Freedom Mobile launches services in Chatham-Kent via MVNO agreements


Freedom Mobile announced Tuesday the expansion of its wireless subscription area in Chatham-Kent, Ontario, which it said is made possible by partner agreements enabled by the CRTC’s mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) framework.

Additions to Freedom’s serviceable area include Chatham, Ridgetown, Wallaceburg, Blenheim, Dresden, Thamesville and Bothwell, among others, Freedom said in a press release.

“We are delighted to bring Freedom’s worry-free wireless solutions to Chatham-Kent residents. They can now enjoy our competitive plans, including our innovative Roam Beyond offering, while accessing Freedom’s fast and reliable wireless network,” Pierre Karl Péladeau, president and CEO of Quebecor, the parent company of Freedom Mobile, said in the press release. “This expansion further reinforces our steadfast dedication to promoting competition that serves all Canadians.”

With the introduction of its wireless services, Freedom is able to provide Chatham-Kent residents with a suite of telecom solutions, including Freedom Home Internet and Freedom TV services, the Toronto-based service provider said.
