MONTREAL - BCE Inc.'s Bell Canada says it will begin offering two models of the Apple iPhone smartphone in November, a move that will put added pressure on rival Rogers Communications.
It will be the first time Bell has offered Apple smartphones, which have only worked in Canada on the Rogers wireless network.
It's been anticpated for months that Bell and Telus Corp. would begin offering Apple smartphones once the two phone companies rolled out their new wireless networks.
Bell announced Monday that its new high-speed wireless network will be ready across the country in November, ahead of its original deadline.
The Montreal-based company said Tuesday it has an agreement with Apple to start offering the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS in November.
Bell has Canada's second-largest installed base of wireless customers after Rogers Communications Inc., which also owns the Fido brand.
