    I returned my phone in December to close the deal-got the proof and happy ending but no after 3 months they started sending the letters that I didn't return it so I must pay 600$. After calling, going to stores, calling explaining over and over, they finally after 6 months agreed that I returned it only to send another letter of late payment charges. Obviously that was a system error I thought and called them. After explaining to 3 people everything and then escalating it to manager-just to hear that, "You never closed your watch service." How can you explain to the manager that if phone service is closed- how can watch work!! Anyways extreme frustration during the call and it ended with me paying the late charges coz she kept repeating the nonsense. That was sufficient to turn me away from Bell forever.

    This company is so crooked that every time I need to deal with them for something, it's hard to believe that this is real life and not just a bad dream. I just cancelled my service and I am SO excited to never deal with Bell again. In the future, I will be fine with paying more for an inferior product just so I'm not giving Bell my business. To start with, they will harass you endlessly. They will call you daily until you answer and turn down the service they want you to add on, they will also show up at your door and then continue to show up at your door over and over again until they finally give up.

    One day I had the same guy come back every couple of hours to knock on my door and windows because I wasn't answering the door (Yes, he walked around to my windows and started knocking on those too). The customer service reps never have any idea what's going on or how to answer my questions. Anytime I do get my questions answered, they end up being wrong anyway. The sales representatives will outright lie to you to get you to sign up for the service and then add additional things to your bill that you did not ask for or consent to have added on.

    Cancelling my service required me to explain to 2 different reps why I need it cancelled, that I do not need internet at my new home so I don't want to transfer my services, and I have no clue who is moving into my current home so I can't transfer the account to them. After processing the cancellation, the representative explained to me that the bill I receive in September (for August) will be prorated because I'm cancelling in the middle of the billing cycle. That makes sense so I had no questions there but then she started talking about my October bill. I questioned why I would be receiving a bill in October and she could not tell me. I got so fed up with her I don't knows and beating around the bush that I told her I would just call and fight with them in October if I get a bill. My experience with Bell has been nothing but horrendous, I will NEVER bring my business to them again.

    I recently got a cell from Bell and traveled to Jamaica on vacation, turned off my roaming and immediately got a local SIM only to learn that my device was locked to Bell and was labeled STOLEN. I called and a rep tells me I’m on a NEGATIVE LIST. Huh???. I got back to Canada and was hit with a $1400 bill. They then took my $450 security deposit towards my “balance.” I went back to the same store, spoke to the same sales rep who got on the phone with Bell customer support. We were told that the balance of $1188 must be paid for service to be restored. Fuming through my ears at this point. Apparently my IDs I used at the time did not appear real so they disconnected my service and blocked the phone. Lmao.

    The store rep then proceeded to tell them that she’s staring at ALL my IDs. I was then told to wait on my next billing cycle in September and it will be all sorted out. Later that evening I checked my Bell app and all charges were reversed except $67. I then called customer service who advise me to pay that amount to restore service, I did and a few hours later the service was up and running. As I was due to travel to the UK the next day, I called back to inquire about roaming charges while I’m away and was told $16 per day. Got to the UK and the phone was just saying SOS. Can’t even make a call. Called Bell from the UK and was advised to pop into a APPLE store because the device seems to be an Apple issue. Did just that and was informed by APPLE and shown proof that the phone is STILL LOCKED BY BELL CANADA. We all know the what Canada says about selling LOCKED.

    My experience with Bell Internet has taken a turn for the worse due to their unethical rate increases 3 times in 2 years. Initially, I signed up for their service with a specific pricing plan with 3 years contract of fixed rate, thinking I could rely on a stable and affordable connection. However, my trust in Bell was shattered when they suddenly raised their rates without any prior notice or explanation.

    In conclusion, my experience with Bell Internet's rate increase has been disheartening and infuriating. The lack of transparency, declining service quality, and poor customer support have left me feeling like just another dollar sign to them. I would caution anyone considering Bell as their internet provider to think twice, as their business practices do not reflect a company that values its customers' loyalty and satisfaction.

Well they lied and made me pay $150.00 charge for ending the internet service. Horrible communication by this company, even though the bell representative who set us up admitted he told us that!

    I took Bell Fibe Internet, I was not satisfied with Bell fiber optic internet because it is worse than Cogeco as within few days I called them and told to disconnect my service as I am not satisfied. The representative told me to wait, "We will send the technician." They did not send technician on appointment I gave, next day I called. They said, "No request on our record." So requested again, a week after no one showed, call again. They said, "Sorry we will not give you service for your devices."

    Bell hold me for about 3 weeks. I did not use their service. Then I got bill for one month, I called. Talked with customer service, I talked with loyalty department, both department force me to pay bill, I did not pay for month then they start interest, in the end I paid my bill but now in my life I will never go with Bell for any services. They playing with customers and force customers to pay bill even you not satisfied for their service.

    Bell Canada is not deserving of any of the customers they have, they do not treat them with respect and act like the customer should be kissing Bell's proverbial rear end. They raised the cost of my plan without any notice to me, when I called to complain, Bell was oh so generous to give me a $5 credit for 2 months. When I questioned why they could just go raising the cost of my plan, they told me it was because I hadn't bought my phone from them - in other words, I didn't give Bell the opportunity to overcharge me for a cell phone and rip me off even more.

    I've since left Bell (good riddance!) and now Bell owes me money and they are in no hurry to return it to me. Surprise, surprise. Bell expects their customers to pay their bill on time and if the customer doesn't, Bell will take action to get their money. Yet it is okay for Bell to hold a former customer's money for a period of 90 days! What a double standard. Beware of this to anyone thinking of going to Bell or currently using Bell. Make a statement and leave. Hit Bell in their pocketbook.

    I requested to continue to receive paper bills, but the person said corporate wants everyone to have an online account to pay a bill. I do not want to have to log in, into an account 30 times a month to pay phone bills (I have 20-30 accounts with Bell). What if I do not know how to use a computer? How is this good customer service?? It should be up to the customer how they receive their Bill. Bell's service in Rural areas is also garbage. Whether you are using landlines or cell phones your call always drops. FIX your problems or you won't have any customers. When you Google Bell reviews there is not one good thing said about the company, perhaps that should be looked at by corporate. Ask your customers what they want, since they are paying you it is not what you want.

    I am absolutely furious with the abysmal experience I had with Bell's tech support. Not only did they refuse to connect me to a supervisor, but they also failed to resolve my internet problem effectively. It's apparent that their incompetence and lack of accountability have left me in a state of extreme frustration. Let's start with the initial issue. My internet was working, albeit slowly, and I sought assistance from Bell's tech support team. Instead of investigating the root cause, they immediately suggested changing the modem. Trusting their expertise, I received the new modem as advised.

    To my utter disbelief, as soon as I plugged in the new modem, my internet connection ceased to function altogether. This was a clear indication that the problem did not lie with the modem itself, but rather with Bell's network or configuration. I promptly reached out to tech support again, hoping they could rectify the situation promptly.

