As of October 2024, there are over 37.2 million wireless subscriptions in Canada.^[1] Approximately 90% of Canadian mobile phone users subscribe to one of the four largest nationaltelecommunication companies (Rogers Wireless,Telus Mobility,Bell Mobility andFreedom Mobile) or one of theirsubsidiary brands. These fourmobile network operators own and operate transmission facilities that cover most of the country, though they sometimes share each other's networks in certain geographical regions in order to reduce costs and reach more customers.

The remaining 10% of subscribers are served by smaller, regional providers,mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), and resellers.^[2] Regional providers own and operate transmission facilities that cover a limited area and rely on partnerships with national service providers to connect their customers across Canada. In contrast, MVNOs and resellers do not own spectrum or network infrastructure and are required to lease network capacity from other providers at wholesale rates. While MVNOs have their own facilities to package and support their mobile services, resellers rely on the host network provider to package, market, bill, and deliver mobile services.^[3]

All wireless service providers in Canada are regulated by theCanadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), which has been blamed by some for the concentration of wireless service subscribers to only three large national carriers. Though measures have been taken to encourage more competition, critics suggest that more should be done to address the issue, e.g. by mandating wholesale network access for MVNOs.^[4][5]

This is a list ofmobile network operators, which includes national and regional service providers. Where applicable, this list will also include any subsidiary "extension" brands associated with a mobile service provider. While primary brands, such as Rogers Wireless or Bell Mobility, account for roughly 82% of wireless revenue, extension brands allow wireless service providers to differentiate service offerings and reach broader market segments.^[6]

Some operators listed below may still function as a separate brand but they no longer own any infrastructure (towers, network, etc.).

The adoption ofeSIM (embedded SIM) technology has increased among Canadian mobile network operators, enabling users to activate cellular service without the need for a physical SIM card. Major carriers, includingBell Mobility,Rogers, andTelus, have integrated eSIM support into their postpaid and select prepaid plans, facilitating greater flexibility for consumers.
