read it carefully buddy we give away 400$ phones for free based on promos. its also based on how much you spend. thats why they back it up |
Is Telus going to be having any promos during this joyous occasion? This is there chance to gain some loyal customers, so they should be offering some great promos...if they were smart.
Shop around guys! I'm sure there will be some great promos and packages to be had. |

and they credit your account if more than 1% of your calls are dropped. |
Buddy I dont need to read it carefully! The point is you claim it's a free phone for being a loyal customer i.e every 3 years, but is its not free if you got to commit for another 2-3 year term!
Furthermore the $400 phone I can buy un-locked GSM for $200-$250. |

you see as per the WNP training i had, we dont scrounge for every last customer, unlike rogers and fido and bell on 20-35$ plans a month, we know we have a good coverage and good price and all our customers are willing to pay the price!
we saw the churn rate results as far as WNP goes, rogers 3-4% has the highest cancellation risks , then comes bell at 2% and lastly telus with a mere 1%
We know customers who are loyal and we already managed to keep them.
We dont need promos to bring customers into telus but yes we always have new activations promos going on. |

Yes if you use the service then why not commit? your not paying anything extra??
GSM is great but it also have its pros and cons. Unlocking the phone doesnt guarentee you to use it virtually any part of the globe. but i see your point. |

guys honestly - if you buy phones through providers, at least get it cheaper with a contract, please don't waste that ridiculous amount of money on phones which are considered old elsewhere
on related note, Mum's new baby :D stealing this whenever i get a chance!

Typical of MSNBC to ignore one of the most important reasons for not having the best cell phone networks: our landlines don't suck. In Europe they have to use their cell phones for this stuff.
Not the only reason, sure - there's definitely a bit of an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" attitude (which is sad in Canada, because here, it done broke). It's a chicken-and-egg problem, though. Here, people trust their land lines and don't trust cell phone carriers. Why then should a carrier try to improve their network quality when people don't trust them anyway? And as a consumer, why would you ever trust a cellular carrier knowing that this is how they think?
It was easy to get people to switch in Europe because they never trusted the land lines in the first place. North America, not so simple. |

What do you mean by *trust* a landline/cellphone provider? |
