Travel within Canada

Traveling with your Blackberry or iPhone? Here are some things you need to be aware of: With Bell as your carrier you have access to Canada's largest 3G network. Inside Canada costs are not accrued for roaming charges when making and receiving calls, sending and receiving text messages or email.

Travel outside Canada

Expensive roaming charges can occur when traveling outside of Canada with a mobile device. The best way to avoid these is to turn off your data service while traveling, and only use your phone in case of emergency or as an emergency contact. Turning off the data service does not affect the phone use.
