TELUS Mobile Discount?

ReillyWood — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 17:02:13 GMT

We're moving to TELUS Optik from Shaw - does PM qualify as a Telus Mobile # for the integrated discount?

I wouldn't think so. No Telus account associated with PM.

PM is a subsidiary of Telus but it is a third tier provider so I doubt it would qualify.

That's too bad. But thank you for the quick response.

No problem. It wouldn't hurt to ask, but don't be disappointed if they refuse. Good luck.

@ReillyWood , mobile is "very competitive" and maybe due to regulation, it does not bundle with other services. I have been with big red for ages and have never seen any offerings for cheap cellular service in a bundle.

Yeah don't take our words for it.

I had Telus ADSL and landline and moved over to Mobility internet and phone when I moved and had to ask real nice to keep my Telus account kind of alive. I'm moving again and will probably be back in the fold with Telus. But I doubt that was like bundling...just a customer service gesture since I was still with Telus as a whole (though not a sub-brand).

Thanks @will13am. FYI, Telus offers a discount of something like $10 per month on some of their bundling packages if you also have Telus mobile, so I was hoping to take advantage of that.

No.

Did you negotiate your price with Telus?

Re: TELUS Mobile Discount?

ReillyWood — Mon, 25 May 2020 17:22:31 GMT

Somewhat. Maybe not as fully as I could.

No. Telus does not even accept Koodo service for more discount.

Remember to sign up for Telus Reward. 20 points = $20 = You can use it to pay you monthly bills or rent movies etc.

Be careful with Optik 2 years agreement which is not a 2 years contract for price protection.

2 years agreement guarantees the amount of account credit for 2 years. Therefore, if Telus have price increase to the Optik service, your monthly fee will go up.

Telus used to offer $5 per service bundle discounts if you had two or more services including home phone, internet & TV. You could request they added your Telus mobility phone for an additional $5 discount on your home services bill. Then they cut the discounts to $3 each and finally eliminated them. But it seems as though everything gets negotiated now and I too have heard of some items in their portfolio getting a $5 loyalty discount with another $5 discount being available if you have mobility cell phone Plan. I highly doubt that they would consider PM plans but can always ask.

Yes, I received email every week from Telus to up sell me to Telus with $10 off and $0 any smartphone. But not Public Mobile. I know Telus and PM billing systems are not connected because I use the same email address for my Telus and one of my PM account. Both systems are using email address as the username to login.

The question is....what gets you a point? And you must subscribe to at least 2 Telus products.

They recently bought out ADT. So any ADT customer will be contacted by Telus.

The days of a contract vs agreement are long gone as they used to guarantee no price increase. BUT they do have price protection today if you ask for it.

Good to know. Thanks.

@ReillyWood Just ask TELUS. You never know without asking.
Though, do let us know how much they laugh.

LOL - will do!

Best prices are from “loyalty” and situated in Canada.

I think the prices at Public Mobile are low enough that you will still be saving money overall compared to getting a few bucks off of a real Telus Mobility plan...
