I made a bad decision when I switched to BELL. Had wifi issues for weeks, very poor unstable connection, causing a lot of problems for work. Once fixed and sort of stable, data on all our devices is very weak to the extent it doesn't even support Google maps, almost 8 minutes to show directions. Let alone customer service who have been transferring me from one to the other to start my story over and over and they just recite same answer by reading my contract and no solution for over a week now. I am working online and chose BELL assuming it's reliable and I regret. The cost of losing days of work and handling complaints is higher than my financial tolerance.

I would like to express my deep dissatisfaction with the technical support I recently received. After following the troubleshooting steps provided by your virtual tool, I had to contact your technical support service multiple times, as the issue persisted. In total, I spoke with too many different representatives over a period of three days. Each time, I was assured that the problem would be resolved.
During these calls, I was asked to replace the receiver, the modem, and a cable. Despite these efforts, the problem remains unresolved. My last interaction with one of your technicians was particularly frustrating. He introduced himself as a “senior” technician, speaking in a condescending tone, and assured me that a procedure he performed would resolve the issue within 48 hours. However, more than 48 hours later, the problem was still not fixed. I find it unacceptable to have invested so much time and effort without any concrete solution being provided. This experience has greatly undermined my trust in your services. For these reasons, I have decided to terminate my service and move to another provider

Please be informed about my case with Bell CA contract: I request that this official complaint be immediately escalated to a responsible authority, as for the past two months I have been unsuccessfully trying to restore my account to its original state. Unfortunately, your call center has not provided the necessary support to resolve this issue. With this letter, I express my strong dissatisfaction and protest regarding the unacceptable treatment I have received from your company, and I demand the immediate rectification of the damage I have suffered. • On July 6, I noticed an unauthorized change to my plan, carried out without my consent, which resulted in an increase in the monthly charge. I neither signed nor approved any such modification. • Upon contacting your call center, I was informed that this might be a fraud incident.
Instead of resolving the matter, however, my phone lines were blocked, and my communication with your company became extremely difficult. • From July 6 to August 18, I repeatedly contacted your representatives. Each time, I was assured that: 1. The overcharge of $925 would not be applied to my account. 2. My plan would be restored to its original terms. • Despite these assurances, on August 18 your company proceeded with charging the $925, while my plan remains altered. Throughout these two months, despite my numerous calls, no responsible person has ever contacted me, contrary to the repeated promises that this would happen within 48 hours. Instead, I wasted countless hours explaining the issue again and again to different representatives, without any resolution.
Based on the above, I hereby demand: 1. The immediate refund of the $925, which was charged to me illegally and abusively and most importantly without pre authorized permission. 2. The restoration of my plan to its original terms, as they stood before July 6. 3. A written and official response from a senior company representative, providing a clear timeline and corrective actions. Should immediate compliance not occur, I reserve the right to escalate this matter to the Consumer Commission and to pursue legal action for the full restitution of both the financial and moral damages I have incurred. It has already been two months without any meaningful response from your side.
This behavior is unprofessional and offensive towards a customer who has consistently fulfilled their financial obligations. My case number that your company gave me at 6th July is ** and then at16th August is ** but none of them has all the informations written by your representatives and every time I had to repeat myself without any solution.

I've been with Bell since 2000 and my family many more years previous. This fact means nothing to Bell when it comes to doing right for loyal customers. When competitors are able to provide more for less, they refuse to match pricing and just offer excuses...wanting to even add more services in order to provide "bundled" pricing to remain competitive. My misguided notion of Bell treating loyal customers fairly cost me thousands of dollars over time and I finally came to my senses and switched over my home internet service to another provider as soon as their comparable service became available in my area. Do yourself a favour, save money, and don't wait to switch! Loyalty means nothing to this sycophantic company!

If you have a problem with your Bell service, and are fortunate enough to connect with someone you can understand, don't expect good service. I've been waiting for so-called customer to send me a remote for 4 days! I explained that we have been unable to access our Fibe and that if it wasn't resolved, I'd cancel service. REPLY? "IT'S UP TO YOU!" TERRIBLE SERVICE! I'm switching!

