I agree- I was left on hold for 3 HOURS yesterday before I decided to just give up. I am not impressed with the lack of customer service and the fact that obviously no one cared that I was waiting that long.
On for 1 hr after being told wait time is 45 mins - will give up and send a note to CRTC asking why wait times are false and why we can get better coverage and unlimited plans like in the US?
Wait times???? I only wish. They say on the hold message that they know our time is valuable and someone will pickup as soon as they are able but what gets me is ...if they KNOW our time is valuable...why is there no hint of a wait time??? I want to know how much time they are going to waste of my "valuable time". Also why is there no "call back" feature? I just want to upgrade my mobile phone but have a couple questions but i am getting ready to dump telus and go elsewhere just because i can't talk to someone. I am in chat AND on hold. Almost done here.
Hi KT, although call times can fluctuate depending on volumes (how many people are calling in at any given time) you can connect with them via chat too from a computer! www.telus.com/chat
Too late already posted complaint to CRTC and also asked why no unlimited plans in Canada - Canada has worst mobile service and rates in the Western world..... Sorry my post times vary as well! Tried your link it didn't work.......
I normally prefer the chat option but i have been experimenting long wait time as well before I get connected. the last time there was more than 30 people ahead of me and gave up after 3 hours.
Beg to differ....there are 29 people ahead of me right now and been waiting almost half hour now...only went down by one. Even at 8 it is still an hour wait easy.
The link for chat doesn't work. I have been trying to contact support for three days, to no avail. Wait times are ridiculous. My lan line phone ...the battery dies after an hour on hold. Do I actually need to purchase another phone for a stronger battery just so I can be on hold for over an hour? Not acceptable.
Thank you for your help, but I tried this and it directs me to a page which does have the chat feature, but nowhere to click, ie botyom right corner. I did, however complete and submitted a customer support online form. Thanks again for the help.
I too am sitting on hold. Perhaps instead of telling people to call at different times of day (that are likely inconvenient for them), Telus could look at their call volume patterns and staff accordingly.
What I did after a few frustrating weeks was I used Text Messenger, explaining how long it takes to get through on phone. Then explained my problem. I received a quick response and my problem was fixed. Failing that, there is a form you can fill out to escalate your problem. I can't remember how I found the form, but google it. Hope this helps.
