The Baka Story
Named after a beloved Croatian grandmother, Baka was launched in 1984—one year before the first cell phone call was made in Canada.
We started by installing car phones and preloading the Bell Network out of a small shop on the corner of Dupont and Christie in Toronto. Today, we have sold over a million devices and have approximately 100 employees located across Canada.
