    We were offered a $150 prepaid Visa for signing up and keeping new services. We didn't receive the card so I called four different times. Finally someone called me back to say that although we do qualify for the card they couldn't give it to us because of something the clerk did when they placed the order. The ridiculous person from Bell offered a $150 credit on the account. I told her to go ahead and give me the credit but I would be canceling as soon as it was used up due to their unscrupulous practices. I checked the email they sent and they actually only credited $132.75. Such a terrible company! Do not waste your money with this joke of a company!

    We had to cancel our services because we were moving out of province and Bell services weren’t available at our new location. I called a month prior to the move to have all of the hardware returned before our moving date. They sent me an email with the information of the devices that needed to be returned. Following their instructions, I returned the hardware that they had provided me.

    Once in our new home (3000KM) away, I contacted Bell to make sure they had received all the equipment necessary and then they advised me that the modem needed to be returned otherwise I’d be charged for the cost of the unit. Nothing was ever provided to me prior to moving, advising me that this modem needed to be returned. After talking to two different Bell customer service representatives and getting no help, I asked to speak to a manager to get to the bottom of this.

    Jason (manager) gave me the same run around and was even more blunt than the customer reps. Instead of being helpful Jason told me that it’s common knowledge that I should of returned the modem along with the two receivers. Even though nothing was ever provided to me stating that this needed to be returned. I made numerous attempts to explain to him that I was 3000km away from the old house and had no way of getting into the home to retrieve the modem.

    The only option given to me was to figure out a way to return the modem or else I’d be charged the value of the device. Pretty ridiculous that it’s my problem that I wasn’t provided with the adequate information and that it’s my responsibility to figure out a way of returning this modem from across the country. Bell does not take any accountability for their mistakes nor do they offer any options to assist the customer. Instead they point the finger at the customer and state that we should have known better! I wouldn’t recommend Bell to ANYONE!

    I was told a promotional offer was valid indefinitely if I signed up at $45/month for internet in my building. I asked the sales rep repeatedly if the cost would increase at a certain point and I was assured it would not. Six months later my bill is now $118 and Bell says there is nothing they can do to help.

    I moved from rural Manitoba to the city of Winnipeg and changed TV from satellite to fiber, added internet and also move three cell phones from One Bill Bell to One Bill Bell/MTS. I called Bell and advised what I wanted and was advised no problem and received an install date, disconnection date and amount I would be billed. Was connected in City on date promised but all else never happened. After numerous and hours and hours on phone to numerous Bell, Canada Employees were finally promised an email to what they were going to do to resolve my concerns, which again never happened.

    Each time you talk to a Bell or Bell/MTS employee it's like the first time you are calling. Employee advises you what they are going to do but it never happens and you have no record because they do not email you their response so you have no proof of what they promise. Even when we agreed on price and product Bell Canada would not send you an email. On a side note, I have had a thousand times more dropped calls with Bell than I ever had with Rogers or Telus.

    They told me I get 7 GB of data with a lower price than my current plan so that I wouldn't cancel my plan with them for another company that was offering that. So obviously, I was getting charged for going over my data since they didn't tell me how much I was actually getting. Every time I talk to them they have a different reason for how that happened. Of course, according to them, it's my fault I don't examine my bill every month to make sure my plan hasn't changed. They were very unapologetic and argumentative. It did not seem like they were wanting to resolve the issue at all (and they haven't- except for their attempt to sell me another plan). I've been with them for 10 years but am changing providers as soon as possible.

    We recently reviewed our bill and found that we were being billed for lines that we had not used in a few years. So we called the 310Bell and were bounced around for 4 and a half hours. Finally they decided we were a "Concierge account" and we had to email that department. We quickly received an auto email stating someone would contact us. No one ever did so we contacted another provider and had the one number that we actually used ported over to another provider. And Bell sent us a $2229.09 cancellation fee. We called the billing department and according to them we had a contract.

    The contract was an Email sent to a secretary two years ago. So again I sent a note to the Concierge department asking for someone to explain and other than an auto reply no one bothered to call us back. We would have stayed with Bell had they not been so hard to deal with. If the rest of Bell Canada was as efficient as their billing department they would have a much more profitable telecom department.

    Switched to Bell Fibre Op in 2014, 24 month premium plan, $159.00 a month. Within 1 year. increased to $179 a month. In 2016 started having numerous technical problems. Customer service was amazing, always offered me a discount (free movie) for our troubles. In 2017 plan went from $189 to $239, contacted loyalty agent with my plans to discontinue service. Was offered a 2 year plan, $196 a month. At that time was given customer employee number and promotional code, was informed that in September 2019 promotion would be extended for 24 more months. In the last year we had a back up battery go dead, fee was $40, two remotes went bad, $30 each. Almost every bill was over charged, nauseating process to communicate and resolve issues. Received last bill, increased to $269 per month.

    Contacted loyalty program, 3 times. I am not a valued customer. Can not believe that Bell trains these customer service representatives to lie so blatantly. 3 different customer service personnel, 3 fabrications of why my service had increased. Final conversation, Bell a multi billion dollar corporation was willing to remove $22 monthly but I lost 3 theme packs of programming which basically left us with the garbage that we would never watch. I hope others are not gullible enough to tolerate these con artists. Have now had to arrange to go with another provider (promotional package that is acceptable), the hassle of returning all Bell components myself, obtain receipts, all serial numbers and accessories so that I don't receive a staggering bill for something Bell will claim I never returned. Can't believe that I went from a 5 star provider to what I now consider despicable.

    Thursday, 2019/10/17 EDT 1724 hrs. You need Government issued photo ID with an ADDRESS to get a cellular account, not only with Bell Mobility, but every cell phone provider. The fact you require Government issued identification with an address works heavily in my favour. Bell Mobility sent me a phone bill, only problem with that they addressed it to an alias I used among my social circle and with acquaintances, and the bill was sent to an ADDRESS I no longer had affiliations with. Only very few knew my LEGAL name such as Government organizations.

    I argued with Bell Mobility fraud centre telling them I did NOT start the account and that everyone knows me by my alias, and threw their own rules in their face reminding them that you need GOVERNMENT ISSUED PHOTO IDENTIFICATION to get a cellular account with them, they then changed their tune and said: 'Well, the account was started with your Social Insurance Number.' Even better. A SIN number? Anyone can use one's SIN, that's why Bell Mobility's strict policy of

    GOVERNMENT Issued Photo IDENTIFICATION. Geez, I know my best friend's SIN, that's certainly NOT going to get me a cellular account, I'll see Bell in court.

    Bell Canada is disgusting. They built walls everywhere. They claim privacy. The government needs to step in. They sold me a two year package and started raising my price in 3 months. I filed a complaint with CCTS and encourage everyone to do the same. Record every call you make to them and don’t disclose until the end of the conversation. Especially record your first call if you're calling as a new customer. I was with a Rogers for years and hated them but Bell Canada is revolting. Stay away. I encourage everyone. Stay away.

    I have been a customer of Bell Canada for over 35 years. I found now that I no longer required their services as I find myself rarely home. It has been a nightmare ever since. I received my bill Aug. 9 to Sept. 9 so I cancelled as of Sept. 9. They bill me for Sept. to October and tell me that I have to pay that bill in full or they will send the account to collection. Like WTF! I called them and explained that I would wait for my credit and pay my final bill. Then I find out that they are calling my father who has nothing to do with my account. I call them and they tell me they will put a block on my father's number. We are no way connected. Doesn't my 80 year old father get 8 more phone calls in 48 hours at all times of the day and night.

    I called them again and they assured me that it would not happen again. **. 2 more days of phone calls. I then get my supposedly final bill and it is all wrong. They are telling me that I cancelled the 23rd when I cancelled the 9th and I have the letter to prove it. Then they tell me they will issue the remaining credit next month. Are they crazy! I ask for a manager and was put on hold for 1 hour to be told there was no manager available and they would transfer me somewhere else where I was put on hold for another 45 minutes. I finally hung up.

    Their service is absolutely horrible and after 35 years you think that I would be treated with respect. What a horrible place and I am so thankful that I cancelled my services and took whatever services I needed with Videotron! I will not pay them a dime or return their equipment till I have a proper bill. I have been in customer service for over 30 years and would never think of treating anyone like this. I will never recommend BELL CANADA to anyone!

    Switched From Bell to Primus in August and was surprised when a bell technician came to install Primus modem. He did his job, took our Bell modem to the office and said my Bell service will be cancelled. I asked him if I should call to cancel it but he assured me that he's done that when he dropped the modem off. As he was a Bell employee, I trusted that it's been taken care of. I also received an email that the modem was successfully returned. In October however I got a bill from Bell and called customer service to find out why I got billed. Spoke with Kyle on October 7 who was very good at arguing and proving me wrong saying that I didn't bother to call to cancel their service and that the returned modem doesn't mean your service is cancelled.

    When I tried to explain him that it was their Bell employee who came to install our Primus and he assured me that I did not need to call, that he did it for us when he dropped the modem off. Kyle interrupted me and said that Bell has nothing to do with offer internet companies. He spoke to me in a blaming tone, constantly interrupted and just rubbing in how I am wrong and have to pay for the service I didn't get only because I trusted their own employee. I ended up hanging up on him as he wasn't listening.

    So Kyle, you should know that the customer is always right. Here is a Primus phone# 1888 958 7921 for you to call to learn that yes, Primus is hiring Bell technicians to install their equipment. And you need to learn to listen, you are there to help not to polish your arguing skills. As I told you on the phone I will not pay this bill, so if you want to justify crediting it, investigate. You have enough information now in writing.

    A phone was advertised on their website for a specific price with a specific plan. I checked all small print and no mention of any other fees, or any opportunity to suggest that what was advertised would not be honoured. I spoke to 3 different representatives, all of them tried every possible way to weasel out of what their page very clearly advertised. Two of them ended up agreeing that yes, they would in fact have to honor what was advertised. I was told that I would be contacted after they received approval from a manager.

    No one contacted me, the final person that I contacted told me that they didn't have to honour what was advertised because they have small print somewhere apparently (couldn't find it) that says that they're not obligated to deliver what they advertise. This of course is total BS and I will be reporting them if I can find who you report this kind of thing to! Extremely shady of Bell, will suggest to all of my acquaintances that they do not work with Bell.

    I have been having an issue with my Bell modem. I have been attempting to contact bell for support the following is my experience:

    1. Called - wait time 1/2 hour or I put number for call back - waited 1 hour 3 minutes then system hung up on me without speaking to a person.

    2. Called immediately after - wait time 1/2 hour to 1 hour - I had nothing to do and cell has a speaker so... waited 1 hour 3 minutes then system hung up on me without speaking to a person.

    3. Figured I call back and use the option to leave my number and get a call back. The option was not offered this time but wait time is now approximately 3 minutes! Wait on for 20 minutes and decide to hang up myself and try to use the leave your number option again.

