“With Rollover Minutes, you no longer have to use ‘em or lose ‘em. If you undertalk one month, you can overtalk the next,” said Wade Oosterman, President of Bell Mobility and Chief Brand Officer with Bell Canada.

Rollover Minutes plans let you carry over unused local airtime voice minutes for one additional month. For instance, if your Rollover Minutes plan includes up to 400 anytime local minutes per month and you use only 330, you carry over 70 minutes to the next month – a total of 470 minutes in the next month. The approach helps clients balance high and low usage months and avoid additional per-minute charges.

“We understand the Internet is an incredible source for entertainment, education and social networking, but also a challenge considering the large number of Internet sites featuring content that may be inappropriate for children to view,” said Adel Bazerghi, Senior Vice President of Products for Bell Mobility. “As use of the Internet on mobile phones grows, fuelled by the popularity of smartphones and the fast access speeds delivered by 3G networks, our clients have asked for tools to help them manage access. Bell Parental Control offers them content filtering capability on mobile phones for the first time in Canada.”

The solution employs Unipier Ltd.’s Intelligent Policy Manager (IPM) system, which sets the guidelines for identifying and filtering content. The system applies these guidelines in real-time over any mobile content.

To activate Parental Control, payment-responsible account holders visit My Bell or Solo Mobile self serve and follow the instructions on the password-protected sites. Parental Control is available nationally on most phones for $5 a month on both prepaid and postpaid accounts.
