TELUS Neighbourhood

I check my data usage frequently on my device through the My Account app. Now that iOS 8 is in Beta stages and announced that they are supporting 3rd party wedgets for Notification Centre, as a request, It would be cool to see Telus take advantage of that and include it in their next release once iOS 8 is released. This of course would requre the user to be automatically logged in (this could also requre authentification through a password or take advantage again of Touch ID. Curious to know your thoughts.  ...

Leaving a message for a TELUS mobility client can be a lesson in patience; besides the greeting, you have to listen to a machine explain how voice mail works (we get it ).   It'd be nice if, in addition to the option of allowing you to have a greeting or just your name, you could also disable the long-form explanation of how to leave a voice mail and only have your voice greeting and the beep (like pretty much any other voice mail service).   Thank you for your consideration! ...

I root my phone and tablet for additional functionality that I need. It'd be nice to be able to use the Optik On The Go with a rooted device. There is no reason at all for the app to do a root check and prevent usage on roooted phones. ... View more

A few users have commented seeing #TelusDirect ssid's around the country.  I found one in Metrotown Mall, but it needed a password to work.  I found another one around Victoria and 41st.... it was open and worked great in my phone.   Can we have an early list to see where TelusDirect works? ...

On le sait, le GPS est gourmand en énergie et vous aussi vous le savez. Toujours dans le but d'économiser la précieuse batterie de nos précieux, les développeurs d'applications soucieux du détail et de la qualité qui utilisent le GPS, font attention de ne pas l'utiliser trop longtemps ni trop souvent. Cependant, il arrive parfois que certaines app soient moins bien programmées et utilise le GPS abusivement ou accidentellement.  L'idée est de faire qu'une seule vérification à l'ouverture. Faire une vérification a chaque touché ou mouvement est considéré "extreme control freak". Présentement: L'accès à votre position sera disponible même lorsque cette app est en arrière-plan. Suggestion: L'accès à votre position est disponible seulement lorsque cette app ou l'une de ses fonctionnalités est visible à l'écran. Explication de l'app : « Le service Télé OPTIK Mobile de TELUS est destinée à n'être utilisée qu'au Canada et utilise le positionnement GPS pour déterminer votre emplacement. Si vous voyagez au Canada et vous trouvez à moins de 3 km de la frontière américaine, vous pouvez recevoir un message d'incapacité de visionner. » Merciet merci de voter;) ... View more

What is a Ringback Tone?  Ringback tones are music or sounds that you choose for your callers to hear while they wait for you to pick up instead of hearing the standard ringing. All carriers in Canada have this feature except TELUS. ... View more

Someone there had asked me to send you a private message re accessibility with respect to your IPhone apps. Your older and original Optik Tv app called Telus Tv Remote recording is fully accessible with the Voiceover Screen reader which comes on all of Apple's I Devices; you can set up and review recordings to be recorded as well as review the ones that have been and as well access the guide. Unfortunately your most recent version of the app called Optik Tv Smart Remote leaves a lot to be desired in terms of its accessibility. With this newer app you can only access the list of programs previously recorded and delete those. You are not able to access the guide and/'or most of the funcgtions of the app as many of the buttons are not set up properly for voiceover use. My concern is that since your older version of the app has not been updated since I believe the release of IOS6, that it will eventually disappear in accordance with Apple's desire to get rid of apps not updated to their current IOS versions, putting me in the predicament of having a non accessible app with the newer version. I would encourage your developers to contact the people at Apple to find out how to make your current app fully accessible with voiceover, thus eleviating the need for the older original app which could disappear at any time. Also it would be nice if your set top boxes had audible speech output so that we as blind people could access the menus, setups features including turning on and off described video as well as the guide. I know that in Brittain they do have such boxes now in use, and also Comcast has a pilot project going on in the States in selected markets with blind people testing out such boxes. Could you please look in to both of these issues. ... View more

I had Rogers before and it works awesome just didn't get great coverage in areas where I needed it most,so I switched to telus about a year ago and now I went to states and found out that prepaid doesn't even work out of canada.I mean what a hell?Pretty sure every other provider works out of country with charging little extra for using your device.I think that telus should let prepaid costumers to use there devices anywhere ...
