Like many other phone service providers, Telus plans to roll out 5G some time in the second half of 2020. In some areas of Canada, such as Vancouver, residents and business owners have already enjoyed early trial access. Telus is currently in the process of upgrading 4G technologies, including network-related software, hardware and cell towers, to make the switch when it's time as smooth and seamless as possible. It's important to keep in mind that Telus might charge you premium mobile phone plan rates at first to access 5G. Historically, these rate hikes decrease the first year or two after this type of network upgrade. You must also have a 5G-capable phone or other device to use the 5G technologies. Any changes related to Huawei and security might delay the 5G rollout. Telus plans to update all customers as new information becomes available.
