You might as well get a new phone from Telus. I had an i355, that I bought from them, and after 6 months of fighting with them and taking the phone into their repair shops, their only response was that the phone was set to text only in the US and that I had to buy a new phone if I wanted to text. I finally gave up arguing with them and got a different phone (the i580), but before I left the store I made sure all the "Telus approved" functions worked. I am seriously concidering cancelling all my Telus contracts (7 phones) and going to data phones on Bell. Just another instance of Telus screwing over the customer.
