I get calls from Telus almost daily, and one day I bite. I'm looking for new mobility services for myself and my son in Uni and the offer was "unlimited high speed data, call and texts for $35/mos, plus the $70 activation fee, so for the first 7 mos the bill would be credited $10 making it $25/mos". Obviously a no brainer. Then I get my bill, even before my SIM cards - so prior to beginning service with Telus - for $252 for both phones. I read the bill and find that it's $55/mos plus the activation fee and it's a 24mos deal then the bill goes up $15. So I call Telus, and I'm told that this is a scam offer that does not exist and he will "report" the person who was apparrently "just trying to make a quota". So this is a thing now? The same thing happened when I signe up for internet, agreed upon amount was much less than they initially billed until I called, and they billed me before they could get me a functioning router which left me working from home without internet for over a month. What has happened to Telus? They used to be the best!

I *NEVER* respond to cold calls for telecommunications services as there is too much chance of it being a scam. Instead, I call the company’s number myself, as the offers should be the same. If the offer I receive on calling them isn’t satisfactory, I don’t follow up any further.
I figure if something is too good to be true, it probably is.

That is definitely not the standard and we want to investigate whether that initial rep acted improperly (of the last rep you've talked to hasn't kickstarted it yet). We'll send you a private message to collect your account info.

On October 16, 2024, I was offered a $30/month plan to transfer two lines. The sales agent, Brenda C., assured me this would lead to savings. Despite initial hesitation due to past billing issues with Telus, I trusted your team again—unfortunately, this has caused nothing but frustration. Shortly after signing up, I discovered my plans were not $30/month but $70/month each—a 233% increase. I contacted your team immediately, and while I was promised a fix, nothing was done for 30 days. In November, when I called again to cancel, I was told Brenda had set up my account incorrectly and failed to apply credits. I was informed the $30 plan was no longer available but could switch to a $50 plan instead. I reluctantly agreed. In December, my bill still showed $70/month. Another call revealed a credit issue, and I was promised the correct amount would appear in the next billing cycle. It is now January 15, 2025, and the issue remains unresolved after 10+ calls and hours wasted. My Questions: Why are your team members allowed to sell plans that cannot be honored? Why has this issue persisted for 4 months without resolution? Who can I speak to for real, actionable help? How can I reach someone capable of resolving this efficiently? Please do not request my account details again. I’ve provided them numerous times, and I trust my account notes document this extensively. This situation is incredibly disappointing. I expected better from Telus. Please address this matter urgently. PLEASE HELP.