    However, instead of providing effective solutions, the tech support representative was unhelpful and dismissive. When I requested to speak with a supervisor, I was met with resistance and denial. It is unacceptable that they denied me access to a higher authority who could potentially address the issue more competently. This lack of accountability and transparency is highly unprofessional and disrespectful to customers like myself.

    After hours wasted on the phone with unhelpful agents, we attempted to revert to the old modem, hoping to regain at least some internet connectivity. To our dismay, the old modem failed to work as well. It became evident that Bell's troubleshooting procedures were flawed, as they failed to consider the possibility of network or configuration issues. It was only after considerable frustration and effort that I managed to restore my internet connection by myself.

    This entire ordeal has left me thoroughly dissatisfied with Bell's technical support. Their refusal to connect me to a supervisor, coupled with their inability to diagnose and address the root cause of my internet problem, is simply unacceptable. As a paying customer, I expected a higher level of professionalism and competence from Bell, but they have failed to meet even the most basic standards.

    I strongly advise against relying on Bell's technical support for any internet-related issues. Their inability to provide adequate solutions, coupled with their unwillingness to escalate matters, demonstrates a severe lack of customer-centricity. It is regrettable that I have had to endure such an exasperating experience with a service provider that I once trusted. I hope that Bell takes immediate steps to rectify their internal processes, enhance their technical support capabilities, and restore customer confidence. Until then, I will actively discourage others from relying on their subpar support services.

    After years with this company both internet, TV and mobility, yesterday was it for me. Bundled package and seen my mobile phone, which I own and only paying for a service went up $25.00 per month & 94.00 per month for a service and no phone contract at all. The service agent, after 3 holds, only offered $9.00 discount. Unreal. Service was next to none, no respect for someone who has been with this company for years and has a bundled internet and mobile bill. That was it for me. Went and took my phone number, went to Koodo and for more Gigs got more than I had with Bell for $45.00 per month. That’s respect when you own your own phone.

    Now internet is next. Working on Rogers. Bell Aluantnis gouging everyone for the bigwigs. Bad enough with necessities like food and gas. The infrastructure crap that they tell you is crap. They have enough clients, that’s all they bring up, or better service. Well that’s crap too. It’s all about the $. So as a past client, I got it cheaper, works just as good or better. And no I will never go back to gougers. Go to Koodo. No contract change when you want. On the phone with Rogers. Bye Bell. They gouge all their clients and add whatever and whenever they want.

    I canceled my current provider because of the frustration I encountered. I chose Virgin because I use them for my cell. My experience started off with 5 minutes of chat with Victor. He then asked to call me as this would be easier. I prefer the phone. Victor was pleasant and explained from beginning to end my packages. He was very patient with me considering I picked apart the payment plan. He stayed on the phone with me for at least 1hr making sure I understood the plan exactly.

    The website had technical difficulties and apologized for the inconvenience and that he would call me at 10 am the next day to complete the order. True to his word ...at 10 am the next day Victor called.

    Again, Victor went over my order. Providing instructions on what was included on my order, how much down to the penny my bill would be. Made an appt for the technician coming to my home. I was to buy a fire stick from Amazon. There was no charge for the installation, or the modem for the internet. Comparing my bill from the previous provider. My bill from Virgin including my phones already on the account is going to be $200 cheaper. I highly recommended Virgin. Victor provided excellent service. Many thanks.

    I hate this company with all every fiber of my being. I would give them 0 stars if I could. First off they wouldn't give me the Black Friday discount as I wasn't a new customer. Even though my account was only 48 hours old. Now if I want to cancel I have to pay 2K to get out of my contract. Because I have to pay the device balances (which I am more than fine with) and I have to pay back the discount. Not one single employee at Bell can explain to me why this is not really a discount.

    That's like buying a tv and the shop tells you have to keep it for 2 years or you have to pay the shop 1K to sell it to another person.

    Telus offered me a way better deal and had to cancel that deal because of Bell's stupid hidden "discount" fee. Bell offered to compete with Telus and the offer wasn't an offer I would have had to pay 100 dollars more?!? I had 2 customer service agents tell me "I wouldn't take that offer." Wait your CS and Sales is telling customers to not take deals? Thank you for the honesty but really? They were correct. I wouldn't have taken the deal.

    Bell has taught me a very valuable lesson. Don't ever get a phone through a telecom company starting with a B ending with a L. Fido never did this to me, gave me the discount and let me pay it off early. Telus did the same thing for me. Bell nope. It's either pay the full amount or be a prisoner with their 0 star customer service. Oct 18th 2024 can't come soon enough. Remember you the customer is the reason why Bell is so great. Ya right!!!

    I preordered through Bell, the new Samsung S23 (early Feb) after which, I realized I meant to order the Ultra S23. When I called into 611 to change my order I was told to wait until I received the first phone and just send it back which I did late February. After numerous calls to upgrade to the Ultra S23, I was told that as soon as the warehouse scanned the received phone, then I could complete the new upgrade.

    Today, I called to check again. Canada Post tracking shows received over 2 weeks ago but the warehouse has yet to confirm this. Now they say I missed the deadline! The phone that is now sitting in the warehouse has been automatically activated. They will now expect me to return the old phone or charge me for that but I have no other phone to replace.

And if you try to seek for an explanation, they will make you go in circles and speak to different people to wear you out. None will give you a valid explanation for the additional charges except that "whether you like it or not you have to pay". Let's not forget the less than satisfactory services the company provides.

I asked them to unlock the cellphone but they won’t until I pay a total of 2000$ that I’m not supposed to pay because there was fraud under my name. Big, unprofessional mistake and lack of competence that nobody was able to fix.

    When I said I won’t pay for all of it but just for the one phone, one line that I ordered.

    From the beginning since I’ve been with Bell from 2019 I have had a terrible experience. This review is pretty lengthy. Read it through. I never dealt with anything like this before with any other phone company. It’s just outrageous of how their customer service is atrocious. So basically, I was on the return phone program, wasn’t stated when I got the phone, now when it’s time to return the phone they told me I have to pay either $600 or return the phone and the amount will be cleared.

    But obviously there’s a catch to something since I paid my actual amount on my phone bill. They want me to pay half of the 600 before I bring the phone back so I can have my back service on. The whole time my service has been cut off, I have to wait to get my other phone so I can return this phone so the whole time now I have to wait with no service no way to call no one until I get my new phone for my new phone provider company. This company has put me through so much financial issues. I paid literally I feel more than the phone actually cost. Just never AGAIN!!!!

    Please for people who are gonna be going on contracts with Bell DO NOT DO IT!!!! Trust me you’ll regret it!!!! Terrible experience. Also, I went to Florida last year 2022 I put on a long-distance plan throughout the time they come off my service. I paid my service they cut off again and said they’re going to credit me the money that I lost. They never credited me so basically, I lost money that didn’t even have to pay and also with the long-distance plan they charge me the full thing, the whole time why my phone was cut off.

