Something similar happened to me just before I deployed.. I am with Bell, and before I signed my contract, I specifically told the rep I would be deploying and would need to have it suspended for 6-8 months, depending on the tour length.. He told me it was fine and they did it all the time for CF members..
Anyways a few days before I was set to leave, I call them to suspend the phone and am told they have no such thing in place... Ended up going through 3 levels of management before I got someone who would help.. I ended up having to add an extra year to my contract in order to suspend it for 6 months, and if my tour lasts longer, I will be paying the full bill after that 6 months.. When the entire reason you go with a company is because of the ability to suspend something and then when you need it they say no, its just foolish...
So just a heads up to anyone who wants to get a Bell phone, make sure to call their customer service line and asked about it.. Don't take the salesman's word for it
