“Kill Two Bird With One Stone.”

With my freshly unlocked iPhone 6s (previously locked to Telus) and a Freedom Mobile LTE sim card, I decided to put the network through its paces and at the same time, get some holiday shopping done.

First stop, West Edmonton Mall: then, off to Kingsway Garden Mall: finally, a quick detour at Southgate Mall. As I travelled across our fine city, I kept a watchful eye on the reception of my phone.

At some varying locations, my reception did dip to two or three bars, but for the majority of my travels, it stayed at a consistent four bars (full strength). I was surprised to find that, NOT ONCE DID I LOSE SIGNAL; NOT EVEN WALKING THROUGH THE CONGESTED MALLS.