    4. Again no option to leave a number for call back and estimated wait time is 15 to 20 minutes.

    I’m still on call 4 right now. It has been 17 minutes. Let’s see what happens. It is right now 3:14pm on October 5th, 2019 in Ontario. I am giving 2 stars instead of 1 because it is not the technical assistance department that has chosen to reduce the staffing but the officers of the corporation. 3:17 now 19 minutes of the 15 to 20. Let’s see what happens. 3:20 now - 22 minutes 30 seconds. At least has Bell appreciated my patience for the last 3 hours while I listen to the same repeating “pop” style songs over and over again. 3:24 now. Better plug in my phone is at 15%. 3:26 now - 28 minutes of the 15 to 20 minute wait time and nearly into the 4th hour of trying to get through to bell. Phone plugged in and wireless Beats in - figure I’d clean up some outside as I don’t see any reason to be close to the phone but I will continue to update.

    Well 2:52pm now 8 minutes until the system hangs up on me again. 1 hour now of being hold in an appropriate 15 to 20 minutes TIL the first human answers the phone, 3 minutes til expected cut off. 1 hr 2 minutes- t minus 1 minute. ? 1 hour 3 minutes 30 seconds and no disconnect. Sound changed and someone picked up before 1 hour 4 minutes. He was helpful but the fact that it took 3 1/2 hours to get through is extremely frustrating.

    I had had Bell services for well over 4 years, mostly because I never really cared to complain. Every few months cable and internet would be down for a couple days with no reimbursement for downtime from Bell. Then a couple months ago, the cable services went out and no one could fix it for 1.5 months. Most recently I moved cities and called 2 weeks in advance to move my services and make an appointment for the reactivation of my services at my new home. It took over 3 different people to come in and tell me they couldn't do the job as someone else had to figure out wiring, connecting and so forth. One of the technicians actually left wires sticking out of my wall and neglected to put them back when he realized he also wouldn't be able to complete the job.

    A week and a half later, they still couldn't get the appropriate person in and failed to tell me in advance that they would need access to the apartment beneath me, thinking I could get access instantly. Tired of not having any services, I decided to cancel and move to another provider. This was all before August 4th. We are now in October and I'm still paying bills of services I did not even receive.

    This is the worst company I have every dealt with since I have been here on earth. I don’t think they really know how to run a business and some of the staff they have working for them don’t know what they’re doing. It’s very rare you get someone who understands what you are asking of them. Sometimes they put you through six or seven staff before you get the help you need and sometimes the problem is not solved.

    My husband ordered a internet modem from Bell. The modem arrived and the technician was suppose to come and set it up on the 27th of September. They didn’t call and they didn’t show up after speaking with them three times that day in which they said the person will come to connect the modem from 8am to 5pm and another one said from 8am to 8pm but sit home all day waiting and no one shows up. I think that was very unprofessional of a huge company like that. They don’t really know how to treat their customers. I think they do this to people because they know that most people don’t have other company to go to. Right now we are stuck with a modem and no one to connect it. Shame, shame on you Bell.

    We returned to Bell in early spring of 2019, after leaving for previously due to poor service, hoping that Bell had resolved its issues. Unfortunately, they haven’t. By June of 2019, we were experiencing frequent internet drops and the additional receivers wouldn’t show recorded programs off the PVR. In addition to this, we couldn’t use the On Demand feature as opening it would cause the whole system to crash. Customer support made several suggestions that always involved us doing technical things that were hard to understand; this even included sending new equipment and instructing us to install it rather than sending a tech out to us.

    Nothing worked and in early July, we cancelled despite the intimidating cancellation fee. Realistically, what would be the point of paying $200 a month for something that didn’t work. Within two weeks of cancelling, my credit card was debited over $1,000 for non-return of rental equipment. I called as soon as I noticed this and was told I’d be refunded by cheque. On September 10, I received an email from Bell indicating that a case manager would call within 48 hrs to resolve this issue. No call was received.

    When I called Bell today (Sept 6, 2019) and spoke to accounting, they said that only a Case Manager can refund the remaining amount. When I asked to speak with one, the representative said that there’s no way the public can access Case Managers. After several email confirmations from an actual Case Manager, that I would be receiving a refund, to date (Sept 26, 2019), I’ve only received $145.92 of it. This company is an absolute nightmare to deal with when you experience any technical issues with their service or accounting and I deeply regret that I went back to them.

    I have been Bell Canada cellular Network customer for more than 8 years. I have 3 phones with them but one phone has one year lagging renewal date as it was added to my plan one year later. All three phones have a 5 GB data sharing which is billed as extra $35 to our plan + $50x3= $150 a month for lines or $185 for 3 phones.

    A line which has lagging renewal was due for renewal. Bell said it is not honoring its plan and I have to pay 75 per phone. I tried to explain to the attendant and later to his supervisor that I have a signed and accepted plan with them but he was not listening to me and repeating that, "$50/phone is not honored on our network." I did not renew the phone with them and will opt out other 2 phones. Other companies are giving much better and cheaper plans so I recommend everyone to get out of Bell plans and let this oppressing US company die like as deserve. Please read other bad reviews before opting in or renewing your plans. Bell Canada has no loyalty towards Canadian customers.

    I have been with Bell for a while. The quality of service is average, but was enough for what I needed. My problem was with how they increase their prices gradually and because I have a busy life (who doesn't), I don't have time to keep calling every couple of months to adjust the price. I was fed up once, so called to cancel, let's not talk about how horrible that went, but I asked specifically about when is best time to cancel so I do not get charged for another bill. I was given a date and did cancel on that time. Surprise, got another bill!

    When I called to ask about it, it seems that they cancelled all credits that was given to me on the previous month (?punishment) and charged me for that! That was never explained to me when I cancelled! They tell you what they want, but do not tell you important information (especially when it comes to taking more money). When you call them, they are not apologetic, and sound indifferent! I do NOT recommend them. A lot of other providers are available with better prices and better customer service!

    Bell MTS has consistently called me about a “bill” I didn’t pay when I switched over to TELUS. They never made me aware of this. I never signed a contract to begin with. Then they didn’t even call me personally or send me anything in the mail. Instead they sent it to collections services. Which has been very difficult to deal with. I have no idea what I’m paying for and they won’t send me anything in the mail to show me proof of where and what I owe. When I switched over to Telus, I paid my last bill and made sure everything was in the clear. Apparently it wasn’t which I was never made aware of.

    So now this is going to be on my record, and it’s not even my fault. When I agreed to pay I was put on hold multiple times and they couldn’t reach the proper department. They have the absolute worst customer service, they are very rude and demanding, And don’t listen to what you have to say. I would give Bell MTS a zero star rating for all their terrible services. I will never pick Bell ever again, and I suggest you do the same.

    When I wanted to get a new iPhone for work, I opted to give Bell a try. When I was making the purchase, I asked if I could get Apple care. The rep said "Absolutely, I can add the insurance for $13/month". 21 months later, I have dropped my phone and was relieved to know I had Apple care and could cheaply replace the phone. It turns out, that the rep mislead me. Bell has no ability to offer Apple Care, and instead set me up with their own 3rd party insurance which has a big $250 deductible to make a claim. So I have been paying $13/month for 21 months, to not get the service I explicitly asked for, and now am stuck with the option of effectively losing money on the phone if I want to fix it. Naturally, their loyalty department simply said, "There's nothing we can do about it, it is what it is". I will be paying off the $93 device balance, and moving to a company that does not allow its representatives to mislead customers and then do nothing to help.

You have to deal with rude stupid overseas customers service who are incompetent and frankly do not listen to customers' concerns.

    Have been a Bell customer for decades! Used to be reliable but has become worse and worse for service. Finally leaving them after dwindling to just basic internet and yet they can’t ‘win’ me back! So I quit on July 7 owing only 1 week but was advised to pay my whole bill and they would refund the difference. Did so it would not affect my credit rating!! And no I have not received my refund yet!! Today’s (Sept 9) ETA according to “customer escalation” rep is 3-4 weeks.

    Not much choice here reading other reviews. Pay your entire bill knowing it will be months before it is resolved OR get a bad credit score. I am giving Bell a bad credit score as they’ve owed me for months now and waiting. Obviously no longer a loyal customer. Will not return unless there is no other option for anyone of the services.

    There was a deal at Costco two years ago where and you got iPhones 6S and a lot of other perks like gift cards etc etc and then you got to pick your provider. We had been with Shaw for years and the people around the kiosk when we said Shaw oohed so we asked them who they thought would be the best provider and a couple of them said Bell so we thought we would try Bell. What a mistake.

    For two years almost every month I would have to phone Bell and get them to correct our bills. They were charging us for data that we never used. Etc etc etc etc. We winter in Arizona from November to April so we got monthly travel packs at an extra charge of 40.00 each phone per month. Then we are home in Canada talking to friends and they are talking about how other phone plans have plans that include Canada and the United States for $95 a month. Not once did anybody at Bell tell us that we could change our plan to the $95 a month instead of paying our plan cost PLUS the $40 travel packs for five months out of the year. We have now changed providers and are hoping we don’t run into the same problem.

What is the purpose of customer service if they do nothing for you over the phone?!!! I was at the boutique for 3 hours and don’t want to have that experience ever again! The guy had no idea what he was doing and had to keep going in the back to speak to another guy who was more interested in talking in the phone with his girlfriend then coming out in the front to help.

    I was the only customer in the store with my elderly mother - 3 hours later we walked out with what I thought was the phones and plans I had asked for. My bill states differently and now I have to return to the store to sort it out because the call in customer service can’t help me! Really?

    Trust your instincts. Should never have switched to Bell. It's only been 4 months and they have yet to get a bill right. They are almost double than what they should be and they didn't even set it up properly. I was told I didn't need new phones... I did. They didn't roll over as they should. The installer got sawdust and insulation on my web firebox and burnt that out. I even got my tech team to check over the deal because I knew people hate Bell.

    I have contacted Bell probably over 10 times now and nothing ever goes how they say. Departments don't talk to each other. You have to get reference #s to give to billing for investigations yourself or they will keep calling. I was given wrong reference #s, wrong employee #s making it impossible to get the same person. Every time you call you have to say your problem again. I was on hold for 15 mins before speaking with someone who also said they are not allowed to communicate in writing or fix my billing issues.

    Still waiting to get this resolved although I will be cancelling the service I have spent probably a good 2 days total of my work time dealing with them and won't get reimbursed for that either. All I can say is trust your instinct and do not let Bell big business push you around. I am usually an understanding person but when a company keeps lying and trying to find new ways to charge you and they have a bunch of people at a call centre that literally can't do anything or communicate with each other and understanding them is hard, it becomes a NIGHTMARE.

