Great news to hear, love Telus.
Your worry should be a lot more about the United States government spying than a Chinese company.

The Swiss firm made millions of dollars selling equipment to more than 120 countries well into the 21st century. Its clients included Iran, military juntas in Latin America, nuclear rivals India and Pakistan, and even the Vatican.
"But what none of its customers ever knew was that Crypto AG was secretly owned by the CIA in a highly classified partnership with West German intelligence. These spy agencies rigged the company’s devices so they could easily break the codes that countries used to send encrypted messages."
And when they can hack your phone, get all your data including photos, then use their facial recognition technology on you?
Who knows, assume it's not for your benefit.
China is out to win the AI race, you think being able to gather data on anyone with a smartphone might give them an advantage in that race?

6 years ago telus plans sucks with their 200 anytime minutes crap and data usage cost money everytime you use it
Yes, and how is china gonna use that? To what benefit? Oh right to stop me from banging asian chicks... ok
Telus plans are best in the industry (mainly because they are 3rd in subscribers but anyways)
Only one even remotely close to being better is Freedom (Wind) and most people know how their network works
Don't kid yourself. Every telco has Huawei gear in their network somewhere.
The whole bruhah about the Huawei 'back doors' is not a technology issue. It is a data security standards issue. If you have proper end to end encryption standards for sensitive data it becomes much less of an issue... And as for the US blustering about the Chinese having a backdoor remember that domestic manufacturers (Cisco for example) are required by US law to provide US authorities a backdoor..

I believe that applies to cell phones as well, the back door issue, that came to light with the case when an apple phone was involved in some crime and apple refused to comply, but I believe they do now.
As opposed to all the other hackers out there doing the same thing? To add, every major power has their own similar programs.
