Arm House from Door Pad
How can I set my alarm to arming away when I lock the door from just the PAD? We've had Vivint previously and we had that option and with the Telus system it arms away even with locking the door from inside.thecassiepaige22 minutes agoFriendly Neighbour5.7KViews0likes26CommentsCan 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.5Views0likes0CommentsRenewed 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.Jawsjaws2 days agoNeighbour18Views0likes1CommentVery 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.34Views0likes3CommentsNew 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.7Views0likes1CommentSmarthome 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?SteveBH4 days agoFriendly Neighbour33Views0likes3CommentsNoise 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.Deekay38848 days agoOrganizer3.4KViews0likes58Comments- Champion350411 days agoNeighbour26Views0likes1Comment
Monitoring Centre never calling for alarm triggers
We just switched from Bell Smart Home monitoring to Telus and I could not be more unimpressed. So far we’ve had a few triggers by accidentally opening the doors without disarming, also my dog barking at home triggered the glass break sensor when we were gone. But the issue is we never receive a call from the monitoring centre either by phone or at the panel. When I was with Bell it was within 10-15 seconds there was someone on the panel asking me for my verbal password which made me feel safe and secure. Not once so far with Telus which is weird because all I hear is Telus owns the ADT security which Bell was subbing out from Telus, how can the owners have worse service??? Currently on hold trying to connect with an agent AGAIN to explain this issue. I either want this resolved or I want out.Alexander7415 days agoNeighbour581Views1like10CommentsOverdue bill - error
My Home Security account is on pre-authorized payment and went through on November 15 (which is also reflected on my account). However, I just happened to be looking on my account and it is showing as overdue. This is clearly a glitch on the system that needs to be fixed. I would like someone to look into this ASAP as I do not want to be penalized for something that is already paid.Solvedvazandrew16 days agoNeighbour38Views0likes1Comment