    I’ve had many years of experience with Bell - and really the only way I can describe them is scam artists. Almost every bill I receive is incorrect, prices are increased, items are being charged that I don’t own, unknown services fees and additional charges are added. Their customer service department is an absolute joke. No one seems to know anything - you will be transferred to 8 different departments, where you have to explain the issue over and over again. No matter how clear the situation may seem, they will not understand what you are expressing. It’s truly as if they have been instructed to misunderstand every situation in which Bell may owe a customer money. I am sure I have lost thousands of excess dollars in the years I spent with Bell. I'm happier having poor service than being on a Bell network.

    I broke my phone. They told me 3 business days max to get a new one, $300 because I have a warranty. I get to pay $300 on top of a monthly warranty fee lol. I told them I need my phone for work in 4 days, they said no problem. 6 days later, still no phone and there's no urgency on their end at all. The Canadian government allowing this oligopoly happen here is a joke. This company has overcharged Canadians for a long time and they don't care.

    If I could give a 0-star review, I absolutely would. About 18 months ago, I stupidly left my old contract at another company so that I could get the Samsung Galaxy Flip 5G (which you should never get a Flip or Fold if you want a phone that actually works). Anyway, I switched and have regretted it since. Not even 6 months in having the new phone, the screen got a HUGE line in the middle (where the flip would be) that began totally swallowing the screen. Not even 2 weeks later did a bunch of dead pixels began to show up (I have 14 dead pixels on my screen now).

    I contacted Bell and they told me that I had to go through Samsung, which I thought made sense since it is their phone. So I contacted Samsung, and they told me that I would have to pay a $150 deposit, send the phone to Montreal and wait up to 3 weeks to have it repaired (which, in this day and age with work and personal stuff, I couldn't go 3 weeks without) so I decided against it. Then, my screen got worse, so I contacted Samsung and they said to go to Bell (so I did).

    I explained the 3 week thing without the phone and they sent a loaner phone (which was SO OLD that I couldn't back up ANYTHING from my current phone). I tried for two days, and couldn't do it. Fast forward to about 8 months ago, a GIANT black dot (almost like a burn) is on the screen and taking up a large portion of the screen. THEN, my phone stops receiving calls, texts and cannot function AT ALL. So I tried TWICE within the 8 months to be given a new phone or to have my device balance removed as I CANNOT use it. I was told that they could not do anything about the balance (which they can, they create the phone plans and can override) and that I could pay this or that to pay off the phone or try to repair it AGAIN. I have not received ANY help and they are just taking my money. Worst service imaginable. STAY AWAY FROM BELL!

    They don’t have tower around airport area and still offering the plan in the area, I got four line for my business, but very bad reception and call drop all the time, I contacted their technical support several time and finally they got back to me a day after the deadline for cancellation and described and admitted that the reason is they have no tower in the area. I asked them to cancel my plans and return their devices but they said that I passed the deadline, which is lie cause I didn’t pass the line.

    So I went through the whole process of reaching the appropriate departments step by step up-to CRTC and finally they gave up and they said they can’t forced them although they accepted that I am on right side. They said there is some grey areas. I contacted to the president of Bell and he assign a person to deal with my case and he came to a conclusion that I supposed to change the providers and sell my cell phones on Facebook marketplace and pay the Bell their part. They are the worst people in business and none of the government department can do anything for consumers. So please stay away from Bell no matter how much of the good plans they offer.

    I've told this story to so many people now in a hope to discourage anyone from using this terrible lying company that I am going to try and keep it short and summarize and much as possible, but it still makes me so mad that I doubt I can hold back. First we were so excited to get Bell Fibe to our home. There was really no other choice once Bell stopped offering internet over the phone lines in our area because the lines are wet and hum horribly. We paid Bell for almost unusable phone lines for over 40 years. For safety we had to do this. Cell service is not even an option.

    Along comes Fiber internet!!! So happy and it works so well. We made a call to add an additional receiver because we got Fibe TV too. When the call was over the operator offered us a deal to upgrade our already stupidly fast internet to Crazy insane Fast internet, all for only $10 a month more. It seemed like we did not need it, but we got caught up with the excitement and said yes.

    The very next month I noticed my Bill was now way higher than what it was supposed to be. I called Bell because this was obviously a mistake. The Bell agent checked and sure enough he could see the deal I was offered but he said the transaction had never actually been completed. He tried but said there was a computer problem and he could not give me that offer. I said, "Fine, just put me back to the way it was." I was told that he could not do that. Because I accepted the offer that they could not even give me, my contract was now considered open and I lose all my start up new customer discounts and they can NEVER be reinstated.

    So now my new bill was going to be MORE for the original services than what I was going to pay for the new package. I even canceled my Phone service and the bill is still more than it was with the original start up deal for all three services. This is a predatory unfair practice. Tricking customers into opening their accounts with offers they can't honor is nothing short of lying and stealing from people. I've spoken to countless Bell reps during the please don't leave us stage of closing my phone account. They offered everything under the sun accept to just give me back my original deal. So to recap, if you have ANY other choice DO NOT USE BELL CANADA!!!!

    BEWARE OF BELL CANADA: We are located in Thorold in the Confederation Heights area. We recently switched over to BELL Canada internet with the promise of excellent customer service and their Fibe 100 internet package. When the tech came to install, he said the underground cable was damaged and could only give us half the speed by temporarily connecting us to our neighbour's cable. This was temporary until November 16th when someone was supposed to come and fix the issue. Came home on the 16th to our lawn and landscaping spray painted and filled with little flags to mark the utilities but the internet cable still dangling between our house and the neighbours.

    I called Bell a couple of days and after being passed around departments and dealing with incompetent employees I am told that BELL won't send anyone out to fix the cable because they stop doing cable work on November 1st and we've been pushed until May 2023. Nobody could explain why we were told it'd be fixed the 16th or why they would send out the city to mark up our lawn if no work was going to be done until May 2023. I spoke to countless clueless managers, NONE of which followed up with me as promised. This went on for days as I was calling to follow up and not getting the same managers so the whole process would start from the beginning again with promises of a follow up and calls that never came.

    Then on the 24th of November I wake up to a contracted telecommunications company working on fixing our cable. They said they do this work year round and BELL is lying saying they don't send them out past November 1st. They fix the cable, I call BELL to upgrade our speed and the first sales rep tells me that the Fibe 100 package is not available in my area!! The second sales rep tells me they can't do it due to the cable being damaged. I had to practically scream at her to get her to understand that the cable has been fixed. She couldn't comprehend this information. I asked for a manager and she refuses saying that they'll tell me the same thing.

