Last attempt before legal action
I have been a loyal TELUS customer since before the brand existed. Over the years, I watched TELUS grow into a leader in Canadian telecom. Unfortunately, my recent experiences as both a customer and property owner of Redwater Site #1210 have declined to the point that they require public attention. Several years ago, I was the victim of TELUS Mobility fraud. I ordered one phone but was sent three. I returned two immediately, yet was billed for all three and later charged for plans tied to those devices once activated elsewhere. While travelling, the one phone I kept was abruptly shut down by TELUS’s fraud unit, leaving me stranded and forced to buy a replacement. Since then, I have spent more than two years pursuing a refund and resolution. I have endured broken promises, managers who never called back, being yelled at, falsely accused, hung up on, and misled about U.S. coverage. Escalations produced no results. I continue to face charges for services I never used, including U.S. roaming fees. I repeatedly asked for a mobility plan that covered Canada and the U.S., but this was never provided. Adding to this, I am entitled under my tower agreement to four complimentary phones of my choice every two years. Despite repeated written and verbal requests, I have received none. As a matter of professional courtesy — corporation to corporation — I ask TELUS executive leadership: What do you advise if my requests for resolution, contract fulfillment, and fair compensation continue to be ignored? I will gladly send proof of Telus's internal fraud, bills and communications with Telus for the last 2.5 years to anyone that will listen and take action. My only goal is fair treatment, accountability, and the service TELUS claims to provide its customers. I look forward to your prompt response. Brian Lasner, MD
Renewal the Business plan
I have maintained a Telus business account for approximately five years at what I considered to be a reasonable rate. However, in 2023, my monthly bill suddenly increased by 50%. When I contacted Telus for clarification, I was advised that nothing could be done. As a result, I was forced to switch to another provider, incurring activation fees and SIM card fees for four lines. Shortly thereafter, a representative from Telus’ loyalty department contacted me. They acknowledged that the previous handling of my account had been inappropriate and assured me that Telus wished to retain my business. I explained that my concerns were not purely financial, but also related to the quality of customer service and reliability. The representative guaranteed that such an issue would not recur and assured me of a permanent and reasonable rate to offset my out-of-pocket costs, which were already in excess of $400. On this basis, I agreed to return to Telus. Unfortunately, less than two years later, Telus again applied a sudden and disproportionate increase, this time raising my monthly charges by approximately 75% across all lines. When I contacted Telus regarding this matter, I was told, “We cannot do anything—do whatever you want.” I consider this treatment to be unreasonable, misleading, and detrimental to small business owners, particularly after explicit assurances were provided by Telus’ loyalty department. I am seeking guidance on how to file a formal complaint regarding this matter and hold the company accountable for these practices.
Business number change. 90 day???
Hey, Recently activated my Telus Business Mobility account - prior to doing so I asked about transferring my number from a EPP account that I was using previously and was told that it would be no problem. I tried calling in to the 611 number to begin the process... Long story short I was sent to EPP to initiate the process.. which I believe now was an ownership transfer. I had to essentially start another plan for this number because my new account was not 90 days old??? Right now I have the TELUS Mobility business account with the 2 lines I wanted too have - 1 of which I was going to transfer the number to the one I have been using for the past 16+ years. I have my original number transferred to this account but on its own business plan now. The 2 lines on the business account apparently are activation plans and I signed up one of the lines with the Pixel 8 and the numbers can't be touched because they aren't 90 days old??? I am stuck paying for this additional plan for 90 days I guess? the other option was to leave it on the other account for 90 days or cancel the lines I just started and do what I did today but the line was going to be more expensive?? Not really sure what to do. I just want the number my customers/employees know to call to work on this new account as I was told.
