Stop paying the "Rural Tax." Reliable coverage, massive data, and real local support.
Ev-Com is an independent Canadian mobile carrier. We own our spectrum licence, run our own core, and are building our own towers in the Northwest. That's how we can offer fairer prices, but it also means coverage starts small and grows tower by tower.
Aggressive pricing for early adopters.
The perfect plan for everyday use.
For business and frequent flyers.
Camp workers & rural gamers.
Straight answers, because misinformation isn't fair to you.
No. Ev-Com is an independent Canadian mobile carrier registered with the CRTC. We hold our own spectrum licence, we run our own mobile core, and the towers our customers connect to are ours. When you are on our home network (Terrace, Kitimat), your calls and data run entirely on our infrastructure. National roaming coverage through partner carrier agreements is currently being finalized and will be available at launch. See our Terms of Service for details.
Kitimat goes live first, in the coming weeks. Our first tower is up and we are doing the on-site commissioning visit shortly. Terrace follows once the second tower is commissioned. Prince Rupert and the Terrace–Kitimat highway corridor are next on the build plan.
Signup opens on the day Kitimat goes live. Reserve a spot now and we will text and email you the moment we open up — Founders Plan reservations get first pick of numbers and a lifetime price lock.
Maybe, depending on how often you're in PR. Our home network covers Terrace and Kitimat fully. Prince Rupert is not yet on our own coverage, so phones used there will roam onto a partner carrier. Roaming has its own per-minute, per-MB, and per-SMS rates on top of your plan.
If you spend most of the week in Kitimat/Terrace and only pass through PR occasionally, our plans will work well for you. If PR is where you are every shift, we recommend waiting until we commission a tower there, or talking to us first about our commuter add-on — a pre-purchased roaming bucket priced for predictable weekly routes.
On the waitlist form, pick "LNG / outside Terrace-Kitimat" or "Prince Rupert" as your usage region and we'll follow up personally before activating your line.
If your work site is inside Kitimat or Terrace, you'll be on our home network the whole shift. Outside that, you'll be on roaming. The further your camp is from Terrace/Kitimat, the more roaming you accumulate.
Shift workers who fly in-and-out of YXT/YXS and spend their off-days out of province are usually better served by a bigger carrier plus an Ev-Com line for home-time calls. We'd rather point you to the right fit than sell you a plan that disappoints you.
Emergency calls are supported everywhere your phone has signal, including on roaming networks. 9-1-1 works even if your line is paused, suspended, or out of plan allowance, as required by CRTC rules. Your location is reported to the PSAP via your device's GPS and the cell site you're connected to.
Yes. We support porting in from any Canadian mobile carrier, including the major national networks and every flanker/regional brand. The port is free and typically completes in 1–4 hours once service is live. Keep your existing plan active until the port completes — don't cancel first.
We'll have a porting form available on activation day. In the meantime, gather your current carrier's account number, transfer PIN, and the exact name on the account.
Not at launch — Android phones only for now.
Apple maintains a closed list of approved carriers for VoLTE and IMS services on iPhone. New independent carriers like us have to be added to that list before iPhones will register and place calls properly on our network. We have started the application process, but Apple's timeline is theirs, not ours.
Until then, plan to bring an unlocked Android phone (Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, Motorola, etc.). Reserving your spot today is still the right call — your Founders rate locks regardless of which device you eventually use, and we will email you as soon as iOS support is available.
Honest answer: we can't promise a date. Tower installs depend on municipal permits, spectrum coordination, and backhaul availability. Our priority build order is: Kitimat first (going live in the coming weeks), then Terrace, then the highway corridor between them, then Prince Rupert, then the Nass Valley. We announce each site on our Facebook page the day it goes live.
If you want us to build in your area, the single most helpful thing you can do is join the waitlist from your location — we use waitlist density to prioritize where to invest next.
We live here. We hire here. Your bill money stays in Terrace, not Toronto.
We own the towers. That means we control the price and the quality.
Real humans. No robots.