    I finally get a manager and ask him how's its possible that when I look up all my neighbours addresses on their website, Fibe 100 is available to everyone but me. He finally gives me some excuse that too many people have fast internet in my area so they can't switch me. I then get transferred to a case manager who said he'll look into things for me and get back to me. I'm not feeling particularly confident that I'll actually get a call back. I did file a complaint through the government to a telecommunications watchdog agency. Oh and yes BELL did have the nerve to send me a bill for the Fibe 100 internet package and it took two calls to get it sorted. Long story short, stay far away from BELL CANADA.

    We have been Bell Mobility clients for just over a year and we have found them to be very unethical. When our 2-year contract is over, we will sign on with an alternate provider. Last year, while in the US, we added the monthly travel plan; they sent us a text confirming that it was in place, but about halfway through the month, we started receiving warnings that we were roaming.

    When I called to check, they denied that we ever requested the roaming package and were charging us for all usage. To avoid this problem, we requested a change to our contract to include US usage to begin on November 4th when we came to the US. However, we've now received our bill for October and they included the US plan costs. When I called to complain of the overcharge, the agent said that there is nothing she can do, we have to pay the charges for the month previous because that's how their billing system works. It is unbelievable that they get away with their unethical practices and as consumers we are simply helpless!!

    Bell gives you a 30-day "buyers remorse" opt-out when you get a phone from them on contract. So if you become dissatisfied with your phone or notice it has issues after the fact, you are screwed. When I got my phone, I was busy finishing a renovation at the time, so it was past the 30 days before I could really play with the phone and test it out. I noticed rather quickly that there was issues, but being a tech-savvy person, I tried to research the problems myself. No solutions.

    So I went from a 5-year-old Samsung note 9 to a brand new pixel 6. apps I used for hours (infinity if I plugged it in) on the note9 wouldn't last an hour before shutting down. Also, some apps won't allow me to view them full screen when turned sideways, or enlarged through app options. So I have been very unhappy with the pixel 6.

    After calling Bell about my problems (about 2 months after getting phone) I am told that "buyer's remorse" was my only option and I missed it. I asked if there was an upgrade option, whereas I pay a penalty, and get a pricier contract for a more expensive, better phone. I was told the only way to upgrade, was to buy out the phone entirely from my contract (about 750$) and then cash it in on a new phone (for about a 200$ credit [I wish I was joking but I am not]).

    I then gave up, but decided to pursue the RMA option as Reddit forums seemed to suggest that the phone might be a dud. Bell service told me that I would be able to take it to my nearest Bell store, have all my info transferred to a temp phone, and Bell would return it/exchange it for a working phone. I went to my nearest Bell store and they looked at me there like I was an alien. I went to the next Bell store and after having to insist, since they were refusing me outright on the sales floor, I was hooked up with a tech (only after making a stink), and was told I could only get a cheap, crappy old loaner phone, that didn't have the capacity to transfer all my data over to it.

    And of course, all their customer service is English as a second language, ** people who read from a flow chart and can do NOTHING to help you out with any intelligent, holistic solutions. So I essentially was left with no option, and I am now still in limbo. TLDR: Bell will offer ZERO help if you have an issue with the products they sell you. Zero accountability.

    It is become clear to me that Bell Canada doesn't care about its customers anymore. Years ago, the Customer Loyalty Dept would go many extra miles to satisfy the customer and find a mutual agreeable solution to the customer's issues. Today, they talk from scripts and don't go out a single iota from the list with plans. I am certain that this was a problem waiting to aggravate, since all the communication companies in Canada are allowed to have backdoor agreements. All have the same plans, the same prices, the same offers, and the same behavior. But, since I am Bell's customer I complain about Bell and - after 20 years of being their customer - I can give them a single star review (there is no zero star) and I promise to go the extra mile for finding another provider for my voice and data needs.

    My wife and I both work from home and recently moved to a rural area. We were told Bell internet was high speed and that was a lie. What’s worse is that twice in the last week they have made errors and shut off our internet TWICE. The last time was in the middle of a work day and it was because they “made a mistake.” Even worse, to correct this mistake takes up to 24 hours!!!! They can stop your service with a click of a button but can’t turn it back on for 24 hours?!?!? Unacceptable. For the price they charge, they should offer better service. Plus their customer service people are rude and incompetent. If I could give them less than 1 star I would. As soon as we change service providers I will never buy or pay for another Bell service as long as I live. Just the worst company EVER!!!!

    We were moving in our new house on May 31, so, to avoid weeks of no internet, I phoned Bell to make an appointment on May 11, June 2 was the hook up date I was given. The 2nd came and went, so on the 3rd I called to see what had happened, only to find there was an issue with the address (which had already been identified, addressed, and "fixed" on the original call), and my hook up date was moved to the 14th, no email, no phone call, nothing from bell whatsoever, and would have known nothing unless I called, spent 3 hours talking to 10 different people, with zero satisfaction, and that's how many stars I'd give 'em if it were possible, bell is the only game in town up here where I live, and they act accordingly, very poor service, just not good enough in my books!!!

    Horrible. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH BELL!!!! EVER. Go to Rogers. Or anyone else. I was new to Canada. Signed up for an $84 per month internet, phone and TV package for 12 months. A couple months later was being charged $290 per month. 5 months in, was charged $750 for one month. When I phoned them (3 times for two hours at a time) to ask what was happening, just got transferred from person to person. So I never figured out what was wrong. Then got told that my TV somehow got cancelled, so the whole $84 p/m fell apart and I'd been paying for TV, Internet and phone separately. But nobody at Bell had informed me. And now I had $1371 bill to pay, for no reason that had been communicated.

    Have subsequently learned from Canadians that this is kind of normal behaviour from Bell, and have been advised that I should have never gone to Bell in the first place and should have chosen Rogers instead. Because Bell is famously bad. So, for anyone in Canada looking for internet, phone, TV or anything like that. Please don't make my mistake. Please avoid Bell at all costs.

    My family is super frustrated with this company. We had been (internet, TV & 4 mobile) clients for over 25 years. After much frustration, we left Bell. Years later, we decided to give them another chance in the internet and TV area, and what a mistake. In a nutshell, they are so abusive in their lack of customer service. We live in Montreal, and have been incredibly unsatisfied. The latest woe is 4 days in a row where we stay at home waiting for the technician to fix an outdoor cut wire, and no one shows up. We are done with Bell. If you value your health and your blood pressure, do yourself a favour. Don’t touch any of Bell offering. Good luck.

After several hours trying to correct the problem they said they would need to send out a technician. Technicians were a no show.

    Unfortunately our service with Bell Aliant has been very poor since our first connection. This is our first experience with Bell as we have been with Eastlink prior. Bell has proven to be an unethical company that focuses more on money than quality and customer service. We have not had consistent, reliable internet connection since first signing with Bell. You can see from our call notes that we have called multiple times for poor quality, little to no internet, tech support etc. There has been a time where tech was supposed to come to our home and months later no visit.

