TELUS cell phone; cell phone service

Telus, in response to learning customers were unlocking Telus cell phones, decided they would stop it by telling their suppliers they wanted un-lockable phones from here on out. Result? Look where the SIM from another carrier would fit - there is NO SLOT! Now get this: You bought the phone, but you don't actually own it! It's analogous to buying a TV and it will only work with a specified cable co. etc.
This is theft, pure and simple theft.
And, how about if you get the phone cheap or for 'nothing' with a contract, of course. When your contract is up, do they reduce your monthly bill by the amount included to pay for the phone? Do they hell! They will if you call and threaten to leave... I'd leave anyway...
Never, ever, buy a cell phone that is locked and sealed from SIM-card changes! If they don't have 'em, go to one who does. Or get it un-locked if it is un-lockable - ask and/or check inside (behind the battery) and look for a SIM-card slot.
I am now with Mobilicity having taken my own un-locked (purchased in the UK, but you can one at an independent phone phone store.) Just check it uses your intended provider's signal. i.e. G3, GMS etc. Ask the store...

THats a great point. You pay for the phone, it isn't really fair that they make them unlockable, especially when some phones now days cost nearly $1000.

TELUS breach of privacy

I am recently going through a seperation from my common-law husband, and his cell phone was under my account. So I called Telus to get him off my account. And told her that my ex was not to know any of my private info on my acct. We then my ex calls in the get his new account started and they ask him what address he wants on his account, he says well what address is listed and they continue to give out my new address, that I've been keeping from him as he is a stalker type of person. I am even in the midst of getting a restraining order on him. So he texts me saying I have your new address. I freaked out and called Telus and all they could say was "sorry ma'am" So I wrote a letter and emailed it to Telus and whoopty doo they gave me a month free of cell service. They have scewed things up for me royally and I don't think a month of free service is going to cut it.

Contact a local attorney. If they tried to bribe you with a months worth of cell service that is just like admitting guilt.

TELUS very poor customer service and dishonest condut

Telus gave me a tripple offer for phone + net and Cable for $49.17 per month for six months.
I end up paying $667.13 in six months, I was paying the bill, because I thought i might have missed a month or 2 months payments, I got alamered when after paying $391 in September, they sent me another letter that $272 is still due on me, I cancelled my services, It is almost three months, after numerous calls, they are not telling me why they overcharged? why they wont refund the money?
They put you on wait for hours to talk to agent, kick you between different agents like soccor ball and nothing happen, our server are down sir, we will give you a call in next few hours.
I have never seen such a poor customer service in Canada.
Please my dear fellow Canadians- think 1000 times before endsoring and giving them business, or you will feel cheated and used too. Stay away from them.

TELUS mis-representatio

Telus gave us a free my five service for a year, got us comfortable using the service and then without a reminder or the option to buy the service, pulled it and has charged us $600 in charges for the month. Do I have any recourse to fight this?

TELUS mobility

I have been a Telus customer for over 25 years. In the last 6 years we have retired and depart for the south for 5 months. When we leave we have always been able to put our cell phone on vacation mode, paying just a 7.50 + Tax monthly fee. While doing this our contract does not run but resumes once again when you return.
When I went to switch it to vacation this year I was told they no longer supply that service and the best they could do is put me on the least expensive plan they have Talk 20 which costs $20.00 a month + Tax.
How long are we going to allow Telus to suck everything thay can out of us. They state it was necessary to discontinue this service because they had to many complaints about the length of your contract when it does not run while on vacation? I say this is nothing but a new cash cow. Can you imagine how many "Snowbirds " are affected by this. The Telus employee told me they have had many complaints but they are not going to change it. As I have just recently renewed with a 2 year contract I am really stuck. If I had been informed they were taking away this service I would have gone or a "pay as you go" option. As it is I am now paying more for my cell phone (which I cannot use at all) than I am for my land line. (the only reason I keep my landline is so I am assured of having the same number, which I have had for over 30 years) I cannot believe they would punch hundreds for a few complaints and I find it abhorring that they do not offer this sevice anymore. As soon as my contract runs out I am switching all my Telus services to another suplieer and I urge all "snowbirds" to do the same. Just another big Company grabbing pennies and dimes from people who have workied all their lives and can least afford it.

