Freedom Mobile last week announced customers on all of its plans have been enabled for access to its 5G+ network at no additional cost, provided they have a compatible device, SIM card, and are within a Freedom Mobile 5G+ coverage area.
Freedom also announced it is expanding its 5G and 5G+ network footprint across Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, bringing improved connectivity to more than 500,000 additional Canadians. Freedom’s recent network expansion efforts have introduced new 5G and 5G+ coverage in several communities, including: Barrie, Kingston, Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Waterloo and Welland in Ontario; Airdrie, Beaumont and Fort Saskatchewan in Alberta; and Coquitlam, Delta, Langley, North Vancouver and Port Moody in British Columbia.
Additional network upgrades have increased coverage and capacity across key markets in the Greater Toronto Area, southwestern Ontario, Calgary and B.C.’s Lower Mainland, Freedom said in a July 24 press release.
While all Freedom Mobile plans are being enabled for 5G+ access, approximately 400,000 customers will receive notifications they can immediately access Freedom’s 5G+ network with a compatible device and SIM card, Freedom said.
“Canadians expect more from their wireless provider: strong network performance, reliable connectivity and exceptional value,” Pierre Karl Péladeau, president and CEO of Freedom parent company Quebecor, said in the press release. “By enabling 5G+ access across all Freedom Mobile plans at no additional cost and continuing to expand our network footprint, we’re delivering the latest wireless technology to more Canadians than ever before. These improvements reflect our long-term commitment to increasing competition and giving Canadians a better wireless choice.”
