By bundling their services into one package, TELUS and Koodo customers can save up to 20% and enjoy French-language and international content from multiple streaming services, all from just $25 a month.
MONTREAL, Aug. 29, 2024 /CNW/ – Today, TELUS announced the expansion of EnContinu+, a new streaming offering with packages including Club illico, Netflix and Prime Video for TELUS and Koodo customers. Online streaming service lovers can now access plenty of French-language titles, along with an array of international content, from the comfort of their homes or on the go, by bundling their favourite streaming services together in one place. These affordable packages are available from just $25 a month, close to 20% savings off the prices of the individual services.
By bringing three of Quebec’s most popular streaming services into one plan, EnContinu+ has everything you need for the perfect binge-watching marathon, from heartwarming sitcoms and classic movies to captivating documentary series. Among this fall’s most eagerly awaited titles and the most popular series right now on Club illico are the Quebec series Société Distincte, a mysterious and action-packed tale that reached over a million viewers shortly after its release; the third season of the police series Portrait-robot; and starting September 19, the new drama series Danse!, a fictional adaptation of the reality show Révolution written by Sarah-Maude Beauchesne. Viewers also won’t want to miss the exclusive series 1883, available since June, and the first season of 1923, both mini-series based on the smash hit Yellowstone. On October 23, Club illico will rebrand as illico+ following its merger with Vrai. This change will offer fans of French-language entertainment a broader selection of content catering to diverse tastes, all conveniently available in one location. On Netflix, Jusqu’au déclin, the first Netflix film from Quebec, is a must-see, along with the Ricardo Trogi classics 1981 and 1987. Finally, on Prime Video, the documentary I Am: Céline Dion is a must-watch, as is LOL: Last One Laughing, for anyone in the mood for a good laugh.
“We’re proud to be the first in Quebec to offer a streaming bundle including French-language content on EnContinu+, in addition to ICI TOU.TV EXTRA, which is already included with subscriptions to our mobile and wireline services,” says Nathalie Dionne, Regional Vice-President, Marketing for TELUS in Quebec. “Our priority is to continue developing our range of products and services to offer our valued customers an unsurpassed entertainment experience. The new EnContinu+ bundle that includes Club illico, Netflix and Prime Video allows us to expand the range of content we offer with thousands of hours of French-language content and original productions from right here in Quebec, while also celebrating and supporting Quebec culture in all its forms. TELUS, formerly Québec-Téléphone, is celebrating close to 100 years of history, innovation, and close connections with the Quebec community. For TELUS, it’s essential to ensure that our offerings resonate with our customers here.”
EnContinu+ offers two exciting new streaming bundles:
Basic Plan: Ideal for streaming enthusiasts seeking great value, this bundle includes Netflix Standard with ads, Club illico, Prime Video and TELUS Films & Series from just $25/month.Premium Plan: Perfect for those desiring ad-free streaming experience and exceptional value, this bundle includes Netflix Premium, Club illico, Prime Video and TELUS Films & Series for $38/month.
EnContinu+ includes not only Prime Video, but a full membership to Amazon Prime (valued at $9.99 per month or $99 per year), giving customers access to unlimited fast, free delivery on millions of items, including One-Day Delivery to most cities and towns and Same Day Delivery in select cities, ad-free listening of millions of songs on Amazon Music Prime, free gaming benefits with Prime Gaming, thousands of books with Prime Reading, unlimited photo storage with Amazon Photos, among others.
Streaming fans can easily add the new EnContinu+ streaming bundle to eligible TELUS and Koodo services directly via their accounts. Last spring, Koodo launched the Happy Stack offer, which gives Quebec residents even more reasons to smile by bundling affordable home Internet, phone and entertainment services. Plus, TELUS and Koodo home Internet and mobility customers also get access to content from ICI TOU.TV EXTRA at no cost. They can watch content on multiple devices simultaneously, including their TVs, smartphones, tablets and laptops. Customers can manage all of their subscriptions in one place, and binge watch their favourite movies and TV shows at home or on the go – any time, any place.