My elderly mother is without internet and telephone now for 3 days going soon into the 4th day. This a very serious outage as it is a safety concern should she need to call emergency. What if an intruder should come? How does she call for help? Unacceptable “service”. Customers need to be notified by the company. Reimbursement as well would help. But this is a ridiculously long time without the telephone. Bell service on Ridgemount Rd in Etobicoke Ontario has recently been unreliable. Unbelievable!

I run a large campground Ontario and the Bell emergency phone line at the pool was not working which caused our pool to be closed. The technician they sent left early without fixing it because he said he had prior arrangements. His manager promised to send out another first thing in the morning. No one came, I contacted bell but was told that no one would come for another week. The technician and manager lied to us. The pool has to remain closed until they send someone to fix it. This is not only disrupting our business but our campers can not use the pool. Trying to speak with anyone at bell that will help is difficult to begin with, but this is beyond unprofessional.

Bell offered me one set of terms but later increased my bill without my knowledge, claiming they could not contact me. They now say they will give me the same price only if I agree to a new 24-month contract. This appears to be a tactic to lock me in so that I cannot take advantage of a better Black Friday deal. I find this to be poor service and unethical business conduct, and I will not be using Bell again.

I am livid. This company is the most dishonest ever. I went to the states, got a plan and asked what settings to put my phone on. I paid for the plan AND got charged an extra $40 anyways on top of that!!! Long story short, I called, they apologized and took $21 off!! I am truly livid and am going to look for another phone company! They completely stink and are horribly dishonest. I don’t recommend them at all!!!!

The worst company ever. I should have stayed at Rogers and paid an additional $100 a month. The agents have NO training. I called to switch from Rogers to Bell (Mobile Phone Service) and had no service on my phone that day, I had to go into a Bell store the next day to get service which took the rep less than 30 seconds to set up. If the agent on the phone would have advised me the steps, I could have did it myself. Wondering how I was able to call them to tell me to go to Bell to get service, when I had no service on my phone? I had to FaceTime my sister to have my mother call them and take up 2 hours of my time. The agent said they would waive the $75 service fee and when I called to get it removed from my bill they said “the system won’t let me so you have to pay the fee”. Not worth the headache at all. Waste of time, money and left with constant headaches.

I recently had a very pleasant young man visit my house to market Bell for fiber optics internet, basic cable and cell phones. The price in total was $100 per month less than my current suppliers so I went ahead on a 2 year deal. It also included a $150 visa credit. I'm not hard up for money but my current providers internet was slower than promised and a few of my neighbors were very happy with Bell services but definately not their fees!!!.
Bell showed up, cut my current providers fiber cable without permission and installed their modem. The strength was the same until I plugged into my router then it improved, so far so good. Next he set up the wifi box on our main TV but could not get the app to work so he gave up and left. I worked on getting the app for a week and could not find it anywhere even with Bells help plus the little box started to malfunction. My original contact turned put to be a marketing company wearing a Bell shirt. When I got a hold of him he said he'd send a technician and figure out the app for the other TV's. No show and no help until I got to the retention department...too late!
My phones are for business and I didn't even take a chance on that given the mess I had with the TV's. After canceling 16 days later ai got a bill for over $675.00 for my troubles plus a cut fiber cable. The bill was reduced to $282.00 dollars that I was forced to pay or have Bell chase me for the rest of my life. I swore off Bell 30 plus years ago and they screwed me again, I'm so stupid!!! My current internet/TV provider waived the $250 for reconnection and help improve my service, thanks Exculink and thanks for the lesson Bell! Once again you have proven the money is more important than the service. In 30 years nothing has changed, well done for sticking to your principles!

I had Bell internet installed in my home, which never worked from the onset. No devices picked up the signal. I had the service cancelled and equipment returned within a week. It is now 4 months later and I am still calling them on a nearly weekly basis to have the significant balance they charged me, removed. Each time I call, the agent tells me the issue is resolved and the balance is at zero, however I continue receiving invoices and mail indicating an outstanding balance remains. The worst customer service ever - super unprofessional and clearly incompetent. I have now called over 25 times (no exaggeration) for the same issue, and still - not resolved. Pray for me.

