Bell in store service

Hey, i went into one of bell store located in pinecentre mall, prince george, bc. When i was there earlier today to switch my accounts from fido to bell i was served by this really nice lady who explained about the deals that bell has going on right under which i was gonna get about 200$ off of a brand new note 9 when going on a 2 year plan which will be 90$ plus taxes a month with 2gb data. I told her that let me think about it and ill come back later and buy the phone. So she ported my phone number from fido to bell. I come back a few hours later and that lady was gone but there was this new girl "kat" really rude like she had no interest in selling me the phone. And she "kat" told me that now im not able to upgrade my phone for another 3 months since its already activated. While i brought my phone and all that lady from earlier morning did was sell me the sim card itself. Now im stuck coz i paid 30$ activation fee which wont be refunded most likely and she "kat" very rudely said that i could go ahead and dump that sim and get a new sim and pay for the activation fee all over again and plus i wont be given my old number again coz it has to be a new one... well all in all i cannot appreciate that service at all. If you guys care about your customers at all than i suggest please look into it. Thankyou.

Bell home internet service

Worst Customer Service from the BELL and customer representatives dont understand the concerns of the client.

I am a loyal customer of the BELL in a good standing. However, with the offer applied on my account got expired I need to call the BELL to discuss if they have any new offer for the loyal customers. At first, they denied and said we don't have any existing offer and with no courtesy to the customer I thought this is being rude I asked to cancel the services immediately.
Then I received the call from retention department that we can offer you a deal which was $35 for fibe 100 plan for first 5 months and after that it will be unlimited for $45. However, when the technician visited to setup the services it was not available in the area and none of the port from the BELL was vacant to activate the services for me.
A case manager was assigned and he never bothered to call me and update that the services cant be enabled and we can offer something else or not. It was every time that I need to call and explain this s**t to each and every customer rep. I was following up.
Now, they dont have any offer to retain the customer and that being said I have cancelled the services with BELL and wont accept this customer behavior with them which was paining for almost 4 weeks.

Bell bell mobility canada

Hi Last August 2018, we upgrade our phone to iphone 8, both iphone 8, Bell charge us $700 plus. I call them about the plan coz according to the guy we will only pay $400.00 including our early upgrade. When the billing came on my email I was charged of $700.00 plus, I call them and they sorry for the wrong billing. They charged me $503 which I pay the full amount.

Another billing come just today and they charge me for $283.00 . My regular bill supposed to be $195.00, we did'nt do outside Canada call or any international call which we know we will get extra charge for that. I call representative and there's another mistake on the billing.

Bell illegally charges us for we don't know. They should be aware on this or else thay will lose many customers for unreasonable charges.

Bell unauthorized credit card charges

I called Bell to lower my bills as i am now disabled as well as knowing that others in my home are paying much less then me for better devices and more data and we agreed to 5gbs for 113 after tax. they took the 113$ and only gave me 3gbs instead of the promised 5gbs. I was then told i would receive a a refund of the 113$ and that there would be a 10$ per month discount applied to my account. they took the 133$ out with out notifying me they would do so, they actually told me that my bill would be changed and the balance would be zero for that month and they withdrew the funds anyways. they gave me more excuses and told me they'd fix it but couldn't reinstate the plan i was on previously but my bills would be lower with the appropriate amount o data. got my bill and instead of lowering it by 10 they increased it by 12 something. This is nothing short of theft under 500$ and i am pretty sure that selling an advertised item for an advertised price and then giving a lesser item is against the law in Ontario.

Bell our last bill

I have had so much rude service when I was with bell. They actually almost laughed at me on the phone. So unprofessional. There needs to be changes in the customer service department. I also tried to talk to them about my bill and it was the first time they didn't want to do anything and we were loyal customers for more than 5 years. I do not want to pay for the final bill, due to treatment and manner in which respect wasn't there.

