Loyalty Offer = Double my current plan?

I've had my current phone since 2018. It works great but it's starting to have issues charging, but nothing having a charging bank in my bag won't help with.

Telus is offering me "loyalty rewards" options to upgrade my phone (I have been with Telus for 15+ years).

I found a phone I liked, but the lowest plan for any new phone is double what my current plan is with less services? I only started this plan 2 years ago when they offered it to me. How the heck do they call doubling your plan in two years a "reward for loyalty"? 

Also trying access any customer service is near impossible - support won't even load in the app?

    Buy your own phone outright. You will be forced to over priced plans to get a 'free' or cheap phone from the provider. You can get phones with warranty that are referbs/renewed for a good price or buy new. Telus's own Mobile Klinik stores sell renewed or Amazon renewed. Buy new at Costco. Keep your original plan.

  • We were with Telus since 2006.  We just ported our numbers out to Freedom Mobile this week.   We couldn’t be happier and should have done this a long time ago.  Their customer service has been fantastic so far.
