Telus customer service lying to customers
Telus has been calling me twice a day to sell the Telus mobility services, ever since I enrolled for Telus home service. Each time it is from a different number hence not possible to screen the calls. They convinced me to consider a discounted connection offer as am a Telus home service customer. Sent me SIM card and promised repeatedly that I have time to consider till the activation of the SIM card. As I will only be charged once the SIM is activated. That was not true. Then they charged me for the unactivated SIM card. I called them and they confirmed the charges are dropped. Again a lie. And now they have sent the case to action collection. Never thought I have to see this day. I would like to complain via this forum as I have been made to believe lie after lie by the on call support. I would like to claim damages and distress caused by Telus with repeated calls and lies. How do you do business if you allow your own customer service to convey lies and misinformation to your own customers? I know how, because you have the market monopoly!
Collection Agency - Telus Account Error - can I please speak to a human???
Hi There, I have multiple accounts with Telus all of which are fully paid and up-to-date. A collections agency has been contacting me regarding a purported amount owing on a Telus account. I thought it was a scam since all my Telus accounts are fully paid up and have always been. Now it's showing up on my credit rating. After multiple attempts, I finally spoke to a Telus agent who was able to figure out that the Telus Account # that the collections agency is contacting me about appears to be an error (I have another Telus mobility account for the phone number at issue and it is fully paid and in good standing). However, because it is a pre-paid account, the agent said he was a mobility agent (not a pre-paid agent) and so he couldn't help me further. He then tried to transfer me to Telus pre-paid. First I was routed to a store representative, and they told me to call back to 611. I have done that, and I cannot get through to an actual person at Telus pre-paid because Telus' system keeps bumping me to an online assistant. Can someone please message me to get this sorted out.
Closed account
I transferred my mobility plan to another provider. Telus immediately closed my account. I want to pay my final bill. I have tried, Chat, Telephone and X to talk to someone but as my account number no longer works their AI will not connect me to anyone. Telus has to be the the most difficult company to reach to pay a bill in the western hemisphere. So far I have spent over an hour trying to pay the final bill. Any chance anyone here has a contact email for someone there so I can get a copy of my final bill and pay it? Thanks,
Shipping label to return device takes days to receive??
Hello, I'm getting frustrated with Telus as a simple email apparently takes days to receive. I have an old phone that needs to be returned under their bring it back plan. I went to one of their physical store and was told that they can't help me because I ordered my new phone online. The person "sent" me the email with the shipping label to help but I haven't received any email with attached shipping label. She told me that I should've received the shipping label already when my order was processed. None was sent to me. I called *611 two times. Both times the agent "sent" the shipping label emails to two different emails of mine. But still no telus shipping label was found in any of my emails in both circumstances even though they wait for me receive it. The second agent I talked to said he physically can see the electronic shipping label but gave me a reason that due to black Friday coming up, telus has lots of orders and processing is taking some time for the shipping labels to get sent. He assured me that within 24 hours I will get the shipping label. I told him straight up that I don't believe him because I was told the same during my first call. Now my concern is in this day and age, emails do not take days to be received. Under telus' bring it back plan, users have 30 days to return their old device upon receiving their new phone. I feel that I've been getting the run around and eventually will get charged for not returning my old phone. My phone is packaged and ready to go. All that is missing is this mysterious, hard to get shipping label. I feel that I'm going to call telus support again in the next few days for the same issue. How long does it take to receive shipping labels to return phone? Is there another way to further escalate this issue, just to get shipping labels, because the phone agents are not of help. All they say is to wait. I'm afraid that I keep on waiting but eventually get charged for keeping the phone.
MyTELUS App Showing Wrong Phone Number After Agent-Assisted Transfer”
Hi everyone, I’m trying to figure out a strange MyTELUS app issue. At the top of the app, where my name appears next to the arrow that opens the sidebar, it’s showing my dad’s phone number instead of mine. This started right after a TELUS agent helped complete a number transfer on the account. The transfer itself worked, but now the app is pulling in the wrong number even though the account is under my name. I’ve tried logging out, reinstalling the app, and refreshing the account details, but the incorrect number still shows. TELUS claims they’ve fixed it on their end and that it may take up to 48 hours for the correct number to display. It feels really strange, but it sounds like a temporary display glitch related to backend account syncing and caching after the transfer. Is there someone here who can investigate this further, or has anyone experienced the same issue? Thanks in advance for any insight.
New Account Suspended
I signed up for an account yesterday (around 6pm) and started using my new plan on an esim right away. A couple hours later, service stopped working. I checked online and it said my account has been suspended. I tried using the chat bot for help—it connected me to an agent (supposedly) and I have been waiting for over eight hours for a response. I called their phone line several times, yesterday and today, and wasn’t able to reach anyone. How can I resolve this? Honestly, with how poor their customer service is, I may end up switching to another provider anyway.
How to close a chat?
I was in the middle of resolving a few issues related to my account with what seemed to be a live person (though today you never know). They have been dropping me after each answer and I was restarting the chat again. After that, they shifted me to the module of scheduling a callback, and that thing offers me the dates where I am absolutely not available, and I cannot leave this chat and start another one unless I choose one of the dates. I tried everything I tried to been choosing another category of products. It still opens the same chat, forcing me to choose the dates and doesn't want me to connect to a live agent. Should I just wait for a week and restart the chat again? Sounds like a very dumb solution. Is there a cheat code to get out of that AI chat?How to identify Telus service calls?
I'm worried: A couple of days ago I had several calls from people in India claiming they were from Telus. They knew my name, address, and account number. I thought "Ok, maybe they really are Telus account managers". But now I'm not so sure. If they really were official Telus accounts people, why don't they use their real names? Because when you hear somebody with a big Indian accent say their name is "Alex" or "Norman", aren't people going to think "Sure dude, those are common Indian names" and roll their eyes? That's what we're supposed to do when we get called by scammers, right, Telus? I did get another call back from somebody else who sounded like they were legit, and answered all my questions. BUT. It's been three days already, and I see one minor change to our TV/Internet package. The one important change I asked for has not been done, and we've received no conformation email from Telus. (Yes, I checked my spam folder.) Frankly, we're talking about finding a more responsive provider.
