If your not looking for anything special in a phone then your best bet is to buy a talk-away bundle. Here is a link to the available phones.

The talk-away phones are brand new, so you don't have to worry about buying a stolen/refubished phone. They are also cheaper in price, ranging from $99.99-129.99. These phone can also be bought at most Best Buys, Future Shops, London Drugs, Staples stores or right from telusmobility.com.
There are also some refubised phones available the the link I provided. The refurbs look like new phones. The major downside to a refurb is that they come with only a 3 month warranty vs. a 1 year warranty.
After you get the phone you can activate it online for $10 at mytelusmobility.com.
