will probably depend on where you are at on the islands; perhaps if you
are at a higher elevation you will be able to connect.

The Cell phone service you can purchase at a BellAliant store is from Bell
Mobility.... BellAliant is a different company, just that the majority (and
controlling) ownership of BellAliant is the same company that owns the Bell
Mobility business.... and that is Bell Canada Enterprises (TSX: BCE)
Cheers,

just got off the phone with bell mobility, no luck which is what I
expected.
I told them where I lived, and asked if by chance they knew where
st.pierre was, and they didn't. So I told them it was off the grand
bank but yet part of france. total confusion.
I put it in the perspective of NB & PEI. In the end I'm still without

occasions/locations I was always able to get coverage on my Bell
BlackBerry. Reception was very clear and data worked fine as well. Hope
that helps.

BellAliant is a (relatively) local company with fantastic service and
surprisingly good call centers...
Bell Mobility (and their sister division, Bell ExpressVu) have good technology,
decent service, but very, very crappy call centers and equally bad billing and
account management practices.
When people are talking crap about Bell's service and are directing it
incorrectly at BellAliant, it does nothing but besmirch the good name that
BellAliant has worked hard to maintain.

the signal wasn't great. In some areas it didn't work, but if I headed down
near the harbour the coverage was fine.
