Returning a device or an accessory

For an exchange or refund, your purchase must be in near new condition with all of its original packaging, accessories and bundled content. You may be charged for usage incurred if you have used more than 30 voice minutes, more than 50 texts or more than 50 megabytes of data on the device you’re returning.
Note: Once activated, SIM cards cannot be exchanged or refunded.

If we determine that your device is defective in the first 15 days following your purchase, TELUS will replace the device free of charge. After that 15-day period, TELUS will repair or replace your device depending on your warranty coverage and the physical state of your device.
Device passwords, personal data and locks are removed:
Please remove all personal data from any returned items (e.g. phonebook data, memory cards and passwords). Once the product is returned, it cannot be traced to recover personal data. TELUS is not responsible for any unauthorized use of personal data left on returned devices. For information on how to factory reset your phone, visit the “Preparing your device for return” section below.
Promotional gifts:
Any promotional gift you received within the exchange period is yours to keep, with our compliments. If you’re returning a phone that was eligible for promotional item(s) or gift(s) with purchase which were included in the original transaction (e.g. buy one, get one free, mail-in rebate, get a free gift card, etc.) the value of the promotional item(s) will not be deducted from the refunded amount.
