Freedom Mobile has set November 3, 2026, as the date it will shut down its 3G network across Quebec and the Ottawa-Gatineau region.
They better keep their grubby hands off my H+!!! At least until more direct-to-cell satellite options pop up.
It’s OK, if you lose it, you’ll roam on ROBeLUS in your area without paying extra. :D Just make sure your data roaming is activated in your phone settings. I do see the “R” now and then when I’m in bad coverage spot in the GTA.
Never heard of this before and I used to always have roaming on with my can-us plan. But my use case is a lil weird as I actually need the longer range. When H+ is all I’m getting that’s because I’m many KMs offshore with land just barely in sight after raising my phone half way up my mast. Excited for Bell’s direct to cell service so I’m not supporting Starlink through Rogers when I’m 100km from shore in between NB and the Magdalen islands.
Damn, interesting way to avoid leaving the French provinces.
I wonder what it’s like going from the Magdalen Islands to St Pierre et Miquelon.
Not 3G, my beloved technology.
☠️ GPRS gang 🪦
