Freedom Mobile expands to Manitoba


Quebecor’s Freedom Mobile announced Thursday it is expanding into Manitoba with the opening of several retail locations in Winnipeg.

“Expansion into Manitoba marks a pivotal milestone for Freedom and very good news for Manitoban customers as we will be able to provide them with innovative and affordable telecommunications solutions,” Pierre Karl Péladeau, president and CEO of parent company Quebecor, said in a press release. “As a strong and competitive telecom player in Canada, we’re proud to reaffirm our commitment to providing more Canadians with the freedom of choice and benefits that come with increased competition.”

At launch, Freedom is offering customers in Manitoba a discount on its 10 GB Canada-U.S. mobile plan, which is available for $14.50 per month ($29 regular price) for six months.

“With offerings like Roam Beyond, a game-changing mobile plan that works in 81 destinations (and counting) around the world, true affordable Canada-U.S. plans and a rock-solid Price Freeze Promise, Freedom aims to disrupt the status quo of wireless in Manitoba, providing meaningful choices and cost savings to customers,” the press release said.

Freedom Mobile already has retail locations in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia.
