38 TopicsMobility Service Cancellation
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.169Views1like3CommentsHave CAN/US/MEX but can't connect in Mexico
I have the unlimited 5G 100 Canada-US-Mexico. Once I landed in Mexico I found I can't connect. I've reset my phone multiple times, made sure the roaming setting was on, tried to connect manually to every carrier available in the setting. Nothing works. Extremely frustrated as I've been paying extra for US/MEX for no reason, and the Telus help not keeps saying someone will call me. They can't, because I can't connect to the cell service I've been paying for for over a year now. Yeesh. Anyone got any ideas while I still have limited airport Wi-Fi?

I’m trying to port my number from SpeakOut to TELUS Prepaid and haven’t been able to get help either online or by phone. I’m wondering if anyone else has had the same issue or found a solution. Here’s what I’ve done so far: I purchased a TELUS prepaid plan, set up my account, and was assigned a temporary phone number. When I dial *611 on my TELUS SIM, I’m redirected to the virtual assistant. I asked about porting my number, and it told me to call 1-855-251-2601 or 1-855-278-2808, but both numbers are no longer in service. I then messaged TELUS support through this forum. They asked for my phone number and IMEI, but said they couldn’t help because I couldn’t provide an account number, which SpeakOut doesn’t assign account numbers. They gave me another number 1-877-868-3587 to try. When I call it, I enter my old number and my TELUS temporary number. The system says it’s retrieving my information, plays music for a few seconds, then cuts to an automated message saying there was no input from me. It then prompts me to re-enter the TELUS number and loops back to the virtual assistant again. At this point, I can’t seem to reach a real person, and I’m completely stuck. Has anyone successfully ported in from SpeakOut to TELUS prepaid? Is there another way to do this without an account number? If porting prepaid numbers isn’t supported, does anyone know if TELUS would at least provide a refund? Thanks.27Views0likes0CommentsDifficulty Retrieving Past Invoices and Support Issues
This is about invoices, attempting to find the first five months of the year & being unable to. Why? In June due to spotty rural-mobility-internet Telus switched me to a new mobility internet mode, attached to the exterior of my home. The previous service ran through a small in-home box with a Sim card -- both services are/were with Telus Mobility. Fast forward to needing to submit invoices for the year and attempting to download them: they are available June -December but not January - May. Asking the support ChatBot for help was like asking my dog to empty the dishwasher. Totally useless. I called for support and after many (many) stretched out minutes of my life a human named Herbert told me he'd help me. He even asked how my day was going 🤪 AND YET. After me sharing the account number of the previous connection, I was told that it didn't exist. Also NO he couldn't pass me through to anyone at all to discuss this with because, as he patiently explained several times to my incredulous ears, my account didn't exist. So I couldn't be helped. Despite me having several years worth of emails reminding me of my many preauthorized payments! Eventually he put me on hold to reconfirm with his supervisor that indeed he was unable to help me. And that was the last of Telus's human help. Me, I waited on hold there for 20 more minutes. Truly a fool for expending my last shred of faith. The agent never returned to the call. If it wasn't for really needing the $500 of paid invoices, I wouldn't be typing this. Before I arrived here in the 'neighbourhood' (🤮) I searched the Telus website for 'human customer service' – they offered me GenAI Support Tool (🤮). And now, having read this far, you understand the title of this post: so many lols with the chaos of telus. And if any helpful soul out there in the 'hood has any recommendations about how to access the early-year invoices I'd be charmed for sure. Until then, I'll be over here scrolling telus's collection of cute animals. So calming.83Views0likes2CommentsReturn 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.48Views0likes3CommentsMobility Offer Issue
I’m posting this to see whether others have had similar experiences and to highlight what feels like a clear bait and switch or, at best, serious internal incompetence. My TELUS services were up for renewal. Over several weeks, I received multiple calls from offshore representatives. While I respect offshore support teams. Later in November 2025 a call from Patrick He offered the following in writing, dated November 28, 2025: CAN–US–MEX Unlimited 100GB shareable 4 mobile lines at $30 per line iPhone 17s at $10 per phone Two TELUS/Bell fibre internet connections at $75 We agreed to proceed.Shortly after, the internet contract arrived and it was wrong. We requested corrections repeatedly. None came. Despite emails prompting us to “connect services,” we never received finalized contracts for mobile or internet.After requesting escalation, we were later told by another agent that the offer was “fraudulent” and that Patrick was a fraudster. Here’s where it gets absurd: someone else in my office accepted the same offer and received four Nubia Flip 2 phones (~$800 each) with TELUS SIM cards. If the offer was fraudulent, how did TELUS ship real hardware through their own systems? After two months, 50+ emails, and countless calls, another rep confirmed Patrick was a TELUS employee. The final response reframed the issue as if I were asking for a competitor price match—which I was not. I simply expect TELUS to honor a written offer made by their own representative. Has anyone else experienced written offers later denied, reps disowned, or deals reframed as “price matching” after the fact? I’m still open to resolving this reasonably—but honoring a written agreement should not be controversial.Thank you52Views0likes1CommentRequest for Assistance to Unlock My iPhone 6
Dear TELUS Customer Support Team, I am writing to formally request your assistance in unlocking my iPhone, which is currently locked to the TELUS network.

Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response.60Views0likes1CommentBad 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.62Views0likes1CommentShipping 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.247Views0likes9Comments
