Bring It Back Program and Telus is so untrustworthy
So my term was up, usually I go in store to do the bring it back but I’ve done it a good few times now so I figured I’d save myself time and do it online. Never. Again. I got the text saying my phon...
Bring it back is 100% a scam. I have 3 business lines - they sent a single text message to my employees line. Did not email me, did not leave voicemail, did not send a letter and now they will not let me "bring it back" and are charging me $900 for an outdated, 3 year old phone that trades for a couple hundred max on marketplace. What a joke. I just signed up on a new promotion with them and will be cancelling all of my lines and switching immediately. I will never do business with such a crooked company again.

Hello. We're here to help. Please feel free to send us a private message and we can discuss further, thanks.
I have a business plan with 3 lines. One of the phones, which I don't use, is on the bring it back program. It's due to go back - or was in July.
I was not notified about this after 3 years. I cannot find a single email, text message or phone call advising me that my contract was nearing it's end etc.Apparently, after talking to support, a text message was sent - to that phone! That's an employee phone. It's unbelievable to me that account information would be sent to any other phone other than the phone of the Primary account holder (me). It's unprofessional for a start.I believe I should have every right to still bring that phone back.Now, after reading all of the complaints about people who HAVE brought their phones back - I'm also concerned that once I do bring it back - I'll be given a very poor value for it.It's a frustrating situation. I was not expecting and nor can my business afford, a $900 bill for this phone right now and I also don't believe that we've been dealt with fairly
