Accessibility issues with interactive word games on mobile networks?
Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that some browser-based word puzzles don’t always load consistently when switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data. For example, while trying an unlimited spelling game mode during short breaks, the page sometimes refreshes or drops progress on mobile. Is this usually related to network optimization, caching, or browser handling on carrier networks? I’m also curious if similar issues can affect other lightweight, interactive sites and what settings might help improve stability.
Google Play Charges to my Telus Bill
Hello, I got a Google Pixel 3 watch when I renewed my mobility contract back in March 2025. In June 2025 I started getting random Google Play charges added to my Telus bill, apparently through my watch 'phone number'. I have never setup Google payments through Mobile Carriers on my Google account, transactions are always through my bank. I checked my Google transaction history, my payments and subscriptions, payment methods etc and these transations do not show up ANYWHERE! When I first contacted Telus they told me they could not tell which vendors the charges were from, but they were able to provide a corrolation ID for each purchase. I submitted a Unauthorized Charge Claim to Google and they came back with the automated message: 'After reviewing your claim, we were unable to confirm fraudulent activity in this case, so no refund will be provided by Google at this time. If you would like to pursue the matter further, you can reach out to your financial institution.' The problem with that response is, my bank can't help because these charges weren't through my bank. I then contacted Telus again via phone, and this time they were able to tell me the charges were for Snapchat, and Audible (I don't purchase anything through either of these apps). I asked for the corrolation ID's for the newer charges and the woman said she couldn't provide them. Yet when I contacted them again through live chat they were able to provide the IDs. I then submitted another claim and received the same response. To reiterate, these charges have not appeared anywhere else across my accounts; Google, Snapchat, Audible etc, they only show up on my Telus bills! I do not have Mobile Carrier set up as a payment method! The charges are now up to $32.15. I don't know what else I can do so I am hoping to see if anyone else has had a similar situation. Thanks for reading!
Impossible to cancel mobility service
I have been trying to cancel a Telus mobility account for my 80 year old mother who no longer even lives in BC and I keep getting the run around. I have NEVER experienced anything as bad as Telus customer service. After two plus hours on the phone a month ago i was told that the account had been canceled, and i would receive an invoice for the balance owing on her phone. I understand that and was totally ready to pay that. However, upon looking at the bank account this week I saw that the monthly charge had come out again. I reached out to Telus to find out what happened, and when i finally got through they said they had "no record of the cancelation request." I then waited on hold again listening to the same terrible song, and then one rep finally "verified" the account. I was then told I would be put on a "very brief hold and then someone would be able to help me" A few minutes later the system said it was after hours and nobody was available and hung up on me. That happened twice this week and it was nowhere near after hours. I think it is a ploy by Telus to make it impossible to cancel. I have now reached out to the bank and put a stop payment on all Telus payments. If anyone is looking to start a class action lawsuit i am interested.
