Bellmawr is home to the main post office for the area, one of the largest in the state of New Jersey. In late October 2001 the office was closed due to possible anthrax contamination (see 2001 anthrax attacks).
In July 2008, along with Telus Mobility Bell introduced charges of 15Â¢ for incoming SMS messages. Critics were quick to point out that there is no way of blocking incoming message fees and suggested Bell and Telus were price fixing as both had announced the fees simultaneously.
Telus's subscriber base has grown 1.8 per cent in 2013 while Bell's was up 1.3 per cent in the same period. Rogers, by comparison, which had 9.503 million subscribers by the end of 2013, grew its wireless customer base by 0.7 per cent.
