Request to Waive Early Cancellation Fees – Non-Functional Security Service
I am requesting cancellation of my TELUS Home Security service with a full waiver of early cancellation fees. TELUS has sent multiple emails stating that “the system was not armed”, yet no corrective action, technician visit, or resolution was provided. As a result, the system has not delivered the security service I am paying for. Additionally, I will be outside Canada for an extended period, making this non-functional service unusable and unreliable. This request is based on failure to provide the contracted service, not convenience. Please escalate this request to retentions or a supervisor and provide written confirmation and a case number. Thank you.
Can my calls since April 2025 be reviewed ????
I have already spoke to loyalty department with no result and they said there is no where for me to elevate my concern. Moved in May 2025, was told to leave all My equipment at the old house the same as my house before….Called for the new installation for September 30th. Was going to let my contract just run out expiring in May 2026. Upon installation, was charged again for all equipment I had owned previously to the new location and was also renewed into a 3 year contract without my knowledge. Called but they said that I was advised of all this. My calls should be recorded. Why would I renew my contract another 3 years? I think maybe the call agents have sales targets. My last call with Elvis Calanche on Dec9th reassured me I could cancel on May 2026. Then this week my bill went up another $11.00 and apparently I was signed up by Elvis for Telus online security add on so I called in today and Christine cancelled this but then also advised me I’m in contract till September 2028 also asked her if my bill would go down by returning uninstalled equipment the tech left behind and she said because I have an unauthorized discount that she said my bill might go up. She also said. I’m lucky that my bill is low! Feeling very lost and confused with Telus. I only wanted to move my existing contract to another property and the representative signed me up on a new contract???? Why??Now I am stuck.Smarthome App vs Apple OS 26.1 & 2
After upgrading to iOS 26.1 for iPhone the Smartphone app stopped working on my home wi-fi. Simply get spinning logo and error message that an "unexpected error has occurred, try again". The app also reported having a connectivity issue. When I turn off wi-fi and use cellular data everything works fine. I cannot even log in to web portal on Mac under OS 26.1. I am currently using 26.2 on both but the same situation occurs. All other apps including My Telus work just fine. The control panel is connected to my wi-fi and works fine. My wife's iPhone has yet to be upgraded and it works with the Smarthome app. I contacted my ISP for Router concerns but the Router settings are working and like I said everything else connects and runs. Only the Smarthome app does not work with the current operating systems. Prior to the upgrade everything was working. Anyone have any suggestions or does Telus have to play catch up with the app?? One other fact, I can use Firefox to log in to the Telus Smart Home web portal for some reason but not Safari?
New panel, old lock
Telus recently replaced my security panel. At the same time, the technician replaced the batteries in my door lock. The lock works and I can open it with the codes etc, but it is not registered in the panel at all and so I cant lock or unlock the door in my app anymore. (So it also no longer has an audible "door locked" message) I took the lock case off and performed the reset instructions given in the app but it just won't connect at all. Any suggestions? I really dont want to have to call a technician out again.Renewed contract without consent
I have a Telus security contract 21832413 that was $32.00 a month renewing in May 2026, when I moved they said I could transfer to another address with no cost. I had it installed and then I was charged over $200 for installation then my bill went up to $42.00 a month. When I called in, I noticed my contract had been extended and renewed without my knowledge and my bill was now $42.00 a month . I called and spoke to loyalty department and Elvis Calanche said not to worry I could still cancel in May of 2026 but my bill went up by $10 a month due to added equipment. No additional equipment was added that I didn’t have at my large home from before. Then he said there’s nothing more I can do. I hung up and he emailed me both contracts. Now my newest bill is showing $52.00 a month and someone from Telus was searching my profile on LinkedIn. I want help on this matter. I feel like I have been taken advantage off and a prisoner to a contract I didn’t renew.
Very Unclear Service
I had a horrible experience with the Telus. I had a 2 years contract with telus from Jan1st 2024 so it will be expiring on 31st Dec 2025. On 1st Jan 2025—when I moved into my current address, I upgraded my wifi speed from 1gb to 3gb. THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM HAPPENS. A staff who came to install the wifi said I’m elgible for Home Security System (a little camera) with no EXTRA charges. He said it will be available as a free offer till the end of my contract. I declined the offer since I didn’t need it but he insisted me to take the camera because it was a free offer. Later, they shipped a camera to my address. I checked what it was and put it back in their box. I didn’t use their so called home security system. Now, I’m going to move out from the current address and contacted to Telus to cancle all my services since the contract is ending on Dec 31st. And they said there is a cancellation fees for Home Security System and the service is from Dec 2024 - Dec 2027. For 3 years? I didn’t even ordered their home security service and they made a contract for 3 years. I was so confused because I only accepted it because a Telus staff said it was a part of my wifi plan and it was free till the end of my 2 years contract. I contacted to Home Security Department and they said I had to pay. That doesn’t even make sense. Now I have to pay something I didn’t even use it at all. I’m not going to pay for it and I need actions from Telus asap. Telus need to come clear with their complicated offers and train their staffs to make valid offers.
Noise problem at Telus building - 826 Yates St
For the past 13 days there has been a constant loud noise coming from the rooftop of the Telus building at 826 Yates St, Victoria, BC. It sounds like a vacuum cleaner. It's been going non-stop 24 hours a day. You can hear it from down at street level. I've contacted Telus 3 times about it (various different people/departments) but they don't seem to have any way of contacting the building as apparently the building is temporarily closed(?). The phone number for the building has also been disconnected. The building is locked to the public. So it appears that no one is aware of this noisy equipment issue as I'm assuming they're all working from home during the building closure. I've been advised by Telus customer service to contact the property manager for the building, but they don't know who that is and there's no contact info for a property manager on the door of the building.