I would like to complain that my cell phone bill is getting more and more expensive. There are errors on my bill (extra added minutes) and I think that technology should become more affordable rather with time.

TELUS over charging

Telus has overcharged me in three different occasions, and very large amounts .It took a half a day on each circumstance to rectivey the situation. My Phone's screen is presently not working I've asked them to send me a new one .They said I could buy a new one .This is a new phone .She claimed I misused it I told her I'm talking to her on it.She summed it up by saying I should find another service provider.After 10 years of paying Telus thousands of dollars.Never mind the agent being pushy and arrogent.I'm changing services as of now.

TELUS ripped off

purchased a " pay per day package with evenings and weekends and texting " as I was having a difficult time understanding the available packages and wasnt happy with previous package.
Purchased this package at 8:47 pm, it was "discontinued" at 6:25am, 10 hours later.
In talking with Ryan in the Philippines for 42 minutes, (telus mobility ) he couldnt answer me why there was $10 subscription fee deducted from my account, nor why there was $10 added to my account for a "promo credit top up"
Ryan eventually hung up on me, I gave him the benifit of the doubt having worked at various call centers, I always called back a disconnected caller, I called back to Telus and got Allan, I asked for Ryan and explained that I was working with him for 42 minutes, he was very rude and short, would not let me get back to Ryan nor a Manager.
After 20 minutes with Allan, I asked him where does it say, when I bought the package that "1day = 10hours ) and why was I not sent a notification, instead I was unknowingly charged for calls and texts for the next 14 hours of what I thought would be the end of my 1day package .
I went to make a call at 7pm, 22 hours into my day long package and informed my account had a $0 Balance .
There was $21.50 left on my account after adding $25 and purchasing $1.50 account, do that math ? not only did they take $21.50 there was also the previously mentioned $10 promo topup, so I chewed threw $31.50 all in the time period of being on a 1 day package, after spending over two hours on the phone with vague answers and ### english speaking reps, i was "lucky to be given 5 days unlimited " even this is not correct as I can not call out .
my dear god, my $31.50 could have had me 30days service !
I get 5 !
After asking Allan to show me at least where the fine print is in buying a 1day package at 8:47 pm and oddly expires at 6:25 am, Allan gets upset and tells me it was suppose to expire at 12:01 am, but still cant guide me online to where this is explained . I wanted to speak to a manager or would settle for $21.50 credit .
He too hung up on me !
Unacceptable Guys . This type of miss guidance and lack of CS will not get you to the top and result in failure .
Thanks for listening !

I have to agree. Just got an email from Telus along with other changes over the last few months is unacceptable.
Local Calls now 50 cents and minute plus and 50 cents if long distance. 50 cents for local $1.00 for long distance.
Add on plans have changed.
If your balance is over $300 as of Oct 2013 they will force you with a $10.00 per month add on.
So to keep my Telus prepaid and being over $300.00 balance I am forced to piss away $10.00 per month that I wont use.
Was a great plan for seniors and for an emergency phone. Some of us can actually live with out a mobile phone with a huge plan.
It just seems that now a days that any one offering a good deal, is no more! I have a USA Tracfone that is $100.00 per year and continues to roll over and they do NOT have any add ons (which is ok with me) and their calling is the same no matter where you call. And is about 10 cents a minute.
We are being ripped off!

TELUS horrid customer service

Trying to get help from Telus by phone is a frustrating, painfull experience. Tried to reach customer retention yesterday as I have had better rates offered to me by Shaw. After being connected to the Phillippines and fighting through the language barrier, after umpteen questions I was finally put through to the customer retention department that I requested.On hold 22 minutes..Finally same broken English rep comes on and she tells me be patient and will try again. Another 58 minutes rolls by and the phone line clicks off and I am disconnected. This is not the first time I have had this kind of Horrid service { Or lack thereof} Thanks Darren E..Telus customer service is beyond a Joke now! BC Tel at least looked after their customers.