If you have gotten a promotion from Bell within the last year, remember to check your bill because my bill has gone up $18 with a promotion that started at $121 has immaculately changed to $146 within only last few months. I was shocked to hear between May and July that there was a $6 charge every month of year 2025. When I called in, I wasn’t able to access my login to be Canada. I wasn’t able to use my original username or my password and they also changed my four-digit number. When I called I spoke with a man named David. His badge number is **. I told him I had a learning disability and I needed extra help. He then asked me what my disability was and insisted that I needed papers to continue. Unfortunately, I don’t need to tell anybody my disability and I think it’s completely ignorant and rude about Canada’s employees to ask these questions.
I was finally transferred to another document that couldn’t answer why there was an $18 increase, how I wasn’t notified with a paper in the mail or even access to my online account. He had no answers. I never found out why there was an $18 increase without my knowledge, but I will keep an eye on my bills and find out how much more my promotional that was advertised for $121 has now changed to a whopping $146 without my knowledge. Please check your bills, especially if they can is going into your account. God knows how much they actually take It. Beware Bell Canada has disability discrimination and every three months you have to change your login password. Otherwise you’re denied your bills. Contact your BBB to have this investigated immediately.

I've been a Bell Canada customer, but I'm really disappointed to see my monthly bill increase from $45 to $64 without any clear explanation. That’s nearly a 40% hike, and I haven’t made any changes to my plan. It feels unfair and frustrating, especially during a time when people are already dealing with rising costs. I expected more transparency and consistency from a major provider like Bell. Not happy at all with this experience and seriously considering other options.

If I could I would do 0 stars. I am a single work from home mother providing for my 2 children. Last week my internet stopped working. I tried multiple things until I decided to reach out to bell. I was rudely told to just change my box thingy and got hung up at. I went to my local Bell store and I was told they could not do anything about it. I then drove 1 HOUR to the other centre and got new internet. Yet again, it was not working. I called bell and they told me it was an issue in my neighborhood and it would be fixed by 10:30-11 pm.
After that I relaxed and called my friend who by the way, lives beside me using data. She said her internet was working fine and she was using bell. I was furious. What made the whole situation even worse was that the internet was not even working at the time they told me it would. I was deeply disappointed and called bell again the next day. They told me the same thing for two more days until finally I gave up. It was a blessing in disguise that some Cogeco people came and helped me. But they were too expensive so I decided to wait a bit more for bell. Well, WORST DECISION OF MY LIFE!!! I had a big project due the next day and with my data almost out (because I had to use it most for my autistic son's iPad) my boss threatened to fire me because I was not done the project. I am still without internet and bell does not care. PLEASE DO NOT USE THEM. I AM GONNA SOON SHIFT TO COGECO EVEN THOUGH IT'S A BIT EXPENSIVE.

It bothers me to give ANY stars to this terrible organization! Their Customer Service should be called "Disservice"!

I incidentally discovered this fraud and spent many hours trying to recover my money! I was treated with so much disrespect and regret ever doing any business with this terrible company. I also realized that they are ridiculously expensive and will cancel all dealings with them! I spend lots of money on this awful business over the past 8 years and it's time to boycott them and stop the misery! Bell, you no longer hold monopoly on us and we have other options!

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM BELL. It is the worst company ever. I would give zero stars if I could. How can you keep on sending an invoice for 6 months (important to mention that the invoice was $3000) over and over again when I went to the store the next day after I bought them, and because I was not satisfied with the phones, I returned them (2 phones)? I have the proof ( returning contract ) with my signature and the seller's signature, the one who got back the phones. Even though I spent 6 full months making phone calls, sending in proof of returning the phones, the bill kept coming and adding interest. Bell kept telling me I had service from them when I had nothing, and I also had proof of this.
Now, a year later, I decided to give it another try, having learned from my experience with Bell last year, I shared the story with them, and they assured me that there's a 15-day buyer's remorse or trial period. This time I was looking to buy a e-sim from bell to see if I have signal where I need. The next day I checked and because I checked and saw that there was no signal in the place I needed, I called to cancel. I was told (even though initially after 1.5 hours on the phone to activate this e sim I was told that it is ok, he understands that I had problems before but he promices that there is this trial period of 15 days and nothing bad will happen this time, I will not have to worry, I will have to pay anything if I close the service in 15 days and I close it in 1 single day).... that there is nothing like that, a trial period.
However, short story - the next day AGAIN, as it happened to me 1 year before, I got a bill for $150. I had to stay another 1 hour on the phone to kindly ask to send me a zero balance invoice, as it was supposed to be. Also, 2 years ago I got internet from bell. They say it is 1.5 gb. NOT AT ALL. The speed is not as they promise whatsoever. It was about 200Mbps not 1.5 GB. And the installer told me - your computer is broken. How can you come into my house and offend me? For your knowledge, I am a human resources specialist, and my husband is an engineer; we have great computers. Not to mention that all these times they have done a hard credit score check. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM BELL

Bell is wildly more expensive compared to competitors for the same service. They charge $50 more a month for home internet compared to Rogers in my neighborhood.

