Frequently Asked Questions

Ordering and Processing

How long does it take to process an order?

Orders typically take 3-10 business days to process, assuming all details are correct, the product is in stock, and the Bell Mobility credit check for new activations is approved. Delays may occur if incomplete information is provided or if the device is pre-ordered. Once processed, shipping generally takes 1-2 business days.

How and when will I receive my device?

A signature is required upon delivery, so please ensure availability at the provided address from Monday to Friday, between 8 AM and 5 PM.

How do I activate my device after receiving it?

For new activations with new numbers, your device will arrive pre-activated with a new phone number. Ensure to fully charge your device and confirm call functionality. If you are porting a number from another carrier or upgrading your hardware with a new SIM card, you must contact your EPP representative epp@umobi.ca to complete the activation process. For hardware upgrades with an existing SIM card, simply insert your SIM into the new device as directed.

Is there a long-term commitment?

Contract terms apply to access applicable rebates and secure the lowest price. You can select your preferred purchase terms during the online order process.

Is there a penalty for canceling my contract early?

Yes, if you cancel outside of the return and exchange window. By placing your order, you enter into a contract with Bell Mobility, which may include a cancellation fee. For more details, please refer to Bell Mobility’s Terms of Service.

Can I get promotional discounts if I ordered before the offer started?

Promotional discounts are only valid within the specified timeframe. We cannot backdate offers or price match. However, if a promotion is introduced after your order is placed but before it is processed, we will attempt to apply the discount.

My Number and Services

Can I choose my phone/device number?

We cannot guarantee an exact number, but we will try to accommodate requests for specific last four digits. Due to number availability, this may not always be possible.

Why didn’t I get my requested area code?

Area code selection is not guaranteed, as the available number pool may be limited.

Can I get a local number if I live outside a major city?

Yes, during the order process, specify your desired city or the nearest major urban center for your phone/device number.

Billing Network

I purchased a device as a gift. Will I be charged for the entire month?

Activations cannot be delayed. The device will be shipped activated, and charges will begin from the shipping date, even if the device isn’t used immediately. To avoid unnecessary charges, we recommend discussing purchase options with your EPP representative before placing your order.

What charges will be on my monthly bill?

Your monthly bill includes a one-time connection or hardware processing fee (if applicable), your chosen monthly plan, federal and provincial taxes, and any additional charges like long-distance, roaming, and mobile browser usage. If you ordered a device via the Smart Pay option, the device charge will also be included for the term.

When will my monthly bill date start?

Your bill date starts on the day the line is activated. Since your phone is active when shipped, no credits can be issued for shipping delays.

When will my bill arrive, and when is payment due?

Bills are posted monthly. To avoid late fees, we recommend paying immediately upon receipt, allowing 4-6 days for processing. Payments not received within 30 days of the statement date will incur late fees.

Can any number be ported?

Not all numbers are eligible for transfer. Numbers that cannot be ported include inactive numbers, those from regions that do not support transfers, and numbers that you are not authorized to transfer.

Can I keep my number if I move to a different city?

Yes, but additional calling charges may apply.

Will I need a new phone when transferring my business number to Bell?

You will need a new rate plan, but you can use an existing device if it is Bell-compatible or unlocked. A new Bell SIM card will be required.

Will my voicemail and features carry over when transferring to Bell?

Only your phone number transfers. Previous service provider features will be disconnected.

Can I transfer my number if I’m under contract with my current provider?

Yes, you can transfer at any time. However, review your current service contract to check for any cancellation fees or outstanding balances.

Is there a charge to transfer my number to Bell?

No additional fee is charged for number transfer, but you will be responsible for any obligations with your previous provider.

Dead on Arrival (DOA) devices: Exchange for the same model within 15 days.

Repairs, and Warranties

Do I get a warranty with my device purchase?
