Telus or Bell -- which is better in BC/Alberta?

My Bell contract's up and I need a new phone. Thinking of switching to Telus.

Would really appreciate opinions on network quality from anyone who's used both Telus and Bell mobility in western Canada. (Not really concerned with customer service -- I almost never require it and am familiar with the good and bad sides of both companies.)

Hi, Telus is a BC compagny. Telus help Bell for roaming !
when Bell costumer go to bc he use the telus tower.
And with telus you must have a best costumer service

Good choice! ; )

... I dunno ... something is up with Bell ... they have horrible service these days. Hearing this from many people (in Ontario anyways).

Rogers.

Hahahaha. So long as you're staying in major center's and not travelling anywhere further than about 200km north of PG, then they are the greatest.

They have the most accomodating plans, the coolest phones, and by far the BEST customer service staff out of any other SP in BC...and, in BC...if you like accurate bills, stick with Bell...If you want customer service: telus...

Also, Bell has the best EPP plans (Employee Purchase Plans)....even if you don't work for someone, a rep SHOULD put you on the "Preferred 100" plan....it's ****in unreal.

i feel telus is the way to go out here unfortunatley.

I am not 100% certain bout out there, but here all of my friends on Telus seem to have really expensive bills (same with rogers) and with Bell we have low bills, but horrible customer service. Look for rate plans that suit your best interest, who has best coverage area, and who has the phone you want

Bell has better plans i think..

but as far as service (phone and customer) it's really not much different.

(i have telus and my wife has bell)

ppatko

Why's that ? Fort Nelson has Bell, Fort St John has Bell, and Bell will start working pretty soon in Watson Lake, Teslin, Dawson City, etc. Already works as far north as Whitehorse.

And I suggest Bell. If you ever move, you can get a local number just about anywhere in Canada. And in 3 years, you never know what can happen.
