TELUS matches Bell, offers $25 Google Play gift card with HTC One purchase

Up in Canada, there is a battle brewing between carriers Bell and TELUS over sales of the HTC One. A leaked internal memo discovered last week showed that Canadian carrier Bell was going to give a $25 Google Play gift card to anyone making a purchase of the HTC One, starting Monday. Meanwhile, rival carrier TELUS went ahead on Monday and came up with its own deal involving the HTC One and a $25 Google Play gift card.

Both carriers' deals started on Monday and run through next Sunday. With a three year contract, the HTC One is just $99 on TELUS. Off contract the sexy, sleek device is priced at $650. With Father's Day coming up, why not pick up an HTC One for your Dad and you can keep the Google Play card for yourself. It will be our little secret.