    Working from home it is important to have quality wifi. My service was then abruptly disconnected. We had an overdue account, which I was willing to pay for. In my error, I assumed we had automatic bill payment. I wanted a credit to my bill for the months of poor quality, however none was given and on top of that they wanted to charge Me a reconnecting fee. I was bounced around from multiple staff in multiple departments, all with different responses. One told me I could pay over phone, the other said I couldn't. One said a reconnecting fee could be waited, the other said it couldn't. They kept pressing the issue that nothing could be done unless I paid them, regardless of the poor quality and multiple tech calls.

    Out of frustration, I decided I didn't want a reconnecting fee. I no longer wish to have service with an unethical company that requires full payment for poor service. I will pay the past due because I am ethical and moral, however will not use it for personal or my business locations. Bell, I hope your company is happier now that you have received payment, but I would never recommend this company to any person or business.

After going through all that, 5 years later, we needed to cancel services that had become too expensive during COVID and we needed to make changes. First, I was told that I couldn't make changes or cancellations because I was not on the account, even though 5 years prior I had filled out all the paperwork to be on the account and had made changes in those years. Then when they finally did find my name on the account, they informed me that we had an automatically renewing contract and refused to work with us, as a non-profit, to find ways to lessen the fees associated with contract termination.

    Here are few tips for the people who are going for Bell especially new immigrants, NEVER EVER GO FOR BELL. Worst customer service, just after your money, you will get charged over $200 even if you ask for billing history. No warnings for remaining data. You will get to know only once you have hundred of dollars over in billing. If you try to ask them about the situation their agents walk away or try to blackmail you like it will be on your credit history, you will be defaulter blahh blahh. I've paid over $1200 once I was new in Canada and that time I was hardly making $1100/month. Still remember that month how I survived financially. I was dying waiting to complete my term and switch to some other connection, after my term I still overcharged for 4 months, I asked them to send me the billing, and I was charged over $200 for that whether it was available online and no one told me about that.

    If you go to best buy to buy a new device they will ask you nicely, bell is the no 1 network. Reply them politely no thanks. It's been 2 years I am using Rogers, in my experience it's the best network, affordable and cheap packages. Their coverage is awesome never let me down. And the thing I like the most they value customers not money. This is my honest review, and my experience with them, no offense to anyone.

He then told me if I didn't speak with him he was my last phone call before creditors would come after me.

    Not only was this incredibly offensive the gentlemen took my tracking from me again and told me he couldn't find any information and would have to transfer me another person who then found my package immediately after I gave him the SAME tracking number. I have never been spoken to like this before or had this problem with any other company in my life and will never use Bell for any services again.

    Customer with Bell for one year (Home Internet): they are crazy expensive, their customer service is essentially fraud, and the service provided is not even good. Service Review: I lost Wifi connections for entire days sometimes (required tech visits to fix 3 times), modem took 30-40 minutes to reboot every time and that did not even help (even though I went through 3 different modems). So I ended up wasting lot of time every time on the phone with technicians who would keep rebooting the modem as they didn't believe me when I warned them (which is fair, but by the 4th time you'd expect they make some note in the file or something).

    I also was paying for the Fibe 50, but the upload speed was max 1 mbp (instead of 10) and the download speed max 26 mpb for a year - eventually one tech figured out that the previous one had capped my service at 25 Mbps instead of 50. After he fixed it, the speeds went up for a few weeks then back to 25 again. All of this I had been relatively tolerant of as I live in an old house, relatively far from downtown (still in an urban area), and mistakes can happen. It's the customer service that really convinced me to leave Bell. Btw, what they call Fibe is not optic fiber in most cases (in my case it was DSL). Customer Service: They will absolutely lie on the phone about promotions you are eligible for and what changes they are making to your account. It's common to have discrepancies between what is said on the phone and the written email confirmations with those telecom companies, but with Bell it is systematic.

    For me they have outright lied about the existence of student discounts; signed me up for the TV app without letting me know (which I learnt about through an email later), even though I repeatedly said I have zero interest in TV promos as I don't own a TV; tried to bill me for a returned modem (which I would have paid 230 CAD for (!!!!) if I hadn't managed to find the tracking number, and then again it took 3 tries until they finally confirmed the charge will be lifted, and I still haven't received the money); sent a TV streamer I said no to, once again I assume because they are hoping to milk the non-return fees out of me; refused any sort of discount to make up for all the technical issues mentioned above.

    Price: Also in terms of pricing they are not even competitive (I'm getting a service that's of comparable quality for 40 CAD less the first three months, and 20 CAD less from then on, and that's not even addressing all the extra charges etc. Depending on the periods, my monthly fees ranged from 85-95 CAD, taxes included. All that for 25 Mbps Home Internet (≤2 Mbs upload, which makes for terrible zoom calls).

    As mentioned above, to avoid non-return fees prepare yourself to challenge the bills: keep the tracking number (which, honestly, should be on them as they give out a special shipping sticker) for the next few months-possibly years, and call them non-stop until you get your hands on that check. If you lost your tracking number for returned equipment, Purolator and possibly other couriers may be able to track it down from your phone number or other information. Read all the emails carefully as you have 2 months to challenge any charge - they will absolutely take advantage of the fact that most of us have better things to do than to spend hours on the phone talking with dishonest representatives and charge random stuff whenever they can.

    Miscellaneous: The cherry on top is their non-stop calling to ask for me to sign up to new services, to review their service, and since I have left now they keep trying to get me to come back. I am going 2 stars as I had Internet most days (a low bar) nonetheless, and the wait time on the phone is ok. I have now left for another provider, which is outperforming BELL in terms of price, service quality, and customer service so far.

    Moved from Bell to another service provider recently. When new sim was inserted to in the phone, it asked for PIN to unlock the phone. Called Bell. They gave me a number that was incorrect so after 3 attempts it blocked the pin. Now it's asking for SIM PUK pin. Called bell, I got transferred from one department to another and finally told me to call new service provider to get it. Called them. They told me to use the sim in another phone to see if it work and it did. I call Bell again. No one wanted to to listen to this and keep insisting that I call Telus my new Service provider that it's problem with SIM.

    When I explained that SIM works in another device how can it be the problem with SIM? I got transferred to someone else and I start all over again. I spent 4.5 hours on the phone. Finally they gave me the phone number for Samsung and problem was solved in 2 minutes. It was phone not SIM. That was 4.5 hours spent on the phone away from my business. I have other services with Bell. I will consider leaving Bell.

    They suspended my account without any notification via text, call or email. My line and my wife’s is completely cut off. No service at all. No way for me to call them as both are cut off. So I used the chat live on Bell App to communicate with them. They said they can’t help me as it's a different department who handles reconnection. I told them that my line is cut off and no way for me to call them. We are in a small town where all communications is limited. They said I need to call them as that's the only way to reconnect my line. I waited for my wife who just finished her 12 hours duty as nurse to wake up then I went out to find a phone. Btw, the chat lasted almost 1 hour without any positive results. Then when I got the chance to connect with them, of course long wait on the phone, then an agent transferred me to the dept who handles my problem.

