO of Quebecor,
the parent company of Freedom Mobile. "We're happy to continue to
bring Canadians the many benefits of having a strong fourth player
in the market".
Network upgrades across the board
Over the last few months, Freedom teams have been hard at work
making numerous improvements to the wireless network, from
expanding 5G areas to activating dozens of new cell sites across
Canada and deploying 3500 MHz
spectrum on several existing cell sites for additional speed and
lower latency.
Having recently fulfilled all the undertakings it had made to
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) at the
time of the Freedom Mobile acquisition, Quebecor is fully committed
to making sure all Freedom wireless customers enjoy the best
possible experience wherever they are.