I am writing to express my concern and disappointment regarding the service I received from Virgin. I had initially signed up for a plan through one of your agents, which was intended to cover both myself and my husband. However, I have experienced ongoing issues with incorrect charges being withdrawn from my bank account. While my first complaint was addressed and the billing was corrected, the overcharges resumed shortly thereafter. Despite having all the agreement documents that clearly outline the terms of the plan, your team has failed to honour those terms. I was informed that it may have been a consultant's mistake when setting up the plan, but I am now being held responsible for the charges and asked to pay the bill in full. This situation is both unfair and unprofessional.

Bell gouges the Canadian customer while providing the worst service. Coverage in Canada has gotten even worse than better with the 5G switch as the range is shortened with 5G. However they still charge exorbitant prices for their service. It is a shame that they have the politicians in their pockets and joined at the hip with Telus. They have a monopoly on the Canadian market and can do what they like with no consequences. Until this government opens the doors to more competition we will continue to pay the highest prices for the worst service and coverage.

I've been a loyal customer of Bell Canada for over 26 years, phone, satellite tv and internet. The beginning of June our internet went out. After talking to technical support for quite some time it was determined there was an issue with our modem. We had to drive to the bell store or we wouldn't have any services for up to 5 days. Get the new modem, all is good. This past weekend went out again.
After spending an hour on the phone it was determined we needed a technician to come out. He came the following day, said there was something wrong with connection outside. He said he'd make a service ticket but got our internet up and running. Sunday night out again after a hard reset back on. Monday out again. Called back, made a service call for July 2. Internet came back on. Internet out again July 1. My app for the 2 between 8-12 around 1030 still no call. I contacted bell, I was told app was cancelled, had no idea why. Could not give me a time, possibly someone would show up in afternoon. I said that wasn't acceptable had been waiting all morning. He said nothing he could do. I'm done. No care that he had just lost a customer. Will never return to bell. Just ordered MNSI.

Bell has, without question, delivered the worst customer service experience I’ve ever encountered. Their approach is rooted in intimidation — they threaten to suspend your mobile or internet service the moment you start asking valid questions about charges or your account. Instead of offering transparency or real support, they deflect, dodge questions, and treat the customer like a nuisance.
It’s a toxic mix of arrogance and incompetence. They pressure you into agreeing to things you don’t fully understand, refuse to provide clear documentation, and escalate conversations the moment you push back. It’s not just bad service — it’s manipulative, aggressive, and utterly unprofessional. Bell doesn’t value loyalty, doesn’t prioritize customer care, and clearly doesn’t believe in accountability. I’ll never recommend them to anyone. Avoid at all costs.

I am very disappointed with Bell. I have been with them for over 20 years and have seen my bills creep up to a level that is unreasonable. I recently cancelled my subscription. They now have requested that I return some of the equipment that is mine but was replaced due to obsolescence or on a service package. Shame on bell.

I recently went back to Bell after being with Rogers for some good years. When the sales person came to my door I had 2 specific request 1- to take down the Bell satellite dish that was put on my walls some 10 years ago when I was with Bell. He said to talk to the tech who will come to my house to install the new equipment. When The tech came to my house he said he is not taking the dish down and it is not his job. 2- to keep my existing phone number. After 8 days I realized the phone number that was given to me was not the same I had before switching to Bell. When I called them I realized no request was done on behalf on the salesperson to keep my old number. That lady who gave me this piece of info said somebody would call me to confirm that with me.
Somebody from tech department called me to just let me know that they cannot give me my old phone number. I asked them why I was not informed with an email of the matter? They had no answer just kept apologizing to me which serves me nothing. I had given this phone number to recruiters for job searching. I spent 90 minutes on the phone and went up as far as my case manager Ann (only god knows if she is really a case manager) to be told that they send nobody to take the dish down and they can not give me my old number.

