Bell cuts roaming prices for Bermuda, Caribbean islands


MONTREAL – With winter just around the corner, Bell has cut its mobile roaming rates to popular sun destinations including Bermuda and many Caribbean islands.

The company said that starting Wednesday, travellers to Aruba, Antigua, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Martinique, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks & Caicos, St. Barts, St. Martin, St. Lucia and more can buy a travel bundle for $50, reduced from $95, for specified amount of calls, text and data, while the add-on package for heavy users will cost $75, down from $125.

"Canadians told us they want to use their smartphones a lot when they travel, and they want the price to come down”, said Bell Mobility president Wade Oosterman, in Tuesday’s announcement.  “We've listened, and Bell continues to work with our international telecom suppliers to reduce the cost of international roaming for Canadian consumers."

The move comes on the heels of last month’s announcement where Bell slashed its U.S. roaming rates.
