250MB data

Best for

Users who want a large allowance and don't need fast speeds, looking for a traditional monthly plan with financing and perks on Bell's network

Think twice if

  • You need fast data. Speeds are capped at 3.1 Mbps at all times, not just after the cap
  • You need mobile hotspot. This plan does not include it
  • You travel abroad. International is add-on only
  • You'd rather skip a credit check