Bell customer service

So one of your work trucks hit the back of my car, today, I got out and chased them, they saw me and still drove off .. after trying to find them I gave up I went to the nearest bell store who were helpful, as I said to them its not their fault, I was just looking for a number to call so I could one, log the actions of said employs and to report what happened . so I called the number for customer service only to get told nope I am foolish to call there we don't deal any works department or repair services, we don't deal with that . I asked for a number of said department only to get a refusal and then told have a nice day and hung the phone up, ...… As a huge company you would of thought that your staff were trained in how to talk to client's rather than treat them as a fool … its also sad that your work force shares the same view, meaning committing a hit and run is a crime and is now in the hands of the police … I will never use bell as of this and will also tell others not to use it ...sad for such a huge Canadian company to act like this, but then again we are just a number for them, we are just here to pay over the odds for service and for customer care

Bell fibre optic installation

while installing the new fibre optic lines at 426 Boismier Ave my sprinkler system has been damaged...this needs to be repaired as quickly as possible since 1) I need to be able to use it and 2) it will need to be winterized within the next couple of weeks. Repairs cannot be delayed until they are finished as it appears that completion is a ways away. Please advise asap as to when I can expect repairs.

Bell reconnection

To whom this my concern,

My name is Shane Gouveia [protected] and I am a returning customer of 10 or more years. I was out of the Country for the pass 4 years, now that I am back in Canada I called bell to reconnect my service. To my surprise, I was told I am now required to make a $ 200.00 Deposit base on a current credit check. This was explained to me as policy and they cannot change it. Bell Canada is this how you treat a returning customer after all these years ? Where is your customer appreciation and loyalty ? Just to be clear I believe BELL CANADA needs to revise this policy, so this does not happen to anyone else.

Thanks
Shane

Bell unauthorized credit check - home internet

Dear team,

My Order Number is R27L43R6.

I placed an order for Home Internet on 4th of September 2018. I was concerned that my drivers license number was requested so I chose not to complete the order.

I called the customer service again later same day and was told the Drivers license or credit card number was just a perfunctory check and nothing to worry about, I got assurance and assumed this was a soft check that would not impact my credit scores or show on my records. I gave my drivers license number and completed the order.

I am highly displeased and perturbed that a hard check was carried out by Bell Canada on my credit record on the 5th of September without explicitly stating this.

I have called several times to request this be cancelled and removed from my record, to no avail.

I am left with no other choice than to take this up legally.

Regards

Bell bell mobility service is really bad..

I received many phone calls from Bell mobility, actually I'm with them now.
I missed about 6~7 times and I called back.

They don't know why they called me, and the agent on the phone transferred me to another department about new activation.

The agent of new activation asked me, "why did you call this number? Do you have any plan to add a line or new activation?"

How did they don't know why they called me?

Bell no services working

I wish to file a complaint regarding my problem with Bell Canada. It is now day 3 with no service at my home. No, phone, no TV, no computer. A repair person came Tuesday and stayed until 7 PM, connected a phone and claimed someone would be back at 8 AM the following morning. I waited all morning and when I phoned to confirm the appointment I was told no one was coming but that a supervisor would call. NO ONE called, NO ONE came and we are still without services. You know my monthly bill with Bell is over $600 for the three accounts I pay for my children and myself and for that amount I expect better service. I would at least expect to be contacted if an appointment was cancelled. I am furious at the way I have been treated. I have wasted HOURS on the phone. I await your reply to solve my problem.

Bell terrible customer, service unethical behaviour

I switched to bell from rogers about a year ago because they were having a good promotion at the time. I had no issues from them until it came time to renew a new promo which was expiring on Aug 25. I had called a month in advance(beginning of Aug to avoid overcharges)in which I was told I would get a call back (it never happened). So I called again a few days later and was told to call on Aug 25 (when my promo expired) to look at other promos. So Aug 25 came I called and yet again was told to wait 5-7 days for a call back. Are you fu**in kidding me!? I don't understand why they can't deal with you from the time you call. They then transferred me to the loyalty department because I was getting irritated so finally (after a very long discussion -__-) they were able to give me a new promo which would have totalled $147.86 (was paying $128 before) for 24months. So fast forward to Sept 5 when my bill came totalling $192.19...I called yet again this time to ask about the overcharge and was dealt with an extremely rude and incompetent agent. I was basically told that the charges are valid due to the expiration of the promo and that "I should've called to avoid these types of things". Really bud?...like really?. Their customer service is a joke. I shouldn't have to call more than once to get an answer and BELL, next time write your notes properly because YES I DID CALL 3 times actually so you can go back and listen to the recordings. BELL, you need to work on your customer service skills or you will lose all your customers. Now that I look back I completely regret leaving rogers...now i'm stuck in a contract with these people...lesson learned...

