Additional services: Airtime summary notification
Airtime summary notification
Be on top of how many minutes you use, every week.
With airtime summary notification, you receive a weekly text message detailing how many minutes you have used and how many minutes you have left for the current billing month. There is a subscription fee and you also pay your regular rates for each text message.
Like other wireless carriers in Canada and worldwide, TELUS mobility bills airtime to clients from the moment network resources are used to either make or receive calls. Outgoing calls are billed from the time the caller initiates the call until the call ends. Incoming calls are also billed for the entire duration of the call, including the time it took to connect the call. We do not bill for any calls that are not connected.