    It's hard to know where to start with this one because the last six days have been complete chaos with this company. I had five separate technicians not show up for separate appointments. I took two days off work to be there for them and then also wasted my weekend at home waiting for their techs after being promised they would be there. I spoke to probably around fifteen different reps in 6 days that were not able to give me answers as to why these technicians were not showing up and no one had called me telling me what's going on. I was constantly lied to, stuck on hold, and transferred around. I wasted 6 days waiting for this company to come and give me services.

    I called them today to ask them why once again they didn't show up today when I was guaranteed this time they would come and again got the runaround. Was told 5 days ago that a manager was going to call me in 30 minutes. Of course this didn't happen. I have never received such appalling customer service especially as a new customer who doesn't even have the service hooked up yet. If this is what I'm dealing with in the beginning, I would hate to see a year from now if I'm having any further difficulties. I can't count how many times I was transferred to different reps with no one being able to tell me anything and giving me false promises.

The technician determined the under wire which they had recently ran were damaged/defective so they ran a temporary wire from a box up the street across my neighbours' property. My neighbours weren't happy but Bell said it would be replaced in less than 2 weeks. After about a month the unreplaced wire was drooping so low that neighbours' kids had to park their SUV on the road. I've called, waited, recalled, waited, been redirected, called and called again.

    I've been told that cable contractors said the job was done and each time I called they sent an email to let them know it wasn't. Supposedly the contractors managers were contacted this was put on high priority. I was supposed to receive a callback to let me know that they're coming.... Weeks later still no callback because of lack of communication to confirm that that my underground wire will be fixed or repair anytime soon. Months later and the temporary wire is seeming more like a permanent wire. Seems like as soon as they've locked you in a contract customer service no longer matters and you'll be placed on the back burners.

    My installation was one week ago and I've had nothing but headaches and have gotten nowhere in getting a resolution. The installer drilled a hole through the wall of my home, severed a power cable and the power went out. The area supervisor came to my home and informed me that it was my problem and they would "try" to come back once I had the power fixed! I called a local company and was very fortunate to be able to arrange a quick repair, in less than one hour my power had been restored. I had to call that area manager and remind him that it was Friday and it was a long weekend, so it was important that he send someone asap because I didn't want to be without phone, tv and internet for the long weekend.

    A technician came to the house and right away we had problems. First, I had asked for 3 tv receivers and he only had 2. Bell promised me that I would be able to keep my phone number (which I've had for 20 years) but he said he had a new number. He was able to get a 3rd tv receiver from his vehicle but the phone number still has not been resolved after one week.

    I then started the process of being reimbursed for the electrical work which was also a big headache. I called Bell several times and about half the time they wouldn't even talk to me because I didn't have an "account number". All I had was an "order number" because I was a new customer, so it was just luck on my part as to whether the person who was on the phone would talk to me or not. I finally ended up sending copies of the electric bill to the area manager and he tells me it will be 5 weeks before I am reimbursed!?!? I should charge them interest for that amount of time!

    I've never experienced such terrible service in my life, and I have definitely seen very poor examples before but this takes the cake. I was with Cogeco before and although I was paying a little more for the same service, I was always happy with the customer service and tech support. I also had to extend my service with Cogeco to keep the phone active which is what Bell told me I had to do in order to allow them to secure the number. I am paying for services from 2 companies now and I am sure Bell won't give me any consideration for that fact. If I had to do it over again, I would have called Cogeco and altered my service or asked for some kind of reduction on the bill. Switching to Bell was a mistake.

I signed up for mobility as well to get a bundle savings along with internet and phone. They tell me afterwards that the bundled savings won't occur until 2 billing cycles. They don't tell you why, but you just have to accept it. After two months into having mobility and internet and Alt TV, they deduct $600+ directly from my account?! They tell me they double charged me by accident. With no regard or empathy I have to pay rent at the end of the month and now I have 600+ dollars deducted on top of it!! What they offer? "We will send you the money by cheque two weeks later!"

    Next they deduct the wrong amount again from my account because why should I be surprised and I have to discuss again what is wrong as if it wasn't glaring them in the face with my outstanding balance on my bills. I have to add all the charges up with the agent on the phone and they don't add up to the amount due. They offer me a credit for next months bill. Fine. The whole point is to have a company do their job and needlessly make it my mission to call out them on their systems issues. When they are in the wrong they should be working tirelessly to repair the harm done. Instead I'm pleading a case on the phone. Absolutely atrocious billing system and customer satisfaction.

    Commercials are right when they advertise hidden charges. Bell is the supreme being of hidden charges and what's more they will say it's because we changed our rates. HUH? Oh I didn't feel like paying the full amount this month no justification, would that work if I told them that? Hell no. Telecom companies already charge us so much and yet they deliver the worst experience when dealing with them. They can't even justify the amount they charge. Just frustrating.

    I was a customer of Bell for 10 years. Last summer we moved to an apartment on a temporary basis for 2 months. We installed phone, internet and TV transferred from our prior address to the apartment. We were there for 2 months. During this time the internet worked about 60% of the time and the TV worked about 40% of the time. When we moved out we cancelled our service with Bell. A month later I get a charge of $150.00 cancellation fee which I immediately called them about. The person I spoke to assured me the charge would be reversed and nothing further was owed since I paid off my last bill. A YEAR LATER!!!! I get notified I was sent to collections for non-payment and it is now affecting my credit score. I am so upset and appalled at this company. I'm still dealing with them to have things corrected!! WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!

    I pay for Mobile phone service for our son, who struggles with mental illness, so I can be sure he can contact help when he needs it. Recently his iPhone stopped working and I suggested he call Bell to see what they would do, since he had been a customer for quite a while. They talked him into a plan buying a new iPhone, and doubled his monthly cost.. Then they charged him for data overages which never happened with his prior plan, and when he phoned to tell them to just cut the data availability if he ran out, they talked him into upping the Gigabytes of data, and then STILL charged him for overages. When he called AGAIN to remind them of the previous promise to cut his data if he ran out, they STILL charged him and then charged $10 for doing what they should have done to start.

    They WILL NOT talk to me, in spite of the fact that I pay for the service, and continue to victimize this man. He is on ODSP, unable to work, and unable to be spending the huge bills these robbers hit him with, and I get to pick up the slack.

    I have been with Bell for over 10 years. In last 3 years I have to call them every 3 months regarding price increase. I feel like a beggar. Not a valued customer. I had to cancel one of my services because simply I couldn't afford it. To my surprise my bill was almost the same for 3 months without TV services (not less). I call them every month since then, and they always promised some credits. Then my bill jump like never before. I try to reason with them and asked for any logic, in the response they were trying to sell me TV services again, and cut on the speed of the internet, reduce functions on the phone in order to reduce the cost. Enough is enough. Time to drop Bell for good. There is no reason to pay $156 plus tax for internet and phone, this is insane. I encourage more people to boycott those overpriced bills.

    Bell Canada scammed us into upgrading our home internet services. They said, "We want to offer you more service for less money!" We checked. We double-checked. They insisted we will pay no more money, and yet we will get higher internet speed and free TV channels. Fair enough. We said yes. Then we got our bill. We saw we are now paying much more for our Internet service, we are not getting the improved speed they claimed we would, and we are paying $14.95 for the supposed "free" TV channels. When I complained and said I wanted my old plan back, they said that plan no longer exists, and the best they could do is something marginally less expensive than the new scam plan, but for less speed.

    I cancelled absolutely everything I had from Bell: mobility, residential, internet... everything. I don't care about having to change all of my phone numbers or even paying more money. I cannot tolerate scam artists, and I will not support this company. If I had time, I would take them to court. In my opinion, Bell should face criminal fraud charges.

    I’ve been with Bell for three long years, June 2016, having switched from its competitor. What a mistake! The issues began within a month with the internet not working; lines looping around trees for weeks; passwords being accepted for laptop but not iPad; quoting of one price but being billed another. This year, having asked for a reinstatement of services, after a lengthy time period away, it took one week, and many calls to Bell, for phone line, TV and WiFi to begin working. Being without a phone for this length of time is unacceptable. Upon reaching a level 2 personnel, the issue was resolved. This after many calls answering the same questions over and over, to prove who I am.

    Today, I attempted to have my bill explained to me (it seemed $200.00 to high). After being transferred several times, answering those some questions each time, I was disconnected. This is Bell Canada. They do have my number. No attempt was made to reach me! Finally, I started the process again. The representative was extremely professional and attempted to explain the bill to me but had to refer me to Bell Mobility, whereupon she attempted to introduce me to the rep. He grilled her on her name, department, her employee number...

    When he finally got to me, he asked what the problem was. He needed my mobile phone number. Upon receiving it, he said that was not a Bell number. That is when I thanked him, said I was switching to another provider and hung up. You would think Bell Canada would attempt to keep its customers while they are still with the company and not waste time, money and man power attempting to win them back after the fact.

Make sure you get a revision in writing each time you talk to them, and read every word of your contract every time they send it to you. Then make sure the bill matches it. Unfortunately sometimes, you can't even tell when they change things (took one phone off shared data by mistake then charged overage charges!). The tax rate changes each month when they decide which province's phone number they want to base the bill on...and more. I've been very happy with Bell home phone and internet, but the mobility part has been nothing but disastrous. I will be changing again when this contract is up - now that I know how easy it is.

    First I applied through online for Bell Mobility services for two phone line with two new devices. My order was processed and I was advised to pick up my set from store, located at Scarborough Town Center, Toronto, Ontario. I went to pick up my devices. The store associate gave me better offer and created a new order. The order was not approved by security right away and advised that there is a wait time for four hours. I was advised to go back next day. I went next day, again they contacted security department, security dept advised that there is another wait time for another four hours. Both days, security dept rep talked to me and clarified my details. After my third unsuccessful visit, the security rep called me and advised that everything is good. I then got a call from Bell customer service confirming that everything is fine and once I go to store, it should be done quickly.

    When I went to store, the store associate was not cooperative at all, demonstrating a very bad attitude, asked me to wait. When I asked how long should I wait, his response was, "I don't know." I asked, "Is there anyone else who can help me". He was silent. After 30 minutes, I talked to store manager and he advised that, "Sorry we don't have the device that you want" while two days before the store associate promised that my devices and plan will be kept on hold and as soon as security clearance is received, I should be fine to get the device and service immediately. I was little upset, however, store associate and store manager were careless about me and my feelings. I called Bell Contact Center that is located in India, they were pretty much robot and did not provide me any escalation number. I contact via chat line and asked for escalation contact, they also declined that there is no escalation number.

    Bell Canada. What a completely useless, joke of a company. That is really all anyone contemplating using their services needs to know. If that’s you don’t do it. Seriously -- not a good move my friend. The full details of my incredibly frustrating journey with these morons makes for a very long story, so if you are the person who doesn’t want to read the whole thing, no worries at all. Just focus on that opening statement but for those of you who like a good read, here you go.

