By Kate ⋅ July 7, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Seems like Telus doesn’t want to miss the incoming text bandwagon. Starting August 24, 2008 new and existing customers will be charged 15¢ for incoming texts.  3 messaging bundles are available to add to your account: Messaging 250 ($5/month - 250 outgoing text/picture/video messages, unlimited incoming text/picture/video messages).  Messaging 2500 ($10/month - 2500 outgoing text/picture/video messages, unlimited incoming text/picture/video messages). Messaging Unlimited ($15/month - unlimited outgoing text/picture/video messages, unlimited incoming text/picture/video messages)

    1. I just emailed Telus from my Mobility account and asked them to remove any and all text message features.

      I don’t text - but I RECEIVE reminder and promotional texts from Telus, as well as the odd piece of spam.

      I have a contract, but am not taking a chance that I will have to pay for those unneeded messages.
