Good Day & Welcome to the Bell Community Forum
The Bell Community is a place for you to ask questions, find answers and share your thoughts. It is a peer-to-peer web site. As such we do not have access to your account and billing details.
Before I try to assist you in answering your question, could you please provide the community with further information?
- Did you initiate this call or was the call placed by a third party?
- Unlimited long distance in Canada > Home phone? or Mobility?
- Include your plan details.
- Have you reviewed the specifics in your service agreement. E.g. Unlimited Canada-wide calling
- Please provide specifics in terms of the other carrier charge.
- Third party calling? Operator assisted? 900 /976? Call Forwarding? You can confirm this charge by accessing your MyBell account and selecting the specific. You will be able to view the usage charges, date & time, duration, type of call, etc.
For example, if you have Bell Mobility & you subscribe to a long-distance feature, you only pay your regular airtime charges when you make or receive a long-distance call. The long-distance minutes will be deducted from your feature.
Have you reconfirmed this charge with Bell Customer Service accounts and billing? Please call: 1 866 310-BELL (2355)
Let us know if we can be of further assistance.
Take care.

Hello Ms S and others who are struggling with this situation.
I marked one of my previous comments as Most Helpful hoping others would see it, too.
Nobody subscribed to YAK, but if you were a Primus customer then your long distance was going through YAK.
So I'm assuming that with Primus being bought by Rogers, a lot of people are switching to Bell and this problem with YAK is going to sky rocket.
See the comment dated 02-21-2024 05:30 PM for what I found to work for me.
It means escalating your complaints beyond customer service and beyond technical support. It goes to a manager or someone who knows how to fix it. At least, that's how it happened for me a few years ago.