    With 8 days left in my billing cycle, on April 22nd 2019 (Yes Easter Monday) I was sitting at my desk at work. This is first thing on my Monday morning at approximately 9:45am (MST). I receive a text notification that I have used 95% of my data. My plan includes 12GB of data. I had been on that plan for a year, and with the same iPhone X when I first signed up with Bell. In the entire time I have been with them, I have never used more than 8GB (My normal month was around 6GB) of that 12GB plan in any cycle.

    4 minutes after receiving the 95% notification (9:49am), I received a second notification. This one saying I was now $50 into overage charges and my data had been shut off. I open up my Bell app and take a look. It shows I was at 6.24GB/12GB. I call Bell Customer Service and talk to a fella named Steven. Steven confirms that what I am seeing in my app is accurate, and that he too sees 6.24GB used so far. He tells me they have no record of any notifications going out to me, and that it must be a glitch in their system. He let me know all is good and not to worry about it. He reactivated my data. I gave a sigh of relief, thanked him and carried on with my morning....

    Approximately 1 hour after hanging up with Steven, I receive another text notification stating that I am now at $150 in overage charges. A few minutes later, $250 over. I open up the Bell app, and it now shows that I am more than 1GB over my plan limit. It is now saying I have used 13.38GB/12GB, so I call again. I explain to the rep (I can't recall her name, I was driving at the time) that I had received the notifications earlier, and spoke with Steve who had cleared up my concerns and assured me all is well, etc. She begins to get a very condescending tone with me and tells me I am indeed showing over my limit for the month, and that the reason Steve must not have seen it is because there is a 4-6 hour delay in the reporting for the data in their system.

    She explains however that the 7GB+ of data that pushed me over my limit for the month was actually used the day before (Sunday). I asked her how that is possible since I received the warning that I was at 95% this morning and that an hour before speaking with her it was showing 6.24GB and she just repeated that there is a 4-6 hour delay on the reporting (Which would still be Monday morning). She has no answer and just tells me again I am over my limit and that one of my apps must be using data in the background. She then takes me through some basic troubleshooting. She tells me my Wi-Fi boost must be the cause, and to turn it off.

    I explain that it has been on since I have owned the phone, I haven't downloaded any new apps, and my last app to update was 2 days prior. I haven't changed my habits, I wasn't binge watching HD Youtube videos for hours on end, that I was connected to Wi-Fi while at home with my family Sunday eating Easter dinner and let her know that if she takes a look at my usage history, this is WAY out of the normal range for me.

    I don't think I could use that much data if I was trying! Instead of listening to me, she just repeats that something must be eating the data in the background, and my only options are to pay the overage charges or add 3GB of data for $50 to my account to avoid going that route. I told her I suppose I have no choice then, and so she added the extra 3GB. I asked if my conversation with Steve would have been recorded and she says yes but it will take 24-48 hours to access it. I requested that they do that then and get back to me.

    So another hour goes by and I receive yet another notification saying I am now approaching $500 in overage charges. I open up the Bell app, and it is still showing 13.38GB used. I make a 3rd phone call to Customer Service. I explain the story from the beginning and mention how baffled I am about what is happening. Susan now tells me that she can see I am over my limit and have now actually exceeded the extra 3GB that was added to my account! She tells me it was automatically topped up to an extra 10GB business plan (Cost is $80) and that over 19GB of my now 22GB total plan has been used!

    Apparently while spending my morning on the phone with Bell reps trying to figure this out, I had somehow used another 6GB+ of data in the background. I told her I am now shutting my data off completely because I don't know what is going on. She takes me through the same basic troubleshooting as the rep before and advises that I take my phone to the local Bell store to have a rep there look at it and make sure there isn't anything that is using up all of my data.

    Down at the Bell store, I talk to a very nice guy named Lairen and explain the entire story to him, right up to the point where I came into the store. He mentions some of the same troubleshooting things as the reps on the phone and goes through my device looking for something that might be causing my issue. He fully acknowledges that the amount of data they are saying is being used is A LOT and would be very hard to use in that period of time. He also looks back at my usage history and agrees that this is way out of the ordinary for my usage and that he is doubtful I woke up one day and decided to burn through that kind of data and then be spending my entire Monday talking to reps about it. FINALLY SOMEONE WITH LOGICAL THINKING. He resets my Network settings on the phone and does a soft reset as well.

    Lairen makes a call to another Customer Service rep and goes through the full story that I had explained to him and that there must be something wrong. The rep he spoke with agrees something must be going on either with the reading they are getting from the tower, or with the device itself. She tells me to please turn my data BACK ON and carry on using the phone for the next 24 hours, so that she can put a tracker on my usage and find out more about what is happening. She advises that she will give me a call the next day around the same time to give me further instruction and makes the promise that the overage charges that have accumulated will be taken care of until she has this chance to diagnose the issue. Lairen gets the reps employee number and writes it on a piece of paper for me. Again, I breathe a sigh of relief and thank her and Lairen for helping me out and being reasonable about the situation.

    Tuesday comes and goes, with no phone call back. In the evening, I reset the usage stats on the iPhone so that I can see what it says I am using from that point on and paid for and downloaded 3 third party apps that track data. I wanted to compare what they said vs the Bell app. On Wednesday morning, the usage was at just over 21GB of the 22GB on my plan. Not as bad as the 6GB+ spikes 2 days in a row… but still 2GB used somehow while connected to Wi-Fi 90% of the time. I go back into the Bell Store and speak with Lairen again. I show him the tracking and how the 3 apps I downloaded, and the iPhone stats are showing less than half as much data being used as the Bell app is showing. He acknowledges that this too is very odd, and makes another phone call to a customer service rep.

    He explains the entire story to this rep from the beginning and lets him know that I never heard back from the one that was supposed to call me back to help diagnose the issue. He provides her employee number. This rep explains that he will open another ticket, and to do the same thing that the last rep promised as well as have a Supervisor investigate what happened with the last ticket. Lairen shrugs and apologizes on behalf of Bell. He was also frustrated about the situation and how it wasn’t handled very well. He advised that I should reset my phone to factory settings when I get home and to keep my data off until the start of the next billing cycle to make sure I don’t go over again. So that evening, I spent more than an hour backing everything up and resetting the phone. No call received the next day… I left my data turned off until the end of the month when the cycle ended.

    So, my bill arrives and on it is $280 in data overage charges. I call Bell Customer Service. I explain the situation to the rep who tells me she can’t see any notes on my file saying that the overage charges were going to be waived. She transfers me to a Supervisor. I explain what was going on and give him the employee number of the rep who made the promise to waive the charges. He reads back the notes from each of the now 6 different reps that have heard the story. Each of them simply wrote “I was aware of the overage charges on my account, and will be disputing them” THAT’S IT. No other details… none of the promises made, not the full story… just that.

    I told the 19 year old Supervisor that the promise made by the rep was done on the phone while I was in the local Bell store and that Lairen was a witness to it. He tells me he has no way to contact Lairen… I told him I will go down there right now and have him call him back. Supervisor says he won’t be able to get him again when we call. I asked if there was a separate number or extension for him… He wouldn’t provide one. Back down to the Bell Store I go. I fill Lairen in on what was happening. He calls and explains to yet another rep what was going on. That rep transferred him to another Supervisor. Lairen explains the entire story to that Supervisor. That is now the 9th individual at Bell who has heard it.

    The Supervisor said they can’t just throw money at the issue and hope it goes away… which is NOT what I was looking for. I simply wanted them to keep the promise that was made to me while the problem is diagnosed. I had already explained to them that if it turned out to be the device, I will replace it. Now Lairen is getting frustrated and tells the Supervisor that he doesn’t feel it’s fair that I would have to pay for the charges after being promised that I don’t have to worry about it. The Supervisor continued to repeat to Lairen that without proper notes on the file there was nothing he can do.

    The next day, I get a call from a Tech Support guy at Bell who explains that there was a ticket on my file about a third party application not tracking data usage the same as the Bell Store app. As calmly as I was capable of being, I explained that was NOT the issue… and that he can go ahead and close the ticket because I won’t be with them much longer.

    I have since cancelled my service with Bell, and paid out my device balance as well as the overages they screwed me over with. Bell has taken no action whatsoever to look into the phone call with the rep that made the promise, they have shown zero interest in finding out what the issue might have been, they have not followed up with me to ask why I left (Of course it should be obvious but apparently no one there takes any notes), they tell me they were unable to recover either of the recorded conversations I asked them to look into, and to top it all off… they charged my credit card the $476.08 final bill amount TWICE.

    After ANOTHER call to Customer Service, they said the only way they can repay it is to send me a cheque now that my account has been terminated!!! Are you kidding me?!! So please… if you made it all the way through this story… take my advice and go with ANY other carrier other than Bell. Judging by the terrible reviews found everywhere online, I am not the only customer of theirs that has had to suffer through their extreme uselessness. Rant over.

    Out of the blue I get a 550 error message - supposedly for spam abuse. Well, nothing has changed on my part as I communicate with my customers but something changed internally so people can't email me anymore and I have troubles sending out. Now what? Call support of course. Yikes - one easy convenient number takes you to the Philippines. The delay in transmission is awful. You sit and wait for a response for 5-10 seconds. The support staff have limited knowledge and sometimes are hard to understand. It would be not so bad if they knew what they were doing but add bad communication delays and hard to understand English and the support is less than stellar. Down-right sad is what it is.

    So isn't Bell a Canadian company. Why are Canadians not being used for the support. Bottom line you say? Yes I expect that is it. It is cheaper to outsource support to another country. Well customer support is truly lacking in this company and I can't wait to terminate my account and find a Canadian company with Canadian support. Good bye Bell.

    I tried to cancel my plan, because I no longer needed the service. They overcharged me for the cancelation, and once I tried to waive the fee, they reconnected me five times. In the end, the agent on the phone disconnected me because their offices were closing in a minute. I’m a student, and I really couldn’t afford to lose that money. I really do not recommend Bell, and I can easily say that they provide the worst customer service I’ve faced.

    Worst Customer Experience with Bell Mobility. Horrible, never gonna be with this company. Worst customer representative, mostly call goes to Philippines, hard to understand what they say. Don’t understand what you say. Not helpful, weird thing is that they have some heavy accent supervisors, could be from Africa (assuming) very hard to understand what they say, also not helpful. Instead of resolving problem keep justifying the unjust charges. When I canceled their service, another person with heavy accent called me to get back. I was with another company already at that time. After I denied, they put extra charges in my cancelled account. When I called they were so cold, unkindly.

    First off it took Bell Canada at least a year to associate my phone number with my address. They had it confused with our old cottage and could not figure it out! Now out of nowhere after 2 years of having an invisible answering machine it has disappeared and they can’t tell me why. Patrick says he will figure it out and call me back in ten minutes, and 16 hours later I’m still waiting. Oh yeah and now the prompts don’t recognize my number! It is always incredibly hard to have anything rectified and now I’ll have to spend my Saturday trying to chase down the answer to my problem! It seems like they can’t get anything right!

