Bell has added Travel Data Passes for international travellers to their roster of outstanding wireless services

Montreal (December 02, 2013) – Bell customers planning on travelling to Europe, Mexico, China and a host of other international destinations in the future will be paying less for mobile  data roaming during their stay. Bell added ready-to-go Travel Data Passes for mobile data roaming to its roster of outstanding wireless services recently. A handy and accessible way to for Bell customers to get rid of overage charges, keep track of their data use in real time, and even add more Travel Data Passes. At the same time the wireless service provider also introduced even further data roaming cost decreases for customers to a lot more international destinations.

“Bell is committed to ensuring international roaming is affordable and worry-free for our mobile customers. With real-time usage updates, Travel Data Passes make it easy to buy and manage the data you need no matter where you may roam,” said Wade Oosterman, President of Bell Mobility and Residential Services, and Chief Brand Officer at Bell. “Bell continues to work with international telecom suppliers to cut the cost of roaming to the places worldwide that Canadians travel to the most. We started with the United States and Caribbean sun destinations earlier this year, and we’re pleased to extend data roaming price reductions to Europe, Mexico, China and other major international destinations today.”

Bell wireless service users can buy Travel Data Passes before leaving for their trip or even using the self-serve application on their cell phone. Bell customers that forgot to buy a Travel Data Pass will be sent a text message by Bell letting them know how easy it is to purchase a pass at any time.

Bell wireless customers have the ability to determine how much of their data plan they have used on a moment-to-moment basis. Their data utilization is also updated by as much as 80 to 100 percent when roaming. Bell consumers without a Travel Data Pass that keep on roaming will be told once they have used $25 on data usage and their ability to send data will be stopped once they spend $100.

Bell decreased data roaming prices for regions in Zone 1, which covers most of the European countries, places like Mexico, China, Turkey, Australia and New Zealand, and additional regions of the world. Bell customers can buy a Zone 1 Travel Data Pass for $30, which allows them up to 50 Megabytes of Internet and other data usage.
