If you’re looking for a subsidy on a 128GB iPhone 6s, Best Buy has a sale for Telus activations and renewals, priced at $199.99 on contract—savings of $200. Right now, Rogers, TELUS and Bell have the same model priced at $400, with minimum $80 per month plans.
Of course, you’ll be required to sign a two-year contract and subscribe to a minimum $80 per month Telus Your Choice plan, which would have 300 anytime minutes and 1GB of data.
At the end of the day, it’s still more economical to purchase your own unlocked smartphone from Apple or go BYOD with an existing phone to get a cheaper monthly plan, for the most part.
I would highly suggest jumping on Public Mobile’s $38/4GB promo before it expires on November 20th. Public Mobile is owned by Telus and runs on their nationwide LTE network, so you get fast speeds and good coverage.

So would it be worth getting it at the sale price, immediately paying off the tab and unlocking it? Or will that still work out to be more?
I wish they would give those numbers in these kind of articles. That’s how I got my girlfriends iPhone 6, one of those Koodo deals, just immediately cancelled and hooked up with Public Mobile. That was about 6 months ago I guess.
Did you unlock it, or it worked since they’re all the same network?
No need to unlock Koodo or Telus phones to work with Public Mobile
So did you call in right away to cancel or just ported away?
$80/month for 1GB of data. Stop the insanity.