TELUS poorly trained reps

On the night of 15th November 2010, I had the most unpleasant experience with Telus Customer Loyalty and Retention Representative. The situation was all due to a hardware switch for my wife’s mobile phone. Due to the differences in the hardware, the network was also being switched from CDMA to HSPA, and my wife lost certain aspects of the original promotional service plan. However, to mitigate this, Telus gave my wife similar (and in some cases better) service options for free. Problem is that these options were given for a temporary period of 1 year. So, in essence, what was infinite has now become temporary. Having noticed this right away, I called back to see if Telus could at least extend these options until the end of her contract term which would another 6 to 7 months. I was directed to the Customer Loyalty and Retention Representative, and that’s when things went from cordial to hostile to offensive. The L&R rep talked over me, the rep had no interest in hearing what I had to say, only that my option was to pay another $10 to switch back to the older CDMA phone to get back the original options or stay as is. I tried to tell the rep that it was not made clear to me that the additional options would be temporary when I made the switch, but, after I had waited patiently to listen to the rep and I started to talk, the rep would continually talk over me saying that there is nothing that can be done.
If the rep had some patience, respected that we were discussing a business matter which is bound by contract, recognized that we were discussing a matter that had direct affect to my personal finances, and practiced a level of professionalism, given time, I would have come around to understand. Then things got worse when the rep became sarcastic and made joke. The rep asked if my phone was working ok and if I could hear her clearly because the rep felt like she was repeating herself. This from a CUSTOMER LOYALTY AND RETENTION REPRESENTATIVE! And then I asked if she was being sarcastic with me and making jokes, to which she replied “no”. No? Really? I don’t understand how a representative working in the Loyalty and Retention department can be so driven to make a customer dislike Telus. I spoke with five reps that night including the Loyalty and Retention rep, and the other four front line reps were very cordial, patient, and friendly, although somewhat incompetent. The Loyalty and Retention rep was the only one that was hostile, full of attitude, self righteous, sarcastic, rude and unwilling to listen. This could be one of several things, poor training, poor hiring, bad personal day for the rep (which is still no excuse), I was the last call of the day before the rep clocked out and wanted to get off the phone asap (which is still no excuse), or a combination of above. Whatever the reason, I have lost all desire to stay with Telus at the end of the call. Due to the contract, my wife is still bound with Telus for the next year and half, but at the end, we will strongly consider other options. This dislike of Telus was direct result of conversation with Telus’ Customer Loyalty and Retention department representative. Go figure.

TELUS why telus cable box in front of my store?

I'm the owner of Zhong Qiao Hair Salon located at 4889 Clarendon Street crossed by Kingsway in Vancouver(Post Code: V5R 3J3) and I am the hair stylist as well.
In front of my Hair Salon which is my private property, there're two big TELUS Cable Boxes installed which greatly prevents the daylight. There is not efficiency light even I turn the lights on. My eyes are getting much tired when I'm working. Furthermore, it affects my business, especially people from the West and North can't see my hair salon.
(Please see the attached picture)
As you can see from the picture, the width of two pieces of glass windows on the one side of the door is 135 inch, the width of the two TELUS cable boxes is 110 inch. The height of two pieces of glass windows is 96inch, the height of the two TELUS cable boxes is 70 inch.

TELUS bad customer service

I have been a Telus cusotmer for the last 17 years. My account has always been paid by credit card, so we've never had any late fees. This summer my husband credit card was stolen and this was the card on file to pay Telus. We got a phone call asking for us to call them, so I did, I was going to give them my credit card number to use to pay our bill and to keep on file to use from now onwards. I was not allowed to do this because I didn't have the Telus account number, I was calling from home which is the phone number I was tring to pay off. I was not allowed, they would not take my money because I didn't have the account number. OK, So I'm tring to pay my bill and I'm not allowed, I needed the account number, I didn't have a paper bill to look it up. I ask them to send me another bill in the mail, they said we can't and that was that. And all I wanted to do was pay my bill. Telus sucks! What happened to the customer is always right, all I wanted was to have my bill mailed to my address, the same address that they have on file so I can pay my bill!

OK, So here's an update. My husband called Telus to pay this bill, he stopped at the automated instruction before you even get to speak to someone. The option was to pay your bill, so he said OK and just like that without the account number or the amount that he was paying, without speaking to anyone whom could ask him if he was whom he says he was, he paid the bill in full with a credit card number. So the trick is, if you don't have your account number just pay your bill without speaking to any human. I called Telus again asking to have my bill mailed to the address on the account so I will have this information for the next time *god forbid* I have to talk to a Telus employee and was told that they changed their billing system, so alot of customers never received their Telus bill. I asked for mine to be sent to me again and they said it will take up to 3 weeks, where are they mailing it from, China?