The 2nd time in 2 years that I've booked a technician repair, been provided a 5 hour window, then had them cancel the appointment. This time it was to repair a poorly installed line. I asked the first technician to install it properly and he ignored me. Now a year later and they have to come out again. I drove 2 hrs and took the day off work to have them cancel my appointment at the end of my appointment window without even a courtesy call. I would never ever recommend Bell.

It is the worst company I have ever seen. The staff are rude and treat you like a boss and from a higher position and even allow themselves to insult you no matter how much you respect them. It seems like this is the new customer policy that they don't allow customer even to complain anymore. They charge you extra for services you never request, whether it's mobile internet or home internet. A year and a half of paying an extra $10 for an additional service - and now for a few months now, $3-4 has been added to my home internet service. Several times I went to the Bell store in downtown and in face with their rude behavior. Even once I asked about the Bell gift card, they laugh at me and said, "Do you just remind it after one year," even though they initially told me when I bought the phone that it would come to my house by mail and I'd followed up several times.

I have paid 5 dollars more from July 2024 to date. Crazy!!! The excuse that they gave me is that the contract says that it could be a price increase during the term of 2 years.

I called to get a discount on the $56 monthly rate and the customer service rep gave me a promo for 6 months, supposedly. Bell still charged me the regular rate, and when I called to inquire and complain, they told me I misunderstood and I was told I wouldn't get a discount. They claimed someone called to tell me that. No email or call was received, and they refused to give me a refund or connect me with a supervisor. They also refused to give me the name of the employee who supposedly made a mistake by promising me a discount. What a shady company!
Do not believe their lies about discounted rates. They will lie and promise customers things that aren't true, and then they will turn around and say it was the customers fault.

I contacted their customer service to have it reduced, was promised a $50 credit good for 2 years, and to check back the next month. I called back the next month and they claimed they had never made such a promise, and said they could do nothing to reduce the bill. I cancelled on the spot. The kicker is that I was apparently talking to the so-called loyalty department, who seemed to have no interest in retaining a long-time customer. And every single call I've made to them invariably pestered me about adding a mobile plan, ignoring that this customer didn't want to pay MORE, and was trying to pay LESS.

I wish I could rate them 0 stars even though 0 is higher than they deserve. We had our internet hooked up in early January. Where the first technician said they had been to our address but the property wasn't accessible, but of course he was at the wrong address because the people they hire do not know how to read. Sad to say, but it's apparent. The second technician pulled up in front of the house down the street, I yelled and waved to him but nothing. The third technician stated they were there 4 hours before the scheduled time, a lie, as I had taken a day off of work to be there. It took 4 technicians to find our address, even then we needed a 5th to actually have the internet, because on hour 14 with the internet it was cut, the procedure was done completely incorrect.
Skip forward 2 months, so 4 days ago. We decided that we wanted to take advantage of a deal and 2 new phones, one with a number port the other to be a new line. We verified our identities and provided our credit card information as well as our Passport Number/Expiry. Thirteen hours later we received 3 separate emails.
1. Mobility order cancelled2. Account Deletion email
3. E-mail address change on the account
Bell told us that they had NO IDEA as to why it was cancelled. Stating "It gets cancelled when there is fraudulent activity on our account". Funny, We have had their home internet service for 2 months at this point. We didn't change anything. The representative was eager to have us consider we were being frauded by someone. We re-verified our information a second time, only to have an email 13 hours later stating the order was cancelled. The second process took well over 2 hours to get a new order done. Sixteen hours later we received another e-mail stating the mobility cancellation for the second time. Now I'm just angry. They kept flagging our order as fraud, EVEN AFTER VERIFICATION.TWICE! We were asked to wait some time for the correction to be made....
We verified a third time. Replaced the order, they had the fraud department, sales rep and a supervisor go over the new order. We were passed across two different representatives, one of which was on speaker phone. After hour 8 (day 3) of dealing with Bell, we were told a 4th time that our order was cancelled, minutes after everything had been verified across 3 departments, including the fraud department, sales and a supervisor.
We are done. Bell not only has shown extreme incapability of running their own services but the incapabilities of training, customer service, employees product and procedure education and the most important disrespect for the client. After 4 orders, 4 verifications and 9 different people and 1 supervisor they want us to travel to the nearest store, 14 kilometers away. They wasted 8 hours of our time, interrupted our dinner to screw us the fourth time.
So As of April 1st (no not an April Fools joke), we are disconnecting with Bell and moving over to their higher priced competitor Telus. The company that sells debt at the 5 year mark, buys it back after 5 years and sells it again after 5 more years. At least I know what they're like because of my friends experience.

