System access fees continue to be eliminated, this time with Solo


MISSISSAUGA – Solo Mobile is rolling out new rate plans and have added two more smartphones to their roster in time for the holidays, the company announced today.

The flip smartphone Samsung CLEO will now be exclusive to Solo, and the BlackBerry Pearl is also available. Two new rate plans called “Unbeatable” and “Solo in the City” promise competitive rates and options, says the company release.

"Solo Mobile always offers the very best value in Canadian wireless. Now we’ve sweetened the deal further still with new pricing on our Unbeatable and Solo in the City plans – including waiving System Access Fee and 911 charges – to underline we offer Canada’s most affordable rates," said Wade Oosterman, president of Bell Mobility and CBO for Bell Canada, owner of the Solo brand.

Both Fido and Solo have joined Telus’ Koodo, as wireless brands with no system access fee.

"We’re looking forward to competing with these enhanced Solo value plans and our new smartphones in the busy fourth-quarter holiday sales season, which accounts for more than a third of total wireless growth each year."
