    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.
