We had a Bell repairman last week who lacked simple manners. We have been undergoing renovations and switched all our services to Bell 6 months ago. Our electrician switched our phone Jack from the kitchen temporarily to our tv room and then to its final spot in our office. The Bell technician started by criticizing the electrician's work, accusing him of using the wrong tool ( that part was true) and then proceeded to tell me that if someone from Bell had done that work he would have them gone by the next day. I had no idea that I had such an important person doing my repairs. He accused them of messing with the outside line but they hadn't touched those. Then when checking for another Jack upstairs he told me "I can leave right now if you don't want my help." I hadn't raised my voice, criticized him or used inappropriate language. We are senior citizens and have had a Bell landline for over 54 years. We never had anyone from Bell before who was anything but caring and professional. I don't usually complain about this kind of thing but I spent years dealing with the public in my professional career and would never have spoken or treated any customer like that.

I purchased a mobile phone and prepaid service Nov. 19/13 for travel in Canada. I was told that the prepaid time was rolled over if not used. So far I have paid $150+ and used 10 minutes on the phone. No way to get direct contact with a Bell Mobility representative. Have tried both the web site and "Customer Service" phone numbers. HUGE RIP-OFF!! Service is also a 4 letter word at Bell.

Jan. 7. Ron Zirk. Would like to know how the hell I am supposed to get a hold of television rep ? I hung onto phone for over 10 minutes with same recording. I have technical problems with my new replacement remote.....same as old remote. Maybe receiver is problem? I need someone to call me at asap! This is not what I call good service! Do I have to explore other companies IN order to get what I pay for?

Crap ! took her at least 12 mins to get into my account then she switched me to tech dept - which I didn't need - it was billing - then I waited another 5 mins - crap - took all of 35 to add $5 extra usage to my account.
this is unaccountable - no wonder a lot of people are dissatisfied with BELL

I have been a Bell customer for over 50 years. I have used their customer service for many products and problems. I have always been more than satisfied with the service whether received from a foreign call center or a Canadian service rep. Although I have found their pricing too high, they have always assisted me in reducing my costs as much as possible. The only service I don't use is long distance since there are many many cheaper options (eg. SKYPE, 10-10-, etc.).

Agrees with 'Unhappy's comment. No cutomer service anymore.

They actually told me that they no longer call us, etc. because people have complained that they feel they are being ripped off by the customer service caller.

Sounds like an excuse to me....this way they save money cutting back on Customer Service.

You must be related to someone in Bell Canada or work there : )
Nothing like being a long time customer of bell - and being bullied by bell customer service and others pretending to managers but are just team leaders - who can you trust there- they bully customers to pay more fees for basic services - be aware.

I just had a pleasant dealing with a Bell Rep named Mike. He was courteous and very helpful. I had just returned from the states and had a cell bill for 940.00 dollars for one month. Put me on a bundle package and reduced my bill for me. I was very grateful. I am in the service business so wanted to make sure Mike gets credit for a job well done.

Sincerely,

Debbie

Bell does not know what customer service is! They are ok with taking your money for older plans and only tell you about new ones if you phone and beg. I was told its the customers responsibility to always be checking thier website. I guess i have nothing better to do. Meanwhile they have been charging me for a modem every month. After a phone call to complain about an extra charge they informed of this. Hey! They sure had no problem taking money from me when they don't even charge fo it anymore. How long would this have gone on if I had not phoned? But that's ok I was told its the customers responsibility. Now that is great customer service?? NOT!!

An absolute nightmare dealing with Bell.Trying to get a service man is next
to impossible. After patiently waiting for
20 mins. I got cut off. The next guy was
having a terrible time setting up an appt.
for a service man. After 40-mins. I finally
hung up. Ridiculous hiring people from overseas it is neither smooth working conditions for them and for your customers
agonizing slow. Did you never consider or
you just don't care that our time is valuable too.

