Remember a dime to make a phone call?
Bell Canada and subsidiary Bell Aliant are looking to hike payphone rates to one dollar, double the current cost of 50 cents.
The companies have asked the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to approve the increase, saying the money is needed to modify the equipment.
Bell and Bell Aliant are also seeking to double the cost of non-cash payments — such as those made by credit cards — from the current one dollar to two dollars.
