Wifi Calling in the USA
Hi there!
I have been a Telus customer for over 12 years and would love to continue with them... however, I've recently been splitting my time between the USA and Canada and live in a very remote area that has little-to-no cell signal (I get 10+ text messages a day saying "Welcome back to Canada" or "Welcome to the USA" – because I am so close to the border, it is constantly switching back and forth when I get a one-bar signal).
With no reliable signal, I rely heavily on wifi calling but can't make a call when I am in the US. When visiting the city (I go in every few months), I went to a telus dealer and they did something with my sim that helped solved the problem for a month. Unfortunately I am once again unable to make wifi calls.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Or do I need to switch to Rogers?
If there is nothing I can do about it and need to switch, how do I contact Telus to cancel my account? I use the chat bot but it keeps trying to book a callback time..... but I cannot receive a call! lol... vicious circle. Is there an email I can use to cancel with Telus?
Any help would be appreciated! :)

FuzzyLogic is correct in that Wifi calling is not supported outside of Canada. If you're experiencing this while in Canada, however, that's another issue altogether. Does it work at home (in Canada)?

Unfortunately Telus does not support Wi-Fi calling outside of Canada. More here:

Wi-Fi Calling for Apple and Android devices | TELUS SupportIf you phone supports dual sims that might be a good way to go.
Telus currently doesn't have an email support address. You will need to call support.
