    I went to Bell to transfer five phone lines over from Fido. I have perfect credit so they ran my credit. They told me they can’t help me right now. I was disappointed and the person at bell told me because I had a bankruptcy of 200 dollars in 2007. When I went bankrupt. I called their head office and asked me to send them my documents of the bankruptcy. I did. It’s been 2 months now and I have emailed them. Of course there is no response back. Before I went to get my telephone numbers transferred over I got bell Fibe which I was happy with. But I think I’m going back to Rogers. Good job bell. You suck. Holding me accountable to a 2007 bankruptcy. Your customers service sucks.

    They cannot solve a simple connection issue. Simply wasting my time and no solution found at the end. They want the bill to be paid before establishing a connection? Ridiculous. Customer service I could give a negative rating if it is available.

    To start with my late husband’s name after 6 years from his passing still shows his name each time I log into to look at my bill! Every month for the last 6 years they tell me it is corrected... But his name is still there! How cruel! Whenever I leave the country (and my phone is on airplane mode) I get charged if a phone call comes through, and get this... because I have voice mail they say I automatically get charged! I am tired of calling every month to get them to fix my bill, and remove my lates husband's name off the bill!

    I will start off with I had a basic phone plan with no data then I got my 5yr old a tablet for 10 bucks a month for 2yrs with 2 GB of data and I didnt even want data because she 5 and I didnt want some ridiculous bill coming for data so they told me they blocked her after 2 gb. Then a month later I get a new phone because they said I can't get a data plan on it so talked me into paying 40 bucks to cancel my contract, get a new phone and another 40 to activate it but now I have unlimited data on this phone. So my next bill comes in at over 800 bucks because someone over there took the 2 gb data plan off her tablet and didn't bother to notify me.

    So I call to fix it and what happened? They tell me to get transferred to a supervisor. Well 20 min later I get hung up so I call back and well this just keeps happening for a good hour of calling and getting hung up on. So time goes by still haven't turned on data so I take sim card out and still my bill just keeps going up. Oh and when they credit my 700 hun with still owing over 750 I pay them 220 what I think I owe and they cut off my service then they tell me, "Pay us 1500 now and on the 26th will credit you." I tell them I'll wait it out then till the 26th and still no ** in phone!!! And the guy that I talked to last found their damn mistake after being told repeatedly that she never had 2 gb of data found the mistake. So basically I'm done with this company. Bunch of scammers and I will not pay for this cause it's bs and I strongly recommend for everyone never to go into business with them.

    I have a free credit report through Scotiabank that notifies me of fraud. I have received Three notifications on there from Bell saying they have pulled my credit and I called and the person on the fraud team basically accused me of lying and saying, "We didnt do that." I gave her the numbers, customer number, account number, literally everything and she said there is no record of that so it wasnt them. On my credit report it says BELL MOBILITY. So I was like who is that then and she just got progressively ruder. Then I receive an account activation letter say welcome to bell in the mail saying how much my monthly bill is going to be. So I called.

    Sure enough they say there is no record of it in their system. Literally insane. They are a haven for fraud and scammers and their staff are disgustingly rude especially in a fraud department where they could be dealing with someone who has had their entire identity stolen. This was hands down the worst agent I have ever spoken to on the phone.

    I called Bell because the promo they had offered me expired and my bill for the Month of October doubled - precisely to about $107.29. I called to see if I could get a new promo or what other package I could get as the price was too high for just internet. My first call was on Sunday at about 3:50pm. First person validated me and I explained what I wanted and to be transferred to the loyalty dept. Call got disconnected after I got transferred and the agent never called back.

    I called a 2nd time was validated and transferred, same thing happened after I got transferred and was speaking to the agent in the loyalty dept. - No call back. I called a 3rd time. Had to explain myself all over again. I advised the agent I just wanted to get through to the loyalty dept. and explained I was frustrated as this was my 3rd time of calling. Obviously I was not happy. The agent was so rude and said I was shouting and he had to follow a process. I got validated and he went ahead to offer me things I did not want. I he did not have to options I wanted and should transfer me was I I sought. He took his precious time and eventually transferred me.

