Abusive and Unprofessional Conduct
As a Senior who recently had a heart attack and am currently trying to recover, I was astounded to be called <names> 3 times during a conversation with one of your representatives. Telus charged $340 to my account for a Bring It Back device that was returned in good condition on October 14, 2025 and for which I was explicitly promised a $340 credit. I have written confirmation of this assurance in an email from Telus which was sent on October 16, 2025 after my phone was assessed. Despite this, the credit was not applied and the amount was instead treated as an outstanding balance. For a month & a half I have been trying to rectify this situation, having made 11 attempts. However, I have been told 3 different excuses for the charge. First, I was told that the phone was not received by Telus until I sent the proof of delivery notice from Purolator. Second, I was told that I had chosen to keep the phone. Again I provided proof that the phone had been returned and today I was told by an executive that my phone was too badly damaged. I know this to be untrue because I personally took my phone to the Uxbridge Telus store on October 12, 2025 & had them inspect the phone. My friend who is a lawyer was with me & can attest to this.
Mobility Account Issues
On January 27th I received a promotional email from Telus for more data on a 5G postpaid plan, and a Pixel 10 on a 2 year payment plan. On January 31st I called Telus to inquire about whether I qualified or was eligible for the promotion and I was told yes I was. So while on the phone with that same person we began switching my provider to Telus. 4 days later after having been through the following (1) No cell service for over 3 days, and needing to find alternatives to legal and personal texts. (2) No follow up email after getting disconnected during the set up call. (3) Still not able to receive emails from Telus at either my Protonmail or Gmail, and talking to technical support about it yielding no solution. (4) Being told to wait longer for service when that wasn't the issue at all. It was an Esim issue on Telus's end. (5) Hours spent on the phone. Needing someone to babysit my 1 year old so I can get service. I understand that is not all Telus's fault, but when I just so happened to off-handedly mention my rate to a representative two days ago (because I can't seem to yet register for MyTelus), I was told I was paying more than the promotion indicated, and man that draws the line. I'm livid. After all of that and a week later, I get told that the promotion only lasted 1 day and now I don't qualify. The only reason I went through all that was because Telus sent me an email, I didn't go looking for some better deal, and I asked explicitly multiple times on the first call whether I qualified, and I was told yes. I even reiterated details of the deal. That's the only reason I switched. To experience this kind of dishonesty and deception and lack of integrity.. I don't know if I've ever been so angry and mistrusting of a business before. I don't even understand why pay a marketing department to piss people off. The whole point is to attract me as a customer with that deal. I'm baffled as much as I am upset. This is unacceptable.Return label for Bring it Device
I have called customer service 9 times and all 9 times I have been told different things. They promised to send the return label within 48 hours which still has not been sent. Every time when I call telus regarding this matter, I have to spend at least 30 min to talk to a telus agent. You guys wasted my time and I am very unsatisfied with the service. I've still didnt get return label yet. And my return device period was expired. Please help me to solve this problem.Bring It Back Contract Expiring - Flagship Not Released Yet
I have consistantly been on a bring-it-back contract for the last 6 years. The cycle has been perfect with aligning a new contract with the release of the new Samsung flagship phone. Unfortunately, this year seems to be different. My contract is up on the 17th, and there has been no mention of the S26 release yet. Will Telus provide an extension for me to wait for the new release? I would really like to get the newest model if possible, but don't want to pay the bring-it-back amount to keep the phone.
Bad Shipping Address - Can't Get My Phone
I've been a Telus customer for over 20 years. On Nov. 22, I ordered a new phone and plan, as my old one was due to expire, and I was on the buy it back program. On Nov. 24, I received an email indicating my new phone has been shipped via FedEx and provided a tracking number. On Nov. 25, FedEx called me and said the shipping address was invalid and to call them. Over the next couple of days I spoke to FedEx three times; the shipping label Telus provided only had the city and province on it. I tried to correct the address, but FedEx was not able due to restrictions that Telus put on the shipping. I asked for FedEx to send it to one of their outlets near me and I would pick it up in person. FedEx was not able to due that due to the shipping restrictions put on it. FedEx then informed me that only Telus can fix the problem. I still don't understand why FedEx would not have contacted Telus directly to resolve the problem, instead of involving me. Since then I have called Telus five times, and they either have refused to fix their problem, or said they have submitted forms to correct the issue. Every few days go by and no updates, package still stuck at FedEx. Finally, I receive notification from FedEx that they are returning the package to Telus as undeliverable. I contacted Telus one last time and wanted them to send me a new phone. The person I spoke to finally confirmed they would do it, and submitted forms for that to happen. I was supposed to receive an email when the new order is processed and shipped. Well no email has been received, and now I will need to call Telus again to try and get my new phone. It's been almost a month now, and I am now getting a notification that if I don't return my old phone soon, I will not get credit for it under the program. I am hoping someone at Telus will respond to this that can actually solve the problem, because I'm fed up and prepared to walk away.
BEWARE of Bring it Back
First of all, I had been on the Bring it Back program for YEARS. Suddenly two years ago I was charged the BIB amount after returning my phone. So the credit covered the fee which had never been charged before. In the end the rep figured out that somehow my account changed my account to just a trade in. But after 2 months a smart human realized it and fixed it. Fast forward to this year and guess what....it's happening again and not a single agent (when you can get ahold of one) knows what they are talking about. My husband is on BIB and has never had a BIB charge...yet here we are and I keep getting them. Will be moving all of my services tomorrow and returning the BIB device right away. Waste of 12+ years, countless hours on the phone/email and Telus does not care that they are losing 9+ lines of business phones and then also home services.
Bring-it-Back Issues
Bring it back is an extreme scam of a system. There’s no notifications about it ending, there’s no notice or flag for it ending nothing. We realized that our Bring it Back contract ended last month and tried to get a new phone today (17 days past) to be told we are past the 30 days. The charge hasn’t been added to the account yet but will appear next bill. Only option was to “trade in the phone for less then the owe amount and lose about $100” Customer service is a joke, this service is a scam.
