A class action against Bell Mobility has been allowed to proceed by the Ontario Superior Court, on behalf of Bell Mobility customers between August 18, 2006 and October 1, 2009 whose wireless calls were rounded up to the next full minute (the "rounding up practice").
The action alleges that this billing practice constituted a breach of contract and consumer protection legislation. The allegations raised in the proceedings have not yet been proven in court and the court has not made any decision about the merits of the case - rather that it can move forward as a class action to trial. Bell Mobility denies that it acted in breach of contract or consumer proctection legislation and that it has any liability.

If you were a Bell Mobility customer between August 18, 2006 and October 1, 2009, you may be eligible to receive compensation in the event of a judgment against Bell Mobility.