I have not received a bill since to remind me of the cost month to month bill for the internet. I got 2 pre suspension notices within 2 days one for $311.01 and the second was for $380.54. They online stated my bill per month is $108.00 before and $124.20 after taxes, while their current online promo is $50.00 per month for 1 year and after the year it goes up to $75.00 a month for the same damn package internet alone. They are absolutely garbage at keeping their customers up to date on offers and packages, $124.20 a month for internet alone and this is rural area where fibreop is not available. I don't recommend them to anyone

They are thiefs. Always changing the amount of the bill. I canceled my service. In my account it was saying we are preparing your last bill for more than a month. When it was ready I paid the amount. A month later, I receive a fee for late payment charge. How I am supposed to pay a bill that is not ready. It's ridiculous.

Flat out consumer fraud. I have to use the wifi phone option in order for my cell service to work IN MY OWN HOME. Otherwise, when I receive a call, either it sounds like someone is calling me from 1974, or the person on the other end of the line says random parts of sentences just drop out. Red Deer is the third largest city in Alberta, and there are a number of neighbourhoods with poor to virtually no service. Yet I'm charged $87 per month. Tell you what, Bell: Charge me half (given it's half a service), and we'll call it good. I might even remove this review.

I signed a contract for a new phone with Bell not even a month ago, my first bill has just come in. I was just notified that my bill is now going up ten dollars a month due to me not wanting to setup autopay with my bank account. I have never before had my monthly bill cost go up while on a contract especially when it just started. I have had at least 2 previous phones with bell and my loyalty got me nothing except an increase as they say they can't do anything for me.
I budgeted based on my contracted amount and now I will surpass my budget. I am very angry that this is happening because I will not setup debit autopay. I was not informed before I signed the contract of this occurring either. I feel swindled and now I'm stuck for 2 years as it is past the 14 day buyer's remorse deadline. My best recommendation is to not chose Bell. Ask thorough questions before signing anything and find a better company. I will not be choosing Bell in future for anything.

I honestly can’t believe how awful my experience has been with Bell. I’ve been a loyal customer for years, but my recent issues have pushed me to the breaking point. For the past MONTH, I have been completely without Wi-Fi. That’s right—no internet at home for a full 30 days. This is completely unacceptable, especially when I’m paying for a service that I can’t even use. What makes this even worse is that Bell hasn’t shown any urgency in resolving the issue. Customer service has been incredibly unhelpful, giving me the runaround every time I call. I’ve been promised follow-ups that never happen and given no clear timeline for when the problem would be fixed.
And here’s the kicker: after a month of no service, I asked for some kind of compensation. Maybe a little something to make up for the complete inconvenience and frustration. What did Bell offer? Nothing. No free data, no discounts, no extra gigs—nothing at all. It’s like they don’t care about their customers once they’ve got your money. I can’t recommend Bell to anyone at this point. The service is unreliable, and their customer support is a joke. Save yourself the headache and go with another provider that actually values its customers. Bell has lost me for good.

