Credit Check

I'm 18 and I want to buy a phone plan with Telus but I do not have a credit card. I do have a Social insurance number, and would be paying with my CIBC Debit card. How will the credit check go and can I open an account Telus? Will there be any problems?
  • Hi there! To legally activate on postpaid service (term or month to month), you must be of legal age in your province of residence along with 2 of the following IDs and you will be good to proceed with a credit check. 

    • Social Insurance Number (optional, but preferred)
    • Canadian major credit card (Visa, MasterCard or American Express)
    • Non-expired Driver's License number, Province of issue, and the expiry date
