This feature is no longer available on the Bell Mobility web site.

Thank you for the update.

We have been informed that Bell has removed this service. In our opinion this service was a great benefit to Bell Mobility customers and we are disappointing with Bell’s decision to shut it down. We hope it is a temporary move.

We are currently in the process of documenting the next easiest way to activate Bell Mobility cellular phones and it should be ready shortly.

Thanks again for the comment!

As of June 2011, Bell Mobility has REMOVED THIS SERVICE from their website. You are now REQUIRED to either go into a store or call a rep to activate your phone.

Why they would do this I have no idea as it seems they are regressing, to me, anyway.

I now have an HSPA phone with a SIM card so, thankfully, will no longer require them to activate any future phones long as I stick with this type of phone.

@Keith,

Not sure if you figured this out or not, but I had a similar problem after I switched to a HTC Desire from a Blackberry. My plan included vicemail with my Blackberry, but the new plan for the Desire didn’t. I just called Telus and they activated my voicemail. Problem solved.

Follow up to my previous comment. Told Solo via their crappy web sight where to stick their lousey service. Went with Fido instead and they had me up and running in minutes. Solo has no support whatsoever and it appears that not one person in their office checks web requests. Still lost my old phone number though thanks to Solo.

I was supposed to have my Solo activated on weds 13th Oct. I had my own Solo SIM card so I phoned and gave the agent my SIM number and also requested to use my landline number. They moved my Telus number leaving me without phone service and up to now my Solo is still not activated. I have been without any phone service since they cancelled my Telus account.
I suppose the agent could have marked down the wrong SIM # because my phone reads insert SIM. All the emails I send them appear to be ignored. I can’t phone them, NO phone service.

Thanks for the question! We’re happy you were able to program your Bell Samsung U740 successfully using our guide. Regarding the voicemail, I’m not too sure where the problem is occurring, but it is unrelated to programming your new phone number into the phone.

Our best guess is that Bell Aliant may use a different number to access their voicemail application, to verify this contact Aliant and ask their customer service what the manual number is to access your voice mail. You should have no problem access your voicemail with that number.

I hope this helped.

Thanks again,
Cellarama Service