    I have been with Bell for 1 year. I knew it would only be 1 year and had a good deal so even if I heard complaints about them, I thought it couldn't be that bad. To be honest the installation was quick and the service worked. The problem was when I tried to cancel. Since I was moving, I told them to cancel on June 30. The lady wasn't that pushy and quickly did the order and explained to me the process to return the modem, all good.

    1 day later, June 5, they canceled my service!? I called them and they surprisingly said was a mistake and all would be good in 15 minutes. 2 hours later, nothing. I call back and after explaining again, they say I got the wrong service. I ask if they can transfer me and they say yes, but before they try to sell me TV and mobile service, seriously? I was irritated by now. I said, "I'm not interested, please transfer me." They wouldn't until I gave him a valid reason why I wasn't interest other than "I don't want your ... services". So I hung up.

    I called again and made sure to have the good service, after 45 minutes they say, "Well we can't do anything, a technician will need to come." So tomorrow a technician is supposed to come (will he?) and fix my connection (will he?). But I'm pretty sure I need to call back to order again my cancellation for June 30 and I'm pretty sure they'll send me the return letter for my modem for the wrong order of June 5 and I'll need to sort this out. Never again Bell. And the false letter that are ads every weeks are another thing... Never again Bell. Can't wait to never have to deal with them.

    I manage a medical clinic. Our 3yr contract with Bell expires June 14. Today, June 7 Bell disconnected my phone lines, fax, and internet, a week earlier than this contract was set to expire. There had been confusion over whether we were renewing our contract, but instead of clarifying with us, Bell cut our service short. I spent 4 hours straight on the phone with at least 8 different agents in order to figure what happened. Billing told me that because our number was disconnected, I would have to create a new contract to retain my office numbers.

    When I explained that we did not cancel this contract early, the agent was cavalier. The soonest a technician will come to install the new contract is June 11, half a week from now. This is the lag in service we get even though we did not cancel this service early. We are a medical office regularly triaging with the local hospital. Bell's predatory behavior will cost us patient care. How much does a patient's life cost to you Bell? Instead of taking accountability for your agents' mistakes and sending a technician asap to reinstate service, you show utter disregard for your customers and the services they provide. Small businesses, beware! Bell will cause you problems every few months but will have the audacity to continue charging you for services they do not provide! Go to another provider!

    Bell has been a real problem for me. Unclear billing, consistent overage/extra charges, nothing inspiring about the brand or company vision that I can see or have been exposed to. I'm eagerly awaiting when I can move off Bell and onto a better solution (which there are very limited options). They seem to exist because no one can do it better, so they get to exist in a world of poor customer experience, poor product, poor offering, poor pricing model, and a poor brand.

    The staff that I interact with (without exception for me) feel battle weary and very undelightful - like they're consistently talking with people who don't understand how their bill doubles one month over the next. Customer experience is clearly not an important part of Bell's corporate culture. I would definitely not recommend Bell for my friends or family, and strongly encourage any who ask to find a different provider. I can't provide a solid recommendation to any, but I would really avoid Bell if possible. Absolutely not worth my trouble and time to deal with Bell every few months.

I have been a customer since 1992 but moving due to being billed excessively & having to call about this very poor service & billing constantly without merit. I have wasted countless hours & days trying to get my bill fixed. For the past 8 months I have been dealing with an executive office representative who has assured me that my bill is finally fixed only to find out yet again this month that the bill is double & she is as confused about the whole process as I am. It is the poorest service & support that I have ever received from any company. Bell Mobility, Bell ExpressVu and Bell Aliant are all equally as poor in all areas.

    If you have any other alternative to "Bell Canada" then please run to this company's competitors & be sure to check in advance if the company you are running to is not owned by Bell Canada. If you would take the time to check, you will find that a lot of the smaller companies are owned by their parent company who is "Bell Canada". Good luck and I hope you receive at least acceptable level of service of which Bell Canada is the poorest of poor.

    I have never been so disgusted with a business’s lack of customer service until dealing with Bell Canada! After being with them for over 2 years my bill credits had expired (no problem). I called in and spoke to a gentleman who thanked me for my business and assured me he could save me some more money and keep my packages the same. Well 2 weeks later, Alex notices the internet was horribly slow. I call in only to find out they dropped my packages even though I was assured over 3Xs that it would all stay the same (I asked straight out to ensure this)!

    The currently representative I spoke with today was unresponsive (allowed me to sit in silence for minutes on end), rude and wouldn’t provide me any options to fix my problem. She told me ‘it was my fault' I didn’t fully read my email to see what the rep before had done and simply said ‘ma’am we sent you an email. There’s nothing we can do’. At the end of the phone call (after asking multiple times what could she do for me or what were my options) I simply cancelled my services. There were no attempts to save the relationship or keep me as a customer.

    At the end of the day customer service should be a company's way of life. People are willing to pay higher prices if the customer service they receive is exceptional. I am beyond disappointed with Bell Canada - your company has poor business practices, lack ethics and have some of the worst customer service I have ever seen! #bellcanadaishorrible #boycottbell #getbettercustomerservice

    I have been with Bell for many years. Recently, the company had been overcharging me money. The first time, I was refunded, not through direct deposit, but through cheque. Inconvenient but I didn’t like the business standard they had set by overcharging me for services I hadn’t used. I had found a carrier who was less expensive and communicated to the company that I wanted to disconnect my phone. I had explained my situation to the teller and was still charged for two billing cycles following this.

    When I called today, I spoke to a representative, Pauline, who was extremely rude. I explained my situation but she kept insisting that I “listen to her” in a rude and condescending tone. I informed her that I didn’t want to be spoken to in this manner. She kept insinuating that I was using services while wanting to be refunded and they were legitimate charges. I told her that I understood what she was saying but I had no access to the services I was paying for and if there was an issue, that the representative should have explained the details during the last call. I asked to speak to someone else and this matter is being escalated. Don’t hassle yourselves. Don’t choose Bell. There are other carriers with better plans and will certainly not be encouraging anyone to join their company.

    I had been a Bell customer for 15 years, I am not anymore! My Bell Mobility bill has been creeping up for the last year. I called Bell to find out what was up & ask if there was a different plan I could switch to, basic bill was $60/month but my bill had been $75/month the last 3 months. I call & talked to the customer service rep, she tells me my plan is outdated blah blah blah and if I wanted to switch to a new plan it would be $80/month. What??? I was calling to lower my payments; it was my wife's cell, she averaged 20 minutes a month on calling but we wanted text & data. I said, "No thank you. I will switch providers." The next day another rep from Bell calls me, says they want a satisfied customer and after reviewing my concerns they can offer me a monthly plan for $80/month. What??? Not really a great review of my concerns if you are calling to offer me the same plan, for the same money(more), than what I declined the day before.

    This past weekend I switched my wife's phone to a different provider. I immediately started getting call after call from Bell. I finally answered and the rep asked why I left. After listening to my concerns he offered me a plan matching what I received from the different provider for almost the same money...why bother? I gave Bell 2 chances. I was a loyal customer for 15 years, spent approximately $11,000 with them and only AFTER I leave do they want my business? Nice customer service Bell Mobility - NOT.

    So she gets back on the phone to say my call is being escalated and someone will call me in 24-48 hours... So I can watch the news TONIGHT. Well, that doesn't go well! Then I direct her attention to the billing issue but of course she puts me in hold again only to come back and say it's not her department...

Last year I changed Rogers to Bell, big mistake, every month I have to call in because the price is always different and to fight with customer service. Stay away from Bell. If you are still in contract period, you cannot cancel the service without being fined. After two years, you are not within the contract period and want to cancel, then they will try everything to stop you from walking away by giving you some discounts.

    I have been with Bell for over 10 years. I just experienced the WORST management customer service I have come across. Over these years, there have been the odd error in charges. In those times I recall every time the length to correct the bills. Fine, but it gets done. But this recent incident has left me extremely upset. I myself own a few companies and if a manager or employee talks to a client of mine in a smart ** way or ignored notes on my file for something to be corrected, they would no longer be with me.

    I was out of the country (have been multiple times) and had an issue with the voice mail and incoming and outgoing calls. After the 2nd day, I called Bell and spent hours on the phone while away from Fiancée, Family & colleagues. I received excellent service from a lady in Montreal (this was late at night). She had tech support help me. They tried deleting my voice mail several times. This did not work. I then suggested, "let’s put the phone on call forwarding and I will have an assistant (who works for another colleague of mine) deal with my business calls." This now costed me money to have her do this. The issue was, when you called my phone, it either didn’t ring or rang and I couldn’t hear anyone. So when I let it go to VM, it would ask everyone to put in their 4 digit pin # to access my voice mail.

    So fine. When I got back into the country the next day, I called Bell and they apologized for any inconvenience. They asked, "I wish there was something we could do." So I said, "Listen, the least you can do is cover the cost of roaming." (It was $140, nothing crazy). She said, "Sure we can do this. When your bill comes out on the 28th, call and I will make notes in the system to have you credited back for this." It was a good conversation.

    So I called, I got good service, they stated, "We will do this (they read the notes in the system), but because this is over my limit, I have to get a manager to do so." I’m like no problem. But sure enough there was. The 1st manager stated, "The notes aren’t strong enough for me to believe it is warranted." WHAT?!?! I said I just spoke to your representative and he was going to do, but couldn’t due to over his limit. He said, no he didn’t say that. I literally shook my head.

    I said, "You got to be kidding me. I am not asking for my phone bill to be fully paid, I am not asking for free service. I am asking for some loyalty to an agreement that is written in the system in front of you." I told him I now have been on the phone with this whole situation for probably 5-6 hours. He literally said, "Well what you want me to do about it." I said, "You know what I want you to do about it!" I asked him for his name and said he doesn’t need to give to me. I was like what?? Then click!

    So I called back and got an amazing representative and he was very sorry for the experience. He then said the same thing, "I must pass you over to a Manager." I’m like okay. Then a lady come on and I explained what happened. She apologized. She looked at the file and then said, "we can’t guarantee service outside of the country." I was like what?? I said, "Then why are you promising me some sort of compensation and to call back?? There are notes on the file?" She said, "The notes are not the greatest. Not much I can do." I told her, "I can’t deal with this anymore, this is so frustrating!" I hung up.

    I have never experienced this in any occasion in my lifetime. Again, I own a few business and base it on customer service. If I can’t provide a level of customer service, I wouldn’t be in business. And I run successful businesses. I feel there is nothing you can do with large corporations such as Bell. YOU ARE JUST A NUMBER. Again, a long-time client of theirs and will be leaving once my contract is up. But do you think they will notice? Sadly…no.

