Expired Deal
Telus: Receive a $100 Credit with New Activations
This deal has expired! This deal has expired!

Here's a pretty solid wireless plan incentive courtesy of Telus. Until October 31, new customers who sign up for any rate plan can get a $100 credit provided they have their own unlocked phone. Even if you don't, you can sign up for a month-to-month or monthly plan and still get in on the promotion.

There aren't many more details available so you'll want to head to your nearest Telus dealer or call to find out more.

The promotion ends on October 31.

    • I don't see why anyone can't just sign up month to month with a SIM card and then sign a contract a couple days after, resulting in a free 100 dollar credit for new activations. Loophole?

      I guess then their goal is accomplished ! One more satisfied customer chained in a contract.

      I wouldn't really call that a loophole, although if someone was already planning to sign a contract with Telus, then I guess it might something like that.

      Right, say you want to sign up and get the iPhone 5. Rather than walk into a Telus store and say "sign me up!", activate month to month, get a 100 dollar credit and then sign up for the contract.

      But then you'd have to pay the upfront price for the Phone versus having a device balance on a contract that slowly gets drawn down over the life of the contract.

      No, when you're month to month you're eligible to sign a 3 year contract and get the discounted price.

      I don't mean sign up month to month and bring your own iPhone 5 (or order it and remain month to month). You would sign up month to month, get the credit and then a couple of days later sign a contract in your existing account. You'll still get the phone for the subsidized price.

      EDIT: Hmmm.... Could existing Telus subscribers add a month to month line on a cheap ($25 voice plan), cancel after 1 month and keep the remainder of 100 dollar credit?
      EDIT 2: It depends if by new customers they mean new telus accounts or new telus lines on the same account... probably the former. Ohh well, it's still a deal for new subscribers (looking for a contract or not).

      Good Idea. Might just do that.

      I see what you're saying...

      Activate an existing phone you have on month to month as a new account and then a few days later sign a 3-year contract and buy a new device. This would probably work, but depends on the terms and conditions of the offer (i.e. is the $100 credit given to you immediately or over a period of time)?

      I signed up on the 1st (the day it started) and it was good 'till the 31st. Not sure where you saw it as a one day deal.

    • So can I just go month-to-month for say 3 months, on a $25 plan, then cancel? Presumably, I would need to buy a SIM card?

      Er, if you're going to take a device with subsidy, does Telus not require you do that when the account is initially activated, not when you switch to a contract later on?

      No because you're signing up on a no commitment/month to month basis with a "bring your own" unlocked phone (if you don't have a phone, just get a SIM)..

      Then, a couple days later you decide to sign a contract. You can't tell me Telus doesn't allow their month to month customers to sign a contract... That would make no sense.

      Edit: As mentioned above, it would only work if the 100 was a one time account credit and not something like 10 dollars off for 10 months.

      Yeah, for sure they'll let you switch to a contract, but I don't know if they let you then take a device at the subsidized price.

      Of course they would, you would be in the same situation if your three year contract expired two months ago, say July 2009 to July 2012... You don't have to renew the day it expires, when you decide to sign you get the subsidized price, otherwise what's the point of a contract?

      Especially now with the anytime upgrade, you just pay off the old subsidy and your contract is cancelled, you're eligible to sign a new one. You can get a new phone as often as you like as long as you keep paying Telus the device balance. On a month to month, the device balance is zero... Of course you would be eligible for subsidized pricing. Even better you can probably call retentions as you're technically not a new customer (but I wouldn't do that if I just activated month to month the day before... For that I would stay month to month for a couple months).

      Activate an unlocked phone and get any rate plan with no commitment, plus receive a $100 credit.
      Offer valid until October 31, 2012 for new customers activating on a month-to-month service agreement.

      No mention if the credit is in installments. Amazing if it's up front!!

      i went onto their website to look up this promo.. but not clear to me....when and how you get this 100.00 credit... does anyone know?? also
      if I was to go month to month .. all their plans are listed on the site?? nothing that really stands out ?? just looking for standard talk and text...

      another question .. if its month to month... then I can cancell anytime then .....

      Telus usually divides the credit over a period of months. Not sure if this one is the same but I wouldn't be surprised if it was $10/month for 10 months.

    • Not sure if anyone is interested but bringing your own device to Bell and going month to month will give you 10% off your bill each month. Just another option for those in the market.

      Yes, and 10% off each month and no activation fee.

      http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Promotio..._to_Bell_Offer

      If you stay longer than a year that 10% off would start to be more than the $100 Telus is offering.

      I'm not with Bell or advocating for them, I'm just in the market to run away from Rogers so I have been researching a lot of deals. With that said I want to share that info where it may be useful.

      thanks for sharing info....... i think the challenge is finding a "budget" plan that includes the talk and text we need... so far the plans are not so exciting on the Telus site.

      I belive thats usually if its a credit on the phone price which you pay back the remainder of if you terminate 'contract' early. I've had lump sum of $150 dumped in account for other 'credit offers' (porting from rogers) which pays off a few months of phone bills.

      Looks like to get this deal one needs to walk into a store to get signed up.

    • Does anyone know how Telus is applying this credit? Do you get $100 at one time or is it divided over 10 month period? Assuming it's divided over months, does the credit begin from 1st month or do you pay full price for the first month?
  • AVATAR
    • xPhyre
    • It's $100 applied on the first bill. So technically you can go on a plan and cancel after the credits are used up.
