Mobility outside Quebec

Is Videotron and Freedom mobile the same experience outside Quebec as they are the same company? Do both services roam when outside a Videotron or Freedom service area? Any experience using the service in provinces where there are no Freedom or Videotron towers?

    Hello timber77!
    While it is true that Vidéotron and Freedom mobile are both Québécor Ltd companies, the two are separate entities.
    Both companies' services roam outside of our networks. We have partnerships with other providers, so that your experience can be as smooth as possible in all our provinces.
    You can view Vidéotron's network coverage here : https://www.videotron.com/en/mobile/mobile-network-coverage
    We strive to offer the best service possible.
    Feel free to contact us in private if you want more details about our services and offers in your area : https://www.videotron.com/en/contact-us
    Have a great day!

  • Although Québecor owns both brands, Videotron and Freedom Mobile do not offer an identical experience outside Québec due to differing plan inclusions, core networks, and billing systems. However, both services seamlessly roam on partner Big Three networks (Rogers, Bell, and Telus) at no extra charge whenever you leave their home footprint, provided your plan includes nationwide coverage. In provinces without native Videotron or Freedom towers, the service relies entirely on domestic roaming partners; users report overall solid connectivity, though minor data speed throttling or latency spikes can occasionally occur depending on the local partner operator.
