Bell Mobility
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bell Mobility is the division of Bell Canada which sells wireless services in Canada. Bell Mobility boasts over 5.5 million subscribers as of March 2006 and the most rate plans of any provider in North America. As of July 2006, Bell Mobility has assumed responsibility for the former Aliant wireless operations in Atlantic Canada as part of a larger restructuring of both Bell and Aliant, and continues to do business there as Aliant Mobility.
Virgin Mobile Canada, Bell-owned Solo Mobile and PC Mobile operate as MVNOs on the Bell Mobility network.
[edit] Equipment
Their cellular network utilizes AMPS, CDMA, PTT, 1xRTT and, as of November 2005, EV-DO technology.
Their handset lineup includes phones from LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sanyo, PDAs from Kyocera, Motorola, palmOne, RIM and UTStarcom, and data cards from Sierra Wireless and Kyocera.
[edit] Advertising campaigns
As part of their current media advertising campaign in print and on TV, Bell Mobility features a pair of anthropomorphic CGI beavers named Frank (voiced by Norm MacDonald) and Gordon (voiced by Ken Hudson Campbell) (source), who constantly get into misadventures which lead to Frank getting flustered with the antics of the dimwitted Gordon.