Bell Canada customer service is the worst service ever. They have been charging me for 16 months for someone else is Internet line. When I called the no agent solved my issue and I was on the phone for 4.5 hours most of it on hold or getting transfer to other agent and at the end they hang up the line. This incident occurred on December 17 2012

I would not call anything Bell does customer service. Warn everyone you know that even when you've cancelled your service they keep taking payments from your account even after an account supervisor claims he has blocked future payments. They know it's their error but you still wait until he next billing cycle PLUS 4 TO 6 WEEKS!Customers are just money in their pocket, certainly not someone to serve.

Has anybody else been charged a monthly receiver rental fee in error? Bell has tried to charge us on 3 or 4 separate bills for this extra fee. Each time that I called to inquire about it, the service rep tells me that if I send them a copy of my sales recepit for the purchase of the receiver, they will credit our account. Each time this was asked of me, I asked them to prove to me that I signed for a rental, or asked them for a rental, as I know that they did not have this info. After I asked them to provide me this information, they could tell by my tone that I was not happy with them, and that they would credit my account and that I would not have to fax them a copy of my receipt. Of course this was not the case, as I have now had the same experience 3 times now, with the latest finally dealing with the supervisor. I expressed my dissatifaction with the supervisor because he could not provide me with the information that I asked for the first two times I called to complain. I asked him what Bell would do for me if I sent them a copy of my receipt, proving that their system was wrong, and for having to deal with this frusration for months now, and he told me that they would reverse the rental fee. Not the answer that I was looking for. I filed a complaint with the BBB today, and am waiting to hear back from them. Any suggestions on what I can do to get some satisfaction from Bell?

Alot of you need to just calm down. Every company has bs or bad reps answering their phones. I've been with Telus, bell and now rogers. I can honestly say I've had great experience and bad ones too. I am also in the customer service field and it's not a pretty job. Your problem is not their problem. It's the companies fault... Give these reps a slack and let them try to help you out. It's unbelievable how many companies use multiple platforms with limited abilities in each. What you think is a simple adjustment, credit or change isn't... The platforms errors out and stuff. Rogers platforms are a nightmare. So all I'm saying is calm down!

I am a new Bell TV employee that just finished training a few months ago. I have worked for Rogers in the past however when I moved to Toronto I found out that I could not simply transfer my job to a Toronto Office as I worked for a 3rd party. Rogers was great to their 3rd party employees. Bell however as I am learning is not great to their own employees. They tie the amount of credits I give to customers to my Key Performance Indicators which affects the bonus and raise I am entitled to at the end of the year. This means that the more credits I give out even if it is Bells own fault I will receive a hit to my KPI resulting in little or no raise and no bonus come year end. Rogers did not do this and I feel this is why so many customers have to call back in month after month for the same credit. Each time the agent will tell them they will give them the credit but in the end does nothing as if they do they will not get their bonus or raise. It is not fair that they tie the amount of credits we give out to our raises.
I wish I felt comfortable giving my name but I can not risk losing my job. I feel like if this was brought out to a media owned not by bell perhaps things would change but I am unsure how to go about that. Ask any of the Bell employees they will tell you that everything I have said is true.

what peeved me off with bell is not once they mention to me about a two year contract.Only one month in i was very upset with the numbers of channels received in Hd and poor sound quality.i called to cancell my service and their and behold i found out that i had a two year contract.i ask her where and when did i signed this contract,they said when the service man hooked up,that is when you signed.I know one should always read and check what we sign but it was just the way it was done cause the service man when ask me to sign,i ask him what was i signing and his reply was,it's just for the installation and no word on a two year contract.it's unfortunate that BELL needs to have customers sign contracts cause which other way would they be able to keep their customers.Just wondering what i should do ,if i should just pay their dam $200 fee but when this contract is done its bye bye bell and going back with rogers tv.

I have spoken with Customer Service four times since the end of May, 2012 about cancelling my phone service. I have been assured it will happen but still I am receiving bills after moving. I am not in Canada and contacting Bell is impossible since it has only Canadian numbers and Chat seems always to be closed. I am impressed with the bad service and lack of response. Never again will I deal with Bell Canada.
