Reduced Voice Coverage in Manitoba ?

[Sunlightnk]

Hi guys,

I am not sure where to ask my question, but this morning I (located in Winnipeg, MB) received a text message from PM which said that as of March 16 PM network will be changed in Manitoba and select areas of Winnipeg may experience reduced voice coverage. For more info recommended to call Telus @ 866-975-3058.

Does anybody from Manitoba received this today?

Any details on this?

Joined PM last month and not happy to receive such news.

Thanks.

The news is legitimate. On the Koodo Community forums, employees have posted and confirmed that network changes are coming to Mantioba.  They're encouraging customers to have VoLTE-capable devices or risk not having voice service. I can confirm that this will also affect Public Mobile customers, although details are still to come as to what will happen as Public Mobile doesn't offer VoLTE.

I got the same text today & suspect SPAM or Fraud because:

• it's not from the 611 number I usually get Public texts from.
• I didn't see anything on the Public Mobile site suggesting changes to coverage