I have been a Bell Canada customer since 2011 and for the most part, have always felt I was well-treated, even though the telecom prices in Canada are ridiculous. My opinion of Bell changed when my 2 year contract ended on January 3, 2025. I feel that the contract had been mis-represented to me and I was now facing a $650+ buy-out of my phone, which I was not expecting. My options were limited....turn the phone in for another and re-negotiate the contract or keep the phone and pay the fee. Even though I was happy with the phone I had and didn't want to replace it, as a retired person living on a pension, I couldn't afford the $650 for the buy-out.
I contacted Bell by phone and asked for the loyalty department, who had helped me the last time. The woman was pleasant enough and seemed helpful; she explained my options and helped me find the best plan for myself, and I agreed to it. She sent a message to a Bell store near me to pick up my phone and transfer the data, and I received a confirmation email. She said that there were none in stock to ship to me, so I would have to go in person. Within a couple of hours, I received a call from that location to advise that they didn't have the phone I wanted and they were cancelling the order.
After already having spent about 1 1/2 hours on the phone from my first call, I now had to call back. The representative was extremely unhelpful and at the end of another 2 hour call, they advised me that the phone I wanted wasn't available, as it has been discontinued (?) and they were having difficulty finding one. They told me that they manually called around to Bell locations near me, while I was on hold and that the College Park Bell location in Toronto had the phone I wanted, but because of their internal system limitations, they couldn't create a new order for me and advised that I go to the location, where they could pull up the original order to fulfill it which made no sense, since I was told that the order had been cancelled by the original location, who didn't have the phone in stock.
I made the trip to the store who had the phone, where I was advised by the manager Lisa **, that since the order was cancelled, there was no order to pull up. Lisa tried her very best to work with me, but she couldn't help in the end and told me that the contract I had been offered the day before couldn't be honoured, as the phone had now tripled in price! She said my only options were to do the buyout or try another carrier and return the phone to Bell, since I was trying to keep my expenses the same as I had been paying. Lisa told me that I had until February 1, 2025 to decide what I wanted to do, but she also offered to keep an eye out to see if the phone I wanted came down in price and she would call me if it did.
I left Lisa's College Park store and called Bell, where I got one of the rudest, most difficult people to deal with. She kept telling me that they couldn't honour the contract I had agreed to, since it had been cancelled and prices had changed overnight. I was absolutely livid and wrote Bell off as my service provider. However, true to her word, Lisa called me the next day and indeed she could get me the phone, which she did have in stock, for $1 more than I had been paying. She said that prices had dropped overnight. I immediately went to her store and completed the transaction.
Lisa's customer service is flawless and I understand why she is the store manager. If it had not been for Lisa **, I would have left Bell, as a very unhappy customer! I hope that Bell Corporate appreciates employees like Lisa....they are few and far between. Thanks so much to Lisa Khan at the Bell College Park store, for her exemplary customer service and saving the day for me!

Here’s a revised version of your complaint as a Google review without personal details: Review for Bell Services. While Bell’s mobile and mobility services are excellent, my experience with their home internet installation has been a disaster. I was promised installation within 1-2 days but faced repeated delays. 1. I canceled my existing internet services based on a promised installation date of December 31. 2. On December 31, I was told there was an internal mistake and rescheduled to January 6. 3. On January 6, despite assurances from a representative who claimed to have confirmed the new date with a technician, the installation was again delayed. 4. Today, January 9, I was informed the installation is delayed yet again until next week.
This level of negligence and poor communication is unacceptable. Mistakes happen, but repeated delays despite assurances show a lack of professionalism. This is how companies lose loyal customers. Bell needs to improve its service and provide compensation for the inconvenience caused.

If I can give 0 star I'll definitely will. I've encountered nothing but problems with my bill the moment I switched up to Bell (BYOD) back in October. First, I was promised to not be charged the connecting fee for the 2 lines I have ($147) and that my monthly bill will be around $87 for both phones because of the discounts and promotions they had that time. Come billing time, my I was charged the connecting fee and my monthly bill was $112 after tax. The connecting fees ($147) were credited back to my account after I disputed it but they couldn't do anything about the bill because it's been posted already. The lady who helped me over the phone was nice and offered to put me on a cheaper plan but it won't be in effect till this January since they do changes every first of the month and I called mid December. That's fine by me. I was told over the phone that my bill will be around $90 before tax for both lines.
Yesterday, I received an email breakdown of what my future bill will look like and it's $105 before tax. I called Bell to inquire about it but they couldn't find any notes on file. He said to wait until my bill is out but I told them the last time I did, I was told they couldn't do anything about it since it's been processed already. I'm calling Telus as I'm writing to switch back. Never again Bell. Oh the funny thing too is I received an offer last night for $31/month starting next month and took it, and the guy on the phone said that was the solution. What a joke!

After being transferred and given different numbers - I spoke with a chat agent and 3 others over the phone, on hold for a combined almost hour.

I have already said this to my Bell agent. But I have not received any solution. I got a plan started on the 1st week of January 2024.

That's how I found out that I was charged for 600 plus dollars for just one month.
To make it clear. I have not got any text or mail regarding alerting to let me know that there was data issue but nothing has popped up. So I changed my plan on October just to make sure I won't be charged for anything more. Then I tried to contact bell through text and calls but there was no response. So please take off my charges, I have not used any data or anything. Even the bell agent blames me for not calling them. Pretty straight forward they won't take a call if we are calling for solution.

