The Bell Athletes Connect program does not offer individual upgrades regardless of an account holder’s status with Bell Mobility.

If you’re already on a Bell Mobility contract when you join the program, you are responsible for the duration of that contract if you come off the program within that time period. Should you lose eligibility status and choose to cancel your plan, there may be cancellation fees as outlined in your signed contract.

Currently, hardware upgrades are not available on the Bell Athletes Connect program. If you wish to purchase a new phone, you can visit a Bell store and buy a phone outright (i.e., do not sign a contract or agreement).

Your Bell SIM card is what ties your account to the Bell Athletes Connect program. If you change phones during your time on the program, simply insert your SIM card in your new phone and go.

If your old SIM card does not fit, please send us an email to request a new SIM card.

If you’re already a Bell Mobility customer, you will keep your existing phone number. If you’re with another carrier, you will need to call Bell at 1 866 828-0343 after being activated on the Bell Athletes Connect program to transfer your phone number.
