What we could verify
- Select 100 GB with U.S. roaming is shown at $60 a month for new activations when you bring your own phone. Bell shows a higher regular price of $85 beside it.
- Ultra unlimited with U.S. and Mexico roaming is shown at $75 a month on the same page.
- Bell's footnotes say those offers are for new activations, smartphones, and bring-your-own-phone. Multi-line averages on the page also assume bundle and autopay credits.
- We did not find a separate newcomer price list on Bell's English plans pages. A French URL with 'nouveaux arrivants' in the path was a switch offer for Freedom customers, not a newcomer package.
Bell belongs in a newcomer directory because it is one of the three national networks, not because we found a special immigrant rate. The prices above were on the public BYOD page on the day we checked. They can be gone next week. The $60 and $75 figures are the ones printed as the current monthly price, and Bell is explicit that credits are involved. Ask the store to show the price before credits and after.
Bell's prepaid page says Bell no longer sells new prepaid activations, and it sends you to Lucky Mobile for prepaid without a credit check. If your file is empty, read that listing before you sit through a postpaid credit check. Bell also says devices that rely on its 3G network will not be supported starting March 1, 2027, so an older unlocked phone may need to be replaced.
Who it is for
New activations, bring your own compatible phone. Bell will ask for ID and may run a credit check on a postpaid plan. That check is not waived anywhere we could verify.
How to act on it
Check bell.ca for the current BYOD price, then activate in store or online if your phone supports eSIM. Get the price in writing if it includes a bill credit.

Lucky Mobile
Lucky Mobile prepaid
Bell no longer opens new prepaid accounts. Its prepaid page sends new customers to Lucky Mobile and says those plans have no long-term commitment, no credit check, and no data overages.