    After waiting for almost 15 mins, the call just got cut, so I called again and told the agent to make sure someone will answer my call when he transfer me again. I finally got to talk with the agent, she verified everything and I answered all with no mistakes, then she told me to hold for another 10 minutes, after that, she told me that I should have contacted Bell after getting all the plans from them, I have 2 post paid lines, 2 ipad lines and 2 apple watch lines. I took all these gadgets in 2 different branches, none of those agents informed me that I have to call Bell to verify all the services that I took from them! I mean who does that? They already verified my identity when they gave me those services.

    Anyway, now this agent is asking me for another verification, she started asking for my my address which I gave her then ask me for another 2 more previous addresses! I mean, why would you ask me for my previous addresses, I didn’t even put them on my profile. Out of frustration and anger, I told her to forget about my request to reconnect, and just cancel all the services then I hanged up. That was another 30mins of conversations with no positive result. 3rd attempt, with chat live, same no positive results, the agent even put that someone is pretending to be me. They said they suspended the account because there is a possible fraudulent. This agent is trying to cover up her bad service as labeling me a fraud, while I answered all here verification correct. So now, I will be celebrating New Year with no lines me and my wife. If something happen, there is no way we can call emergency response.

    Also, one of my Ipad has 1GB plan and usually, when you’re about to run out of plan, they notify you to avoid charges. With this one, they notify me after over usAge of 400MB on top of my 1GB and the worst part is, that 400MB is worth $50! Thats pure robbery! What a shame to the telecom who overcharge people. While US is offering unlimited data for an affordable rate, Canada is charging so much money for a limited data plus they will make a trap where they will notify you once your over your limit.

They don't offer compensation and when they finally give you compensation after a long discussion, they still claim no responsibility and claim "it's a courtesy".

Since it was a student account they couldn't find the money, even though I had my bank charges send over TWICE! It took them more than 5 weeks until I got charged back due to an internal error when they set up my account as a normal account first and upgraded it to an student account. I lost about 20+ hours on the phone and disputes with the Customer Service and the Bank. I also got a wrong advice before cancelling, resulting in another payment of 49$.

But I was charged for a full year and can not get a refund because I didn’t cancel before subscription renewal date. First, any other subscription notifies you when your renewal is coming, second most subscriptions allow you to cancel and be refunded from date of cancellation. The way Bell Media quietly renews and refuses to refund cancellations is theft. I was told I should have read my agreement.

    Well my fiance has been a customer for roughly 15 years I'm under his account and our son's phone as well. That means nothing to Bell Mobility. I broke my phone end of July. My contract was over Oct.. I owed $450 to get out of rest of my contract and phone was paid off. I have paid the monthly protection fee every month. So with that protection plan almost full term of my phone was well over $400. When asked what it covered well definitely was not the screen apparently. I needed to send it away and it would be the cheapest $230 to fix it. Now the problem was trying to move at that time unexpectedly. I did not have extra money to do anything at that moment.

    I called bell to find any other option. They gave me none. With no other phone, computer, or laptop I could use, I was without anything now. I tried to down my plan to lowest. They had to pay out few months of contract and go without a phone for a bit till I could afford one. No in order to do that I had to still pay the $450 to break contact. Then if I had that money I would have just start a new contract with a new phone after I paid that off. I DID NOT HAVE EXTRA AT THAT TIME. They offered nothing, I was stuck without anything. Eventually the representative said should send it in to get fixed and she would send out a loner phone which would be compatible with my current phone. That ended that conversation but I was not happy about it.

    I called back again and finally got a supervisor and after a lot of pretty much begging they knocked it down to $250 To get out of the contract. She would send me the new Samsung s21 in the mail. And start a new contract. Ok I took what I could get at that point. I was out of options. Now the ridiculous part comes. I get my phone in mail. It's all good but the phone is garbage. Will NOT hold a charge for more than 5 hours. When I do charge it it gets soo hot right away. The speaker was the worst. Always cut in and out and the volume was soo low it barely put out full blast.

    I complained multiple times and got no ways to fix this problem. Ohh wait send it in to get fixed. A brand new phone? And now I am stuck in same spot with no phone again. I called. Still nothing I can do but send it in. I think close to a month later I get a facebook message a lady has a package for me delivered to her address a few weeks Back. When I got it from her (thankful she was honest and found me) it was the loaner phone. I had no idea was a actually sent since the same day the loaner was offered I bought a new phone. It was a Lg.

    Ok now I guess I can send my S21 in right? No cause it's not fully compatible to transfer my pics, contacts, music, etc. I took it in. See if The Source people could help. They tried a bunch of things and couldn't get it. I spent hours googling and downloading things. They say would transfer my info over. Nothing worked. I have talked to bell people multiple times on this too. Still nothing. I even asked if they could send a new phone to a distributor of their phones and I could go in transfer info then be sent back through store (since if I bought it at that store I would take it back there and I'd get a new one then). Nope they said. Was a mailed phone so that's the only option I could do I was told mail it back.

    The supervisor never offered me to go get the phone from a store at any time. Only through the Mail I could get one she said. I complained since I was still without a phone for 4-7 days until it got there and she said that was the best she could do. I was completely stuck and felt bullied and defeated. So now I've talked multiple times to Bell in the next bit. Trying to get help with transferring to loaner phone I was told to call manufacturer of lg. See what I could do. I was using loaner phone getting ready to suck it up and lose my info and pictures just to be done and wipe the S21 clean to send back and get this problem fixed and over with after they decided if it was manufacturer default they would send me a new one or fix it and send back.

    The next day after being on the phone I got a $350 charge for the loaner that has not been returned. Which they know I'm actually using from previous day. I phoned back to see what was up. Finally after forever on the phone I got a lady and she finally was some help. She mentioned Buyer's Remorse. No one ever mentioned buyers Remorse before to me. She and I were on the phone for a while. She activated my buyer's remorse, told me what to do. I got the email of the tag to return the phone. Ok maybe getting somewhere now.

    Just the other day I phoned about the $350 added to my bill and the fact the loner was sent to the wrong address and why there was a $575 charge to my bill? Well in the time I was on the phone another $1000 was added to my bill. Now I have a $1800 bill and no phones. So now I'm told that $575 is cause I ended my plan early. The $1000 was for the phone that is past buyer's remorse. Well after being on the phone and getting to another person and another person I got to a supervisor and she was discussing with her higher up and said she would go through all my notes and get back to me cause she needed to get to the bottom of this. Their representative put this Buyer's Remorse through. Well they don't care.

