Telus Weekend Sale: Affordable Wireless Plans
Telus is hosting a weekend sale, bringing back prices to what they were at the start of May. This comes after the carrier raised rates earlier this month.
Current Pricing Overview
Here's a look at the new pricing for Telus wireless plans:
- $60 for 100GB 5G (1Gbps speed) – down from $70.
- $70 for 175GB 5G (1Gbps speed) in Canada and the U.S. – previously $80.
- $90 for 250GB 5G (2Gbps speed) across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico – reduced from $100.
Financing Options and Discounts
If you want to finance a phone through Telus, it will cost an extra $5 per month on these plans, which is lower than before when it was $10. The listed prices also include a discount of $10 per month if you set up pre-authorized bank payments. Additionally, customers can save another $15 monthly by bundling their mobile plan with home services from Telus.
Plan Features
All of these plans come with unlimited data usage. However, once you hit your data limit, speeds drop to 512Kbps. Each plan also includes unlimited calling within Canada and international texting options. For those interested in streaming content, Telus offers mobile users a significant discount-39% off its Stream+ Premium bundle for six months.
Comparing Alternatives
While these deals are better than previous rates from Telus, they might not be the most competitive on the market right now. For instance, Freedom Mobile has a plan priced at $59 per month, offering 100GB of 5G data that covers Canada as well as roaming in both the U.S. and Mexico-plus an additional 25GB of roaming data included.
In contrast, similar offerings from Telus require customers to bring their own devices and are limited strictly to Canadian coverage only.
Other budget-friendly options exist too; providers like Public Mobile offer comparable features at lower prices than both Freedom Mobile and Telus.
Sale Duration
This weekend sale runs until May 21st. Customers have time to consider their options before making any decisions about switching or signing up with one of these discounted plans offered by Telus.
By taking advantage of this sale while comparing other providers' offerings carefully, consumers can find a wireless plan that fits their needs without breaking the bank.
