Bell is offering an $80/15GB ‘unlimited’ plan, $85/25GB promo plan, plus a lone $90/20GB ‘unlimited’ plan with shareable data. There’s also a $105/25GB ‘unlimited’ plan with Canada and USA calling.

Nonetheless, if you’re a new customer signing up for an ‘unlimited’ data plan, you’ll need to pay more as starting prices have increased by $5.

If you’re trying to find cheaper pricing, Freedom Mobile has Big Gig Unlimited plans starting at $50 with 13GB of data right now, while its parent company Shaw’s mobile offering has an ‘unlimited’ plan for $85 with 25GB of data for non-internet subscribers. This drops to $45/25GB and $25/25GB depending on your existing Shaw internet plan.
