Data Block feature costing $2pm
Anyone know what this Data Block feature is all about. What if I decline? Thanks. Mikey
I have the same question, relating to a Prepaid phone with no data. Am i supposed to pay $2 a month to keep having no data?? This is so weird.

If you want to avoid pay-per-use data charges, keeping the data block in place is recommended. Otherwise, the data feature can be removed. Just keep in mind that without it, any accidental data usage could result in pay-per-use charges.
I don't want a data block at all on the account in question. Tell me how to decline it. Calling your office is not practical as the waits are looooooong
After January 20, 2026 and the 1st $2 fee billing cycle then you can do so without calling in, from you Telus account based on the email/text message that I received. But good luck!
"If you would like to remove this feature before the increase takes effect, please call us before January 20, 2026. After that date, you can add or remove this feature online or in store—along with the call-in option currently available—just like any other plan or add-on."
