TELUS Wireless Home Phone
TELUS wireless home phone service.
A wireless home phone keeps a landline number and a normal handset in the house, but connects over the mobile network instead of a physical phone line. It suits households that want to keep a number they have had for decades, and properties where a traditional line is unreliable or no longer worth maintaining.
Who This Is Actually For
Mostly two groups. Older households where the home number is the number family and doctors use, and nobody wants to change it. And properties — often rural — where the copper line is old and faults are frequent enough to be a real problem. In both cases the appeal is the same: keep the handset and the habit, change what it runs over.
Keeping Your Existing Number
Your existing home number ports across, which is usually the entire reason for the conversation. Bring your most recent bill from the current provider and the account number — that is the part that stalls a transfer when it is missing. The number stays in service through the move rather than going dark for a day.
- Keep your existing home phone number
- Uses your normal corded or cordless handset
- Runs over the mobile network, not a phone line
- No internet connection required
What It Does Not Do
It depends on mobile signal at the property, so if coverage in your house is poor this is not the right answer and we will say so rather than sell it to you. It is also worth knowing how it behaves in a power cut — a plugged-in device stops when the power does, unlike an old copper line. If a phone that works in an outage matters to you, raise that before you decide.
Setting It Up
The device plugs in at home and your existing handset plugs into it. There is no installation visit and no line work. We can check signal quality at your address before you commit, which matters more here than with any other product we sell — the service is only as good as the coverage in the room the phone sits in.
Keep Your Home Phone Without a Landline
The reliable home phone you depend on does not need old copper wiring anymore. TELUS Wireless Home Phone delivers crystal-clear calling over the TELUS wireless network using a small, plug-in device, no internet connection or phone jack required. It is an ideal landline replacement for households in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, especially in areas where traditional service is costly or unreliable. As an authorized TELUS dealer, Bolt Wireless makes the switch straightforward and affordable.
Keep Your Number and Your Routine
Switching does not mean starting over. You can keep your existing phone number and use the same corded or cordless handsets you already own, so calling feels exactly the same. Set up takes minutes: plug in the device, plug in your phone, and you are ready to dial. There are no contracts to untangle and no technician visit required to get talking.
- Keep your current home phone number when you switch
- No internet or home phone line needed to make and receive calls
- Works during a power outage with available battery backup
- Low monthly cost compared with a traditional landline
- Use your existing handsets, no new phones to buy
Peace of Mind in a Power Outage
When the power goes out, staying connected matters most. With backup battery support, TELUS Wireless Home Phone can keep working so you can reach family or emergency services when it counts. It is dependable home calling without the dependence on the electrical grid, a real advantage for rural and remote Canadian homes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep my current home phone number?
Yes. Your existing number ports across and stays in service through the move. Bring your latest bill and the account number from your current provider — without the account number the transfer cannot start.
Do I need internet for a wireless home phone?
No. It runs over the mobile network rather than over your internet connection, which is what makes it an option for properties where internet is limited or absent.
Does it work during a power cut?
The device is plugged in, so it stops when the power does — unlike an old copper landline, which drew power from the line itself. If having a phone during an outage matters to you, tell us before you decide and we will talk through the alternatives.
Will it work at my address?
It depends on mobile signal in your house, not just in your area. We can check coverage for your specific address before you commit. If the signal is poor we will tell you it is not the right product rather than selling it to you.
Can I keep using my existing handset?
Yes. Your normal corded or cordless phone plugs into the device, so nothing about how you use it changes. That is generally the point for the households who choose it.
TELUS Home Phone Plans: The Landline, Reinvented
A traditional landline needs a physical line into your house and a bill that never seems to shrink. TELUS Wireless Home Phone replaces it with a small box that runs your existing home phone handsets over the TELUS wireless network — same ring, same number, lower cost.
Who actually buys this, in our experience: households keeping a home number for parents or kids, small businesses that want a landline presence without wiring an office, and people in rural areas where copper service is unreliable. If that's you, the plan conversation takes five minutes.
How Wireless Home Phone Works
- Plug the home phone device into power, plug your regular cordless phone into it. That's the installation.
- Your existing number ports over — callers notice nothing.
- Calls route over the TELUS mobile network, so the "landline" works anywhere with TELUS coverage. Moving house? The phone moves in a cardboard box, not a technician visit.
Talk-and-text style plans and nationwide calling options vary; current rates are a quick call away at 778-957-8000, or ask in-store.
