As an existing TELUS client, what happens to my service?
Rest easy
Using the existing CDMA and Mike (iDEN) networks? TELUS continues to offer its CDMA and Mike (iDEN) services in parallel with 3G+, providing Canadians with more choice for years to come. Today, over 6 million TELUS clients subscribe to CDMA and Mike (iDEN) services. The addition of the new 3G+ network does not mean you will need to switch devices or change your services in any way; simply remain on CDMA and Mike (iDEN) or choose to move to one of our 3G+ devices with our simple upgrade process.**
* Comparing TELUS HSPA+ network service to Rogers HSPA+ network service, based on TELUS’ tests of data throughput speeds in large Canadian urban centres. Internet access speed provided by the network operator may vary due to the device being used, network congestion, distance from the cell site, local conditions and other factors. Speed on the Internet is beyond the wireless network operator’s control and may vary with your configuration, Internet traffic, website server and management policies, and other factors.
‡ Based on total square km comparison of Rogers HSPA and HSPA+ coverage with TELUS HSPA and HSPA+ coverage as of December 2009.
** Existing CDMA clients with rate plans that include data and/or data add-on features will need to upgrade their rate plan/feature to a new suite of similarly priced 3G+ data plan options.
