      My problem with Bell Mobility's billing department is that it doesn't send me a monthly bill to my Bell Onebill e-mail account. I can't pay a bill if I don't know what it is. When I don't pay the bill, they cut off my service and send my account to a collection service, which proceeds to damage my credit rating. I am willing and able to pay the monthly bill if they would send it to me.

      Good Afternoon,
      To whom it may concern.
      I have had the worst experience with Bell Canada, I have 3 mobility Device’s & 3 smart watches, home internet & TV streaming service, the understanding of contract is not clear ever, there is a major language barrier with pretty much every employee, to the point that the employee will literally start being **** because I have to ask he/she to repeat their self. I have been told one thing & another employee will say something completely, they do not honour they price’s at all when asked to follow up with their “recording” every interaction is literally no less then an hour. I’m single mother with a 10 year old with a disability. I’ve had to post pone meeting’s & conferences because I’m stuck on the phone. They don’t have one person to help it’s department wait department wait, this company has a road block everywhere to not help their customer’s I have been waiting for a replacement device I was promised from tech support there’s no note’s payment arrangement’s are not processed, when I call in to double check no we do don’t have a record of that sorry the previous employee didn’t document it so basically to bad I’ve literally been on the phone crying it pushes you to that point. I would really appreciate help from the BBB I just can’t handle it anymore it’s to much.


      Kind Regards

      I have a corporate account with bell. I went to turkey and Saudia Arabia for a family trip. When I was arrived at Istanbul airport, I got the message on my two phones, welcome to Istanbul then I put my phones on airplane mode same as in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The next month when, I received my bill I was charged roaming from Istanbul as well Riyadh $139.00. I did not use a single minute on both my phones. I called the customer service and explained the situation and request to fix my bill, but they did not listened.

      Thanks

      Husband is military and deployed on a short notice deployment for 6 months, he contacted Bell prior to leaving the week of April 24-Bell would not agree to suspending the account
      I contacted bell again today, May 1st, requesting that the account be held for 6 months and that the remainder of the 6 months be added to the end of the contract- would not do anything to be helpful and solve problem, and would not transfer call to a higher manager.
      We understand that there is still a payment on the device, and just want to have it paused for 6 months while he cannot use his phone overseas, and then add that time to the end of the contact

      Hello,

      I took Bell internet and mobile services and cancelled with in 10days. When i called to cancel the first agent said since you are returning within 10 days there will be no charges. I still go ahead and paid $119.02 since i don't want to show up as a late payment on my credit bureau, that agent promised it will be refunded to the credit card, and never did.

      I called 2 weeks later, nice agent said he will return the internet portion only as i have to call for mobile separately.

      Meanwhile, another bill showed up on my Bell app for $34.27 and I paid again and today April 28th showing another bill is getting ready.

      I called 1-800-667-0123 and spoke to Rye and he has no clue what he was doing, and asked for a manager and he said he will explain but he just cold transferred and I got a new agent Drew on the line, wasted 15 mins explaining again but no use he said he was an agent only, then he promised he will explain to a manager but a supervisor came on line at 9:15am and she has no clue, i had to start again from the verification.

      She said after arguing for 10 mins she said that $119.02 returned asked me to call my bank to know when the payment is going to be processed. I am not sure how can a credit card company knows about their refund?

      And she kept saying that i will have to pay $34.27 because i used the phone for 10 days. She wouldn't listen and when i asked her ID and asked to transfer above she just hung up.

      Could you please investigate into this matter, before I get another bill.

      thank you

      Dear ***** *************,


      On behalf
      of Bell Mobility, I would like to thank you for taking the time to reach out to
      us and allow us the opportunity to review your concern. 

      Bell Mobility is confirming the following:

      Further to your CCTS complaint concerning texting usage charges, Bell exceptionally applied a credit for $110.20 on April 3rd.  At this time, we suggested you review your apps and/or proceed to a factory reset.

      The remaining balance was then $488.42

      Your last bill dated April 18th showed your unpaid balance plus your current monthly charges for $218.00.

      Your balance was then $706.42 and you made a partial payment of $100. Your current balance is $606.42.

      $382.87 is past due.

      Best
      regards,

      I phoned bell and told the person I can’t afford to pay it all at once. The lady said it would be ok. Considering I shouldn’t have to pay this much at all, they should have the decency to understand that. They will get payments over time. But financially I am struggling

      Bell charged me for roaming services while I was in the US for three weeks. Roaming services never worked, and they charged me 100s of dollars for it.

      Now I cannot get a credit for the roaming service charges.

      Date: 01/05/2023

      Hi Mr ******, 

      I noticed that since you sent in this request that Bell has credited you in full for all roaming charges on your account. 

      Is there anything else we can assist you with at this time?

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:  I was out in the US for a full 3 weeks without any cell service. and the best Bell can offer is a credit for services they did not provide.  Not satisfied with Bell's response to this incident, especially since I spent a total of 7.5 hours on 8 separate calls with bell, 3 hours troubleshooting and 4.5 hours trying to get a resolution to the issue. This is not acceptable,

      Hi Mr. ******, 

      Your original complaint was that you could not get credited for the roaming charges that you were charged. We have credited you for those charges in full even though there was some roaming usage while you were in the U.S.

      Since we have credited you in full for your roaming charges we are unable to credit you any further at this time.

      Complaint: ********


      I am rejecting this response because: you do not appear to be familiar with the case.  I was present in the US for 3 weeks unable to call my family nor do any work with my computer tethered to my phone.  I made it clear on the multiple calls that my roaming did not work.  You credited me for a service that was not provided, you have not credited me for 3 weeks of inconvenience, for the 7 hours total call time with Bell to attempt to resolve this issue, the time writing over and over again to you, the 3 weeks unable to call my family, the 3 weeks unable to get in contact with me in the destination cities, the multiple hang ups from your call agents because they did not know how to manage the issue..  I get better service from restaurants that make a small impact mistakes and offer to credit my bill- they go further than Bell for a loyal customer that has been with you for over 10 years with no prior history of complaints.

      No I do not accept your feeble attempt to right the wrong your technology could not support.

      I was on a contract for 2 years with Bell mobility with the option to return my device after the 2 years was up and I would receive the credit of $444 for the device return on my bill. I was told it may take 1-2 Bill cycles. I went to the Bell dealer to return the device on December 8/2022. I have pictures of the forms the dealer filled out at the time to return the device because he told me he would not be able to give me a copy of them because their systems were down. 4 bill cycles have now passed and the credit still has not been applied. I have been receiving 2-3 calls a day from Bell Collections regarding this. I have been making $20 payments each month since the account was cancelled because I did have an outstanding amount to pay but wasn’t sure of the exact amount until the credit was applied. This bill has been charged interest because it hasn’t been paid in full. I have contacted Bell Mobility on a biweekly basis to have this fixed and they keep saying it will be dealt with in the next 4-7 business days. And still nothing has been resolved.
      I also took pictures of the device before they took it to prove it was in excellent condition when I returned it. They have since instructed me to return to the dealer to have them call Bell Mobility to confirm they accepted the device from me.
