Why Students Choose TELUS at Bolt Wireless
Student life demands a lot of data and not a lot of cash. TELUS student plans deliver both — and Bolt Wireless makes getting set up fast and easy.
Extra Data at Lower Prices
TELUS student plans include bonus data compared to regular plans at the same price — or the same data at a reduced monthly cost. Either way, you come out ahead.
Phone Financing Options
Get the latest flagship phones with financing on qualifying 2-year plans. iPhone 16, Pixel 9, Galaxy S25 — ask in store for current pricing.
No Credit History? No Problem.
Many students don't have established credit. TELUS offers options including lower deposits, Koodo prepaid, and BYOD plans that work for any credit situation.
BYOD Savings
Already have a phone? Bring your own device and pay less each month than on plans with device financing. Keep the phone you love, pay less.
Koodo Budget Option

Student Plan FAQs
Common questions about TELUS and Koodo student plans.
Who qualifies for TELUS student plans?
TELUS student plans are available to currently enrolled students at any accredited Canadian college, university, or post-secondary institution. You'll need a valid student ID to verify eligibility. Part-time and full-time students both qualify.
How much can I save with a TELUS student plan compared to regular plans?
TELUS student plans cost less each month than regular plan pricing, or include significantly more data for the money. Over a 2-year term the savings add up, and you can still finance a new phone on a qualifying plan. Ask in store for current pricing.
Can I get a TELUS student plan if I have no credit history?
Yes. TELUS offers student-friendly options including lower security deposits for those with limited credit history. If credit is a concern, Koodo prepaid plans require no credit check at all and run on the same TELUS network. Our staff will find the best option for your situation.
Is Koodo or TELUS better for students?
Both use the same network, so coverage is identical. TELUS student plans offer more data and flagship phone financing, making them better for students who want the latest phone. Koodo is better for students on a tight budget who want lower monthly costs or prefer prepaid with no commitment. We carry both at every Bolt Wireless store.
Can I bring my own phone to a TELUS student plan?
Absolutely. Bringing your own device (BYOD) lowers your monthly cost since there's no device financing on your bill. Your phone needs to be unlocked and compatible with the TELUS network. Our staff can check compatibility in-store for free.
What happens to my student plan after I graduate?
Your student plan pricing is typically locked in for the duration of your agreement (usually 2 years). After your term ends, you can renew at whatever current pricing is available, switch to a regular TELUS plan, or explore other options. You won't lose your number or service.
Do TELUS student plans include 5G?
Yes. All current TELUS student plans include access to the TELUS 5G network where available. You'll get the fastest speeds in areas with 5G coverage and seamlessly fall back to 4G LTE elsewhere.
When is the best time to get a TELUS student plan?
The biggest student promotions run from late July through September for back-to-school season, with a second wave in January for winter semester. However, TELUS student pricing is available year-round with valid student ID — so you can sign up whenever it's convenient.
Ready to Save with a TELUS Student Plan?
Bring your student ID to any Bolt Wireless store and get set up in minutes. More data, lower prices, flagship phone financing — it's a no-brainer.
