Canada’s TELUS will soon release the “Your Account” app to allow its 7.36 million subscribers to easily manage their accounts while on the go. As far as we’ve heard, using the application, you will be able to check your usage, monitor and pay bills, check the favorite number list, and quickly call TELUS support with a tap of the button.
The application will be initially released for Android, iPhone and BlackBerry users, whether they’re on prepaid or postpaid. Moreover, a Windows Phone version will follow though at the moment it’s still in the “coming soon” phase, meaning that the carrier is still in the early stage of development and will release it later in the year (or so we think).
Best of all, while you’re managing your account using the app, TELUS won’t charge you for the data consumed, though I guess that changes if you’re accessing “Your Account” from outside of Canada. UPDATE: We got confirmation from TELUS – you’ll be able to use “Your Account” app for free EVEN IN ROAMING. Cool!
We like what TELUS is doing and can’t but recommend every carrier in the world to follow this example. People like to be able to manage their accounts more closely and an easy-to-use app is the way to go…

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
