"At TELUS we are continously looking for ways to make the customer experience better and ensure we are providing our new and existing customers with clear and simple plans that are transparent and easy to understand," said Brent Johnston, vice-president, Mobility Solutions, TELUS.

With Data Sharing, TELUS helps customers reduce the risk of running up large bills by exceeding the limits of the data plans they have purchased. Data Sharing allows TELUS customers to share their monthly data plan allocations between subscribers and devices.

TELUS is putting customers first and embracing new ideas to make the TELUS experience better. In addition to its new rate plans, TELUS recently eliminated activation fees for both new and renewing customers and dramatically simplified its entire fee schedule. This builds on a series of improvements TELUS has made including eliminating carrier 911 and system access fees on all its Clear and Simple rate plans, reducing bill shock with Flex Data Plans, Data Notifications and Worry-free Travel, adding Caller ID and Voicemail as standard on all TELUS rate plans, simplifying device pricing with Anytime Upgrades and revolutionizing mobility contracts by introducing a Device Balance instead of the dreaded contract termination fee.
