How to Cancel Telus
Cancel Telus without surprise charges. Minimum term, early-exit fees, returning equipment, and why bundled streaming add-ons keep billing.
The short answer
Telus costs CAD 45.00/month. You keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for, so cancelling early does not lose you time. Add-on packages billed with Optik TV cannot be cancelled through the individual service apps.

Depends on contract terms. Ask for the final billing date in writing.
Before you cancel entirely
Before cancelling, compare a lower plan or a SIM-only or rolling plan with the same provider. It often removes most of the cost without switching numbers or returning equipment.
The category with contracts, not buttons
Phone, internet and TV plans are the part of household spending where cancelling is most often a contractual process rather than a button. Minimum terms, device payment plans and notice periods decide what leaving costs — and none of that is visible on the monthly bill.
Bundles hide other subscriptions
Carriers increasingly bundle streaming, music or cloud storage into the plan. Those services end with the plan — and if you also subscribed to one of them directly, you may be paying for it twice today. Read every line of the bill before you cancel anything.
A cheaper plan is often the better first move
Switching involves number transfers, equipment returns and sometimes installation. Retention offers are common in this category, so it is worth asking what a lower or SIM-only plan would cost with the same provider before you leave.
If you are charged after cancelling
- •Keep the cancellation confirmation. An email or a screenshot showing the date is the document that resolves this, and it is much easier to save now than to reconstruct later.
- •If you are charged after cancelling, contact the provider first with the confirmation attached. Most reverse the charge without argument when presented with a timestamped confirmation.
- •If the provider does not resolve it, your bank or card issuer can reverse the payment. Card networks treat a charge after a documented cancellation as a straightforward chargeback, and the confirmation is the evidence you need.
- •For recurring card payments you can also instruct your bank to block future payments to that merchant. In the EU and UK, banks are required to honour this instruction even if the merchant continues to request payment.
