Community Power UserTelus hasn't announced anything yet. With the older Optik platform, it was tied to one specific physical connection / line. The newer Android TV based boxes are not. They're tied to an account instead. I'm not sure if there's even a secure way to get the phone equipment to even communicate with the Android boxes. There's the older copper phone system and the newer fibre one.
n addition since the Telus Android TV based boxes aren't required for the new Optik, there may be less incentive to bring the feature, if it's even possible. Some users opt to go without a Telus set top box entirely and are using Apple TVs, one of two other compatible Android TV devices (Shield, Chromecast w/Google TV), or are just using their cell phone, tablet or PC.
