I'm on Telus!

[xtachx]

Frustrating - got someone very obviously from a call centre out of Canada who basically offered me the plans available on their site and that was as good as he claimed he could go.

"For you, I can waive the activation fee"
"Um, that's posted right on your site as promo available for everyone."
"No it's not, this is just for you."

{facepalm}

Anyway, not sure if I should try again, or if I should just stick with Koodo.

Hang up and call again

These are business plans; the Filipino call centre likely has no idea of their existence.

You pay extra to SEND text messages to locations outside of the USA and Canada.
You pay extra if you leave Canada.
When you receive a text as long as it's not a Premium SMS from a CWTA short code it's free. Where it's sent from is not important.

When you are inside of canada, texting to people in the USA is no different than texting the guy standing beside you.

I assume this applies to Corporate plans as well?

Yes - the same applies to all plans with a domestic text package.

Can you walk into a store and get these plans, or are they phone-in only?

Make sure you speak with a Small Biz specialist, but most stores can do it with the proper business ID.

Signed up today - waiting for my phone to ship (backordered, and I'll bet you couldn't guess what model ). Turns out I utterly forgot to look into corporate plans, as my wife gets a decent one as a Ontario government employee.

Here's what I ended up with:

250 local minutes
Unl Evenings @ 6pm + weekends
Unl local incoming
Unl local telus to telus
Unl Text
Voicemail 25, call waiting, conference calling, caller ID, call forwarding
$0.08/min Cdn long distance
$150 port in credit

$20 / month

I added 6GB of data for $30 and unlimited Canadian long distance for $15, so the grand total was $65 per month.

So, not bad, and only $5 more than my Koodo plan which was very similar to this.

Emailed Telus about a billing error and on the same email, mentioned my Call Forward request. Mentioned that that competition includes it in far less expensive plans, nevermind the $85 plan (worth $3060 over 36 months). Reminded them that CFWD is a feature that routes calls of their network and to have to pay, seems a little unreasonable.

All being said, got a nice email back. Billing issue was resolved, and $3 CFWD Immediate was removed and replaced with $0 CFWD Immediate

To make this change did you contact your dealer or a general support address at Telus?

WorldIRC or others who can help, is this possible?

My friend who has a legit business is porting his Rogers line to Telus. I told him I wanted to as well but I dont have a business. He said he doesnt mind creating another line for me but I want my Rogers line ported. Is it possible that my Rogers line can be ported as one of his lines to Telus? I understand that this will be technically his account but once that has been done, is it possible to transfer that account to just under my name after the setup has been completed or Telus would still require me to have a business?

Thanks

[WorldIRC]

Telus will require proof of business when transferring into your name; unless you find a rep willing to create a business personal account for you without asking for any info...

[casperr]

WorldIRC, any updates on this? Are the most recent posted plans still available and the port in credits? I have a friend who has a business who is interested in porting from Rogers. Thanks

Don't work for TELUS so I have no idea.
