MONTREAL – With many of its major markets now deregulated, Bell Canada today announced today announced Home Phone has been added to its bundle of offerings in Quebec.
With the inclusion of Home Phone packages in the Bell Bundle, new and existing customers can save up to $25 every month on their communications services.
Until deregulation, Bell had limitations on how it could make such an offer and Videotron, with a very low priced local phone offer, has been able to take over half a million phone customers. The release did not say when the offer might come to other Bell regions, where phone competition is not quite so price-fierce.
"In May, we responded to consumer requests for household savings and simplicity by introducing the Bell Bundle. We are now further enhancing our offer and adding savings on Home Phone packages," said Kevin Crull, president, Bell Residential Services, in the press release. "Recent Federal Government and CRTC decisions have allowed Bell to offer even more competitive prices to meet growing demand for industry leading products, services and savings."
With the enhanced Bell Bundle, new and existing customers can now save $5 on each and every Bell service, up to $25 per month. To qualify and start saving every month, customers just need to bundle two or more of Bell’s eligible service plans.
The enhanced Bell Bundle is now available in all areas of Quebec recently deregulated by the CRTC, which represents 87% of the province, including Montreal, Quebec City, Trois-Rivieres, Sherbrooke and Chicoutimi. As a special promotion, Bell will offer consumers in the remainder of Quebec the possibility to add home phone to a Bell Bundle if they sign up by December 31, 2007.
