As I mentioned during this month's MUUG round table meeting:

I have recently switched 2 of my family's mobile cell phone lines to Fizz Mobile and I am loving them so far!

I had mentioned that Quebecor was delaying bringing their Freedom Mobile brand to Manitoba (in favour of launching their own Fizz Mobile brand here first), but it looks like I missed their official new Freedom launch! 

Quebecor has now officially launched their Freedom mobile brand (which they acquired from Shaw during the recent Rogers/Shaw merger) to Manitoba as of May 23, 2024!

"At launch Freedom is offering customers in Manitoba a deep discount on its 10GB Canada-U.S. mobile plan which is available for $14.50 per month ($29 reg.) for six months."

 You can view the Freedom plans for Manitoba here:

I still think their Fizz Mobile brand offers greater flexibility with:
 - data rollover,
 - data gifting,
 - generous perks (like free unlimited data days and additional free data every month),
 - the ability to change your plan every month to fit exactly what you need,
 - and it has slightly lower overall prices for <= 10 GB data plans.

But you can't go wrong with either company compared to what the big 3 (Bell, Rogers, and Telus) are charging us here in Manitoba.

If you do decide that you want to try Fizz Mobile, don't forget to use my referral code "16KPK" to get a $25 credit (for both you and me!) during your second month of membership.

If anyone has any questions about my experience with Fizz, just ask away. 

It worked flawlessly in the US during my recent trip to Huntsville, Alabama and I haven't had any issues with it in the Winnipeg area so far.