    I got hold of an agent in loyalty who wanted to validate me again, and I said I had just been validated and should not be going through this again. Fair enough he was cool and was trying to help but said the options for a promo was not coming up and would give me a call back once the system was okay. I provided my phone number. I never got a call back. However, I received a call today 11/25/19 to complete a survey.... My problem is yet to be resolved, I never got the call I was promised to have my concern dealt with. I am thinking of cancelling my Business with Bell

    Anyone who has been a Bell customer for over 8 yrs that has never been late paying a bill, will not receive their newest phone for free. Instead of paying for your new phone through Bell Canada, I suggest you go to the brand's website and order directly from there. Bell charged me full price for the newest Samsung phone (over 1500 dollars) and, by choosing to buy directly from Samsung, I saved 300 dollars. So, Bell will not get my business when they obviously don't care about customer loyalty. Also, the app is glitchy and customer service won't even allow you to speak with their manager if you ask. Very disappointed customer.

    A Major disconnect here between sales, account management, and technical areas of Bell Mobility with customer service that falls apart when scripted responses fail to target issues. The misinformation, insincerity that comes from scripted responses (right up to supervisory levels) leaves you feeling duped, frustrated, angry, insulted and wishing for any other service provider than Bell. I’ve had 6 weeks of this and feel qualified to comment as such.

    I have Bell internet. It works pretty well. I came home from work and it was down-no big deal - these things happen from time to time. I rebooted the modem with no luck. I was going to call for service but let my dogs out into the yard first. That is when I noticed the wires hanging over my porch, steps, and crisscrossed at the bottom of the steps (to make a good tripping hazard). The wire was draped all down the lawn on the ground up to a pole.

    I did not call bell for anything. I called the service department and after making me do several modem tests was told I had to wait for 2 days for a technician and had to be home. I told them I had to go to work and if they could come on my property without permission to make a mess they could come on to fix it without me being home. The service rep offered no empathy or apology. Just kept saying the same things over and over. After arguing for 15 minutes I finally got an evening appointment (in two days mind you). I just cant believe a professional installer would leave such an unsafe mess. Do they want to get sued?

    The worst customer service ever. I had my internet with Bell for couple of years. I received my bill with a sudden change ($40 more than what I was paying). They made me an offer and promised to give me credit that I would see in my next bill. The next bill was the same and when I called they said that I have to pay it and they can't do anything. I asked to cancel my service and they easily agreed without any effort to keep my business. Ugh.

    We signed up with Bell and it was a disaster from install until cancellation. The install took 8 hours over the course of two days - not one of the technicians were informed on what they should be doing. Several people came and went with no communication from Bell. The line wasn’t buried and they couldn’t give me a date. Several months later it’s still hanging across my fence.

    After I lodged complaint with CCTC over my bill (no manager would return our calls) they still couldn’t give me a date and the gentleman from Bell who was supposed to help was very unapologetic about the whole situation. We have had three separate instances of our service being down and they cannot come same day to repair (not easy in a house full of teens to be without internet). The absolute worst thing about the whole experience was the way we were treated on the phone. Bell employees seem to take pleasure in making their customers lives miserable. I cannot stress enough to stay away from this company.

    Worst customer service experience I ever had. I had Bell package (TV, Home Phone, Internet) during July 2019 and the provided me to give everything for around 100 CAD. Next month I started received 200+ charges and had to call them to remind their promises. They did a settlement of my bill with some credit. Again, next month I received a bill of 275+ CAD and called customer care for this dispute. This has been ongoing from the day one. Yesterday I had called customer care reporting my 405 CAD bill for the month of October and they said I have made changes on my plan. Unaccepted. Who will make changes to increase their bill amount up to 400$?

