At the beginning of Q1 2019, Bell removed 167,929 subscribers as follows: ▪ 65,798 subscribers (19,195 postpaid and 46,603 prepaid), due to the completion of the shutdown of the CDMA network on April 30, 2019; ▪ 49,095 prepaid subscribers as a result of a change to our deactivation policy, mainly from 120 days for Bell/Virgin Mobile and 150 days for Lucky Mobile to 90 days; ▪ 43,670 postpaid subscribers relating to IoT due to the further refinement of our subscriber definition as a result of technology evolution; and ▪ 9,366 postpaid fixed wireless Internet subscribers which were transferred to our retail high-speed Internet subscriber base. †† As of Q4 2018, TELUS reported 9,235,000 subscribers.
