Telus' CDMA-to-HSPA customer migration system caught doing its thing

What's that, dear Telus subscriber? That, friend, is the look of inevitability. The look of a relentless march in the direction of GSMA-loved, 3GPP-approved standards. The look of what Telus employees across Canada will be seeing over the coming months as they port customers to HSPA hardware. We still don't know exactly when the carrier is flipping the switch on its shiny new network, but subsidiary Koodo is already showing SIMs on its site, so it can't be long now. So, does CAD $25 sound reasonable for the pleasure of making the switch?

I can't wait for the switch, just so I can start getting my hands on unlocked phones again. The HTC Touch with its dirt cheap internet plan on Bell has served me well (and is almost worth keeping solely as a dongle for my laptop), but CDMA is on its way out.

this is telus we are talking about you know. they will have something in place to restrict non-telus phones from being used. the imei process may be just that.

I really hope that virgin gets sim cards. Telus is allowing koodo to have sim apparently :S
