Please note that as of April 30, 2019, the CDMA network was replaced with a more advanced technology, 4G LTE. As a result, CDMA devices no longer have access to the network and associated services (calls including 9-1-1, text and data) are no longer available.

A notification was sent to customers in remaining CDMA coverage areas in Manitoba, Ontario, Québec and the Atlantic Provinces with instructions on how to transition to the 4G LTE network technology, which offers coverage to more than 99% of the national population.

Solo Mobile is committed to providing its customers with the most advanced wireless technologies to serve their needs.

For questions regarding the CDMA discontinuation or to move your service to 4G LTE, contact 1 800 667 0123 or visit a Bell store1.

 

Is the CDMA network discontinuation across Canada?
