TELUS Home Service Vacation Suspension
What is a vacation suspension?
It is the ability to temporarily suspend and pause your home services and pay a reduced rate while you're away.
Is there a charge?
If you have TELUS SmartHome Security, you'll be able to suspend your Home Phone for free. You will not be able to suspend your internet service as SmartHome Security relies on it to stay active. If you don't have TELUS SmartHome Security, there is a $15/month charge for each service you suspend.
How long can I put my services on vacation suspension?
You can suspend your services for a minimum of one month (30 days) and a maximum of six months, and can suspend them once every 12 months.
Will my home security system still work?
If you currently subscribe to a non-TELUS home security service, and that service requires your phone line or High-Speed internet to work, you'll need to leave that particular service active.
Can I check my voicemail while I’m gone?
No. All calling features, including voicemail, are suspended entirely.
Will I have access to my TELUS email?
Yes! Your telus.net email address remains active and you can access your email anywhere in the world via webmail.
What happens if I come back early?
Just give us 48 hours' notice of the date change and we’ll have your services working when you return.
I received a free gift or discounted pricing when I signed up. Will I be charged a cancellation fee?
Because you’re only suspending your service temporarily, there's no cancellation fee. Plus, vacation suspension does not extend the length of your service agreement.
