Share Button

Telus is all ready for the Holiday season and I’m super excited to share our favourite techy devices for the 2015 Holiday Season! As a customer of Telus for over 20 years, there is more than just great products which I rely upon from Telus.

TELUS is obsessed with delivering an unmatched customer experience and ensuring their customers get the most out of their new phone, accessories and connected products. As part of this commitment, TELUS offers personalized, one-on-one sessions with expert learning specialists through TELUS’ unique Learning Centres. TELUS Learning Specialists cover everything from basic device functionality to helpful tips and tricks for the most advanced users. If you’re looking for mobile health accessories for the fitness fanatic in your life, TELUS’ Health Tech Trainers will make sure you walk away with the best wearable that fits their health goals.

Both TELUS’ Learning Centre Specialists and Health Tech Trainer sessions are complimentary, and can be booked online or in-store. With a TELUS Learning Centre session, your loved one can feel confident using their new smartphone, accessories or wearable tech to its full potential!

These are just some examples of the kind of support you receive as a Telus customer. This year Telus has provided a very important reminder for my readers:

While holiday tech gifts are always fun, it’s also important to remember to give your devices a break and find some time this holiday season to get into Holiday Mode. TELUS believes that during the holidays there’s no greater connection than the human connection.  And while we’re always looking at ways to give our customers awesome service all year long, we also recognize that sometimes, the best present is being present with those who matter most. Starting December 7, visit telus.com/expect more for tips on getting into Holiday Mode.
