BC Tel was the legal operating name for the holding company BC TELECOM Inc. created in 1993 to manage the assets of the British Columbia Telephone Company, which in turn was established in 1923. The federal charter for the British Columbia Telephone company was obtained in 1916.
In a 1999 "merger of equals" BC Tel merged with TELUS (the telephone operating company in Alberta), so as to avoid the regionally specific nature of the BC Tel name the newly formed company used the TELUS name. After the merger the new TELUS became the second largest telephone company in Canada