    I was connected to the care department and they transfer the call to their loyalty department. The person I was talking to said we could not do anything on this as it was a genuine bill for my home phone usage. I was promised to give unlimited calling in my package and hence I switched from Vonage to Bell. I was left with no other choice and had to discontinue my services. Bell would have fixed this problem to show their loyalty towards their customer which could have been long-lasting relationships. Now they don't lose only 1 customer but many intricately as I won't recommend this service to anyone.

    I went into Bell on Thursday Nov 7th and with my ID was able to walk out with 2 new Samsung phones for my husband and I. On Saturday (2 days later) the phones were disconnected. I realized this when I went to call my husband to let him know I was on my way home from work as we live outside of the city. I called Bell when I got home that evening, and after 20 minutes on the phone with them asking me numerous questions to prove who I was, stated I needed to go into a Bell store and provide them with copies of photo ID? Again? It is a long weekend so I had to wait until Tuesday for any store to be open to deal with the issue.

    Today (Tuesday) I go into the same store that I purchased the phones from and the gentlemen working there called Bell. The driver license I brought in along with my sim card, health card and a piece of mail was still not enough to restore service? Now they are asking for 2 pieces of photo ID, along with all of the other ID? Why would they give me a phone and within 72 hours disconnect it? Now I have been without service since Saturday, and made an extra 80 km round trip into the closest city to prove who I am and now they want 2 pieces of photo ID? The gentlemen working at the store was completely blown away with the lack of service that the company he was representing and advised me to look into legal help. I would not recommend Bell to anyone! As they have completely left me in the dark this entire time yet expecting me to hand over more identification. This is not customer service at all!

    Bell is not worth your time or money. From the moment we switched to them as our Internet & TV provider, even before the services were setup/installed, my wife and I have had account issues with being charged for services not requested, to having to add on items we weren't told about from day 1 or didn't think we'd need such as range extenders because the Home hub they use sucks butt and doesn't give you wifi coverage around a small bungalow, etc. etc. etc. I have literally spent countless hours with this useless company. Tech support is hard to get out, account charges seem to pop up everywhere and change from the initial quoted price for the same services, and friends of mine say their pricing is all over the place month compared to hours, month to month.

    It has done nothing but increased in cost since day one because a "promo" is always expiring after the first year, and they try to add on stuff you don't need, in our case a landline phone, to "bring down your price". It went up and I was left with less of a TV bundle than before, only to find out we were actually paying more than other longtime users. 1.5 months after account cancellation and being told we would not be charged, they "accidentally forgot to tell us" about some random charges, and we received another loving bill for $81 as a thank you for putting up with their baloney. Also, they do not stop hounding you after you cancel with cards and promos saying "come back, we have a sweet offer for you and are sorry".

    Bell is a bully in the Canadian marketplace, and they deserve to be turned upside down, and dumped into a garbage bin. Next to Emterra Environmental whom I worked for once upon a time, they have to be one of the worst companies in Niagara/GTA I have ever dealt with. Start.ca is who we have switched to, they have actually dropped our monthly rate since day one, and their customer service is outstanding. You speak to people from the same province too, not from across the world, who can understand everything, and I cannot say how much I have valued this. Want to save a buck and get great service? It'll never be with Bell.

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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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).

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 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.

    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. I finally gave up, you should not have to beg to be a customer for a company. Honestly save yourself and just go with Rogers. What an absolute waste of time.

    The beginning of June 2019 our internet and tv service started acting up. 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.

Over an hour on phone with level 2 tech to fix. Next day another modem showed up at door and when asked why was told my services would be changed over in a couple days. Was impossible to convince Bell the work was already done.

    Rude customer service agent gave me $32 credit for my trouble said it was more than fair. Was told voice mail would take 24 hrs, to set and of course it didn't. Even when I told bell work was suppose to be done and gave the order number I was told it would be done when service man came in couple days. No way could get her to understand. Had to get hold of the tech dept. And again on hold till he fixed voice mail and told me no need for the other appointment. No compensation.

