I’m about to leave Canada to go to Jamaica. My mom says I should leave my Canadian phone in Canada because she’ll be charged roaming fees if I don’t. But there’s an option to “turn on this line” i.e, the Canadian line so I don’t understand why that would be possible. She’s quite adamant I leave the phone but I don’t want to. Is the information she has accurate?
Bell has launched the ahlo 2, the second generation of its own budget smartphone brand.
For $335 outright, it includes:
• 6.9-inch eye-comfort display
• 50MP camera system
• Android 16
• 5,200mAh battery
• Up to 1.5 days of typical battery life
• Up to seven days in e-reader mode
• 0-50% charging in around 38 minutes
• 128GB storage
The ahlo 2 is available through Bell, Virgin Plus and participating retailers.
Bell is also offering it from $1/month for 24 months through SmartPay with an eligible two-year plan, although the full device price remains $335.
One interesting comparison: the original ahlo 1 currently has a $270 full price, so the new model costs $65 more while upgrading the screen, camera and battery.
Bell is also selling a case + 30W fast charger bundle for $39.99.
