TELUS has launched iPhone 5c pre-orders for new and existing customers this early morning and two year contract pricing has been revealed for the first time in Canada:
So it looks like there’s a $30 premium for the iPhone 5c on two year terms in Canada compared to the USA. This year, unlocked iPhone 5c pricing is also $50 more in Canada compared to our US neighbours.
As for the existing iPhone 5, TELUS has lowered two year term pricing for remaining stock:
The 16GB iPhone 4S is free on contract as well as the 8GB iPhone 4, which hasn’t died just yet. Note the 16GB iPhone 5 is the same price as the 16GB iPhone 5c; the same goes for the 64GB iPhone 5 and the 32GB iPhone 5c.
Anyone going to pre-order their iPhone 5c from TELUS?

I wonder what this means for the 5S?
Also note, thur my rogers you can check your upgrade eligibility, which shows the 5S on 2 year term as follows:
$279 – 50 Rebate 16gb
$379 – 50 Rebate 32gb
Nope. Telus has increased the minimum cost of a plan to get the subsidy to $70. These new plans also come with almost no data (starting @ 250MB!). I currently have 3GB for $60. So I’ll stay month to month to keep my awesome plan and save another year to buy the iphone directly from Apple unlock for $900. 🙁 I had only saved $500 thinking I would be going back on contract to get the subsidy.
Also just a month or two ago I upgraded from $55 plan with 1 GB of data, 150 min talk, 10 favorite numbers to the $60 plan unlimited nationwide talk and text and 3GB of data.
So how in a month or two does their plans lose 12 times the data they had before and go up $10 a month? Total BS!
throw it on the credit card and forget about it. just kidding.
I wish 🙁

I think this is a price point the carriers should have been able to match, considering how much more expensive the plans are. How hard would it have been for them to subsidize that extra $30, even if Apple might be charging them an extra $30 for the phone?
I would have recommended you guys to pickup a wind sim and grab an unlocked 5 (1700/2100 bands included model, after April 2013)/5C/5S – 33$ gets me unlimited everything thats including unlimited DATA + 20 months of unlimited US calls. Then again I dont leave Toronto much (apart from travelling to NYC) so do think twice about sticking to these 3 thugs.
Would love to, but I live outside of Wind’s service area. 🙁
The only problem with that is that iMessage and FaceTime will not work with your Wind phone number. I hope I’m wrong on this, because I want to switch to Wind.
Facetime and iMessage is working for me on Wind! I think you can seriously consider it now.
How’d you get the 20 months of unlimited US calls? Are you referring to the $300 bring your own device credit that pays for that extra for 20 months?
Yah, I took the bring your own device credit. $200 (as I have the 30/month plan)
