How do you use Call Control on a business cell phone with no admin?
So, like millions of Telus customers, I have a business-assigned cell phone. I want to use call control. I asked our main office to see if they were able to enable it for me, which they did. When I went to see how to use it and set up phone numbers, every article I find tells me to login to the Telus portal to administer that. I don't have access to the Telus admin portal - none of our employees do, as I'm sure 99% of businesses are set up in similar ways. So is this service unusable for business customers?
