UPDATED: Bell Users Experience Time Issue On Mobile Phones

, , , , , , ,

Update: Bell Support said the issue has been resolved.

Depending on where you live, some people were late or early for work because the time changed on their mobile device without warning.

It appears to be exclusive to Bell customers.

On Twitter, the company said some of their clients “may have experienced an incorrect time change on their phone this morning”.

It also says their teams are investigating the situation in order to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and they apologized for the inconvenience.

Dealing With Weekend Time Change

We “fall back” to standard time this weekend and a sleep expert says our bodies actually adjust much better compared to the “spring ahead” time change in March.

Dr. Julie Carrier says we get an extra hour of sleep which is good news since Canadians are typically sleep deprived but our biological clocks still have to adjust.

One of the fastest ways is to expose yourself as much as possible to light.

“Your biological clock can change its biological time but the way it’s changing its time is by looking and integrating the light that you receive during the day.”

Fortunately, Dr. Carrier says the body only takes a couple of days to get used to the “fall back” change.

Dr. Carrier adds the “spring ahead” change in March is much harder since our biological clock has more difficulty adjusting to going to bed earlier and waking up earlier.

She adds many of us will typically be late for work and the number of motor vehicle collisions usually increases the next day.