    I came back to Bell Canada for it's Fibe Optical Internet as the promise of constant high speed being advertised. It's fast BUT definitely nowhere near the 1 GB advertised. But the PROBLEM is.... Customer Service is ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS. First, I had to reschedule the installation appointment due for Tuesday. I called them the Friday before and the lady gave me 3 possible windows of AM, PM or EVENING next Monday. I took the PM for the following Monday.

    On Sunday night, the Technician called to confirm the installation day as TUESDAY. I said no, it's been changed. Called Customer Service. They had NO RECORD of my call to change the day. Back and forth over 1.5 hours trying to fix this. Nothing changed. Had to miss work on Tuesday to be home.

    Called back to escalate to a Manager. Apologies flowing profusely. As a good will gesture, I was promised FIRST MONTH FREE. Two weeks later, the first bill appears: FULL charge for the first month. No compensation as promised.

    I call back, speak to another Manager... He can't see any records of my call, no notes on compensation. I gave him the exact times and dates of my calls (as recorded on my cell phone call log).... his answer: "Sorry, I see no records of your calls nor offer of free month compensation. I can't do anything." I was LIVID! At that point, I regretted giving my business back to Bell Canada after so many years avoiding them to similar poor customer service 15+ years earlier.

    I honestly recommend you AVOID any dealings with this company. The products are acceptable, almost identical as their competitors, BUT their Customer Service is APPALLING. Call Center located in the Philippines (English Service Reps) (hard to understand the Reps due to very strong accents) OR Morocco (French Service Reps). Unless you have ABSOLUTELY NO ALTERNATIVES. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS or prepare yourself for nightmares if you must deal with Customer Service.

    I left a $25/mo. plan for the same features for $125 with Bell in order to switch to an iPhone. There is very little improvement in the service. The LTE regularly cuts out, and the VM is really bare bones. When I called technical assistance, they could not explain how to check date and time stamping which should be a really basic bare bones feature of voicemail. After an hour on the phone with four different "technicians" starting with level 1 then moving to level 2, I was finally told that Date and Time recording is not a feature of Bell VM!!! After giving up on their tech support team, I dug around their company website and found VM instructions for locating the date and time you received a call, deeply imbedded within their instructions. So deeply imbedded that their own tech team doesn't know how to use VM. So the $100/mo. difference is really going toward paying someone's salary who is not trained and can't answer your questions anyway.

    Had the plan for 9 years (since I was 16) so my mom was an authorized user on account. No matter how many times we tried Bell always forgot or lost the paperwork that took her off the account. Never a problem if I needed to upgrade a plan but the minute I wanted to change or cancel the plan they could only speak with her. They gave us the most trouble when unlocking the phone. The only way they would unlock the phone is if she came into a Bell store. Just oh so convenient that they make it the most difficult when trying to leave their service.

    From start to finish, Bell has been the biggest nightmare. When I switched to Bell, they messed up my entire account which caused several departments to have to get involved and introduced me to the Bell Nightmare of rude reps and inefficiency that makes you wonder if you're living in a first world country. Not only that, the services they provide are rotten. My telephone cuts out every 5 minutes, my Bell Fibe TV always needs to be rebooted and my internet is a disaster. I contacted Bell's Executive Office in Montreal several times because their customer service call centers have the RUDEST reps on planet Earth.

    However, the Executive Office is a joke and they are extremely rude, too! Rudeness and treating customers like dirt are part of Bell's culture. The call centers are in the Philippines and they are not accountable to anyone and start arguing with you over silly things and don't want to help fix the issue and then blame you which makes you ask to speak to someone else at which point they hang up on you. Happens to me every time, no joke. I would advise my worst enemy to stay away from Bell unless you really want to experience a nervous breakdown.

    I have been using Bell internet services for 2 years. The original price I was paying for basic internet was $50. A few months ago the pricing began to rise without indication that it was going to be raised on my mail statements. I paid the $78 bills as read because I didn’t want to go through the hassle of changing companies. In January, I stopped receiving mail bills and they didn’t tell me. When my bill in February didn’t show up I assumed it was late mail by Canada Post. At the beginning of March I called to ask about my bill and they said it was online. I requested my paper bill. By the time I received it the price went up by $40 and they wanted me to pay the two months at the price of $110. Cancelling my account was a nightmare. Do not sign up with Bell.

    For years I have a monthly plan with Bell Mobility which included in the price 1 GB of data but in February 2019 Bell started to charge data as extra without letting me know in advance. I contacted Bell Mobility, disputed the charge and cancelled my phone service. They agreed to credit the data charge but then on April 10 they billed me for $30 plus tax for the approximately 130 MB of data that they claimed I used from February 1 to Feb 16? Why do they charge me for this data when my monthly plan with them for years included 1 GB of data is beyond me. I spoke with a supervisor at Bell Mobility today and he agreed to give me a discount of 50%, means that I now have to pay only $16.95 (tax included). I will pay for this amount but I still think Bell should have not charge me for the data in the first place.

    I want my bill corrected. It should be 76.60. This has happened many times. This has happened many times in the last year. On this attempt to correct, Nell from Bell in the loyalty department hung up on me. This was after been transferred 4 times in 2 hours trying to resolve this error on Bell's part. The call was dropped on the Bell end. She had all the info but never called me back. I am certain she knows that she can contact me and not me with her. She said I had made changes to my account and not Bell.

    I denied this again as in another a previous time when Bell had to make a correction and told her so. Twice she put me on hold and I waited more than 20 minutes. The current problems seem to stem from increases made without my knowledge or permission to the contract I made for one year's service back in May 2018. The corrections have always been with patches and never correcting the problem. I have and will continued to e-pay a total of 76.60 HST included, which was the amount I originally contracted with Bell.

    A secondary issue is the end of my 1 year bundle. I only require phone with caller ID and internet. I would like to negotiate the next billing terms.

    This is a bit of an older situation but their poor service continues to amaze me. My husband died. He had Bell, I had Virgin phone. I decided to move all to his because mine was for emergency only. Virgin was awesome, understanding it was because of a death, no additional charges. Then the saga with Bell began, and sadly ALL of this is true: I call, they say I need to send a scan of his death certificate within so many days or they will cancel ALL service. I scan and send right away. Then they phone to threaten me that I hadn't scanned and said they were cutting off my phone. I call and it is sorted out because they already had the scan.

    Knowing the situation to change the name, (i.e. my husband died) they charge me a fee (I think $50) to change to my name. They subsequently say they will reverse it. They do not. The argument goes on for so long, I contact the Toronto Star's ombudsman to help. I promise to (and do) give the money to the Star's charity. It was not about the money. They finally reverse it, and two months later they put it back on my bill! When I contact them they refuse to take it off. I again contact the ombudsman and it gets reversed again, but, they actually call me to say "we had every right to charge you."

    This is just one example but they have overcharged and then refused to fix things several times. Last time their excuse was "we can't reverse a charge if it is already on your bill." I said "how can I know what you're charging me until I see it?" It took 3 hours to get this fixed. They overcharged me $50 for a service I said in writing I did not want, and they finally offered to take $25 off. After the 3 hours they took off the $50.

    My father has a pay as you go plan with Bell, as of the beginning of the year (2019) they started taking $5.75 off a month, which they told him about via text messages. There was no explanation in the text-messages why they were taking the money out each month, and after it occurred for a few months in a row I went with him to the Bell store to speak to a representative (previous attempts to speak to a 'real human being' on Bell's customer service line took much too long to make calling them about the issue a viable option).

    The representatives at the Bell store did their jobs properly and explained to us why Bell was taking money off each month when his previous plan was to pay $100 for the year and pay for each phone call and text message as he needed it (the phone is only used for emergencies). I do not blame the Bell store representatives for being the messenger in this situation, just the policies of the Bell company. The representatives told us that at the beginning of the year they changed the pay as you go plans and that they were now automatically taking $5 off plus tax a month and that in exchange he would receive 10 min of free calling a month.

    I am not impressed that Bell decided to make a change to this plan without giving us any forewarning, and that they just decided to start taking money off of the prepaid account. They did not give us an option to opt out of this change in plan, nor did they offer to give us the money back that they had already taken out even though they had been taking it away without our knowledge, agreement, or consent as we do not have a signed contract for that plan with Bell. Overall we are going to continue with Bell until the money we have already paid for the plan runs out, and then we're switching to a different company that is more transparent in how they treat their paying customers.

I had to take into consideration my other finances and work with a budget that will fit me. I just moved to Milton and for those of you that do not know, the service providers are limited here. The only companies that I knew of were Bell Canada and a few others that I never heard of before. Because Bell is such a popular company I decided to go with them thinking that I'd rather go with a service provider that I knew of and is well known. BAD DECISION!

    I am only 6 months into my contract and I already tried to cancel with them within the first 2 months. Why? Because they are straight up liars. They hide information without telling you what you're truly paying for in order to make a sale. I'm not too sure how their system works but being in a customer service industry that deals with clients on a daily basis, in my profession we always TAKE NOTES on clients in order to avoid any negative interactions and provide the best customer service possible.

    From Day one they should of put notes on my file showing that I was already frustrated due to the fact that I felt lied to and wanted to cancel my contract. But no. Dealing with everything new person who picks up the customer service line they just continued doing what they were doing to make me so upset. First off, from the beginning I wanted a contract that would include NBA. First of all I do not care for TV because there is so much other things you can watch now with just internet (Netflix, Youtube etc) that TV these days is NOT NECESSARY. But because I was looking for a good deal, they offered me TV and internet in a package. Now once again, I STRESSED THAT I WANTED TO WATCH NBA GAMES.

    This incompetent person failed to tell me that it was only a 1 month promo and after that it would cost extra money to add it to my contract. I have already worked a set price as part of my budget and surprise surprise when a month passes and I try to watch the game-I am unable to do so. Calling in frustrated I had to fight 3 times before being escalated to a higher up customer service and they finally worked out a package and offered me something cheaper than what I was originally paying for per month and it included NBA channels. The trick was I had to get a HOME PHONE. Who the hell (excuse my language) in this day and age uses a home phone but whatever.

    I agreed and took down the customer information (Alan employee #**) to ensure I do not have problems in the future because at this point this company lost my trust already. First month goes by, the bill doesn't match. It ends up being cheaper (I agreed to $120.74 taxes in and my bill was $104.00). I called in and it was because I didn't activate my home phone yet - fair. I got a home phone. Within the next month my husband gets a phone call offering us 2 months free on movies on demand and in order to avoid the charge after that we need to cancel before the 2 months are up. He says ok - we agree.

    The next month's bill comes up and the $120.74 (taxes in) that I agreed on went to $149.99. Called in again, FURIOUS. Not frustrated, FURIOUS. He said that I got charged for movies on demand but how it works is that they give me a credit 2 MONTHS LATER. Such B.S! Why the hell don't these stupid people just SAY THAT so we can politely say NO THANKS! Like all it really is here is communication and providing facts that match the service you choose. I got so upset and after multiple attempts (Cherry employee #** hung up on me) Louise (employee #**) reduced my bill to $121.74 taxes in which is 1$ above what I was originally promised. Please note, the 1$ difference isn't the point.

