Cellcom Communications or Cellcom is a telecommunications company based in Montreal, Quebec and the largest franchisee of Bell Canada & Bell Mobility in North America with 52 stores across Ontario and Greater Montreal Area.
History
[edit]Cellcom's parent company, Bell Canada Enterprises, was founded in 1880 and named after Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone and the co-founder of Bell Telephone Company.[1] Cellcom Communications was established by Gary Hutman in 1985. Shortly after cellular phones were emerging into the telecommunications industry, Cellcom was among the first distributors for Bell Canada in the Greater Montreal Area.[2]
In the span of four decades, Cellcom has gone from a single retail store outlet, to 28 stores throughout Montreal. Heavily investing in wireless technology, Cellcom has differentiated itself from other small telecommunications retailers by branching out into the corporate realm.[3] Currently, Cellcom has over 600 corporate clients, and roughly over 150,000 consumer customers. They are a distributor and provider for the Canadian wireless industry.[citation needed]
Virgin Plus
[edit]Cellcom operates several Bell Canada kiosks in the Greater Montreal Area. Cellcom also serves several Virgin Plus kiosks in Quebec. Virgin Plus is a subsidiary to Bell Canada, and is a provider of postpaid wireless voice, text, data, and home internet as well as television.
Talks of Expansion
[edit]Currently Cellcom is looking to expand further into the Ontario market, already currently hosting 3 outlet stores through Bell Canada. Cellcom currently operates 16 different locations, most being in the Greater Toronto Area. [citation needed]
Cellcom Communications operates 52 stores across Quebec and Ontario areas.
