Telus has the worst customer service of any modern day cellular company.  Their customer service team is not able to fix my problem. 

I have been without my business cell phone number for one week. 7 days without a single business call based on customer one  mistake of operator error. No apology. No

resolve. Just excuses.

Remember, wildfires happen in the USA as well.  This site shows cross border smoke.
