Last month, Freedom Mobile confirmed it would be launching its LTE network in Victoria, British Columbia, in February 2019.
Ahead of next month’s launch, some Freedom Mobile customers are already reportedly seeing connections to the LTE network, which most likely is being tested before its debut.
According to iPhone in Canada reader Kris, on his iPhone under Network Selection settings, Freedom Mobile now shows up as an option in his list of carriers. He says a friend of his visiting from Vancouver—a Freedom Mobile customer—”was able to connect for most of the day in Langford.”
Freedom Mobile is also set to launch its LTE network in Red Deer, Alberta, next month. Other cities in Ontario are set to launch in March 2019.
Are you seeing Freedom Mobile LTE signals in Victoria right now?
