Telus Expands Roaming Options for Canadian Customers
Canadian mobile carriers are stepping up their game, and Telus is leading the charge with exciting new roaming features. The Vancouver-based company has recently enhanced its plans to include roaming services in 68 international locations.
Introducing the 5G+ Complete Explore Plans
Telus has replaced its previous 5G+ Complete Canada/U.S./Mexico/Caribbean plans with a fresh offering called the 5G+ Complete Explore plans. While these new plans maintain many of the same benefits as before, they now come with a important upgrade: expanded roaming options. Previously limited to long-distance calls in just 27 countries, customers can now enjoy unlimited data, talk, and text not only within Canada but also across those additional international destinations.
A Closer Look at Plan Features
The Complete explore plans retain several appealing features from their predecessors.for $100 per month (or $95 for those who bring their own devices),users receive an impressive 250GB of high-speed 5G+ data,capped at speeds of up to 2Gbps.These plans also include a five-year price guarantee and a daily Easy Roam option priced at $5 per day. Additionally, customers can take advantage of premium financing options that lower device financing costs through Telus.

- U.S.: This includes all states plus areas like Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
- Mexico & Caribbean: Covers aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, dominican Republic, Guyana, Jamaica, Mexico among others.

The Competitive Landscape
This expansion is quite significant for one of Canada's major carriers. Notably timed after Bell and Rogers introduced similar offers allowing unlimited long-distance calls to select countries—Telus's move positions it competitively against other providers like Freedom Mobile.
Freedom Mobile currently bundles Canada/U.S./Mexico roaming into most of its offerings while providing various levels of ‘Roam Beyond’ service that allows unlimited talk and text along with some data usage across over 120 destinations worldwide. Although Freedom doesn’t offer completely unlimited roaming either; it does have an edge when it comes to pricing—offering a $69 plan for 200GB compared to Telus’s $95 plan for BYOP customers which provides slightly more data at higher cost.
The Future Looks Shining
The introduction of these new roaming options by Telus is promising; hopefully other providers will feel inspired to enhance their offerings as well! With just one more destination added into the mix—who knows how much better things could get?
