Ok people, for this post I’d like some feedback. I just did a write up in regards to a rumor that Solo Mobile is being re-branded and appeal to the new landscape of “unlimited talk and text,” and it got me thinking, “What makes you choose who to sign with?” Each carrier brings its own [...]

What you are seeing here is an invite recently sent to Telus employees for a hands-on training with the forthcoming 2.1 powered HTC Desire. No word yet on a official release date, but rumor has it pinpointed for a launch around the end of July. Expect more information on this exciting device in the coming weeks. [...]

How nice! Telus had decided to take the magnanimous approach to data overage fees by informing customers that they’re reaching the tail end of their data allowance via SMS. Users will be notified at 75% and 95% of their usage. The SMS is free even if you don’t have a text plan. Here are some [...]

This morning, Robert McFarlane, CFO of Telus, is giving a talk on the company’s future in the mobile industry. He says that the stark rise in data usage per customer has not been able to offset the loss of voice-based revenue, as many people rely on SMS and other data-based forms of communications, which are [...]

With WWDC over for another year and many Canadians still in shock that we will have to wait just a “bit” longer than our worldy counterparts to hold this sexy beast, that didn’t stop Telus from being the first Canadian carrier to announce plans their intentions to launch it. Though no official date has been [...]

$50 for unlimited iPad data? Not so much. Last week when Telus announced their iPad plans, it was not obvious whether, after maxing out your $20/500MB plan and paying 5c/MB thereafter, there would be a hard limit on the amount of data you can use. Low and behold, on their newly-live iPad page, they state [...]

Not that it’s surprising, considering we’ve shown you the Telus Micro SIM already, but the West Coast-based company may have been smoking a bit too much of the ganja to release this crap. Or is it? You decide: $20 for 500MB data (compared at $15 for 250MB on Rogers/Bell/Fido), with an additional 5c/MB up to [...]

To date the only Canadian carrier to confirm their support of the infamous iPad 3G is Rogers Wireless. Other than being a revolutionary device, one of its key features is the new, smaller MicroSIM card (which will also be featured in the iPhone HD). Low and behold, Our friends at Mobile Syrup received spy-shots of the [...]

Pretty simply, we’ve known Koodo (who is owned by Telus) will be getting the BlackBerry 8530 for a number of weeks now. We knew that it was going to arrive sometime late in May, and be around $150 on the tab (or $300 outright). This is now confirmed. The two things we didn’t know were [...]

Does this mean Telus will get another go at a beautiful mid-range HTC Android device? The HTC Legend was released earlier this year to much fanfare, mostly because it was an upgraded version of the extremely successful HTC Hero. Telus got the HTC Hero in its unaltered form in late 2009, and has been advertising [...]
