About: The Freedom Network

Overview

Our services and rate plans are designed for you to use predominantly on the Freedom network.

Our new nationwide plans have you covered with data, talk and text that you can use in Canada.

Freedom

Our Freedom network provides access to all the data, talk, text, and features included within the Freedom allotment of your plan. Usage of features not included in your plan, such as international calling, may be charged on a pay-per-use basis, or be unavailable.

When you are connected to the Freedom network your device will display ‘Freedom’ and you may have access to 5G, LTE, or Extended Range LTE networks depending on your location, device compatibility and plan. There may be some areas within the Freedom coverage where your phone will display Nationwide. While this usage will count as Nationwide, it will not be counted against the Freedom usage requirement as outlined in Section 4. Roaming Services of the Fair Usage Policy.

Learn more about the Fair Usage Policy.

To ensure you have the best experience we recommend:

  • Using our device compatibility tool to confirm your device supports VoLTE and VoLTE Roaming on the Freedom and Nationwide networks.

  • Your device is updated to the latest software. Check out our device guides, for detailed steps on how to check for and install system updates.

Your phone will display ‘Nationwide’ as the network name when in this area. Nationwide network usage is included in most plans; in other cases, usage of features in the Nationwide network is charged on a pay-per-use basis. Location-based calling services (such as 8-1-1, 2-1-1, 3-1-1 and #taxi), may not be available when connected to Nationwide.

Please check your plan details in MyAccount  to see the coverage you have within the Nationwide area.