    The point is I had to fight for what I was promised to be charged for and it still wasn't the same as what I was promised. Like holy crap I want a simple contract with monthly charges that are the SAME EVERY MONTH for what I agreed to pay for. I paid the $121.74 and 1 week later I get an email saying that if I do not pay the remaining balance of $28.25 I will get charged a late fee. I haven't called them yet because I'm trying to calm down or I will lose all professional demeanor I have left to give to these people. You guys are plain stupid. No one messes up this much and if you do then you should seriously get fired. I'm so over it with BELL.

    I just canceled Rogers and ordered Bell Fibe TV about 2 months ago. Everything worked great for about 2 weeks and then I lost my signal for Fibe. I've had 3 different technicians come in and give me the run around about what the problem was, then I had 2 technicians not show up. I have been without cable for 4 weeks now, and they dont seem to want to fix it but they still charged me 208.00 dollars for something I can't even watch. So I canceled their services today and now they want to try and charge me a cancellation fee, when they're the problem.

    Bell Canada, increases bill every 3 months without providing actual reason for the that. They say that they improve their system and it is underground. I don't buy that. Most of the time after 12 am I had hard time to open any pages for 30 to 50 minutes. When I called to cancel the service, they left me on the phone and agent disappeared. This happened me more than one time. Whenever we do speed test they don't pass 96Mbps and the package they have sold us is 300Mbps. They tried to keep us with them and they reduced the bill and they said they did not change anything regarding the service and it turned out they removed most of the TV channels. They told also there will be no contract and it was not true. Their customer service is not in Canada anymore. I will never ever buy any service from them again. Bell Canada is my nightmare. Bell Canada is a dishonest company with overpriced service.

    In September I sign up with Bell Canada cable tv. They told that anything you don’t like you can cancel it and you'll not get charge. For over 2 months and half kept calling them telling them that every 5 minute of my watching tv it disrupt 5-6 seconds. Kept calling Bell technical support. And they did not resolve the problems. They left an appointment with a technician to come and see the problem 10am. They make me wait like a yo-yo home 5-6 hours.

    I called Bell to ask why the technician is not here yet and they told me technician came 8:30am. Even though the appointment was at 10am. And they’re the one to set it up the appointment. Today Bell Canada sends me another bill (deactivation fee). For canceling the service that I never had. A terrible customer service. I called Bell today and I spoke with a manager and he told me, "You are right but unfortunately you still have to pay the deactivation fee" They admitted their fault but they want to steal my money.

    Bell stole my money for 8 months. I had a second line that I canceled early in a contract because my ex took stole the phone and I already had a line. That line was 80 bucks a month and not connected. I called randomly and asked “when is this line’s contract over?” They said “8 months ago.” I asked politely why I was not told or sent an email asking if I would like to re-sign a new contract instead. You said nothing and took my money for 8 months? The guy who doesn’t speak English, (shocker there) went right off on me.

    Apparently, it is in the contract saying you are responsible to ask them to stop taking your money when your contract is up! I'm not a ride or angry person. I was calm and polite, this guy was not. This went on for 45 mins. He hung up on me, then called me back and said “hello, I called you back to tell you, I am not giving you any money back.” Well... Not today bud... I made them give me half of that money back and paid the other half which was 300 bucks. I overpaid and had a credit last month of 50 bucks. Now I only pay for one line that is 70 dollars.

    So I’m waiting for a 20 dollar bill right? Nope, in comes a 300 dollar bill, I’m still paying for that other line, I have overage charges and I have late payment fees out the **. I don’t even live in a cell reception area I don’t call, text or use data. Once a week I go into service, for a few hours. Save your money, they are a bunch of thief’s.

    I see a lot of bad reviews about Bell Canada and in my experience if you're rude and demand things over the phone you will usually get free credits but they will take their time reconnecting you. If you are respectful and polite on the phone and understand that it isn't the technician's fault that your services aren't working then 9 times out of 10 they will do everything in their power to get you hooked up again. After getting connected to a 2nd tier Bell technician we realized it was my fault the services weren't working, I had the wrong power adapter plugged in but all was good. We laughed and life went on. So to anyone having problems with Bell services, just remember that it goes a long way to be nice and calm. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

    This was going on our 3rd year of being a Bell customer. Before that we had always been Rogers but when we moved, we thought we would try Bell as FIBE was just on the rise. Initially, we were very happy. We got a first time subscriber plan and had all these credits applied to our accounts. Fast forward 2 years and every few months our bill spikes because credits expire. To put it into perspective, it rose $120/month since we initially signed up... We had monthly phone calls to try and work out new promos but another one was always expiring and what ultimately did it for us was 4 months in a row being offered a promo that would drop our price down 30 dollars was never applied. The next month the person would state that something else expired so it evened out. Even when we provided the promo codes and reference numbers, they somehow disputed it, talking in circles.

    When we called to cancel, that was the first time they seemed to take it seriously, but by that point we were done. We switched providers (I am sure everyone can figure out who we switched to) and our agreement states that the package does not expire - other than the annual increase %, unless we switch packages, our pricing remains the same. No credits and no expiration that causes us to call them on a monthly basis. I do not see us ever going back to Bell. We have returned to a company who we had much better experiences with in the past and are happy to be working with once more.

    Bell has been providing us with a bundle of services (2 landlines, TV and phone) for as long as we and they can remember, with Fibe and optic fibre to the home. We have been plagued for some time with problems with the TV service -- the image/signal freezing. In the best case events it was restored through rebooting the system. On other occasions there were long calls with their technical staff and even several visits from their technicians.

    At one point last month they said the problem could be fixed by upgrading from Fibe 150 to Gigabit Fibe. And that they would do this for no additional charge. It did not fix the problem, though a subsequent technician visit diagnosed that much of the problem seems to be due to the number of other Bell users in our immediate neighbourhood and the increasing saturation of their wifi bandwidth. But the real insult came when our latest bill arrived and we find we are being charged $35 more per month for the (promised free) upgrade to Gigabit Fibe. And despite hours of calls with Bell's sales and "loyalty department", they say their system does not allow them to restore our original monthly rates. So the net of it all is that we have had our monthly bill jacked up by $35 in a failed effort to fix their technical problem.

    As a business we rely on our phones lines to bring in our customers and unfortunately we recently discovered that our service has not been working and that we've been overcharged for quite some time. We have a family business located now in the GTA. My father got a 416 number about 20+ years ago that would strictly forward incoming calls to our office line. Luckily, I called into Bell regarding lowering our monthly plan. We were paying a whopping amount of $90+ per month for a single number reach plan. This would have been maybe my fifth call regarding lowering the price, but it was only the last call that someone offered me a better plan.

    Afterwards, I randomly tried calling the 416 number to discover my call got disconnected. From then on I have dealt with about 16+ technicians and/or managers to try and figure out when/how our service stopped working. Unbelievably, we were told many different stories which are recorded. We were told, "This account isn't under your name, so we cannot access records beyond 30 days," to possibly our migration was the cause of it, etc.

    About a month later we're are still awaiting a resolution. The latest we've been told is that Bell can access records beyond 30 days, but cannot find out when/how our service stopped working and that we only get compensation for the time between MY INITIAL CALL till now! In other words, our paid service could have been down for days, months or years without us knowing. As a loyal Bell customer we were astounded by the poor customer service and policy. We are now removing all of our Bell services and switching providers.

    Today I had to call Bell service THREE TIMES. Three days ago we had a major snowstorm. Since then, the phone line had a lot of static, and the static caused my DSL modem to fall in and out of connection. My DSL service is NOT with Bell, but piggybacks on their infrastructure. I thought nothing of it at first... "Snowstorm and damaged equipment happens, I'll just wait a couple of days and it should be fixed..." Yesterday morning before I went to work, the phone line was still working, although it still had static. When I came back from work, no dial tone anymore. It's not a hard break on the line, since my DSL modem still works (but still falls in and out of connection). So today I called Bell. After wrestling around with the automated phone system for a while I managed to talk to someone.

    I asked that first person if there was any open ticket in my area already, because I figured the issue can't be just in my apartment, and must have been reported. Turns out they don't even have that information. I obviously have no need for a technician to come to my place, since the problem is obviously outside. I told this to the first person I talked to, and I told her to open a ticket and to write down that I will not be there for the technician, that he can just fix the issue outside and leave me a voicemail after it's done. She tells me she will transfer me to the right department. She transferred me to Internet service support. Strike 1.

    Second person I talked to gave me a phone number to supposedly talk to the technical department. The number with local area code is out of service, and with the typical toll free 1-866 I end up on some strange automated service that doesn't identify itself as Bell, and asks me to answer "poll" questions like "How many people above 50 years old in your household?" Obviously I hung up. Strike 2. At this point I've been on the phone with Bell for almost an hour, and I am seriously losing patience.

    Third person I talked to I set straight from the start. I gave her my information, and told her to look up my two previous calls in their system and see if the previous two had taken any notes. They haven't. I explain to her that I am nearing the end of my rope here, and that what will happen next will depend on how carefully she thinks before answering. I told her I am not angry at her, personally, but that the company service is complete and utter **, and that I am tired of wasting time with them. This time she took me seriously and opened a ticket. The worst thing is ALL THREE of them tried to sell me additional services. I'M CALLING BECAUSE THE ONE SERVICE I HAVE FROM YOU IS NOT WORKING, DO YOU *THINK* I WANT MORE OF THE SAME? Worst. Company. Ever.

    They confirmed they were received and that my account balance was $0.00. 4 months later I have credit bureaus calling me saying I have an outstanding bill with them from October 2018. I cancelled my services with them in AUGUST 2018, I had moved out of the country by September 9 2018, again prior to doing so I already confirmed I had no outstanding payments. If I was no longer in the residence let alone the country in September HOW is it possible that I have an outstanding bill in October?

    This isn’t the first instance. They previously (on another account in a different residence) claimed I never sent back my receivers and that I owed them over $600.00, luckily for me I kept my records from UPS and they “apologized for the inconvenience” if I had not kept those receipts they would be expecting payment.

    It is a disgrace that Canada has such limited options when it comes to cable service providers.

    Companies like Bell, Telus, and Rogers, control the market and are the dictators of this industry. This should not be legal. They run their business on the hope that their customers will not understand or question their “mysterious charges” which sadly, we don’t because we don’t want our credit to be negatively affected. We have no rights when it comes to disputing charges, these companies just send it off to collections and we are forced to pay.

I expressed my concern that although they were negligent in not sending the return label to me, I would somehow get blamed and have an astronomical charge on my bill. The reassured me that wouldn’t happen and that it had been entered into the system that I had called and that a return label hadn’t been issued. They stated I would not be charged.