    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 spoke to Bell in July when I noticed these outstanding amounts on my credit report. As usual I was transferred to a few people. They admitted the mistake and offered my 3 months of charges to be cancelled. Of course I said no and told them I do not owe anything so they said someone would call me back. I asked them to call in the evening as I work days. Well everyday in the mid day there was messages from Bell that they would try again.

    I ended up paying the outstanding balance so it would not affect my credit. Well I guess it was too late. My credit now has gone down 150 points by the time I paid it due to it now being a level 5. This is the second time Bell has done this to me. The first time I paid it to save my credit score but now I feel like this is their error and I am not responsible for any charges.

Wait for it no call of an update. Thankfully had a phone from another company to make calls to let family know we were alive and not ignoring them. Call again after 24 hours. Go through phone tree trying each number. With a fast busy or error code 9022.

    Third day someone shows up and everything is working. No apology for the service being down, no explanation as to why it took so long, no indication as to how they would deal with this in the future. Stay clear of this company, fibreop may be very convenient but the customer & technical service is terrible and if you cannot provide 911 in an emergency you should probably let your customers know so they can avoid you.

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.

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.

    I just switched from Rogers (30 years) to Bell (2 months ago) and have been on the phone with them 5 times to correct errors they've made. 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.

    I have had this system with Alarm Force for 3.5 years with no problems. As soon as Bell took over the system has failed to work. The camera only works on occasion. Doorbell does not ring unless button is pushed numerous times. The light on, the doorbell not on, bad at nighttime since it is not easy to locate. I have called the Bell Techs 3 times. Each time they say, "All is in good working order from this end. Do not see a problem," but the system is not working from this end. I am looking now at other security systems, realizing after reading other Bell reviews that any assistance from these guys are useless. Very disappointed.

    This company is absolutely horrible to deal with. They sweet talk you to bring your business over and when an issue arises with billing or service, their customer service reps are so disrespectful and condescending on the phone. They provide horrible service. I have since removed 1 line, internet and tablet. I will now be canceling my last line and moving away from them to go with Telus. This was the most horrible service I have received!! I highly recommend going elsewhere!

The lady never explained me I am going to have contract with Bell. The previous one was without contract, and when I wanted to cancel they told me there are a cancellation fee of 150.

    Since the last 4.5 years, I was with Bell and in 2017 December I completed my contract with a Bell. One of the assistants gave me a false deal and told me that being a loyal customer I am eligible to get the 55$ deal and get free iPhone 5se with 2GB data. Being a student I told him honestly that I could not pay more and made sure this is the plan and will pay for two years. I was happy with 2GB data and 55$ per month. However, when I saw my bill it was 61$ without any data and I was in contract for 2 years.

    When I called Bell customer service they were like there wasn't any plan for 55$ which gives you data and if I need data I have to pay 25$ more for each month. I literally cried but they never helped me and even I requested them that I need to listen to that call and they never answered me. I hate Bell service and will never recommend Bell to anyone. Please never believe them. Even I have more issues they do not know why I got charged and they transferred me to 7 times and was on phone for 3 hours. Still, I am proud of me that I did not lose my temper. End of the story they could not help me.

    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.

    I do not know or understand how Bell Canada is committed for customer service and how customer issue would be resolved. Can't imagine more worse customer service model. As a new potential customer, intended to transfer two phone lines from other service provider. If I am treated this way, I feel sorry for existing customer as how they are treated when needed. I can only conclude that Bell Customer Service is much worse than a customer may think when needed most. I highly recommend to any potential customer to think twice before becoming Bell customer. Bell is not cheap, not about the price but service.

He said after receiving the phone I can call the Customer care and change the number with a one time fee of 35CAD. I was super happy and accepted the offer with 55CAD per month.

