Telus has updated their website to indicate the pre-order date and time for the iPhone 4S. Customers will be able to place orders starting Friday, October 7th at 3AM EST (12AM PST). This is three hours earlier than the 6AM EST set by Rogers for iPhone 4S pre-orders. The image notes: "Available online only, while...

Telus has updated its website with images to showcase today's announced iPhone 4S, with availability to take place on October 14th, the day of the worldwide launch. There is no indication yet of plans, or pricing. It would make sense pricing would follow last year's Telus iPhone 4 pricing, since Apple did not increase prices...

According to a PEW Internet survey in the US about text messaging, it was revealed 73% of American adults with cellphones send text messages. Young adults are the most avid texters by a wide margin. Cell owners between the ages of 18 and 24 exchange an average of 109.5 messages on a normal day—that works...

Starting this week, Telus, Bell and Rogers have once again started the no activation fee promotion and are waiving the $35 activation fee that customers are usually charged when starting up a new account. Since the promotion started earlier this week, any new 3-year activations since then will receive the credit. A $35 bill credit for 100% of the...

With an iPhone 5 launch 'imminent' in October (or September, your pick), existing supplies of the iPhone 4 appear to be ready for clearance.

In response to recent offers released by Bell and Rogers, Telus has now released a new $65 student plan that includes 6GB of data. The new plan is very similar to the existing Telus $55 student plan but this new plan includes more data. Details are below: $65.00 Student Plan Minutes: 200 daytime Data: 6GB...

Also this week, aside from the 6GB and other new data plans, Telus made a phenomenal industry-changing update. The big news is that with Telus, data plans are no longer a requirement to get promotional pricing on various Telus devices, including the iPhone. For example, instead of having to get a $50 combined voice and...

This week, Telus has released a series of new data add-ons. The specifics are detailed below: Data Light Flex Package 20 Monthly Fee: $20 - $40 Features: Unlimited text, picture and video messaging, Caller ID, 100MB of data Contract Term: 3-year Note: If data usage exceeds 100MB, the plan is bumped up to 250MB for...

Telus has announced their Q2 earnings, and their net profit rose 7% thanks largely in part to its wireless and Internet TV segments. Their growth outpaced rivals Rogers and Bell, and the company says that is a result of rapid smartphone sales such as the iPhone, that continues to increase data revenue and subscriber growth:...

The saying, "monkey see, monkey do" fits nicely with the carriers in Canada. When one makes a drastic change, others will follow. Case in point, Rogers offered their $30/6GB data plan for all of Canada yesterday (instead of just Quebec), and today, Telus has done the same. Who wants to bet money Bell is up...

Telus has announced they've partnered with Rdio to enable users to subscribe via their existing Telus accounts. What is Rdio? It's a subscription streaming music service that offers unlimited access to songs and albums, with zero ads. New albums are available to Rdio subscribers the day they are released, and music can be streamed to...

Looks like Telus has expanded their data plan offers and have launched three new prepaid data plans. The three new add-ons are available without a contract to prepaid customers. So if you have an iPhone, for example, and no contract (purchased iPhone outright at Apple?) with Telus and instead use prepaid, you can now add...
