Solo Mobile is the hip and trendy counterpart to its parent company, Bell Mobility. Founded in the summer of 2005, the purpose was to target a young demographic, ages 14-21, by offering affordable prepaid and post-paid plans with a strong focus on texting. In fact, as of this writing, Solo Mobile offers up to 1,500 texts per month more than any other Canadian carrier at the same price point.

In 2006 Solo Mobile refreshed its line-up of services to compete with Fido (the wireless carrier not the oversized puppy). Dropping such features as unlimited internet and caller ID, and deploying more user-friendly terms, i.e. "agreements" instead of "contracts". Solo Mobile is a brand, not a company. From a market standpoint, it's a way for Bell Mobility to create a "carrier" that young people can feel comfortable calling their own.

Originally, Solo Mobile offered exclusive Sanyo handsets, including the Sanyo 2300 and 3100. Today most of Solo Mobiles product mix comes from Bell Mobility's inventory, including the RAZR V3c, KRZR K1m, HTC Touch 5800 and others. While Solo Mobile may share its product line-up with Bell Mobility, Solo's handsets have much lower price points and often more attractive discounts.

Customer service is handled through Bell Mobility, but in an effort to keep the branding consistent, Solo Mobile customers access customer service by dialing #SOLO from their handset or 1-877-999-SOLO from any phone.

After spending months trying to close this account, and the company continuing to add a $300 fee for a non-existent contract, I finally got them to close the account. The last bill was paid on time, and they sent an invoice saying that the bill had not been paid. However, the bill had been paid well... More

Sent me to a collection agency when I had already made plans for payments, I called them and was told they would not tell the collection Agency that I was fully paid because I still owed 1.25 and had to pay this. I said it will cost me more to send that than for you just to credit it, I will never deal... More
