55 TopicsGood Review for Stephanie (Business) and Mark (Loyalty)
Hello! I just wanted to write about my good experience with the customer service agents: Stephanie from the TELUS Business department, and Mark from the TELUS Loyalty department. This morning, I accidentally contacted Stephanie from the TELUS Business department to inquire and deliver a concern about a residential account. Despite this, she listened to my concern, took the initiative to transfer my call, and forwarded the details of my concern to the correct department. She went beyond my expectations and took excellent care of me as a customer by ensuring that my transition to the next TELUS agent was minimal effort, smooth, and flawless. After my discussion with a TELUS agent from the Residential department, I was transferred to a call with Mark in the Loyalty department. Mark was very understanding of my needs and concerns, and his service was very efficient. Mark's solutions to my concerns were straightforward, transparent, and most importantly: effective. He took excellent care of me by providing me with all the necessary details in a succinct and thorough manner. I was honestly very impressed and happy to have worked with him. There's no doubt in my mind that the calls with the above representatives are the highlight of my slow Wednesday morning. I hope that this review reaches them, and I sincerely wish them the best. Thank you for your service! Natalie45Views2likes1CommentI was a customer...
But now I'm not and haven't been for years. Recently, I discovered that I have an outstanding balance of $6 that has been harming my credit score for years. I thought I paid the balance when I closed the account as I received no paperwork or phone calls to tell me I still had a balance of $6. I don't know the phone number. I don't know the account number but I think I will have the information needed to access this account if I could kindly speak to a person. The chat agent AI is unhelpful and the phone queue is 1hr+ wait time. I just wanna pay the $6 so it can stop hurting my credit.104Views1like3CommentsImpossible 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.108Views1like3CommentsBusiness Mobility Account Suspended Abroad – Seeking Advice
Hi everyone, I switched two business lines from Rogers to Telus Business Mobility a few days ago. Both lines suddenly went into SOS mode and my account appeared suspended in MyTelus while I’m abroad on a work trip. I cannot access SMS on my primary business number of 15 years, which means I can’t log in to many services that rely on SMS authentication. My business partner, back in Canada with a newborn, also lost service. His phone is in SOS mode with no landline, meaning no 911 access. He is now scrambling to buy an eSIM just to have data for work. I’ve called Telus support 3–4 times. I’m told the account is still “processing” and that Fraud must review documents. I sent the requested IDs, Hydro bill, and incorporation papers immediately, but I have had no response back from the fraud department. I asked why verification wasn’t completed before activating, porting, and issuing eSIMs. Even the agent admitted that was a “good question.” I’ve been a Telus Home Fiber customer for over 6 years, always in good standing, and I linked the new mobility account under the same My Telus profile with the same payment card. I assumed that history was part of why my account was approved quickly. At this point I feel powerless. I’m a 20-hour flight away, my business partner has a newborn, and both of us are stranded without working numbers. Has anyone else experienced this? What is the fastest way to escalate inside Telus? Should I go directly through [email protected], or is there a better way to get this unblocked urgently? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Solved92Views1like3CommentsWhose Protection Matters?
I called Telus to add my partner as an authorized user on my account. I went through a long security process to have my identity verified to do this. I was then asked by the agent about another user on the account. I immediately thought, "another user?". I had been the owner of this account for over 4 years. The account was transferred to me by an old roommate when she moved from our apartment, and my current partner moved in. I inquired if that was the name she was referring to, and the agent would not confirm. The agent refused to confirm or tell me who else had been authorized to be on the account (MY ACCOUNT). This is appalling. She finally told me that the name started with an F and was hard to pronounce, but she had already removed it, so I shouldn't worry. I am so infuriated. I should not worry? This person had access to information and services that I had to go through a long phone call wait time and an extensive security process to access. So I am left asking, "whose security Telus?", since it definitely does not feel like my rights and privacy are respected. Has anyone else experienced such bizarre treatment? What is the secret here? I am beginning to doubt Telus more than I did prior. I think I'll start looking for other providers.46Views1like2CommentsIssues with Offer Redemption and Customer Service
I've been with Telus for almost 12 years and have ALWAYS had stellar service from them. Both reasonable and human, but now Everytime I call, nobody seems to have any authority at all even "at the highest levels". They keep saying "let me check what's available in the system" and it's always poor offers. There was one guy that sent me a good offer and said it can be redeemed in-store or online, so I drove half-hour to the Telus store and they could not redeem it, told me to come back the next day. Went back, still could not redeem it. I had to call in again, stuck on hold forever, and then was told they cannot honor the offer they sent. I argued for quite a while and then finally had to tell him that if he didn't honor it, I would report Telus to the regulatory body for telecommunications in Canada, which suddenly made him want to figure it out. He said he'd call me back at 5pm the next day and he didn't. I had to call in again (another hour at least on the phone), and he finally made the offer work. I told him that the offered stated I could redeem in-store and that I drove in twice at Telus's recommendation (half hour one way x4 =2hrs) and sat in store for about 45 minutes each time not to mention hours on the phone trying to redeem this one offer. He replied with "this was a very complicated situation, I had to manually do the whole thing and I came out successfully, so no I cannot do any more than that." So basically, the guy from telus complained that he had to figure out how to honor the offer they sent me, and then wouldn't reimburse me in the slightest for my 2 hours of driving, my time, or my aggravation. On TOP of that, the offer I received stated in no uncertain terms "you are eligible for family discount." It does not say "terms and conditions apply" or "please confirm eligibility with an agent" or anything of the sort, it is written as a pre-evaluated statement that I AM eligible. Again, Telus will not honor that. I hope someone in the management team reads this. I've personally been with Telus almost 12 years, brought my wife over from Eastlink, brought my grandmother over, brought multiple family members into Telus by sharing promotions that I've seen, and that does not seem to matter to them at all. If things don't change soon, I may as well just finish up my contracts and go find another service provider.2.5KViews1like4CommentsWhy am i unable to Remove an account off my telus account?
