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

Telus has announced their Q2 earnings, and their net profit rose 7% thanks largely in part to its wireless and Internet TV segments.

As predicted, Bell has gone ahead and launched a 6GB/$30 data plan to match their competitors, Rogers and Telus. We received a couple email tips this morning of internal notices about this announcement and it was further confirmed by our friends at MobileSyrup. Here are the details: - 6GB of data for $30; effective today...
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...
Data only plans seem pretty hard to come by in Canada, but that is going to change soon. According to MobileSyrup, sources tell them Telus' discount brand, Koodo Mobile is set to offer data only plans 'in the future', with no requirement for voice or text plans. No prices were revealed, but given the fact...
Update: Inserted below is a screenshot of the Telus roadmap for smartphones, that includes the iPhone 5. More iPhone 5 rumours are here, and this time they're Canadian-specific.

Telus has announced they've partnered with Rdio to enable users to subscribe via their existing Telus accounts. What is Rdio?

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...
In late June, we reported Quebec's Videotron launched a $30/month 6GB data plan. Such data plans originally popped up from the 'Big 3' carriers as 'limited promotions' during the times of available iPhone upgrades. For those unaware, the first introduction of the 6GB plan was back in 2008 when consumers dismissed Rogers' initial iPhone data...
