Bell Mobility Calling
Features
Placing
and receiving calls
Placing
calls
Your
cellular phone takes on the dialing pattern of its current location.
That means each call will be billed depending on where you are when you
make it. For example, if you are
a Toronto subscriber and you’re visiting Ottawa, you will dial the 7-digit
number only, without the area code, to call numbers in Ottawa.
Any Ottawa numbers you phone will be billed as local calls and you will
be charged for airtime only. However,
any calls you make to Toronto numbers will be long distance.
You’ll dial 11 digits (1+ area code + number) and you’ll be billed
for airtime, plus appropriate long distance charges.
From
Metropolitan Service Areas
To
make a local call, simply dial the 7-digit number within any Bell Mobility
cellular metropolitan service area. In
Toronto, Montreal and surrounding areas, you may also be required to dial the
area code to reach some local numbers due to new local dialing patterns.
-
Dial
the desired number; press the “Send or Talk” button (This appears in
green on most cellular phones).
-
Your
call will go through just like any regular call.
To terminate the call, press “End”.
-
Press
“CLR” to remove the dialed number from your cellular phone’s
display.
From
Corridor Service Areas
Corridor
service areas can be defined as highway service areas between two cities.
They would be small towns or rural areas.
If you’re placing a local call and you are interrupted by a recorded
message telling you that you’re in a corridor service area, you must dial
all 11 digits to complete the call. Even
though this is the long distance calling format, the call may be toll-free,
depending on where you are calling.
-
Dial
1 + area code+ number. Press
the “Send or Talk” button.

To
terminate the call, press “End”.

display.
