Some phones experienced ‘time change’ a week early.

This morning many Bell users found the time on their phone had fallen back one hour as if the switch from Daylight Saving Time to Standard happened Monday.

Oralee, talking on the MIX 96.7 FM Morning Show with Corny Rempel, discovered her phone was set to the Regina time-zone this morning.

Lisa and her husband, both on the same provider, had varying experiences this morning. Her iPhone was fine while her husband's Samsung went back one hour. He woke up to his 5 o’clock alarm to find that his phone said it was 4 AM.

Bell released a short statement early Monday morning. “Some of our mobility clients may have experienced an incorrect time change on their phone this morning. Our teams are investigating the situation in order to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

One theory was that time change in 2020 fell on November 1 and possibly some settings by the provider hadn’t been adjusted since then.
