Hi,
All of the above steps were taken to resolve the issue. The technician whom i first spoke with had mentioned there was an issue on the Telus side and will be in contact. I have not received a phone call or email in return letting me know what has been done to resolve the issue. I have a third phone appointment with an representative this morning. This has gotten really problematic and hopefully I can get this fixed, if not I will physically go into an actual Telus and speak with someone.
Were you able to get this issue resolved?
I’m running into the same issue and so far Telus customer service has been useless. They don’t know why it doesn’t work, it just doesn’t.
I have an escalation with Apple to let them know Telus is not a reliable Apple Watch partner, and to get advice on what carrier actually supports the Apple Watch cellular model in Canada without such a fuss.
In the meantime I have a support ticket with Telus but I have no hope they can fix the issue based on my interactions with Telus customer service. What a sad state of affairs, it’s really depressing that Telus cannot get something so basic working.
