Bell offers $75/20GB unlimited data plan for a limited time

Bell seems to be matching Telus' new 20GB promo. The carrier is dropping its 20GB for $95 plan to $75 a month for 24 months. That is before you add on the price of your phone. This particular plan is for "Bring your own device" customers and those who are upgrading or activating a new gadget with Bell's SmartPay device financing plan.  

If you use up your 20GB data allotment, then your unlimited data usage will be throttled down to 3G speeds. The plan doesn't seem to be on Bell's website at the moment, but MobileSyrup contacted the carrier's customer service, and they confirmed that the offer is available. It isn't known how long Bell will be offering this plan.

Bell shifts to eBills in 2020

Bell is going paper-less in the coming year. The company confirmed with MobileSyrup that it would be opting for paperless billing in 2020. Most of the current customers already receive electronic bills. But for those who still get paper bills, they will start getting notifications about the transition. But the carrier confirms that customers who have no access to the internet or an email address will continue to receive their paper bills without extra charges.
