Transferring your globetrotter.net email address to telus.net: What you need to know
TELUS is migrating all customers to an upgraded email service. We are partnering with Google to make your email more reliable, secure and powerful.
TELUS email migration: What you need to know
To provide our customers with the best possible email experience, TELUS is in the process of transitioning all existing Globetrotter.net email, including all associated email addresses and accounts to a telus.net messaging account powered by Google.
For example, the address john.doe@globetrotter.net will become john.doe@telus.net.
This transition will require you to take action and will mean a change in how you access your Globetrotter.net email today.
Your data will remain under the governance of TELUS’ stringent privacy protocols. With TELUS email, you will not get ads on your email (unlike the publicly available Gmail) and you will continue to get support from TELUS.
We will migrate all your emails (including pictures and attachments within them), contacts, calendar events and alternative email accounts.
Once your account has been migrated, you will benefit from increased reliability via a globally-available cloud-based platform, enhanced security and 15 GB of storage space, which is triple the current storage capacity.
The Google platform that customers are migrating to is the enterprise-grade G Suite, trusted by governments, universities and leading businesses around the globe, including TELUS. Customers are not being migrated to the publicly available Gmail product and data remains under the governance of TELUS's stringent privacy protocols, in alignment with the TELUS Privacy Management Program.