I was scheduled to have new TV and Internet installed on Monday the 3rd. I took a half day off from work as I was told my appointment was scheduled in the morning. I waited until Noon, and then phoned the customer service. Without notice, they changed the schedule and claimed my appointment was a whole day schedule. By 3:30 I phoned them again and this time i was placed on hold for 45 minutes just to get the answer "Sorry, the technician is behind the schedule, he is not going to make it." They promised to give me a call the next day (Nov 4) and to make my installation a priority. I was at home around Noon on the 4th, and I saw a Telus truck in the building so I phoned customer service again to see why I had not yet received the promised phone call, and I was placed on hold for another 20 minute wait. Then I was told that "they" would phone me by the end of today to get the rescheduling done. Yet again, I did not receive the promised phone call. I called customer service again around 5 pm. They claimed that they were not able to make changes to the scheduling system, and that I'd have to wait for someone to fix it the next day (the 5th), and they tentatively claimed that I would receive a phone call on the 5th for rescheduling. Again, I had not received the any phone call to resolve the issue on the 5th. I phoned again around 1:30 pm on the 5th and this time the rep said "There is nothing you or me can do but to wait. If you wish, I can cancel your service".

I don't understand where there is such a problem with scheduling. I was scheduled on the 3rd, and then stood up while losing a days pay sitting at home frustrated all day without access to the TV or Internet. I did not receive compensation from your company for that, but instead receive one frustration after another and even have to put up with lousy attitude of the service rep who suggested to simply cancel the service. I am wondering with the scale of Telus' business, why the scheduling system and customer service seems ridiculously unreliable. At the end of the day, it is really like living in the stone age without Internet and TV at home simply because a large multi-billion dollar company cannot manage their scheduling system correctly.

This client is right in their disappointment. Corporate structures of certain companies are so rigid they openly discourage common sense independent thinking by their workforce. In my view, this is enough to leave Telus. As most telecom technology throughout Canada's providers are quite similar, as well as price packages, customer service becomes a good reason to remain loyal or not.

TELUS telus rips off ontario prepaid customers

This is a unanswered email from telus

Attention ontario prepaid customers
If you are having a issue with sending and receiving text and picture message call them and complain it is known to them but they are still selling the broken service to ontario customers



Hello darren or anyone who receives this..

I am writing to you in hopes to get some things changed. First off I have to say you have the worst customer support I have ever seen and being in the customer service field for 20 years I can say that the service level is at about 1 of 10,

Problem:
I have been buying text250 for my phone since feb 2010 and it hasn't been working we are trying to run a small business and have lost customers due to lack of communication due to the failure of the text message service. I have made many calls and and have been lied to several times by customer support and technical support all giving my different lies to what the problem was. I cannot send a text more then 109 characters and if I try it fails and I have to write the whole message again. So this has me sending multiple texts wasting my time and money. Also when someone sends me one more then 109 characters it comes in as mms and tells me to go to telusmobility.com/snap to retrieve the message with no option to download to my phone forcing me to go to a internet connection and download the message really this is unacceptable. Last week I had workers on a job site sending me pics of a important work related issue the bloody thing again came in as a picture message and had to be downloaded so being on the road at the time I had to go to a internet cafe pay more money for something I already paid for and download the picture and would also like the mention the page was down couldn't login to the telus site for 20 mins.

Reasons ontario wide outage (Why sell service that doesn't work agent replied I don't know), I may have dropped my phone, rolling hot pockets in downtown ottawa, my phone model has issues (Why sell phone that doesn't work)

Resolution wait till its fixed we do not guarantee any of our services so we will not be compensating you for anything. I was told to shut up and be quiet and promised call backs twice and no reply this happened during calls to customer conflict team really they are the most ignorant people I spoke to even the front line agents weren't as rude.

I want to be compensated for this... I cant believe your company treats people like this I have monthly plan with bell and never had problems I went to telus for the pricing biggest mistake of my life I am looking for another phone right now for my daughters birthday was going to go with telus but not now I will buy her rogers phone better plans better service...

My question is why are you selling a service that you know isn't working, I have been told the service doesn't work right in ontario it is a known issue and they are working on it so if it known why sell it ontario people are getting ripped off...

