What are the unregulated terms of service?

The price and most of the terms for Bell local phone services in your area are no longer regulated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).1

What it all means for you

  • Greater flexibility and choice with local phone services
  • New innovative services and exciting new packages and promotions
  • The option to receive basic local phone service at the CRTC-approved price

Your Bell local phone service is now provided under our Unregulated Terms of Service for Consumers (UTOS) (PDF 545.29 KB), which defines your rights and obligations as our customer.2

Our services and equipment will not change.