    By January 2019, I still hadn’t received the return label, so I had to invest more of my time and call yet again. Repeat of the conversations in the previous 2 months. This time, I was told I didn’t need a return label. That he could simply give me a Reference Number to provide to Canada Post. I was almost frantic in my urgency that I not be charged for the equipment. Reassurances happened again. I stressed the negative and dire consequences it would have. When I returned the equipment, I called Bell Canada and provided the Tracking Number. I stated I wanted it entered into their system. He said he entered it and that it would reflect equipment was on its way and that no charges would be applied to my account.

Was receiving 50mg service (home can't support the 100mg service I've been charged for the past year, I've had several calls (and technicians issuing tickets to have this rectified) on May 28, Jul 23, Oct 17 2018 & 2/6/19). Asked for a credit to be reflected for the service I was receiving (50mg), was told a credit was in progress-never received it. Now the company is refusing to reimburse me for this for the full year when I was charged for a service I did not receive.

    Also- because the billing was set up as 100mg service, anytime the modem was unplugged or there was a power outage- my cable/internet would crash (it reset to 100mg which is unsupportable speed) resulting in 4 separate 1 week outages in a 6 month period. No credits for this period without services was issued either (they refused). I've wasted a total of 15.5 hrs dealing with billing and technical issues altogether. I have not had ONE helpful phone call- ONE rep that truly tries to help or even LISTENS. They are just ready to give you the most ridiculous reasons as to why you won't receive your money back- even when they did not deliver on a service you have been incorrectly paying for.

    My advice: save your money- go elsewhere- and if you decide not to listen to that- do NOT waste your time trying to get them to help when an issue comes up (because it 100% will come up). THEY WON'T LISTEN, THEY WON'T ACTUALLY HELP. Just escalate it to the commission for complaints for telecom-television services.

Suddenly Jan 2019 month charge has come 591 CAD, customer care representative told that, "You are out of contract." I tried to tell- "I have not broken the contract, please listen the recordings what you do for quality purposes." They mentioned, "Whatever is noted by representative, i.e. final, you have to pay money, otherwise connection will be cut." What should I do, can I go for consumer court?

    Bell Canada has been sending out techs for about 6 months now to repair our upstairs landline. After 10 different Bell experts going in and out of our house on different dates, the phone still has someone dialing up in the middle of our conversations throughout the day. We get phone messages such as, "LINE IN USE. BUSY" and no message at all. At times there is no dial tone. At times there is other people talking on the line or just a beeping sound. The biggest joke is through all this Bell has the nerve to have their collections department call us numerous times throughout the day demanding payment of our account.

    So now we have a cable strung from our Bell box at the side of the house to our neighbour's Bell box, it goes along the back wall up the fence, up the neighbor's wall down their downspout to their box [what a beautiful site] and still the phone doesn't work properly. So we have to call the BELL CALL CENTRE located in the PHILIPPINES, WELL WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT A Canadian company to have their call centre! WHAT A JOKE.

    Very bad company, always trying to take advantage from customer. I requested my Bell internet service transfer from Oct 15th, and after that I got phone call for confirming that my service already been remove, until I check my Bell online, they still charging my internet for extra 2 months. Then I called Bell Canada, they were telling there has nothing notes said I requested for internet transfer. What a joke. You guys called me back for confirming that my service was transferred, now you saying there has no note said anything under my account? Then I called over 5 time upon on this issue, they still saying they couldnt do anything, every time after they said they will call me back in 7 business days for the result. I never get call back, and when I call them back, they told me my conference number different than what they have. OMG, I really hate this company, and I dont have other company that service my area. This company is a shame!!!

    Was not happy with every month being charged for outgoing AND INCOMING long distance calls from within Canada. There are a few issues here. I shouldn't be charged for incoming calls. If I did pick up a call it was coming from BC to Alberta and bill amounted to around $20 for 21 minutes which is exorbitant and I don't agree that I had that amount of incoming calls. Also for the long distance calls they claim I make outgoing were false because I used Skype for all my calls.

    When I was asked for assistance I was told to call another line. Prior customer service experience with other providers, the customer service assistant should put me through to the department for me. Some amount should be included in all accounts to allow for some calls within Canada. And a customer should not pay for incoming calls. Customer service signing me to up to use Bell originally were nice.

    I have been trying for a year to have my service change. When I signed up originally I got a package with TV, WiFi and phone. After 2 months I decided I only needed internet, so I asked them to change the service to wifi package Fibe 50. When I got my first bill it was Fibe 15 which is the basic package so I also got billed for going over. When I called them to fix it and credit me, I was on the phone for over 3 hours. I got the credit but they did not fix the package. This keeps happening EVERY MONTH - it's been over a year!

    So literally every month I have to call them and go through this entire process and they can't seem to fix it. Then a few months ago, some genius decided to "cancel" my account. Even though I still get service, every time I call I have to explain the "cancelled" account. In Nov 2018 when I called again, someone finally told me that a technician had to come in to install the Fibe 50! This was the FIRST time I had heard this. So the tech came and it turns out that my building has fibre cables but was never hooked up for service. They were supposed to call me back to schedule a team to come in to hook up the building. It is now mid Jan and no one has called me.

    SO today, Jan 19th I have called them 5 times, been hung up on once, transfer and placed on hold 6 times, transferred to wrong departments 3 times and my account is still "cancelled." I am still on the wrong package getting charged overages and no date for a technician to come hook up the building or my service. I have been on the phone for almost 4 hours at this today. This is BEYOND RIDICULOUS! There is zero accountability or service or respect for customers who pay for a service not to mention their paycheck. LITERALLY THE WORST COMPANY EVER! If you have another option, do with the other option. Unfortunately I don't!

    Signed up with Bell 2 years ago (well almost 2 years). Got a reasonable deal for everything, mobile, internet and home phone as well as tv. I was guaranteed a certain discount each month which I did receive. However I was duped into believing that the price would also stay the same for the two year period. Wrong! The discount stays the same but the price increases regularly, I must mention that quality of service was not an issue.

    Upon obtain a quote from my local cable company I find that I can switch everything and improve the plans for a total of $120.00 less a month, better cell package, better TV package and way faster internet. I reached out to Bell and inquired about price matching and was told that they don’t do that and was also told what my payout would be and to just go ahead and switch providers.

    That’s just what I have done, so far the cell phones have been switched and everything else happens in two days from now. A few hours after switching the phones I get a call from Bell. Apparently new special team put together to find out why I switched providers, and attempt to lure you back. Number one I explained that I gave them an opportunity to retain my business which they refused, number 2 they offered exactly what the new provider offered? A little too late if you ask me. And as info new provider gave a written guarantee that the price is fixed with no increases of any kind over the 2 year period. Long winded review but I think Bell has a lot to learn about customer retention.

    Have had nothing but headaches dealing with Bell. Billing cycle on the account doesn't match the billing cycle on my phone and I'm being charged an overage fee for going over data but my phone is showing that I'm still under the limit. I honestly feel as if Bell is just a legal con artist that rips their customers off left, right and center. Horrible service. Cannot wait to sign with another provider!!!

    I have a prepaid cell phone $100.00 worth of minutes good till October 2019, no monthly fee. Now Bell are going to charge me $5.00 monthly fee and give me 10 minutes a month (no rollover). I don't use 10 minutes a month, I can go months and not use the cell. That five dollars they are going to take ends up to be $60.00 of my $100.00. Bell says they can do this because they sent enough notice. GOODBYE BELL. And I won't be renewing my Bell landline, FibreOP and internet once that contract is up.

    Hello, I bought an iPhone X on the contract and I paid $16 for the insurance. My plan is totally $105. Now my phone is lost and I claimed for that. I have all the proofs of insurance but insurance company and Bell refused to give me the replacement device. Then what is the benefit of insurance. They just simply say we are sorry... Insurance company said that I have all the insurance but my account has been abused but when I ask what abuse I did with my account they said they cannot tell me because of the security reason...**. How would I know what happened to my account. They simply denied my request even I paid monthly insurance. Can consumer department help me? Is there any department who gives me justice? I am not rich that I can buy a new phone???

    Five originally was great. I endorsed it when asked by family and friends. Then it began to decline in service. Interruptions of service, freezing of images, distortion on sound and image synchronization. Call center was mostly a very, very long process with a good person or totally clued out person. More and more required area service people. More and more required people to come to the house. Except those people were personable and knowledgeable and a last resort but solved issues often doing things way beyond me or needing outside co-ordination. Now I see constant decline again and again with PVR. First it starts with PVR full when that is impossible. Reboot irrelevant. Then recordings and On Demand experiencing technical difficulties and finally Netflix unavailable. Then hours of trial error, supposed customer service from the other part of the globe by people only reading a script and do not care if there is a resolution or not.

    What a monopolized horrible company. None of the people who work there care about their jobs. They don't even know what they are talking about. I was sold a specific phone on Boxing Day at a great deal. It took almost a month for it to show up in the mail. And they sent the wrong phone!!!! I phoned in and the guy I talked to said I could send it back but since the rep who placed the order had typed in the wrong phone they said that there is nothing they can do. I would have to order another phone and there would be no boxing day deal on it. Are you kidding me... I waited until Boxing Day to order a new phone and was so excited. This is Bell's fault. Why am I getting taken advantage of? Huge inconvenience and a waste of my valuable time. I have been a loyal customer for 10 years. Well that ends today. Good riddance Bell. I'll be going elsewhere. What a joke of a company.

    Over time Bell added all kind of useless charges to my bill - wire care, dish care, phone care, name it. This was accompanied by nice "valued customer" letters which I was throwing in the garbage. Almost $80/month just for the darn home phone that rings mostly with calls from scammers and spammers. Over the phone with support (in India, gosh) was not able to get anything useful. On 01/12 took the decision to cut this and amended online my service features dropping the useless stuff. Sure, being threatened that I discontinue a service which I can't take back if I change my mind. And being confirmed online and by E-Mail for $52.48/month.

    Tried to check with support, over the phone, they could not confirm the new billing, told me to patiently wait the order to complete. Took a few days for the order to complete - finally it appeared, but LO and behold - the useless charges were back and ended up with just $4 less than previous billing. This practice of milking clients is outrageous to say the least. I have escalated by E-Mail, no answer so far. The problem with "over the phone" - cannot present any proof of Bell misdemeanor.

    We purchased business internet and TV. Added business phone to our bundle and signed a contract for 36 months. After a while the phone bill increased. When called Bell they said they have the right to increase the bill up to 10% annually. When we tried to cancel the phone, they said we have to pay them $500 cancellation fees. Increasing the bill 10% never mentioned when I signed the contract for 36 months. It seems they hide it in fine print and never mentioned. Very unprofessional and unethical way to treat the customers.
