Interesting development. Telus is abolishing the $35 charge for activating a device for new customers or the $25 exchange fee for existing customers upgrading a device on their account effective November 1.
I read the article as saying they are only charging $10 if you need a new sim card, not if you are swapping service from one sim to another. What is WIND charging for a sim card?? WIND charges $25 for sim.
"A new SIM card is only required when customers dont already have a compatible TELUS SIM card for their device. "
Honestly Elwood, relax This is a great move by telus.
They have 20-30 secs spots. They use 5 secs to say "we abolished activation fees", filling up the remaining seconds of the commercial with nonsense crap no one cares about... in both languages!
They have plenty of seconds left to mention the SIM card is now 10$.
