This isn't a special trick or coupon offer or anything like that, it's more like a suggestion. When I walked out of the Telus store after pruchasing my Touch Pro 2, I left with more features, more airtime minutes and a lower monthly bill!
It may seem obvious, but to those who are buying a TP2, request get on the line with Telus and first of all ask for any special offers that they can give you. I instantly got $150 the sale price (I was buying mine with no contract). After that I asked if there was any way to lower my monthly bill.
My plan was ok, but I wasn't satisfied. Here is what I previously had:
$30 - Your Choice 30 (150 anytime minutes plus 1000 texts per month)
$5 - Call Display
$5 - Voicemail 5
$15 - Unlimited data plan (unlimted email, IM, web browsing. This was actually a sick deal I got with my Diamond)
Free evenings and weekends
Total: $55/month, not to mention access fees and taxes.
I left with:
$20 - Sweet Deal 20 (200 anytime minutes)
$10 - Loyalty package 15 (call display, voicemail 5, unlimited texting!!!)
$15 - Unlimited data plan
Free evening and weekends
Total: $45/month
So, I lowered my rate plan by $10 while also gaining unlimted texting and 50 more anytime minutes! Not to mention the $150 off my phone, and selling my Diamond for $200
Give it a try! It's worth a shot. Oh any by the way, the TP2 is AMAZING! I love it.