Bell no internet or slow internet - bell account #[protected]

This problem has been ongoing for a year. Every time I use the internet it is either slow (extremely slow) or not working. I have had several technicians to the house. They have identified the problem to be the line between the Bell station and the neigh hood in which I live. They have checked the house numerous times and each time, they conclude the same thing, nothing is wrong or non functional, nothing in the house is contributing to the lack of service or slow service.
I pay internet service for speeds up to 5.0 MBSP. However, the speeds I have are typically less than 10% of what I should be getting, (around 0.2 MBPS to 0.4 MBPS). They have acknowledged that because of the line degradation, I will never get 5.0 MBPS. Because of the line issues, they have turned down the speed to at most get 2.2 MBPS. When they fix the problem, I will get fleeting moments of speeds up to 2.0 MBPS. But the next day, it is back to 0.2 MBPS. I have copies and records of the issues from almost a year.
I have been very patient with Bell, and have been very understanding with their situation. But they have never tried to resolve the problem.
I am wits end, and unless Bell will take concrete steps to resolve this, I will take this matter through other channels.
If you could help, I'd greatly appreciate your assistance.
Thank you,
Robert Andrews

Since this last writing, Bell Canada called to inquire further, they again confirmed line degradation. And they said "Engineering will not fix the problem. It is not worth it to them." I called the billing department and asked them why I am paying for service up to 5.0 MBPS when I am only receiving 10% of this? I can understand paying for full service if the speed was 75-80 % of what they advertise, but 10%? They put me on hold and then 3 minutes later, disconnected the call. It is time for Plan B. Any good lawyers out there?

Bell fibreop telephone package

We signed up for a fibre op bundle almost 3 years ago. This included fibre op telephone, tv and internet. A technician visited our home today to service our internet. While he was here I mentioned to him that we have been experiencing a lot of static on our home phone for months, to the point we rarely use it. He checked the phone line for us and discovered it was never changed to fibre op. It is still the old copper system. We have been paying for fibre op phone line since October 2015 but have not had that service. I called the sales department and she arranged for a technician to come in to change the system on September 5th, one month before our 3 year bundle ends. No refund for service was offered. We will take this in to consideration when our bundle ends in October.

Bell internet / tv

bell is the WORST!
I have just spent 45min, AGAIN 3rd time in 2 months!, to resolved the harassment I am getting from bell over my CLOSED ACCOUNT!
This account was closed over 2 months ago. That alone was an ordeal!
AFTER receiving my "final" invoice... invoices kept coming! and growing!
Magically a final payment due of 70$ became almost 300$!? Because some incompetent did not close my account correctly!
It took 2 more 45 min calls to rectify.
I got another "final" invoice (that was 15$ TOO HIGH) and was about to pay it... BUT... lo and behold... an invoice for 290$!?!?!
Now after the 3rd 45min call they agree that the "original final" invoice is correct!
Now here's the horrible punch-line... the incompetent at bell tells me that she doesnt know if there will be more invoices!
I have never ever see this level of [censored]ic incompetence or lack of communication between departments or sheer F-up in any kind of major company!
I felt like I was dealing with an organization in the 3rd world run by illiterate children!
I would recommend at all costs to avoid them!

Bell new installation of fibre internet

Re: Q95U55Q8

Aug 23 internet was installed, they ran the cable inside the garage up the stairs and left the modem on my luggage. Needless to say the top floor of our home is not able to pick up the internet. Technician advise us to purchase a router to correct the problem.
You think they would of told me this before installation. Went to Bell store they informed me to purchase pods @$5.00 per month but they could not sell them to me as they had to be programed.
Next day contacted Bell, she told me stop complaining at least I have the internet on the first floor, then hung up. I received an email advising me that they would be hand delivered Aug 26 between 8 - 5. Never received them. Aug 27 contacted Bell again, well, it usually takes 5 - 7 days before I would received them. Yesterday I filed a complaint did I receive a call back. No!

Aug 28 nothing again, not even a phone call.
This is how you run a business. Unreal!

Bell crave tv

Hello, I am reaching out to you as I could not find any contact information other than by phone. I wanted to reach out by e-mail as I don't have time to be on hold and I wasn't needing an immediate response.
So I guess my first question is do you have any customer service e-mail correspondence available?
My second question or rather complaint for lack of a better word is the Crave App has different information than when I go to Crave on my TV. The issue is that the show Grimm shows (under details) that the show is available until Feb 17, 2036 and on the Crave App it shows it's available only until August 31, 2018.
Although it's extremely frustrating when you decide to binge a show and now can't get anywhere near finishing, I'm really contacting Bell to let them know to have the TV info correct as that will help decide what to watch.
