What is bill proration?

When services are added in the middle of a billing cycle, you are only charged for the time you use them, rather than for a complete month. If you are a new SaskTel customer, your first bill will include usage and charges from today’s date until your first bill date, plus one month in advance. 

How is proration calculated? 

Proration is calculated from the date of the change to the next bill date: 

If your monthly bill date is the 1st of each month and you add a new service for $15/month on the 21st, your next bill will include a prorated charge calculated as follows: 

$15/30 days = $0.50 (cost of service/day) $0.50 x 21 days = $10.50 (cost of the service x days left in current bill cycle) 

Your next bill would include a partial charge of $10.50 on top of your regular monthly charges. 

How much can I get if I trade my phone in?

Keep in mind, you must return your phone to Jump.ca during the Fast Forward return period (between 13-18 months after purchase) in good working condition. If you fail to return the phone, or it's not in good working condition, you'll be charged a payback amount (equal to the discount you received when you purchased your phone). 

Pricing option is only applicable to specific phones. Learn more.

Repair & Support

How long is the turnaround time for a repair?

Turnaround time can vary depending on Apple’s service strategy for your particular device. In many cases, your repair will be completed on the same day, but in some cases we may be required to order additional parts or send your device to an Apple repair depot which can take up to 10 business days. Visit one of our repair centres for an estimated turnaround time and iPhone loaner options. 

Can I walk-in for a repair without an appointment?

Yes! You can bring your device in to any of our repair centres, at any time. Depending on technician availability and appointment volume, we may not be able to work on your device on the same day, but rest assured, we are committed to completing your repair and returning the device to you as quickly as possible. Visit one of our repair centres for an estimated turnaround time and iPhone loaner options. 

Can you order the parts needed for my repair before I come for my repair appointment?

No. Prior to ordering any parts, your device will require diagnostic testing and functional troubleshooting to determine the parts required for your repair. Your device will also require an in-depth visual and mechanical inspection to determine coverage and repair eligibility. If the required parts are not available at the repair centre, an order will be placed for the specific parts required to repair your device. In some cases, Apple may require us to send your device to an Apple repair depot. 

Will my personal data be erased?

Your data is always at risk of loss. It is extremely important to have a backup before bringing in your device for service. Though our technicians will do their very best to prevent data loss, we may be required to restore your device as part of the troubleshooting and/or repair process which will result in total data loss. We may be able to perform a backup of your device prior to service, as long as the device is functional enough to do so and your backup is 50GB or less for iOS devices, and 1TB or less for Mac devices. An additional fee and time will be required to back up your data. 

What if I have a screen protector, pop socket, or other accessory on my phone?

Although we will make every effort to avoid it, it’s likely that we will need to remove the accessories in order to troubleshoot and repair your device. Neither Apple nor Jump.ca will provide a replacement of any broken or removed accessories.

What is Alarm.com?

SecurTek is powered by Alarm.com.

Alarm.com is the leading technology provider of Smart Home Security services. Their award winning technology is used by over 5 million people to help protect what matters most. Alarm.com developed and released the first ever interactive home security solution over a decade ago and their services have completely changed how security systems work today.

All the signals from the security system are sent over Alarm.com’s dedicated secure cellular connection for fast and reliable communication. In the event of an emergency, that signal is instantly sent to a Central Monitoring Station, managed by your Service Provider. There are professional monitoring personnel at the Central Station 24/7 to receive the real-time alarm signals from Alarm.com systems, and dispatch emergency response.

Non-emergency alerts are processed by Alarm.com and sent out based on the rules that you define. For example, you may choose to get an alert when the front door opens between 12-2pm so you know the dog walker showed up.
