SearsConnect is a Canadian telecommunications service provider that offers digital subscriber line (DSL) Internet and residential home phone in regions served by Bell Canada in the province of Ontario, and mobile phone services throughout Canada wherever Rogers Wireless coverage exists.

The main advantage of this provider is that Sears Canada Club members can earn two Sears points for every dollar spent on its telecommunications services. Points can then be redeemed for items such as Sears gift cards.
