Plans: Starting on March 7, 2010, Telus prepaid will offer a rate of 30 cents per minute for all of its top-up cards. That rate decreases to 20 cents per minute if a customer purchases a 30-day feature. These include unlimited calling to one number for 7 dollars per month, unlimited weekend calling and messaging for 20 dollars per month, unlimited early nights and weekends starting at 6 p.m. for 25 dollars per month, and unlimited early nights and weekends starting at 6 p.m. plus unlimited messaging for 35 dollars. Customers can add 10 dollars to the last plan to add unlimited incoming local calls and unlimited messaging all month long. The early nights and weekends, early nights and weekends plus messaging, and the unlimited incoming plan can also be purchased on a per-day basis, for 1 dollar, $1.50, and 2 dollars per day, respectively. Customers will not receive the 20 cents per minute rate, however. All plans come with unlimited local calling on your birthday. Until March 7, the 10 dollar card provides a rate of 40 cents per minute, the 25 dollar card 33 cents, the 50 dollar card 25 cents, and the 100 dollar card 40 cents.  Read more about Telus plans