Maybe you should learn how to spell, write and speak proper English first! I can't see you selling much to these 10-15 or is 15-20 people a day, lol. Telus was probably glad to let you go cause they probably couldn't understand a thing that you were saying to them.

TELUS false advertising

I switched to telus optik tv and internet from shaw cable. Telus told me it would be fiber optic line all the way to the house. As it states on there web page there new fiber optik network. It is not fiber optik all the way to the house. They are doing false advertising and there tech support sucks cause now I have a slower internet than before. I was also promised 25mb for my package well thats false to they only offer that to large buildings. I think telus should be sued for there false advertising. I will tell everyone I now about this

TELUS contract cancel

Bought new milestone android phone from telus three year contract, did not have good three G sevice, and I lost phone within first 2 weeks of contract.
I tried to resolve problem with them.
I wanted to cancel my whole contract with them since I was not happy with there service, and I did not want to buy a new phone for 600$.
What they did was chrge me for the three years of cancelation charges, I was ready to pay the cost of the phone, but being charged over 700$ was not fair in my view.
Just letting anyone know that I am having a class action started against TELUS, and if anyone wants to join in please contact this Lawyer:

TELUS internet contract

I phoned telus internet services to switch providers after my three year contract was finished in June, My computer is on its last legs and so I saved up money to get a new computer and wanted to sign on with shaw .I explained my reasons and the representative I spoke to convinced me to go with telus for another three years and for my loyalty I would recieve a new lap top within a month, It is now the end of september and after numerous phone calls and complaints made by me and promises from various telus employees that its on its way I still have not recieved the lap top. This is some of the WORST business practice I have ever seen and I will be closing down any service I have with telus if I have not recieved this computer by October 1st.

I have the exact same problem with the telus laptop promotion. I waited 7 weeks (the representative told me I would have it in 4-6 weeks). I have called telus 4 times, and each time they tell me they have no record of me getting the laptop deal. The sales rep made it sound so easy on the phone. Now they tell me there is an "approval" process and I might not qualify. This is after I agreed to buy some new services from them. Unbelievable!

TELUS Being billed for direct dialed calls as collect calls

In October of 2009 my daughter was down in Mexico at a Hotel there. Before going I phoned Telus Communications Company to make sure we were covered for calls to Mexico that I direct dialed and was told I would pay .15 / minute. After being home for a few months my Telus bill soared by $259.22 for COLLECT calls made to Mexico. I immediately contacted Telus to find out What happened and have these calls reversed as we NEVER accepted any collect calls from Mexico. We did make direct dialed calls to my daughters Hotel and punched in her room # and she answered the phone. Telus looked into this and removed the charges so they were no longer on my bill and told me this should not have happened as they were direct dialed calls. They told me they would look into this for me as well and I should contact Canopco. I did and they said Telus knew this was going to happen...any calls made to any Hotel in Mexico gets billed as collect calls as for using their service because they have not got any other way to word the billing of this amount. Back to Telus I go after I inform Canopco that I am not paying this bill because I did not make any collect calls and was supposed to be covered by my Telus plan. Now I have received 2 bills from a Collection Agency ... Collection Group of Canada Inc. ... so I called them to explain why I would not be paying this bill. They offered to lower the amount but I refused because we did not accept any collect calls and told them to take it to court . I would like to know if you think because of the number of people having this happen a Class Action Suit could be started to put a stop to this being done. This is Fraud and too many people are paying to stop the bad name on their credit rating . Could you please get back to me as soon as possible as I am going to talk to a Lawyer here to see what can be done if necessary. Thank you for your time. Laurel Henderson

TELUS outrageous charge for us roaming

I just received a telus mobility charge of $731.72 on my latest bill. We made a trip acccross Canada and used the telus stick for internet when we were traveling.

We decided to come home through the US and I used the computer and telus stick a few time downoaded 243 mb and was charged $731.72. $3.00/mb.

This is hiway robbery even if it is in small print on my contract. How can they possibly charge sucha high fee.

You are obviously not very bright. Of course it's going to be expensive if you burn up 243 mb while roaming in the U.S.

