Wanting to keep Telus email address after canceling Telus service
Can i keep my telus email after cancelling internet? If so is there a cost? thanks
Nighthawk it is still being offered. There's a charge so TELUS can pay Google to run the email through Google. Also, unlike "free" personal Gmail accounts which are supported by advertisements, TELUS email powered by Google does not display Google ads on the side bar or within the email inbox. In addition, TELUS Managed Google Accounts are governed by the TELUS privacy policy, which prevents Google from scanning all your emails, calendar, contacts, etc to deliver more targeted ads (as is done with "free" Personal Google Accounts).
DigDug Yes you can keep your telus.net email as stand alone service for $7/month. If your service is copper don't forget to inform the agent that you are keeping your email so they can cease and recover your email the same day before cancelling your High Speed. If you are a PureFibre customer you just need to advised the agent to keep your email since it's already provided as a stand alone service and you will automatically be billed $7 the billing cycle.

Community Power UserCorrect me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that from before Telus switched email providers to Google? I haven't heard of them offering the $7/month since that change.
