TELUS + GSM...Hmm
 
http://www.reportonbusiness.com/serv...telusstaff0114

OK article from the folks at the Globe. Hmm...Telus going GSM (LTE I guess) for 4G, or rather, just before it? Like the article says, they better do it soon if they want to do it!

On a related note, they talked about possible GSM networks from Telus to get some of that yummy roaming revenue when 2010 comes around. That being said...Bell's the official phone dudes for 2010....haah wtf? Maybe they're going GSM very soon too.. :p

telus is coming to gsm? :S interesting.

+Kardboard+ 01-14-2008 07:49 PM

Not for sure, but I've been hearing rumours for a little while. Kinda makes sense, if you ask me, but who am I? :p

JKam 01-14-2008 07:55 PM

so.. what would happen to the existing telus customers who are already on cdma...?

+Kardboard+ 01-14-2008 08:13 PM

Maybe they'll get free RAZRs.... :lol

on a more serious note though, this should be interesting to watch.

BBMme 01-14-2008 08:32 PM

wycked 01-14-2008 10:30 PM

That would be sweet.. c'mon telus, do it

LoWeR-CaSe-VoWeLS 01-14-2008 10:34 PM

Culture_Vulture 01-14-2008 10:49 PM

^yup

where are all those Telus CDMA fanboys?

!Aznboi128 01-15-2008 08:36 AM

NO telus stick w/ cdma go suck on your stupid cdma phones never come over to gsm

we @ the gsm hate your sorry ass...


sorry i hate telus they billed me for 400+ dollars a while ago for talking over their so called unlimited incoming. so they billed me 400+ bucks i called them and complained. they said the promo starts later, but the sales rep told me on the day. so argued and went to sales rep he said i was right and he talked to telus but still in the end i lost 400 bucks to telus.

same thing happened when i was w/ rogers but i got my 1200 back =D

You talk too much for our North American cellular networks to support you. :lol

+Kardboard+ 01-15-2008 12:31 PM

But not a GSM one! :D Party it up like it's 2004. :D

GSM will definitely do that to you.


Perhaps they will keep the CDMA network and phase out slowly like what rogers did with TDMA heh.

That's very probable, should they decide to go GSM/UMTS/HSDPA/LTE/whatever-5G-will-be. :p

Don't forget to keep your hair buzzed, leave your bangs long, and dye the tips really blond. Unless you're already blond, then you could dye them, uh, black. haha

Bonjour43MA 01-15-2008 04:31 PM

acutally it's gonna be some kind of HSDPA/EVDO hybrid network.... 3G ftw, baby.

Bonjour43MA 01-15-2008 04:39 PM

and... if Apple announces a 3G iPhone, don't be surprised to see it on Telus.


one can only dream.... lol

I'd rather have a new provider come in for some competition. Feels a bit ridiculous to pay $6/mth for CID when it used to be $5 for both VM and CID only a few years ago... and paying $15/mth for 2mb of data is just plain stupid.

Expresso 01-15-2008 05:44 PM

lol. They have 5 for 5 or 10 for 10. Or you could get the $5 for 10mb vision plan too.

Telus, in this case, would be a new carrier. Rogers should not be the only national carrier offering GSM/HSDPA.

TELUS looking to add GSM
 
Lots of Articles. Just google TELUS and GSM