TELUS very poor customer service

Telus phone/internet provider gave me a discounted package price for 1 yr. After 1 yr when they increased the internet fee there was an unexplainable $20 fee which they said they would credit back. I also chose at that time to downgrade my internet service to the slower high speed. The next bill came with no credits and no downgrade. When I phoned in again they would not give me the credit that I was promised before and had no explination why I wasn't downgraded as I had requested. When I demanded to talk to a supervisor/manager to complain about the poor service, she wouldn't let me. I phoned back again and was told a manager would phone back within 4 hrs. I waited 4 hours and but could not get through again after 45minutes on hold. Later that night I managed to contact them and was told a manager called within 5 minutes (when I was phoning other service providers) of my first requesting to speak with supervisor when I was told I couldn't hold for one but had to wait for a return call. I never did get to speak with manager as they never tried calling again (call display proves it).

So I decided to go with a new internet/phone provider. The day that they contacted Telus to inform them of the cancellation, Telus, without any explainable reason, cancelled the free Telus Security Services for my internet. When I phoned Telus tech services, they tried to tell me that I never signed up for this feature and that I could only get it the day after my service was cancelled. This makes no sense to me, but this is the kind of service you can expect from Telus.

Is this good business sense to treat customers like this? To give poor customer service repeatedly until you are so frustrated you decide to cancel and then remove your internet security features for the last 2 weeks that you need to wait to cancel their service? I guess this is Telus's way of saying "screw you, don't ever come back to us, we don't need or want you as a customer anyway"!
Note: Telus once had a monopoly on phone service in my area until government regulation opened up competition. It looks like Telus still needs to learn that good customer service is very important to stay competitive in the current phone/internet service provider market!

Are you stupid you just said it was for 1 year so why are you surprised it went up after a year?
8 years with Telus and happy as hell, I'm not a cheap freeloader I pay what it costs and I have no issues.

I just move my internet and T.V. service from Shaw to Telus. Did I get any deal? Forget it. We just wanted to have all services such as telephone, mobile phone, internet & t.v. on one bill. The service is unbelievable regardiong internet and trying to get help from telus. You call - the phone goes dead, or after all the button pushing a busy signal or a dead line. Right now, I do not feel telus is capable of handling any problems in any professional manner. I need some individual from telus to calls me, if they have the courtesy to do so, so I can air my complaints and maybe resolve the situation.

TELUS false contract

On the 1st of June 2010, my Husband and I moved into a townhome with his parents to help care for his ailing Father, who had been recently diagnosed with cancer and was given 2 months to a year to live.

As his Father was a Telus costumer, we contacted Telus on his Father’s behalf and told them we had moved, and that in addition to the phone service he had with them, that we would require cable as well.

On the 18th of June, less than 3 weeks after we moved, my Husband’s father passed. As there was no longer any reason to continue to live in the townhome, my Husband called Telus to let them know that we no longer required their services as of the 1st of September 2010.

It was at this time, Telus informed us that it was written in our files that we had verbally agreed to a three year contract, and if we were to break the contract, we would have to pay $10 per month, for the remainder of the months. As we had just started this “contract”, it means the amount owning to cancel the services would be approximately $350.

There is absolutely no way my Husband, my Father in Law or myself would have agreed to such terms, given my Father-in-Law’s prognoses. As such, we asked Telus to provide proof of the verbal agreement. One representative told us that the call was never recorded, and another one told us that the call was deleted a month after it was made.

My Husband and I have spoken to Telus many times since to address this problem, and each time a representative gives us a different explanation as to when we supposedly agreed to the verbal contract.

One representative went as far to say that my Father in Law verbally agreed to the contract one week after he died! Another stated that he agreed to it in May, one month before we moved into the new home with them….

As Telus is completely unwavering in the situation, and since it’s their word versus ours, my Husband and I have no choice but to pay the cancellation fee as we don’t want to incur bad credit when the bill goes to collections if unpaid.

I honestly can’t believe the terrible situation Telus has put us in. I am going to continue to fight this battle, and inform everyone I can not to use Telus under any circumstances. Not only are they making false claims which they can’t support whatsoever, they are taking advantage of two people who are in the middle of grieving.

Telus are a bunch of liars, they don't have "files" on anyone, if they do, it's all false and fraud. If you did not sign anything you do not have anything to worry about. They do this to alot of people, they lie, cheat and scam. Do not be afraid of them. Telus has got to be the most corrupt company i have ever delt with.
