Telus November Android Plans by Region at Launch

This page preserves a snapshot of plans from that period. Do not use it for current pricing.

How the plans were organized

Telus Mobility priced plans by region: British Columbia and Alberta, the Midwest (Saskatchewan and Manitoba), Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces. The plans applied to new customers and to existing customers changing price plan. The one listed change since the start of the month was the launch of the Telus HSPA+ network.

What the $50 plan included

Region	Daytime minutes	Data
BC and Alberta	100 plus 50 bonus	500 MB plus tethering
Midwest	150 plus 100 bonus	500 MB
Ontario	100 plus 50 bonus	500 MB
Quebec	100 plus 50 bonus	500 MB
Atlantic	150 plus 100 bonus	500 MB

Every region had unlimited evenings and weekends from 9 p.m. Adding $7 to make the plan $57 moved the start of free evenings to 6 p.m.

Free promotion

Buyers could pick one of three free extras: 1000 messages with unlimited received messages, double daytime minutes, or My5 Local.

The $20 package

For voicemail and extras, a $20 package could be added. It included Voicemail 25, Caller Display, and unlimited sent and received text, picture and video messages.

Monthly totals with fees and taxes

Region	Plan alone	With $20 package
British Columbia	$56.00	$78.40
Alberta	$52.50	$73.50
Saskatchewan	$55.00	$77.00
Manitoba	$56.00	$78.40
Ontario	$56.50	$79.10
Quebec	$56.44	$79.01
NS, NB and Newfoundland	$56.50	$79.10
PEI	$57.75	$80.85

The phone and one limit

The Android phone, the HTC Hero, was $99 with the smartphone plan whether or not the $20 package was added. Because the plan already included data, extra data could not be added, unlike a separate voice plan and separate data option. The original post warned that all plans could change without notice.

Why this still helps

The layout shows how to compare any plan: minutes, data, when free evenings start, bundled messaging and the effect of taxes. Check the carrier’s current terms before buying.
