What are the hours and when should I call?

Bell Canada operates the call center for this 866-317-3382 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Tuesday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 3,413 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Bell Canada call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Bell Canada phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Bell Canada staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Bell Canada is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Tuesday, which averages 122% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 3,413 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Tuesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday, which is 372% longer than the minimum. As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call Bell Canada

In summation, the best day to call Bell Canada is Tuesday. It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Bell Canada staffs up on Tuesday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.

If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Bell Canada provides this option.

Bell Canada Customer Help Desk / Web Support

Online customer service support
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Bell Canada customer service can be accessed through their website.
