Starting July 24th

Nationwide data

All Freedom Mobile customers with monthly recurring data on their line will have their data bucket upgraded to include Freedom & Nationwide data that can be used across Canada, at no additional cost*!

5G

We’re excited to provide you with the latest technology at an affordable price. Freedom Mobile customers on $45+/mo. plans (after Digital Discount) will now have access to 5G at no additional cost**!

Seamless handoff

According to this:

As of July 24, Freedom Mobile is also implementing seamless handoff when moving between home and partner networks. Previously, when moving between networks, customer calls would sometimes drop, or data would be interrupted.

Thats a nice upgrade!

Good to know they're still upgrading. I was worried they'd become stagnant with the Shaw sale.

TBH, I'm not holding my breath for 5G since it'll be heavier on my battery than LTE and I have seen 500Mbps on LTE (not on Freedom), but otherwise I do share the sentiment. 🤭

Yeah same. I haven't really been waiting for 5g. I don't need that speed on my phone, especially if it drains the battery much more quickly. I suppose it might be good for other device types though.
