Bell increased my mobility bill without any prior notice, claiming my plan was “upgraded” even though I never approved any changes. When I called to complain, the representative was rude, dismissive, and completely unempathetic. I was even told that if I wasn’t happy, I should leave the network.

To make it worse, the so-called “upgrade” hasn’t improved service at all — I still experience poor network coverage, especially on the train. Bell seriously needs to work on transparency, communication, and customer service. This experience was very frustrating.

What went right is a better question. I'm into my third hour of trying to set up my father who lives in a retirement home with a landline. We ended up with 2 separate activations, 1 of them for streaming services that he already has as part of the bundle. This was the absolutely worst experience I've ever had. A new low for Bell, if that is even possible.

INCOMPETENCE IS THE NEW NORM!

INCREDIBILE. Paying $230/month for TV, Home Phone and Internet AND BEING AGGRAVATED BY TOTALLY INCOMPETENT SUPPORT, We had a BELL TV technician offer to relocate our Sat Dish for $250 as a private contractor. He comes back as a BELL TV technician because there's no signal and turns around and says, THERE IS NO SATELLITE SIGNAL!!!! The same guy who got paid $250 cash charged $75 for the follow up visit with BELL!!!!! Today, we tried calling support to access TV through the internet. The Agent kept trying to resolve the matter as if it were a Sat connection. When I asked to speak to someone in charge, he hung up! WTF is Bell coming to???? This is a joke. As if Rogers is any better. Will look into smaller companies. Unbelievable professional standards.

They’re incompetent.

I would literally rather stare at a blank screen at this point than pay Bell for satellite TV.

Worst customer service by far. Wanted me to wait 17 days before coming to service my satellite and I live within the third largest city in the province so it’s not like I was asking them to come to Resolute.

Go anywhere else. If nowhere else exists do without. Trash company.

Get the deal - pay twice the price!

The Bell website offers you phone upgrade and presents it as an incredible deal with the plan - Samsung S25 Ultra at 25 bucks a month with the plan. Sounds good! But they list below the device full price at 2300CAD. You can buy this phone today from manufacturer directly at 1250. They were never able to offer you anything that demonsrates at least minimal interest in client's loyalty. They do not care!

I have been a Bell customer for the past two years. While Bell’s network quality, especially 5G, is good, my experience with billing and customer service has been extremely disappointing.

Previously, I was paying $72 per month, which included both my device lease and mobile plan. At the end of the lease term, I made multiple attempts over two months to contact customer service to pay the device buyout amount and properly close the contract, but I did not receive clear responses or follow-up.

It is ridiculous and illogical to assume that a customer who was paying $72 for both a plan and a device would be willing to pay $95 plus tax for a plan alone. Nevertheless, without my consent or any prior notification, my plan was automatically continued and changed to a $95 per month plan plus tax. I only became aware of this after receiving my bill. As a result, my current bill is $676, which is very high and unreasonable.

Although Bell provides good network coverage, the lack of transparency, poor communication, and expensive billing practices have made this a frustrating experience. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Bell plans to anyone.

Total disappointment

Total disappointment. On recommendations of one of the associates, took the bell plan with the understanding, they will remove the connection charges of $80,as mentioned by the associate. When talked to the customer service, they totally refused and advised to pay whole amount, including connection fee. Cut long story short, lost my previous service provider and here forced to pay more. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN DEALING WITH BELL.

Great Bell speed

I received an unexpected, but good call from Bell telling me that my previous subscription contract would be expiring in a few months. Caller was a guy called Jon. He was very good and did not want to lose me as a loyal customer. He told me that after the expiry, my payment will lose the subsidy previously offered, but promised he can offer the same low payment indefinitely if I stay with Bell. Of course, this caught my attention. I did suggest I get time to think as there are many competitors, but he tried and was very understanding, then made some adjustments. Anyway, without going into many details, I even upgraded to the super fast 3 gigabit speed for a bit more payment. I am so glad Jon did not give up on me when I said I needed time to think. This new service is super fast. Thank you! Jon is a great worker, was not pushy, but polite and convincing. I'm very happy and will continue to stay with Bell for a long time. Thumbs up from me!
