the systems I agree
restrictive business polices Not sure what you mean
straight greed against their customers. ie. volte, vowifi, expiring data add-ons, a pointless price hike. Not sure what you mean
I have other comments.....but there is no point.
I have a friend on the $100 plan. He says he uses about 4 minute and 4 texts a year on his iPhone 4s. A true emergency phone only. His wife is deaf. They do have another plan on a newer phone that they use when travelling and going out.
The $15 plan would be bang on if the mandate said prepaid.
I agree what that you find that Telus did have a match for ONE of the mandated plans.
Here is the Telus plan

Good point @dust2dust
BUT.
Here is what I see as the Mandate.
Not sure if Telus met the mandate in the Koodo or PM plans. But the PM $15 plan is a match other than the wording "Post Paid Occasional Use Plans"
Here is the Telus plan. NO Data included. AND if you use DATA on the Telus plan...it is VERY expensive.
So the Telus $15 plan does NOT meet the mandate.
And look at what the charges are per minute once used up your 100....15¢ a minute and if LD 75¢ a minute.
And there ARE extra fees with Telus Prepaid. Thus you always have to keep a balance with them. So their auto pay takes from balance first so you always have to do a manual top up to handle the extras (or no service). Been there done that!!!
So PM looks REALLY good now...don't they? No Extras, A bit of Data, LD and Canada Wide add ons that don't expire. And calls are about 1¢ a minute.