    Got the phone back through mail it said Oct.29, now nov.b2 it was sent right back cause past buyers remorse date the lady had said. In this conversation she could not tell me where the phone was sent to. They could not provide me with a address. That was last week Thursday and no phone call, no adjustments to my bill. No answers. Not even the $ 350 off my bill from the loner phone being sent back (same day). What am I supposed to do now? I am getting nowhere and $1800 is not ok.

Mistakes do happen BUT it was the lack of support for a mistake on their end that was frustrating. As a small business where people call to make appointments not having a phone is extremely problematic. In one month we had around a full week with no phone. We had to call frequently contact on social media, for anything to be done and even then it took a couple days.

    We have been a Bell Mobility client since 2015. We had to pay over $520+tax for a total of 9 GB of data overage and fees. I'm a mental health worker on a university corp EPP plan (6GB, 250 min, 3 yrs term at $62+). Bell did not send us any alerts, texts, warning of any kind about data overage. I did not get mailed invoices due to COVID lockdowns while we’re working remotely. They called us in June after 6 months of data overage started. Bell claims $50 for 1 GB of extra data is one of the lowest in the market and they even sent us a link to show their current rates! $50 for 1 GB of data might be OK 10 years ago but in 2021, it does not seem right. Many companies ask for a fraction of it for extra GB of data, if not they either eliminated overage charges or slow down the speed if there is excessive usage esp. during pandemic.

    We spent hours, weeks to get a reasonable resolution and they did not increase their initial adjustment offer of $180+. The worse thing was their attitude; they kept saying that "you utilized it and you had to pay" while ignoring our complaints about the rate and their lack of courtesy to alert their clients. Bell reported the contractual pricing we have with university was expired in 2016 (University probably did not want to renew). Bell even advised us to connect with the university to negotiate special pricing with Bell, which seems to me that Bell attempted to use their clients as a tool to renew their contract. We have multiple lines in 3 countries and they send courtesy alerts if there is a limit on data in advance. We had to file a complaint with both CCTS and BBB, hope they will help. I'm looking forward to complete 3 years contract, yes 3 years despite CRTC ruling of max two. We currently have 4 Bell services, NO, I'd not recommend Bell mobility.

He was very professional and I thanked him for being honest and called Bell Canada immediately to cancel my entire order. I was told that THEIR SYSTEM could not cancel the mobile along with the other components and that I would have to call Bell Mobility to do that.

    This is for all small business holders. I have 2 Business phone lines with Bell - 2-year contract. The first year the network was good and then toward the end of my contract, I noticed drop calls and calls going directly to my VM. Initially, I did not think of it much. But when I started losing business I immediately called Bell. Here's how the grandfather company works. CS immediately registers the issue and informs the Tech team will reach you soon. They never reach you. They just close the ticket and this has happened on multiple occasions. Anyone familiar with call centers. This is what they do to achieve your SLA. So they just close the account and do not call you EVER.

    Sep 18th 2021 I follow up. They mentioned there has been a Network outage in my area and they are working on it. They cannot confirm when it will be fixed but just to shut me down they transfer me to the Loyalty team and they will waive one month's bill. I have been calling for 4 months on this. Tech team transfers me to the loyalty team. Agent Mark suggests to me. If your network is not working please use other services or tools, which would be WhatsApp or skype calls. This caught me off guard. I pay for high monthly SMB bills to be told to use other services or applications.

    I was asked to be transferred to Manager. Finally, I got a call from Rachel ID **. She had no clue why she was calling me. She did not even read the file. Finally after 2 hours of being on call. I am still made to believe - hang in tight but we are unable to help with the outage. This outage has been going on for weeks. If any of you have a similar issue and want to team up to take it legally. I lost almost 14k worth of business due to BELL drop calls.

    Where do I even start? Accusing me of stealing a loaner phone that I dropped off and charging me $500 for it (even though it was only worth $200)? Cancelling services without my authorization? Refusing to port my number after I left them? Continuing to try and bill me after I’ve already left? Leaving me on hold for 2 hours only to hang up on me without ever uttering a word? Pick literally ANY other provider. As someone who has used most of the ones available in Canada, I can say with absolute certainty that getting into a contract with Bell is a horrible idea.

    Upgraded to a new cellular phone January 2021. Signed contract for 17.75 a month. Upgraded at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart rep phones me after I'm home, says they can't honour the price they've made a mistake. I said too bad. Contract is signed. Get the first bill from Bell, now 27.75 a month for device. They won't honour the contract. Absolutely horrible treatment for 12 years of loyalty. Koodo gets my business next time around.

    My internet went down couple of days ago and I contacted Bell numerous times and my first response was it will be fixed at the end of the day. With my second call it extended itself to tomorrow and with my third call it extended itself to one week. Giving the circumstances that I'm in WFH is a crucial thing for my household since going to office is not an option and my workplace is expecting me to deliver my work ASAP and Bell gave me a response of it's an OUTAGE which is weird because my friends who is living in the same building using the same provider and same fiber internet is doing all right. I liked their service but with one issue my review of Bell is totally changed. Let me add to they are not even promising that it will be even in a week.

    I’ve had nothing but trouble with the tv package. First, their VIP2262 PVR receiver keeps freezing. Switched it out and still doesn’t work. Has numerous tickets opened up and still problem not resolved. Sadly I’m stuck with a three year contract. Tried to switch to residential service but cost much higher. They would not exchange same package at same price.

    Business phone stinks. My voice mail got turned off by mistake. When the phone rang the required number of times a message came on saying phone number no longer in service. Not good for my business. Took well over a week to fix. And once it was fixed *98 no longer worked to retrieve messages. Have to dial a 1-877 number and input a bunch of numbers. Going back to Shaw as soon as contract ends. I may even pay the penalty just to get rid of all this grief.

    Take a look at Bell's rating on TrustPilot, it has a 1.2 rating and that's what it should be here too. I wish I could give this a 0 star because HOLY COW. Don't get home internet with Bell. I have to spend like 30 minutes on the phone with them everyday just to get my internet back on. In the call they make me run some speed tests (which I get 90% less than what I pay for) and then boom they fix something on their end. I wish the thing I pay for can just work. In the last month, I've called them 2 times every week. I've had better experience with Rogers, but if there's any recommendations, let us all know. Please.

    I have a fibre op bundle, TV, Phone and Internet. Bell Aliant sucks you in for a "fixed" price be it a year or two or three; and then an increase occurs during the year, usually $10.00 or sometimes more often. Fine print (very fine) states that Bell Aliant can raise prices if... (pick a reason). At the end of the contract, when advising them about one's intention shop elsewhere, lo and behold prices drop to get you to sign another one, two or three "fixed price". Mind, the other main provider is very similar.

