Do I need to log in to customize the site?
No. However, please note that in the near future, you will be able
to log in to enjoy the benefits of new features and applications.
Is there a risk I might lose my personalized homepage?
No. The settings you have made to your myTELUS homepage are saved on your computer. Unless you delete "cookies" those changes will be maintained every time you open your browser. Note, though, that some privacy and security software products will automatically erase cookies. You can modify the settings in those programs to protect any files with information about your personal preferences.
What has changed with the new myTELUS site?
First is the fresh, new design that provides you with control over how you want your myTELUS homepage to look, and the content that you want to appear there. Many more exciting changes are to come.
What new content is available on the new site?
Sports news, real-time sports scores, comics, food and cooking news and recipes, health news, science and technology news, travel news, celebrity gossip, movie news and trailers.
Is any content that was on the old site missing from the new one?
Yes. Some sections that were previously part of myTELUS are being removed. Several of them will be replaced by widgets from the content library that you can add to your personalized homepage. If there is content or information you would like to see added to the content library, just let us know.
