Ogden phone service / 911 still down Day 7
I was promised by support a call at 10:00am today. No call Your response yesterday was encouraging. That was the first email I have received from telus in 6 days. I did subscribe to email and text...
I’m sorry to hear about your family member and hope they’ll be okay and that you’ll be able to speak with them by alternative means.
I was able to do an online Chat today with Telus regarding adjustments/credits on my bill for the days of outage. The Rep was considerate and included all dates through December 22, the estimated date of restoration of services.
The other issue this Phone Outage is causing for me is the ability to log in to my bank account as the 2-Factor-Autorization is set up to send a call to my phone, so I’m unable to log in.
I now have to go to my bank in person until this outage is repaired as my bank will not disable the 2-F-A.
The biggest tragedy, of course, will be if someone needs to call 911 and can't.
The vandals who cut/stole the cables couldn’t care less about the far-reaching effects it has on other people’s lives. Hope they’re caught and justice happens.
I hear you, phony-baloney, and concur 100% with comments in your 1rst, 2nd, and 3rd post.
Like you, I’m not even in the ‘Outage’ area when I zoom in on the Service Status map.
I subscribed December 8th to the ‘Outage’ to receive email updates and haven’t received a single one. TELUS, subscribing to an ‘Outage’ does NOT work!
I’ve had 3 live Chats with Telus Reps, one told me they created a ticket for the back-office people to provide me with an update, that was on Sunday, December 10 – haven’t heard a thing – today is Thursday, December 14.
There hasn’t been a new online update on the Service Status page since Sunday, December 10, which is update #5.
Now, here we are, Day 7 of the Outage, December 14, with no landline service or ability to call 911. Yes, there are still people out there who don’t have cell phones!
How about TELUS providing us with more information as to WHY it’s taking so long to repair?
How about TELUS providing us with an estimated date of restoration – which could go a long way in easing some anxiety.
I thought TELUS is a company that cares about the people and communities they serve, yet they do not even inform members of our community, many of whom are seniors, as to what is happening with this Outage, and why it’s taking SO LONG to repair.
My confidence in this Telecommunications Provider is declining by the day, mainly due to its lack of communications!
