Telus Reportedly Plans Mandatory $15 SIM Fee Days Before CRTC Ban
Telus is allegedly planning to introduce a new, non-waivable $15 "SIM purchase" fee for both physical SIM cards and digital eSIMs starting June 11, 2026, according to documents seen by iPhone in Canada.

Pretty good for TELUS.
Nothing to see here, keep moving….
iPhone’s arent included. Below is the fine print.
“Available ONLY with select smartphones on 2 year term and month-to-month”
“Available on activations and renewals until February 28, 2013, and not as a rate plan change.”
the only thing its better is the in shareable data. but 10 dollars more over Fido 57. Pass
