Telus phone with plan....FREE!

Hey y'all...

I'm trying to get rid of my Telus phone. I want to go with Rogers, mainly because of their phones SIM card capability, but I'm stuck in a Telus contract until 09/2007.

So I'm offering the plan and phone for free...just pay the $25 to switch my contract, and its yours!

The plan is a FIDO MATCH IT 45 plan..essentially a FIDO plan but on a Telus network.

You get:

-350 Anyime minutes (up to 250 of those minutes can be used for LONG DISTANCE CANADA).

-Unlimited nights and weekends (evenings after 7:00 pm, not 8:00 like most plans!)

-Caller ID

-Call waiting

-Call forwarding

-Voice mail (expanded voice mail)

The plan is $45 + the caller ID/voice mail....+$6.95 mandatory access fees. The total is around $68.00 with taxes and everything. It's a great plan if youre on the road alot, or make calls within canada to family and/or customers.

The phone is the Samsung SCH-A650 flip phone. Nothing too fancy, but its a good solid phone with a colour screen, and fancy ring-tone capability. Phone is 100% fine working condition, with a few minor nicks/scratches.

Any questions..lemme know!

Thanks,

Jon

does telus use GSM technology?

Posted by all-nite-freak on Dec-19-2005 22:36:

how long left on the *shudders* contract

Telus = CDMA

Posted by Soundwerks on Dec-19-2005 23:46:

yes, telus is CDMA, not GSM/GPRS.

The contract expires Sept 2007..so thats a bit more than a year and a half....(or a bit less than 2 years...depends on how you wanna look at it!)

It's a great plan, especially if you do a lot of long distance calling and/or daytime calling.

Also, I think with Telus, you can just call them up and switch plans whenever you want to, and still remain within your contract terms. So if you dont like the plan, you can just change it!

Any other questions lemme know

it is a good plan indeed

Hope Telus switches to WCDMA or UMTS.

This country needs a provider with some sort of 3G backbone!

would you like to take it over?

Posted by fastmp3 on Dec-20-2005 01:18:

and would you like to buy an Ecler mixer with that ?

just kidding

Posted by Soundwerks on Dec-20-2005 01:34:

Yes! Buy any ECLER mixer, and get the phone (and plan) FREE!!!!! LIMITED TIME OFFER!

Soundwerks, you should ask Telus to give you 350 more minutes. 350 + 350 bonus = 700 for $45.

Thats what they're offering now. They give it to existing customers as well. This might make it easier for you to find someone who is willing to take over your line.

And if you want a Rogers phone, come see me. I work there.

Posted by Soundwerks on Dec-20-2005 14:25:

350 more minutes? I dunno if they'll do that...I mean, it's 350 anytime minutes, with up to 250 LONG DISTANCE minutes included, PLUS free nights and weekends after 7pm (not 8pm like they have now)...so I think it's a good plan for the price already!

I'll ask em about the bonus 350 mins...but I doubt they'll give it to me.

Which rogers store do you work at? I'm planning on going to Rogers...

Posted by Soundwerks on Dec-20-2005 19:34:

sounds like a good plan!

But the reason mine is more expensive is because it includes long distance minutes....and more daytime minutes, which is where other plans get more expensive.

My plan has 350 DAYTIME minutes, which is a good amount, AND, up to 250 of those minutes can be used as LONG DISTNACE minutes.

So if you do the math, Telus is currently offering $0.25/min for long distance. At 250 min, thats $62.50!

Even at a better rate, 10cents per min, its still $25 extra.

Also, my evenings start at 7pm, not 8pm like most plans. And the enhanced voicemail, with up to 10 messages stored.

So for $52/mo (plus taxes/CRTC), its a pretty good plan
