- Telus Prepaid stops accepting new activations on July 1, 2026, as confirmed by the company.
- New customers are being redirected to Koodo Mobile, running on the same network.
- Koodo prepaid starts at $29/month as the direct replacement for TT100.
- Existing Telus Prepaid customers are not immediately cut off
If you've been coasting on a Telus prepaid plan because it just works, this news will feel a little annoying. That kind of low-maintenance, pay-what-you-use setup has a loyal following for a reason: no contracts, no credit checks, no drama.
Telus confirmed on its official prepaid page that it will no longer accept new prepaid plan activations after July 1, 2026. The notice specifically calls out the Talk & Text 100 (TT100) plan. In place of its own prepaid offering, Telus is pointing new customers to Koodo Mobile, the Telus-owned brand that's been running on the same towers for years.
Koodo prepaid plans: What's available after July 1
Here's the good news: you're not losing the Telus network. Koodo runs on the same 4G LTE infrastructure, so the coverage you had before follows you over.
Koodo's monthly 30-day plans are more data-generous than the old Telus Prepaid lineup ever was, and the $149 360-day plan is the closest like-for-like replacement for TT100. All plans require BYOD (bring your own device) and have no contracts or credit checks.

TELUS TT100 plan ending: What happens to your current account
The TT100 was Telus' $149-per-year prepaid plan covering basic talk and text for 360 days. As of July 1, no new TT100 activations will be accepted.
If you're currently on TT100 and your plan runs past July 1, your service won't be cut off mid-cycle. What happens at renewal is less clear — Telus hasn't published a public migration guide, and at least one community forum thread shows the question was resolved privately with TELUS Support rather than answered publicly.
Pro tip: How to switch from TT100 to Koodo
If you're replacing TT100, Koodo's $149 360-day plan is the direct swap — same network, same annual billing, same price. To keep your current number, initiate a port-in during Koodo activation before your TELUS plan expires. Porting after expiry may result in losing the number.
What Telus still hasn't explained about the cutoff
Heads up: Unanswered questions from TELUS
TELUS has confirmed the July 1 cutoff but hasn't detailed what "renewal" looks like for existing customers whose plans expire after that date. There's also no announced automatic migration or number-porting assistance. If you want to move to Koodo and keep your number, you'll need to start that process yourself.
Porting a number between carriers is a standard process and takes a few minutes inside the Koodo activation flow. You'll need your Telus account number and the transfer PIN to complete the transfer.
Is Koodo prepaid worth it?
For most former Telus Prepaid customers, yes, you're staying on the same network with more data at comparable or lower prices. But Koodo isn't the only Telus-network option worth considering.
Koodo vs. alternatives
| Plan | Network | Data | Roaming | Price | In-store support | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Koodo Prepaid | Telus LTE | 80GB | Canada only | $34/mo | Yes | View plan |
| Public Mobile | Telus 5G | 26GB | CAN/US/MEX | $35/mo | No | View plan |
| Freedom Mobile | Freedom 5G | 26GB | CAN/US/MEX | $35/mo | Yes | View plan |
Comparison reflects similar-priced plans from other carriers. Public Mobile and Freedom Mobile plans include North American roaming; Koodo's monthly plan is Canada-only. Freedom Mobile operates its own network, not Telus.
Koodo's edge over Public Mobile is physical retail: if you'd rather walk into a store to troubleshoot an issue or activate a new SIM, Koodo is the only Telus-network prepaid option that gives you that. Public Mobile is fully online-only. Freedom Mobile has stores and matches Public Mobile on price and roaming, but runs on a separate network with less rural reach.
What to do before the July 1 Telus prepaid deadline
If you're currently on Telus Prepaid, check when your plan expires. If it runs past July 1, your service continues until expiry — but plan your Koodo move before you need to renew. If you're a new customer who was planning to activate Telus Prepaid, skip Telus' prepaid page entirely and go straight to Koodo.
