Can't phone or text despite having a $13 plan.
I had to get a Data plan for a single month due to my home internet being out of commission for a few days. That plan ended yesterday but now I can't make or receive calls (even local calls) or texts ...
The $13 plan is basically useless. All you can do with it is make local phone calls, or use Messenger (NOT text) if you can hook up to a wifi. I live in BC, but was recently in Toronto airport and got separated from my wife. I tried to call her on my older iPhone which I carry only for emergency purposes. It wouldn't allow the call. I have paid Telus around $500 over the last 4 years to basically carry a brick around in my pocket. They have designed the plan to force you to pay them more money for a 'better' plan which actually allows you to use your phone.
