- Unpack your TELUS Home Phone equipment, which typically includes a phone base, handset, and power adapter.
- Connect the power adapter to the phone base and plug it into a power outlet.

- Depending on your specific phone model, you may need to register your device with the TELUS network. This may involve entering a PIN code or following on-screen instructions.
- 5. Test Your Phone:
- Once your phone is connected and registered, dial a test number to verify that you can make and receive calls.
Additional Setup Options
- Caller ID: Enable Caller ID to display the incoming caller's phone number.
- Call Waiting: Set up Call Waiting to allow you to receive a second call while you are already on a call.
- Call Forwarding: Configure call forwarding to send calls to another phone number if you are unavailable.
- Voicemail: Activate Voicemail to record incoming messages when you miss calls.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Check for Power: Ensure your phone base is plugged in and receiving power.
