* In November 2016, Wind Mobile was renamed to Freedom Mobile
** Bell's wireless subscriber base increased by 476,932 subscribers as a result of the acquisition of MTS on March 17, 2017. Subsequently, in Q2, 2017, Bell's wireless subscriber base was reduced to reflect the estimated divestiture of postpaid subscribers to TELUS as a condition of that transaction. As a result, although Q2 Net Additions and Total Subscribers to Date do not add up for these companies, the Total Subscribers to Date are correct.
In 2018, Bell adjusted its postpaid wireless base to exclude 20 thousand subscribers divested to Xplornet through Bell's acquisition of MTS.