    Since November 1, 2020 I am on a $75.00 month to month plan with Bell Mobility as I supply my own phone. When I signed up for this plan, I am offered a discount of $5.00 per month for 12 months so I will pay $70.00 + HST each month. About 2 months ago, I get a notice from Bell that my monthly rate is going up by $5.00 per month so now I will have to pay $75.00 per month plus HST. Bell is notorious for pulling off these surprise increases. Needless to say, I am pissed off so I call them and complain & I am basically told that that there is nothing they can do. Eventually they put me on a shared data plan for $75.00 per month + HST but no $5.00 discount per month.

    I call Bell yesterday & get this CSR who is trying to push me to sign up for other Bell services EVEN AFTER I TELL HER THAT I AM NOT INTERESTED. I tell her that I want to speak directly with the Loyalty department. She then decides that she will call the loyalty dept herself & she will act as the intermediary and relay to me what the loyalty rep says to her. I am beyond pissed and tell her to CONNECT ME DIRECTLY TO A LOYALTY REP. The CSR finally does this and the loyalty rep tells me that there is nothing that she can do so I hang up as this is a complete waste of my time. We are overcharged by the big 3 for cellular service & the CRTC does absolutely nothing to stop the incessant nickel & diming increases that we get from these Telcos like Bell Canada.

    This is nothing new with Bell Canada. Years ago I got a bill from them telling me that I owed them about $1500. I called them to dispute the bill but was told that I was billed for a breach in a contract. So I responded by saying that I didn't have a contract with them. They told me that sometime back that I agreed to a contract so I asked how was that possible since I never signed anything and I was a loyal customer for decades. They asked me if I remember receiving a phone call asking me if I would like to save money on my bill? I told them I didn't remember any call but even if I did how is that a contract?

    They were upset with me because I stopped their service and went somewhere else and if I cancelled within the first year of my discount then I would be off the hook. So if you verbally say yes to being asked if you want to save money you automatically are in a binding contract. That's dishonest and deceptive when you're not told openly what you're getting into. I'll never do business with Bell again EVER!

    I bought an iPhoneXR from Bell 2 years ago under a 2 years plan. I paid $450 in security deposit which the representative said will be credited to my account once I end the contract. I confirmed it 2 months ago while chatting with an agent again, who told me that I have a remaining balance of $150, once I pay that I will get the $450 security deposit back as a credit to my account and I may use that credit pay the future bills. I decided to hold on and continue with the contact. Today I got to know that only $72 was the outstanding balance so I thought let’s pay it and end the contract but the agent told me in order to get access to my deposit I will have to make 6 consecutive bill payments without getting late. Which is ridiculous, even if I pay the rest of the amount and end the contract, I still can’t use that money? What If I do not wish to continue getting service from Bell after I end the contract?

    Bell Canada’s representatives gives you information based on their knowledge and they don’t have much of it. One of the representatives will give you totally different information than the other. Even today while chatting with one of them, he changed his response (for the same question) 2 times. On top of that, Bell Canada has worst data plans ever. I have 10gb “unlimited” data plan and I am paying $140 after taxes. After 10gb I get 3g internet speed which is not even work as fast as 3g is supposed to be. You can’t even open your banking app and log into it, that’s how fast their 3g is. If you are reading this before buying a bell product, I suggest you stay away and go with a provider who doesn’t rip off their customers and feed lies to them and deceive them.

    If there is one word to describe this company, it would be unprofessional. I am totally ready to take legal action with the lawyer I have contacted to proceed with suing the company for the act of fraud. Before I justify the reasoning behind my review, I would first like to explain to you my initial phone plan. For almost three years I paid about $150 a month for 20gb of data shared amongst three phones, and unlimited Canada calling and texting. However about three months ago (December 2020) I called Bell customer service and asked them if they had any promotions for the newly released Iphone 12 pro max. This is because I was looking for a new phone to replace my older Iphone 6.

    The representative I was speaking assured me that since I had been with Bell for such a long time, they could offer me the exact same plan of 20gb shared data amongst three phone, with an addition to an 256gb Iphone 12 pro max (under a 2 year contract) for only an additional $8 a month. Right from the second I heard this I knew it was too good to be true. There was nowhere in this world where you could get the newest Iphone this cheaply. For this reason, I confirmed with the customer service representative over three times the EXACT amount I was going to be charged for the addition of this new phone. She kept responding by saying $158, which is precisely a $8 increase from my previous monthly bill. I hung up the phone exceptionally impressed and satisfied with the deal I had made. However my satisfaction was short lived.

    Later, when I opened my inbox to pay for my bills, I noticed that Bell had charged me a total of $334. At first, I wasn’t concerned because after all those times I confirmed with the customer representative my bill in December 2020, I thought it was surely just a mix up. But when I called the customer service for the correction of my bill, they responded by saying that there was in fact no mix up and that $334 a month was the actual amount I was entitled to pay for my phone plan.

    At this moment I realized that I had been unprofessionally scammed by the previous customer service representative that I talked to in December 2020. I tried explaining to the new customer service representative that I had repeatedly confirmed my bill to be only $158. The customer service simply denied it and said that the system states that by bill is subject to be $334. It finally came to my realization that I had been falsely scammed by the company Bell. I would’ve never initially accept to pay $334 a month for a new phone, and now I am apparently supposed to pay this amount due to an untrained, unqualified and fraud Bell customer service representative who tricked me into believing that I would get the latest iphone for $158 a month which is only an addition of $8 from my previous bill.

    I have told Bell customer service to review their recording of my conversation in December 2020 with the customer service representative, and simply count for themselves the number of times I confirmed the amount of $158 a month with the representative. They’ve told me that they will review the conversation and call me back. However I must say that I have contacted a lawyer for legal advice and assistance, and we are both waiting on the response from Bell to decide whether we should commence a statement of claim in order to proceed with suing the company for fraud.

    Bell sold me a $70 fibe 50 bundle for a year and I received a confusing quote but the agent explained me that it is still $70 for a year.. When I got the 1st bill it was $112. When checked via chat they told me it will be $70 from next bill...but now they say it will be $112 because I signed up for it quoting the initial quote. Looks like a trap for new customers so please ask for proper statement saying what the final amount you need to pay and don't blindly believe in their quote breakup. Trust me.

Forget it they are going to steal you at the end of $ 5 and $ 20 without you realizing it. Do not trust their system and especially the salesperson in the store who hides a lot of things from you on the so-called 2-year discounts. They don't tell you that an $ 8 expires in a year, or that a $ 15 expires in three months. He sings to you you pay that for 2 years. This is very wrong.

Each time when you connect with an agent, they will come up with a crap reason either by saying my data usage has exceeded or sometimes saying there is some issue with my phone and when I confront that my spare sim with data is working fine they changed their statement and told my sim card is damaged and upon advising I even went to one of the bell store in the mid of this lockdown and once that also didnt work when I contacted the customer service they came up with a new reason that is more ridiculous that my data usage is over and they can see I have consumed my entire data of 1 GB at 4.am of the subsequent day of my recharge day.