    And I received the phone on 11-March and when I called 12-March to change the number, Customer care told me, the whole plan changes from $55 to $75. I was very upset and requested to cancel the line and returned the phone on 13-March. I do have the Canada post receipt which says the phone reached warehouse on 16-March. But I started getting this 55CAD and $35 as installation charges in my March bill. I called the customer care and they said it will be reverted by next bill. Also my old phone is still active, I called again after a week to inform Bell to cancel the line and revert my charges. Which eventually didn't happen.

    Again on 17-April my bill showed up another $55CAD; Again I called and I argued, "What is this happening?"

    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 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?

    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.

    6. I called the Buried Wires Dept. & explained the situation with the driveway. She offered to submit a claim for any damaged bumper on vehicles but stated that Bell would not repair the damage to the driveway as I couldn’t give her an “exact date of the Bell Optic cable installation”. I replied that Bell would have it in their work files. She refused to offer a solution and said “she will not continue to argue the matter.”

    Bell ExpressVu services & support are the very poorest of poor. 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 selected the better programming on bell satellite. Over the last couple months I have lost many channels which I have had from the beginning of my subscription. I called bell and went through many different options of fixing it over the phone to no avail. They had even sent me a new smartcard, to no satisfaction. A supervisor had called me stating they had taken channels away from me because they dont stay the same always. I feel this was nothing but B.S from her. She said if I wanted them back I would have to pay for them. Imagine that paying for them from the beginning, then having them taken away and saying it will cost me to get them back.

    I also spoke to some supervisor in Montreal and he assured me I would get them back (about 30 channels) in about 2 hours. Well it's been a few weeks and still not there.

    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.

    I have been paying for ALT TV for months and never used it. Today my antenna came down and I had no choice but try to watch the news using this service that I've been paying for. It doesn't work... So I call the support number at Bell Canada only to be told the wait time for support is about an hour (news is in 2 minutes - at 10pm.). I miss the news and get a call back from Bell Canada, then sit on hold another 5 min to get someone who asks me a bunch of questions before she can tell me how to use the service. Once I've answered all her questions, she has no clue how to help me (technical support). While being placed on hold after every question, I notice I've been getting charged late payment charges when I'm on their automatic payment plan... They take my payment on the day it is due and yet they are still charging me a late fee?????

    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... If my company treated customers this way, I'd be out of business, how do they do this and remain in business? I've been writing 15 minutes while on hold again for a supervisor.... WTF

    They will always attract you with a good deal and here it begins. Usually the deal is a bundle, and every month they will increase the prices in the name of infrastructure cost on EACH SERVICE YOU HAVE, then you have to pay $200 more per year. 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. They lower prices but they will increase again every month always finding excuses. I was stupid to leave Rogers. Do no trust them. (Cheaters).

    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.

When I received the January bill there was a $25.00 charge on it for the movie channel. I didn't want to waste energy on it so I paid the bill and cancelled the movie channel.

    I then realized that I didn't watch 95 % of the channels and you can get Amazon or Netflix for a fraction of the price. So I called the beginning of March to Cancel. I said, "Cancel it on the date that my accounts paid too." They said okay, and at the end of the month it was canceled. A few weeks later I get a bill for $61.90 and then a letter. I called and was given more ** so I just paid it again. I would never recommend anyone that misleads and lies to their customers. I've wasted enough time on this.

Every day when I call Bell an employee will let me know they need another 24 hours to fix the problem. It is very annoying that they have the same answer every day.

    2. I'm even more unhappy with the way my case is handled: no compassion towards my problem. They make me feel that I'm asking too much, and they want me to believe that it is a normal procedure.

    3. I would appreciate if at least somebody honestly would tell me what is going on.

    4. I would suggest to Bell to work on customer service/care, how to handle complaint. If somebody, a person, a company make a mistake I would expect them to at least fess up and apologize and make the wronged person feel that they do everything they can to fix the problem!!!! Not doing that it really compounds the bad feeling towards Bell. Hate to think that Bell is too big of a company to care...but this is the feeling I'm getting.

    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.

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.
