TELUS offers customers broadest coverage, fastest technology, and
exciting new devices

Vancouver, B.C. – TELUS today announced that it will launch Canada's largest 3G+ network on November 5, 2009.

The new next generation wireless network is the latest enhancement to TELUS' multi-network mobile strategy, offering customers the technology for increased wireless data download speeds of up to 21 megabits per second, access to a world class selection of compelling mobile devices and international roaming service to more than 200 countries. This initiative also ensures a smoother transition to fourth generation (4G) wireless technology known as long term evolution (LTE).

“This is a great development for TELUS and consumers in Canada,” said Darren Entwistle, TELUS president and CEO. “Our new wireless network enables advanced speeds and services for more than 30 million Canadians based on the most innovative wireless technology available today. More importantly, it offers Canadians more choice and timely access to almost all major mobile devices in the world across TELUS' three leading wireless networks.”

With TELUS' new advanced wireless network, customers can experience dramatically faster download times for webpages, emails, songs, and movies.

TELUS will offer a number of exciting new devices from HTC, Huawei, LG, Nokia, RIM, Samsung, and Sierra Wireless in time for the holidays, including some on an exclusive basis.

This landmark network development for TELUS ends the monopoly access to iconic devices in Canada's wireless industry – for the first time giving consumers choice in service providers, smartphones and rate plans.

TELUS' existing wireless network portfolio includes Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology that powers Canada's largest third generation (3G) High Speed wireless network and TELUS' Mike network with its industry leading Push-to-Talk capability and business service. TELUS plans to support both of these leading networks for the foreseeable future, providing TELUS customers the full choice of wireless solutions that best suits their needs.
