Freedom Mobile has changed its plans in Manitoba to further resemble those in its other three markets: Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario.
The move comes roughly a year after parent company Quebecor announced it had purchased wireless spectrum in Manitoba to lay the groundwork for its own network.
Update Oct. 23, 2026, at 4:27 p.m. ET: Freedom confirmed to MobileSyrup in an email that it is “gearing up to switch on its wireless network in Manitoba” and would have more to share in the “near future.” It also confirmed the recent plan changes were part of that switch.
Previously, it used other carriers’ networks in Manitoba and essentially operated as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). That meant paying set rates to use other networks. In 2024, Freedom blamed those rates for its decision to “suspend the launch of data-rich plans in Manitoba.”
Anywho, here is the current state of Freedom’s plans in Manitoba:
- $35/35GB Canada/US/Mexico + 1GB Roam Beyond data
- New: $40/125GB Canada/US/Mexico + 5GB Roam Beyond data
- New: $45/175GB Canada/US/Mexico + 10GB Roam Beyond data
- New: $55/250GB Canada/US/Mexico + 10GB Roam Beyond data
- New: $65/250GB Canada/US/Mexico + 20GB Roam Beyond data
- $75/250GB Canada/US/Mexico + 30GB Roam Beyond data
- $85/250GB Canada/US/Mexico + 40GB Roam Beyond data
- $95/250GB Canada/US/Mexico + 50GB Roam Beyond data
I should also mention that each plan comes with unlimited talk/text in Canada and 120+ destinations. All of the plans also include a Digital Discount, a $5/mo ongoing credit for automatic payments.
Now, this new plan structure is much more in line with what Freedom is offering elsewhere. There are a few differences compared to Ontario: notably, the $40/70GB plan is not there.
Interestingly, 5G+ is still missing in the province; instead, customers get 4G LTE data. To add a bit more salt in the wound, Freedom offers 5G and 5G+ data in its other two markets.
This also does see the end of the 60GB option that Freedom used to top out at in Manitoba.
