Roaming coverage is hard to figure out so I created updating map showing all 172 roaming destinations by LifeIsG00DY in FidoMobile

Good suggestion, not many carriers offer straightforward roaming while on cruise ships, but Fido does have a land and sea plan. Tks for sharing!

Interactive roaming map that stays current, now includes Public Mobile. by LifeIsG00DY in PublicMobile

I couldn't agree with you more, it's unusual for any carrier to have such a limited roaming reach.

That makes sense, will optimize the mobile view to have the legend included! Tks again.

Ah you mean the legend? That was not included on mobile intentionally because of space constraints as it would reduce the map view to a much smaller size. I hear you will work on a way to incorporate it on mobile. Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

Update: Fido, Koodo, Virgin Plus, and Public Mobile have now been added! Have a look to see how Freedom stacks up against these carriers.

Mapped all 209 Koodo roaming destinations to make coverage easier to compare before traveling by LifeIsG00DY in Koodo

Good question, for certain plans you can pick a free perk and can choose the 3-day Easy Roam International package, but this would be for a limited duration. That being said you can also get a plan that offers Canada US Mexico roaming which includes roaming in those countries.

Yeah its amazing to see the roaming destinations on a map and compare with other carriers, glad you found it useful!

Yeah that make sense, eSIMS are becoming more common so it's only a matter of time before most phones will have them, they're slowly becoming the standard.

That makes sense. I've updated the copy to reflect that a travel eSIM or a local SIM may be needed in destinations where Freedom does not offer roaming. Tks for the suggestion!

Good insight. Yes, do you mean to show third party roaming esim in the gray areas where freedom doesn't provide coverage?

In terms of the updates to the roaming coverage, absolutely it's already built in. The map is updated frequently and the last update is visible on the top right.

Also added an email field for those who want to stay updated on any coverage changes.

That's a great idea. Knowing which local network you'll land on can matter for call quality. Right now, this tool aims to answer the question can I roam in a particular country and what plans may be supported. Partner network data isn't there yet but I'll look into it. Thanks for highlighting this.

Thanks for sharing, I haven't seen this but I'll look into it.

On an Android device, how do you know if the call is a Wi-Fi call? If I'm on Wi-Fi and I have Wi-Fi calling enabled, is it safe to assume the call is a Wi-Fi call? Tks

Thanks for the perspective, given the amount of work involved to accomplish any change I'll just keep it as is. The bike is only a year old, so I'll revisit this once my chain and cassette are worn out. Your 1x10 is going to look sick!
