$10.00 prepaid plan
After my expensive plan with another carrier expired I search for a new plan and found the Telus $10.00 prepaid plan. Just what I wanted. We are seniors and do not use the cell for other than emergen...

I find this very interesting.
I am doing this so others who are considering this plan will have information should they choose to search.
I logged into my account and went to "change plans and add ons.
It stated that i had "ticked the box - auto renew upon expiration from account balance"
At the bottom in notes under #3 it said - "and I copy and paste " 3. 30-day rate plans and add-ons expire after 30 days and are set to automatically renew every 30 days by default. Rate plans and add-ons are only available when you have sufficient credits in your account to pay the rate plan or add-on price. When you buy any 30-day rate plan or add-on and have less than 30 days left on your balance, the balance expiry date will be extended so the rate plan/add-on and balance can be renewed on the same day. The 15¢/minute rate does not apply to Pay Per Day add-ons or subscriptions.
This makes me wonder that if I put $10.00 in the account 2 days before it expires and it renews but if I put $11.00 in the account what happens to the extra dollar. Does it not sit there. Does it not carry the extra dollar in the account and the next month would I not need only $9.00 to renew.
As I am not that busy these days I plan to look into this further and will post it.
Please do not misunderstand. I am not trying to be objectionable but rather posting information for the future in case others find the account attractive.
I have $79.00 in the account and we will see if Telus takes the money and my account is cancelled as I do not put money in the account within 30 days before the expiration date.

I can use the phone and plan to get data on the wifi at home and at Tim's and the like.
I understand that I can turn the data on on the phone and that I can use Telus's data at a rate posted as - and I copy and paste
Talk & text
, $0.50 per message.
If I do not carry a balance in the account, how does Telus get prepaid for the extra usage?
This is one of the attractive features of the plan was that if I ever really got in a pinch that I could use the data although it was expensive.
