School me on the networks.
Currently with Rogers been with them for 4 years I don't currently have a contract, paying for 3 phones. Service is really bad in my area, I have a 8 minute drive home and there are at least 3 dead big spots were I'll lose calls and I can't use my cellphone anywhere in my house without wifi calling, basically service is just shit in my area.
I was with Telus years ago reception was always great no matter where I went.
Fido is on the Rogers network?
What services run on the Telus network besides Telus?

I switched from Rogers to Telus a couple of years ago and the reception has been much better since switching, at least for the areas I frequent.

If this is your current plan, which is not attached to a contract/lease, and want the Note10+, what would you do?

I decided to go with Public so I went into London Drugs to purchase the sim card, bring my number over from Freedom (effectively cancelling my plan), and purchase the plan.
I mentioned to the girl I wasn't sure if my LG G6 is locked to Freedom, but she didn't seem concerned. At the end, she puts the Public sim card into my phone only to find out it is indeed lockex to Freedom. She wasn't able to unlock it and suggested I call Freedom's customer service (not sure how she expected me to do that without service).
I decided I would drive over to the very Freedom store where I originally got the phone, and to do some other needed shopping. The store was unable to unlock it and told me to call customer service. I used their phone to make the call, gave my IMEI, and they said the phone was not in their system and asked if I was sure I got it from them. Eventually she gave up, escalated my call, gave me a reference #, and told me to try calling back within 10 days.
So I am without any service at all right now. The phone is locked to Freedom, with the Public sim card in the phone waiting to be used.
I don't know what to do at this point, other than drop $$$ on an unlocked phone, which I really don't want to.
Is Freedom not seeing the phone on their list because it was purchased on a 2 year contract (paid off and ended in May, prepaid plan in my name after that) by my ex gf and not in my name? Is it because the girl at London Drugs didn't check before transferring my # from Freedom? Or is Freedom just dragging their feet, dicking me around, so they don't have to unlock my phone?

Freedom has to have some kind of inventory system to know which phones are their's. Girl at LD has no way of knowing or access to Freedom to check unlock status. IF she did test the phone and it wasn't, she loses the sale. Phones sold in Canada after Dec 2017 are all unlocked. She may have just assumed.
Likely it's the latter, Freedom dicking you around.

Had a friend call Freedom using his account snd claiming my phone was his and they told him the same as me, that I it was escalated to their head office and will take 10 days before they can give the unlock code.
