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.
Some links may earn us a commission. How we make money.
Lucky Mobile is to Bell what chatr is to Rogers: the prepaid brand you use when you want service on the big network without a contract. We are taking Bell's description at face value and not padding it with plan prices from comparison sites.
Buy the SIM, keep the receipt, and test calls and data the same day so you can return it if the phone is incompatible. If you later want a postpaid Bell plan, you can move, but that is a new credit decision.
Anyone who wants prepaid service. Bring ID to register the SIM, which Canadian carriers are required to do.
Start from Bell's note and then open Lucky Mobile's own plan page for the current price. Do not rely on a price quoted only by a reseller.
Bell's current bring-your-own-phone page lists in-market prices, including a 100 GB plan shown at $60 a month and an unlimited plan with U.S. and Mexico shown at $75. These are not labelled as newcomer discounts.
