CALGARY - The owner of Freedom Mobile has disclosed details of a new wireless service called Shaw Mobile, which will be in Alberta and British Columbia.

It will offer three levels of service plan, currently at an introductory price discount, all with access to more than 450,000 Shaw Go WiFi hotspots.

Shaw Mobile's posted prices range between $15 and $95 per month, with a one-time connection fee, but are currently subject to promotional discounts.