**Review for Bell: ★☆☆☆☆**. I have been a customer of Bell since 2009, a loyal 15 years, but my recent experiences have been incredibly disappointing. It feels like they treat long-standing customers as if we've never been with them before, with no emphasis on customer retention. I recently missed a deadline for a phone upgrade and was shocked to find an $800 charge on my bill. When I called customer service, all I received was a dismissive "tough luck" regarding the phone's remaining costs. It's frustrating, especially since I'm part of their Employee Program (EPP), which has proven to be more trouble than it's worth. To make matters worse, the new Apple 1TB phone isn’t offered through Bell EPP program, forcing me to go to the Apple Store and deal with paperwork. Anything related to my phone has to be handled over the phone, as store agents are locked out of the system and the Bell app are both useless for these matters.
I also had issues with an Apple Watch I wanted to apply to the EPP. Despite finding the watch in a Bell store, the agent could not apply it and directed me to call the EPP program customer service. On the phone, I was told the watch wasn't in their system at that location and that I needed to drive an hour to another store to get it. This is unacceptable. Additionally, it took nearly six months to get my cable hooked up, and when it finally happened, the promised discounts were no longer applied. I had to threaten cancellation just to get the situation rectified. Overall, my experience with Bell has been frustrating and unprofessional over the years, no signs of improvement. I would not recommend their services based on the poor customer service and lack of support for loyal customers.

I am 100% convinced that if I was calling as a new customer there would be promotional discounts. But once again, Bell shows they can't be trusted and that current customers are taken for granted.

This lack of proper troubleshooting and care is incredibly frustrating, especially considering the customer in question has been loyal to Bell since the 1970s. She is an elderly individual who relies on her phone as her lifeline, making this level of service completely unacceptable. Rather than truly addressing the root cause of the issue, Bell’s approach seems to be putting a band-aid on the problem.

I’ve consistently had strange and frustrating experiences when trying to contact Bell’s customer service. The account verification process is unnecessarily convoluted. First, I’m asked for my account number—how many customers actually have this memorized? Why not just use the phone number on the account, which I’ve noticed some agents do to successfully pull up my information?
After providing this, I still have to verbally verify my email address, check my email for a passcode, submit that passcode, and even create a new one for Bell to assist me. This entire process took 10–15 minutes. While I managed to navigate it because I’m tech-savvy, I can’t imagine how difficult this would be for someone less comfortable with technology.
My advice: Make it easier to be a customer. This much back and forth isn’t necessary, and it’s frustrating. The clerk assisting me was patient and helpful, so I do want to thank him for his support, but the process as a whole is inefficient. Every time I call Bell, I end up spending nearly an hour on the phone for what should be a quick resolution. This reflects poorly on Bell, as it wastes both the company’s resources and the customer’s time.
Smart Home Services: The Smart Home system has been the most disappointing security experience I’ve ever had. I honestly feel I would’ve been better off using Alexa or Google devices for home security. For example, the second doorbell Bell installed is so slow to connect to the app that by the time the camera activates, the person at the door is already gone. For context, I use a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S24+ with Bell’s own 1.5Gbps Fibe internet. Despite this, Bell insists the issue lies with my connection—which they provided.
The billing process for Smart Home is another major issue. It’s separate from the One Bill system, which forces me to jump through hoops to pay. Worse, I have no clear visibility into what I’ve paid for—likely because the service hasn’t delivered any value. Even basic functionality like the doorbell doesn’t work properly, despite being adjustable through the main control box.
Overall Experience: I am deeply dissatisfied with my Bell experience. From the drawn-out customer service process to the subpar Smart Home services and disorganized billing, Bell needs to do much better. I hope these issues are addressed soon, as they are not reflective of the quality a leading provider should offer.

Bell just prove me why going with them was a terrible mistake. The customer service is so awful. I wanted to switch my services with them and the price I was given initially are almost doubled. The last person I spoke with told me that they cannot create a plan for me.

The technician who installed wiring in the townhouse complex where I live left wires hanging in front of all the neighbors' windows. Neighbors witnessed the lazy and careless way that the job was done.
