Which Carrier Has the Best Coverage in Alberta?
Bell, TELUS, Koodo Mobile, and Virgin Mobile have the best coverage in Alberta, with their networks blanketing nearly 70% of the province. Rogers and Fido’s networks are also excellent, covering almost 61% of Alberta’s area, while Freedom Mobile covers just .78% of the province.
What to Consider When Choosing a Phone Plan
In addition to coverage, there are many other things you’ll want to consider before choosing an Alberta cell phone plan. These factors include:
- The price of the plan
- Type of plan you want (prepaid, postpaid, shareable)
- Whether you want to BYOP or buy a new phone
- What device payment method works best for you
- How much talk, text, and data you or your family needs
In short, if you know you need a lot of data, you’ll probably want to check out TELUS, Bell, or Rogers, since they offer the highest data allowances. If you want an affordable plan with a decent amount of data, you’ll want to consider Virgin Mobile, Koodo, or Fido, and if you want to save even more money, go with a low-budget carrier or a mid-tier prepaid or BYOP plan.
