TELUS re-launch 6GB plans

**jeffg1** · 07-19-2012, 10:53 AM

I'm suprised to see Telus has not yet come out with a competitve plan to match the new bell/rogers 6 gig plans.

Mod edit: Now launched - see post 23

I think they have it already; it's $65 (as it includes Call Display and VM)

Their promotion page only shows 1 GB for $65. http://www.telusmobility.com/en/ON/p...LCH1promoplans . Is there another (maybe unadvertised) way to get 6 GB fora reasonable price from Telus?

People are saying that its avail thru retentions but i have not had any luck getting them to add it.

Have you spoken to the escalations dept they are above LnR. I hope Telus comes out with a 9GB plan by the end of the year. These LTE phones use way to much data.

I am also waiting for this!

from what I can tell, telus struck first with Sask55

I'm waiting to see what shakes out here as well. Bell's offer is really competitive, especially when you factor in the BYOD discount, but the idea of dealing with Bell again is kind of a non-starter for me.

2 things.

1 I tweeted Telus and asked where their matching plan is/was: https://twitter.com/TELUSsupport/sta...64281861509120

2 I called Fido retentions, and was put on 200, Unlim Incoming, N/W, Intl SMS, 6GB, CID for $55

Not sure I need Telus now.

I have had the 6gb data plan from relic for over a year. I got it when I got my iPhone Jan 2011.

A plan you got a year and a half ago isn't really relevant to a discussion of in market plans.

Telus's response is to bump the Voice & Data 65 to 6GB - so their 'response' is to offer the same at a higher price.

They offer Call Display and VM; Rogers and Bell do not....

Its actually very relevant to the discussion since the title of the discussion is telus taking a long time to match the six gig plan.

I had it for over a year at 65.00. so i figure bell and rogers are a long time catching up with telus.

Bell, Rogers and Telus all offered 6GB plans last year, and all eventually discontinued them. Rogers and Bell just launched 6GB plans again, and Telus (as is typical) reacted later. For months prior to this morning's response your plan couldn't be got, so that you got one on the last cycle is entirely irrelevant to this topic.
