69 TopicsNSF Fee & Transfer of Ownership Issues
Current and already a TELUS Customer, For month of November we got billed over $300 ($325.28 to be exact). I got $80 NSF FEE and I don’t know how even my bank has sufficient funds. Transfer of Ownership: we got charged $75 for this! And we’re not aware and not been told to us, plus why are we being charged for this one even we’re already with TELUS. Partial Charges: we’ve been charged with this one too! Even we just got a new plan. Which cost already half of the plan. CUSTOMER SUPPORT: I can’t even talk to one of customer support. Hopefully we can lower this down, or waived them. ‘Cause we’re here to save not to pay more. This cost me so much stress, Receiving a message my next bill will be over $300. Hope we can resolve this. We might go to a Different provider because of this issue!120Views0likes5CommentsFirst Time NSF Fee Waiver
I am writing because I've been with Telus for over a year now. On September 25th, despite having sufficient funds in my bank account for the pre-authorized payment, the payment was refunded to my account. After the charge was refunded the same day, Telus charged me again on Oct 2nd, and this time it went through. I'm charged an 80 CAD NSF fee on my upcoming bill. I'm hoping I can have it waived, as it's not the problem on my end; it should be the issue with the communication between Telus and my bank. This is the first time I have heard of this policy. I wasn't informed about it when I first registered for authorized payment.142Views0likes1CommentHow Do We Get Better Cell Coverage in My Area?
I live in a country residential area in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island and we have horrendous cellular service. Like, zero bars of service. In my area, we need to either use “calling over wifi” to make a cell phone call, or drive 15 minutes into town and sit in the parking lot of the grocery store to make or receive a call. Wifi calling does not always work and when it doesn’t, I cannot make or receive phone calls. This is not only a convenience problem, this is an economic problem - because I work out of my home. But most important of all, this is a safety issue: if an emergency occurs and I need to call 911, chances are my cell phone will not work and I will not be able to contact emergency services. How do we go about getting more cell towers in my area to improve cell coverage? Not having reliable, effective and consistent cellular telephone service is a serious issue.Solved186Views0likes2CommentsPhone number transfer and creating new eSIM
I'm a new Telus customer and I've been having technical issues with getting one of my phone numbers ported. The account specialist keeps telling me to wait or that it's being worked on or that I should be receiving a text notification for the porting. I did not see this issue make any progress. I thought I'd try deleting the eSIM and recreating it on MyTelus, but I ran into more issues and couldn't create a new eSIM. It's been half a month and frustrating to see that my first monthly bill is more than double the amount I should be paying and I can't use one of the phone lines...231Views0likes3Commentscustomer service
We were contacted by a telemarketer regarding Mobility and Security. Decided to cancel the security camera the next day. I believe I contacted 7 Telus representatives. Each one told me they could not help me as the issue was Security's if they were Mobility, and then Mobility's if they were Security. Finally contacted one representative and the whole thing was cancelled. To add insult to injury we then requested to complete the two mobility offers and Mobility could not match the telemarketers offer as they are mobility and the telemarketer was Security. Unbelievable!130Views0likes1CommentSorry, you are not authorized to access this information when trying to use myTelus
I have been a prepaid telus client for over a decade. I have always used the myTelus app to manage my account. For the last several months, the app has logged me in, showed that it sees my account, and then redirected me to the web/browser version instead of letting me use the app. The web/browser version then also logs me in, shows my current account, but when I try to actually do anything with the account, clicking the "manage" button brings me to a screen saying "Sorry, you are not authorized to access this information." This happens on any browser, any device. I have checked ownership and account access level, and I am correctly listed as the owner I have called customer service 3 separate times about this issue, and they all just lie and say it is a momentary bug and to try again. This has been going on for months. They are useless. I now have to call #123 to load money once a month because i cannot set up any authorized payments or even change my settings or offerings. Or i can call and talk to customer service, which is infuriating, and they charge a fee for help!452Views0likes6CommentsEPP and hardware upgrade
OK, So I cam back to TELUS from Freedom on the basis that the plan I was offered included the Caribbean. The sales rep essentially created a plan for me at a price I was OK with for what I needed. I was undecided about whether I was going to update my hardware and apparently that was OK and I could call back and let them know. Low and behold, less than a week later I am trying to call to upgrade the hardware and no one can help, there is no way I can keep this plan (which doesn't seem to actually exist anywhere!) and upgrade my hardware, the price will essentially more than double and I HAVE to change my plan if I want to upgrade the hardware, this is very disappointing from TELUS and am likely to leave again after only a week of being back with them because of this shady stuff Anyone had anything similar and managed to keep the plan and upgrade hardware? I will move to a cheaper plan at this point!264Views0likes6CommentsWhy my Long distance add-ons in plan expiring ?
I have two mobile phone lines under same the account with Telus mobility. My plan agreement which started from August 1, 2025 includes long distance calling (2000 minutes/month) to India/Pakistan as long as my plan is active. The add -ons are currently active on both the phone lines. However I see in my billing that they are expiring in Aug/Sept this year. Why? I tried to call Telus today but the agent disconnected my line after putting me on hold.415Views0likes10CommentsTravel Pass
I am not able to add a travel pass online or through the app. It tells me I have easy roam. I have also tried the webchat and was told to email that person, and they haven't responded My Telus business rep for some reason cannot add it. I called in and had two phone calls with a call back, only to be put on hold to be transferred and not able to wait long enough to finally connect to someone I have had a travel pass already and it was activated in a web chat, so I am very confused on why this time around it is so difficult.214Views0likes2Comments
