Imagine getting a phone bill saying you owe $1.6 million.
On top of that, your phone number is deactivated without any other notice, with a cancellation date set in 2026.
However, that number can be horrifying, and you can't even call Bell to fix it since your phone is disconnected.
We've received a statement from Bell, regarding the billing error and to learn its cause:"This was a billing error that has since been resolved.
We're investigating the root cause of the error and continue to work directly with the customer to ensure they're completely satisfied."
