Poor coverage and speeds II
Four months ago I started this topic: In the three and half years that I've lived in central Alberta Telus coverage has been weak. I usually get only one bar at home (inside or out), two if I'm lucky. Data speeds of maybe 20 mbps down, 2-3 up. We also tried a Telus Smart Hub last year but had to promptly return it and cancel the service because speeds were unusable. In comparison, my partner is on the Rogers network and has full bars, great cell coverage, and blazing data speeds. About a year ago Telus started construction of a new 5G tower just 1 KM from us. It appears that construction finished in February but it was not activated until August. The reply from Telus on this forum was dismissive, bringing up "mountainous terrain", which we don't have in central Alberta. The location was specified in my post. There's a brand new 5G tower about 1 km across a flat field from us. The problems are clearly NOT caused by terrain. Since posting that message, I called Telus support and spent about an hour on the phone running speed tests and helping the support agent document the poor reception and awful data speeds that we experience. The agent confirmed the poor coverage and speeds. I was told that the issue would be escalated to a higher support speeds would likely result in the tower being adjusted to properly cover our area. I was promised a call back with an update within a week. I did not receive the promised call back. Instead, all I received was a text message from Telus claiming that "our Tier 2 technical support has resolved your issue" with no further information. The problem was NOT resolved and poor coverage and data speeds continue. Is there anyone at Telus that can take responsibility for these issues and resolve them or is it time to complain to the CRTC?
mobility billing issues
I'm a long-time prepaid telus user. unfortunately. i've had issues with my accounts before, but I haven't had such a major long-running issue with my billing. I'm stumped and I've tried everything I can. so, from the beginning. my plan needs to be renewed, i go my usual route and call #123. - called #123 to pay for my rate plan. I can top up money easily, and have a balance for the plan. i enter pin, get to rate plan purchase menu and it... doesn't work. i get up to "to continue with your rate plan, press 1," then when i do, it says "sorry, we're currently experiencing [issues], please try again later." have waited and tried multiple times throughout the week, now it's day 7 and i still haven't been able to use that. -- have also reset my phone multiple times and cleared the cache, etc, still nothing... okay! maybe ill try my telus! - go to manage my account on browser, no vpn/am in the right reigon/and am using generic brower and... my telus doesn't think i'm the account owner. i'm the only one using that account and the only one to ever use it. I click on manage, get hit with "sorry, you are not authorised to access this information" screen. can't pay from there... - download, login and try using the my telus app (its worked for me before!) and... it redirects me to the my telus web browser, as my phone is a little dated, and perhaps can't run the app properly. great, the web browser... which doesn't work... okay... maybe i can pay another way? - attempt paying through the telus assist bot. get all the way up to "sure! would you like your rate plan to renew from [balance/credit]," i pick an option, and it says its unable to add the rate plan to my account... and to contact an agent for a callback... when i can't call because i can't pay for my mobility plan... really stumped, considering taking my business elsewhere. if anyone could help me, that'd be great
Does One Plus N20 compatible with Telus?
Hello, I am thinking about transfer my phone plan from Virgin to Telus. I am holding a One Plus N20 that was bought few years back from BestBuy. Interesting thing is, it works fine with Virgin, but fail the Telus VoLTE compatibility test (by IMEI). I hear the Virgin and Telus share same network here in AB. Does it mean my phone won't work if transfer into Telus network?Mobility Account Issues + Mobility for Good
Hey Telus Team, I'm hoping this reaches the right person so posting here. We've been dealing with conflicting stories from reps and the PAP system and which payments are attached to which services and avoiding late fees. We had to escalate to a manager who was finally able to clarify that paying an additional amount to the account is only possible through online banking NOT through the Telus App. It seems there was an overdue payment and a late fee applied to one of the accounts. Everything has since been brough up to date and paid in advance. The issue is based on past calls this shouldn't have ever happened. We requested a manual review of our most recent call (with Diego) as the Ai summary didn't capture the point where the rep again mentioned the two systems between Home Services and Mobility used to share the same Pre-Auth Payment. It's painfully obvious the call center agents are too dependent on Ai instead of referring to the updated procedures or basic empathy to lower their call handling time... which is really demoralizing when managing 5 lines + internet. I was previously with Telus during the Pandemic (left for Bell and then returned and migrated my whole family over). Been back for just over a year and it's not working out so no we are trying to get the account recognized that its for Senior Citizens. Which email or portal can we use to upload sensitive documents ? Where do I submit my documents for the Mobility for Good program? I manage this account on behalf of my aging parents and any human guidance would be appreciated. I understand mistakes happen and just want to talk to a human being who will properly listen.
Finish Setting Up: Download the Telus App, which I’m already using to see that message
Why does the app tell me I’ve only completed 1 out of 3 tasks when I open it, then change its mind to 3 out of 4 when I tap on See Remaining Tasks, and the 4th task is to download the app… the app I’m using to read that I haven’t downloading the app. The Telus app needs to check itself before it wrecks itself. It can’t even tell that IT IS the Telus app. Are the people working on the Telus app that bad at their job?Mobility Account Issues
On January 27th I received a promotional email from Telus for more data on a 5G postpaid plan, and a Pixel 10 on a 2 year payment plan. On January 31st I called Telus to inquire about whether I qualified or was eligible for the promotion and I was told yes I was. So while on the phone with that same person we began switching my provider to Telus. 4 days later after having been through the following (1) No cell service for over 3 days, and needing to find alternatives to legal and personal texts. (2) No follow up email after getting disconnected during the set up call. (3) Still not able to receive emails from Telus at either my Protonmail or Gmail, and talking to technical support about it yielding no solution. (4) Being told to wait longer for service when that wasn't the issue at all. It was an Esim issue on Telus's end. (5) Hours spent on the phone. Needing someone to babysit my 1 year old so I can get service. I understand that is not all Telus's fault, but when I just so happened to off-handedly mention my rate to a representative two days ago (because I can't seem to yet register for MyTelus), I was told I was paying more than the promotion indicated, and man that draws the line. I'm livid. After all of that and a week later, I get told that the promotion only lasted 1 day and now I don't qualify. The only reason I went through all that was because Telus sent me an email, I didn't go looking for some better deal, and I asked explicitly multiple times on the first call whether I qualified, and I was told yes. I even reiterated details of the deal. That's the only reason I switched. To experience this kind of dishonesty and deception and lack of integrity.. I don't know if I've ever been so angry and mistrusting of a business before. I don't even understand why pay a marketing department to piss people off. The whole point is to attract me as a customer with that deal. I'm baffled as much as I am upset. This is unacceptable.
