</FONT><BR>
<FONT style="font-size: 11pt">For immediate release
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; margin-right:5%; font-size: 11pt"><I>This news release contains forward-looking statements. For a description of the
related risk factors and assumptions please see the section entitled &#147;Caution
Concerning Forward-Looking Statements&#148; later in this release.</I>


<P align="center" style="font-size: 11pt"><FONT style="font-size: 14pt"><B>BCE ANNOUNCES DETAILS OF PLANS OF ARRANGEMENT</B></FONT>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 14pt"><FONT style="font-size: 11pt"><B>Montr&#233;al, (Qu&#233;bec), July&nbsp;7, 2006 </B>- BCE Inc. (TSX, NYSE: BCE) announced the following
transactions as a result of the completion today of the Aliant Inc. (&#147;Aliant&#148;) plan of arrangement,
under Section&nbsp;192 of the <I>Canada Business Corporations Act </I>(the &#147;Aliant Plan&#148;). These transactions
precede the formal launch of the new Bell Aliant Regional Communications Income Fund (the &#147;Fund&#148;)
on Monday July&nbsp;10, 2006.
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Under the Aliant Plan, the wireline operations of Aliant were combined with certain of Bell
Canada&#146;s wireline operations in its regional territories in Ontario and Qu&#233;bec to form the new
Fund. In order to effect the Aliant Plan, the Fund directly and indirectly acquired all of the
outstanding common shares of Aliant, as well as BCE&#146;s 63.4% indirect interest in Telebec, Limited
Partnership and NorthernTel, Limited Partnership, which is exchangeable for a 63.4% interest in the
Bell Nordiq Income Fund. As part of this transaction, Bell Canada acquired Aliant Mobility&#146;s
wireless operations and Aliant&#146;s DownEast Communications (&#147;DownEast&#148;) retail outlets. In addition,
approximately $1.25&nbsp;billion of Bell Canada debt was effectively transferred to the Fund. In
connection with the completion of the Aliant Plan, Bell Canada and the Fund also entered into a
number of outsourcing and commercial agreements.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">As a result of the Aliant Plan, BCE now owns, directly and indirectly, a 73.5% voting and equity
interest in the Fund (on a fully-diluted basis). Approximately 28.8% of this interest is held
directly in the form of units of the Fund, and the balance is held directly and indirectly in the
form of exchangeable limited partnership interests in underlying entities of the Fund.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">In connection with the Aliant Plan, BCE entered into a securityholders&#146; agreement with, among
others, the Fund, Bell Canada, the successor to Aliant and Bell Aliant Regional Communications
Holdings Inc., an underlying entity of the Fund, as a result of which BCE was given the right to
appoint or nominate, as applicable, a majority of the directors of Bell Aliant Regional
Communications Holdings Inc. and the trustees of the Fund (and a majority of the directors and
trustees of certain underlying entities of the Fund), subject to certain conditions, for so long as
BCE has more than a 30% interest in the Fund (on a fully-diluted basis).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">BCE will distribute to its common shareholders, by way of a separate plan of arrangement (the &#147;BCE
Plan&#148;), approximately 64,628,000 units of the Fund (representing an approximate 28.8% interest in
the Fund, on a fully-diluted basis). BCE will directly and indirectly hold an approximate 44.7%
interest in the Fund (on a fully-diluted basis) immediately following this distribution to its
common shareholders of record at the close of business on July&nbsp;10, 2006, concurrent with the
consolidation of BCE&#146;s common shares on a 0.915 for 1 basis.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">As required by applicable securities laws, BCE hereby discloses that it holds its interest in the
Fund for strategic purposes and that although it has no current intention to acquire additional
securities of the Fund, it reserves the right to increase or decrease, from time to time, its
ownership over securities of the Fund.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Special trading and settlement rules issued on July&nbsp;6, 2006 by the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX)
regarding the Fund will facilitate the distribution of Units to BCE shareholders. Trades in Units
that occur on July&nbsp;10, 11 and 12, 2006 will qualify for special settlement on July&nbsp;18, 2006, the
anticipated date of delivery of Unit certificates to BCE shareholders.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt"><B>Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Certain statements made in this press release, including, but not limited to, the distribution to
BCE common shareholders, by way of the BCE Plan, of an aggregate of approximately 64,627,558 units
of the Fund (representing an approximate 28.8% interest in the Fund, on a fully-diluted basis), and
other statements that are not historical facts, constitute forward-looking information and are
subject to important risks, uncertainties and assumptions. In particular, in making these
forward-looking statements BCE has assumed, among other things, that the BCE Plan will be completed
in accordance with its terms. The results or events predicted in these forward-looking statements
may differ materially from actual results or events. As a result, readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">For additional information with respect to certain of these and other assumptions and risk factors,
please refer to (i)&nbsp;BCE Inc.&#146;s MD&#038;A for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005 dated March&nbsp;1, 2006 filed
by BCE Inc. with the Canadian securities commissions (available on BCE&#146;s website at
<U>www.bce.ca</U> and on SEDAR at <U>www.sedar.com</U>), and with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission under Form 40-F (available on EDGAR at <U>www.sec.gov</U>), as updated in BCE
Inc.&#146;s 2006 First Quarter MD&#038;A dated May&nbsp;2, 2006 which has also been filed with these regulatory
authorities and is available on the same websites, and (ii)&nbsp;the management proxy circular of BCE
Inc. dated April&nbsp;12, 2006 which has also been filed with these regulatory authorities and is
available on the same websites. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release
represent BCE&#146;s expectations as of July&nbsp;7, 2006 and, accordingly, are subject to change after such
date. However, BCE disclaims any intention and assumes no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
