Yes, so unless I had an iPhone and was moving to Brandon, I think now they would just give you a new phone number.

I think the whole Bell not taking customers in Manitoba has a lot to do with them not wanting MTS to do the same thing to them in Toronto. So they are better off not having the few Winnipeg customers that might sign up with them as opposed to having another competator in Toronto.

Plus, Winnipeg has some pretty cheap telecommunications rates. Shaw's $55 landline plan in Calgary costs $40 in Winnipeg; and I'm pretty sure I've seen other "Winnipeg only" Telus plans. So I can see that as another reason for Bell not wanting to offer service if it has to be discounted.
