with telus you can just a basic line for about 23/month landline,( telus's basic land line costs are regulated by the Gov't) if you are really adamant about keeping your number, go to VOIP provider they can give you a basic line for significantly less ( with worse quality) set up costs may be high, another route is rogers who leases their line through telus but because they are not regulated by the CRTC can offer a basic line for cheap ( approx 15/month- however Roger is not yet available in all areas), to do this you would need to call your new provider 1st and have them cancel your telus services on your behalf, if you directly call Telus you will lose your number
