Problem connecting with call back
I've had an ongoing issue with Telus callbacks. I'll arrange a callback re: a technical or billing problem. The chat service on a Telus website will promise a callback at a specific time, often the following day. Prior to the appointed time, a Telus Update will arrive by SMS saying an agent will call soon and asking me to make sure their Callback numbers aren't blocked on my phone. It also advises to answer with Hello and that there will be three attempts to connect. So far so good. But when my iPhone rings (from 1-866-558-2273), I hit a snag: the Interactive Voice Response requests me to press 1 to connect with an agent. But when I do so, the tone isn't acknowledged by the system. Pressing 1 over and over does nothing; the massage simply repeats that I have not responded and says there will be another callback. So frustrating! When I finally got through to an agent by using my landline this morning, she solved my original issue and said she would forward notes on the IVR glitch to the right technical department. In the past, however, I haven't heard back about the issue and doubt I will this time. Any suggestions?
Connection Fee Not Waived
Just received my first bill and it was a total surprise. The sales rep promised there will be no connection fee but I was charged $80 for that. I have the sales rep's phone number but he didn't call me back. He also promised bundle discount and which is not applied neither. What should I do?
Accessibility issues with interactive word games on mobile networks?
Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that some browser-based word puzzles don’t always load consistently when switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data. For example, while trying an unlimited spelling game mode during short breaks, the page sometimes refreshes or drops progress on mobile. Is this usually related to network optimization, caching, or browser handling on carrier networks? I’m also curious if similar issues can affect other lightweight, interactive sites and what settings might help improve stability.Bad Shipping Address - Can't Get My Phone
I've been a Telus customer for over 20 years. On Nov. 22, I ordered a new phone and plan, as my old one was due to expire, and I was on the buy it back program. On Nov. 24, I received an email indicating my new phone has been shipped via FedEx and provided a tracking number. On Nov. 25, FedEx called me and said the shipping address was invalid and to call them. Over the next couple of days I spoke to FedEx three times; the shipping label Telus provided only had the city and province on it. I tried to correct the address, but FedEx was not able due to restrictions that Telus put on the shipping. I asked for FedEx to send it to one of their outlets near me and I would pick it up in person. FedEx was not able to due that due to the shipping restrictions put on it. FedEx then informed me that only Telus can fix the problem. I still don't understand why FedEx would not have contacted Telus directly to resolve the problem, instead of involving me. Since then I have called Telus five times, and they either have refused to fix their problem, or said they have submitted forms to correct the issue. Every few days go by and no updates, package still stuck at FedEx. Finally, I receive notification from FedEx that they are returning the package to Telus as undeliverable. I contacted Telus one last time and wanted them to send me a new phone. The person I spoke to finally confirmed they would do it, and submitted forms for that to happen. I was supposed to receive an email when the new order is processed and shipped. Well no email has been received, and now I will need to call Telus again to try and get my new phone. It's been almost a month now, and I am now getting a notification that if I don't return my old phone soon, I will not get credit for it under the program. I am hoping someone at Telus will respond to this that can actually solve the problem, because I'm fed up and prepared to walk away.
West Vancouver weak signal
I live exactly 10 minutes from downtown Vancouver (when the Lions Gate bridge has no traffic) but there is almost no Telus mobility signal. Thousands of people are affected by this problem in West Vancouver. 80% of the time when we receive a call it goes to messaging. 100% of the time that we can connect, the connection is partly garbled or intermittent with long periods of silence, and 50% of the time the connection drops after a while. Many of us have land lines just because cellphone service up here does not work as required by law. I was told this is because the closest cell tower to the upper British Properties (Chartwell/Eyremount) neighborhood in West Vancouver is in Ambleside by the ocean, about 3.5 km away. I received a text from Telus today that said <<TELUS Msg: Valued Customer, our network in West Vancouver just got better. ... This investment in a new cell tower will mean fewer dropped calls, faster loading times and a more reliable connection in West Vancouver.>> When I clicked on the link provided (telus.com/sl/mPNaz5O9pJ), it gives a list of "cities with improved coverages", BUT West Vancouver is not one of them! What is the problem? Why is a cell tower missing in the first place? Why is Telus installing cell towers but ignoring thousands of customers in our neighbourhood only 10 minutes away from downtown Vancouver? Why does the text message imply a new cell tower but the list does not include West Vancouver?
Telus website, app, and chat are garbage
Wow, where do i start? The website has a linking problem between the Mobility/Manage/Pre-Auth function and the next page that should launch. I tried using the app and it just open the webpage. I told the chatbot this and it was dumber than a sack of hammers, including NOT EVEN KNOWING WHAT THE PROPER TELUS DOMAIN IS. After nearly an hour of trying to work with the chatbot i phoned in, navigated the complete trash phone support system and got a human. The human fixed the situation in 10 minutes flat. Telus - why don't you spend more time and money on your website and automated support instead of phoning me every day trying to get me to buy more of your services. 0/10
Overseas scammers pretending to be TELUS
The scam involves calling people with a fake promotion and getting them to order an expensive smartphone. More details in this video: https://youtu.be/D_sqkuw95Xs?si=D2RfxjasSRC8QFI2 At about 18:35 the scammer says that "Someone told us when we steal the phone...Then they(the victim) get the refund from the company."
International Travel Passes
New to the Forum. Has anyone heard if Telus/Koodo have any plans to add International Travel Passes the way Bell and Rogers have. Instead of the daily rate of $18/day that Telus/Koodo charge for Easy Roam, with no cap, Rogers and Bell both have 14 day International packages for $100, and 30 day International packages for $110. 30 days of Easy roam for International equates to $540 vs $110 with Bell or Rogers. Clearly not competitive and if those two carriers can provide it, there is no reason why Telus/Koodo can not Thank you
