bell mobility help

WerewolfRedX666 · April 16, 2011, 04:09:19 AM

so im looking to get rid of my crappy phone and the phone i want is only available through bell mobility, wich would cause me to loeave my current provider Telus. Can anyone who has had first hand experience with Bell or knows someone that has dealt with them please tell me whether or not it would be worth getting into a contract with them.

Bell has horrible service, stick with Telus to keep your retention or go to Rogers. They are the best two carriers in BC IMO.

You could always get an unlocked version of the phone and still be able to stay with Telus o:

What Hunny said. Run like doom as fast away from Bell as you can. Bloody evil 'provider' who recently tried to gouge Canada with a 3,000% mark-up on bandwidth. No joke.

Having been with telus for the past 15 years, and having changed to bell about 4 months ago, and having a rogers phone that company paid for over 4 years, can say that unless you stay strictly in larger cities, rogers service sucks big time, that phone was always the first to loose signal. As far as coverage betwen telus and bell, they both use the same towers in bc so service is identical betwen the two, and work in the highest number of areas in bc. All cell phone companies are evil and try stupid crap like increasing fees 3000%.

which is why ive been n pay and talk through telus for the past.... actually ive only ever been on pay and talk. which is nice cause i only spend about $25- $30 a month so i can have unlimited texting and some minutes in case family or someone calls but i kindo of want to get a better phone and androids look more fun and have more free stuff, though i could always just get on the iphone bandwagon but i dont really like the iphone all to much though it looks like an alright phone

Go with Wind, get the Nexus S, pay the 375, get the 45 buck plan. Unless you're travelling outside of their coverage a lot, it's probably the best choice in the long run.

oh the atrix looks so cool, WANT!! :P. i would just wait for a bit , Telus will prolly get them shortly.

or a better phone will come out and telus will get it

Acco · April 22, 2011, 01:44:07 PM

I doubt that telus will get the atrix. Bells probably got exclusitivity on the device.

If anything, telus is likely to get future htc devices. The got both the desire and the desire s, so...

well i got the milestone from Telus when it first came out, so i know you can get motorola products from them
