Bell and Virgin Increase Price of Connection Charge Fee to $30 Per Device

After confirming price increases for small business and some consumer mobile customers yesterday, Bell has more price increases for customers, as their one-time connection charge fee has increased by 20% to $30 per device, up from $25.

The company confirmed the price increase today, according to MobileSyrup, which earlier noted an internal document detailing the changes, which applies to new accounts on a postpaid, small business or personal plans.

Earlier this month, Telus and its flanker brand Koodo debuted a $30 connection fee, while also eliminating its $20 charge for SIM cards.

The new $30 connection fee from Bell is effective starting today, which also applies to Virgin Mobile as well.
