MONTRÉAL, Dec. 1, 2017 /CNW
Telbec/ - Bell today announced the upcoming launch of Lucky
Mobile, an easy and low-cost prepaid mobile alternative for
budget-conscious Canadians with monthly plans starting at just
$20.
"Lucky Mobile is an all-new mobile service for people who want a
straightforward, low-cost prepaid option that offers all the talk,
text and data options they need. Whether you're a student or young
person just entering the workforce, a senior on a fixed income, a
new Canadian who hasn't yet built up a credit profile or anyone
looking for the easiest and most affordable wireless experience,
Lucky Mobile puts you in control," said Blaik Kirby, President of Bell Mobility. "There
is fast-growing demand from many Canadians for new lost-cost mobile
options, and Lucky Mobile is here to lead the way."
Initially available to consumers in Ontario, Alberta and British
Columbia beginning December 4,
Lucky Mobile will offer service in 17 zones covering most major
cities across the country including Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and surrounding areas. For customers
who want a plan that covers a larger area, Lucky Mobile also offers
economical province-wide and Canada-wide service options.
Unlike other low-cost prepaid wireless services in Canada, there are no surprise overage or
automatic charges with Lucky Mobile – customers are notified by
text if they are about to use services not included in their
monthly plan. Service Passes valid for 30 days are available for
$3 or $5 and offer options like international calling
to popular destinations.
In addition to talk and text on its cellular network, Lucky
Mobile will introduce an app that enables talk and text over Wi-Fi
in 2018.
Lucky Mobile monthly plans start at just $20 and all include voicemail, unlimited
nationwide and international incoming calls and texts, call
display, call waiting and 3-way calling. Monthly mobile data
options are also available at 3G-equivalent access speeds.
Customers can bring their own mobile device and activate a Lucky
Mobile SIM card or choose an affordable handset from manufacturers
like Alcatel, LG and ZTE. Lucky Mobile will be available at
Walmart, Wireless Wave, TBooth wireless, Wireless etc., Cellular
Point, Visions Electronics and select The Source locations or by
calling 1-833-88-LUCKY.
