That’s about it. It’s noted these plans cannot be combined with any other data plan, such as the 6GB/$30 data plan currently on promo. Anyone going to jump on these plans?
Available for blackberry devices only 🙁
It doesn’t look like it on the site, the data part is different based on blackberry vs. non blackberry devices, but the plans seem to apply to all devices!
I hope so, i better phone telus later. I want to switch to that 40$ promo, i tried online but it won’t work.
Try calling them?
Sorry can’t delete my post, but yeah try calling them, hopefully they can change it (seems pretty clear on the site). good luck!
I talk to the agent this morning, i can’t switch to 40$ promo, all iphone users cannot downgrade below 50$ monthly plan. She said my 55$ flex is the best plan + 8$ caller ID.
I signed up with Telus last November and got a really good plan through my brother’s friend who works in the business and corporate department with Telus. A lot better than what they promote publicly.
For $57 a month I get.

unlimited evenings (starting at 6pm) and weekends minutes
unlimited messages (text, photo and video messages included)
6gb of data
caller ID
Visual Voicemail
Personal Hotspot/internet tethering (included for free)
