How to Determine if Your Phone is Under Manufacturer’s Warranty

• If you purchased a brand new TELUS phone, it is eligible under manufacturer’s warranty for 12 months from the purchase date.

• If your device was repaired while under warranty, then it will be covered by a 90 day warranty from the day it was repaired or a 1 year warranty from the original purchase date (with receipt), whichever is longer.
  
  
• If you have purchased a refurbished TELUS phone, it will be eligible under the manufacturer’s warranty for 90 days.

The manufacturer’s warranty doesn’t cover normal device wear and tear.

Dropped devices, exposure to moisture and/or extreme temperatures, modifications to software or hardware not authorized by the manufacturer and internal board damage would deem your phone unrepairable and void your manufacturer’s warranty.

Please note that TELUS does not offer support for phones that were not purchased through TELUS or an authorized TELUS dealer.
