If the phone is Telus branded, you can use it with us. I've activated a phone purchased for $3 at a flea market before... as long as it's not someone else's lost or stolen phone, that's fine.

Also, call and have it suspended. Not often, but sometimes the person who took your phone will use it, racking up your bill. We can make it so your phone won't work.

At the same time, make sure we have a current contact number for you. If we don't and someone decides to return the phone, we have no way of letting you know how to get it back.

That's all I can think of for now. Oh, since you're on the internet, you can suspend the phone yourself at mytelusmobility.com but I'm not certain as to whether or not you can make is so the voicemail is still active, and we can do that at the call centre. Up to you.
