How 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.
customer 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!
Very poor 5G service
My partner and I are both on 5G EPP plans and are experiencing poor 5G data service. We have been on both Koodo and Public Mobile for years and it has never been this bad, which makes no sense since it's the same network. We are both using Samsung Galaxy S23FE devices with physical sim cards, on the newest version of Android. We have reset network settings on both devices and that has not helped. 5G preferred is selected. We are located in Kingston, Ontario. Hoping someone at Telus support knows what they're doing and can help us out here. I don't need entry level "have you tried rebooting the device?" type of help, I need proper support, because otherwise as soon as the Rogers RPP deal that I'm looking for is available, we will jump ship. Rogers service in the past has been exceptional in comparison.Busuu Subscription?? What is that?
This situation reflects very poorly on TELUS and its billing/security systems. I was charged for Busuu/Google Play services on my TELUS bill even though I have never downloaded the app, never subscribed to it, and had never even heard of it before this charge appeared. I checked my Google Play account, subscriptions, installed apps, and payment history; there is absolutely no record of Busuu anywhere. What made this even more frustrating was TELUS customer service refusing to take responsibility and pushing me to contact Busuu instead, despite the charges appearing directly on my TELUS bill. If TELUS allows third-party companies to bill customers through their accounts, then TELUS should also be responsible for properly verifying and securing those charges. After looking online, I found multiple TELUS customers reporting the exact same issue involving unauthorized Google Play charges. This clearly does not look like an isolated incident and raises serious concerns about TELUS’s security and billing practices.
Charged against unused service
I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I've been charged for mobility services that I never used — the line was inactive/unused, yet the charges still appeared on my bill. I've already tried contacting TELUS support but haven't had a resolution yet. Has anyone else dealt with this situation? How did you get it sorted out? Any help is truly appreciated. I just want this corrected fairly. 🙏Can't unlock my Phone
I've bought an Iphone 4s with no Activation Lock nor is it Blacklisted. Under Carrier it shows Carrier 14.0 and refuses to take any of my Sims (I don't have a Telus one). After a quick check online it came back as beeing Locked to Telus. I tried unlocking it via their Live Assistant, which prompted me to call Telus. I tried that but couldn't get trough because I don't have an Account, nor do I want one, since I'm from Italy and Telus isn't active there. So now I'm stuck here. Can anyone help me or give me advice on how to unlock it? I know that it is an old Phone, still want it unlocked though. Thanks in advance.
Roaming charges even roaming is turned off
I was in the flight with my roaming turned off airplane mode on. I got charged by Telus for roaming! It was definitely not the case that my roaming was on and I forgot to turn it off. I suspect My Telus app on my phone uses data while you are traveling abroad and charges you for the roaming! My requests to Telus Support to clarify and remove these charges fell on deaf ears!
Overcharged Scam from Telus
What is happening? Sometimes, when we were told to join you guys then you guys say that even if we connect our credit or debit card the pre-authorization payment will be activated and the discount of $10 will be applied but now after using the Telus network for 3-4 months, now you guys tell me that card is not accepted and we should connect our bank to activate pre-authorization payment and get that discount. This is really not happening, I have recorded everything when I switched to the Telus network. I even have recorded voice call that I was with the agent when I was joining Telus Network. This is really kind of disappointing to the new customers, in any way you guys are charging me more than the amount that you promised me to charge. If this is the case then I and my partner were already happy with Fido. Sorry to say but we feel like we are scammed by Telus. This is not done guys. We are paying $20 more again. As a working and struggling in this heavy rising prices in the country how can we pay more and more everytime than the promised charge when joining the Telus network. Please fix this, this is not done.
Why won't my Galaxy S25 not charge?
My phone died and has been plugged in for 30 minutes, not a single percentage. I am using the same cord I have used since I have bought it, which has had no problems charging it before. My phone shows the white charging symbol but when i try to turn it on it immediately shuts off. Telus' very helpful virtual assistant told me to download a battery diagnosis app...which I can't because, you know, my phone is dead. The next option was to have a Telus agent call me, which again, I can't do. What are my other options? I would really prefer not having to drive 4 hours just to talk to an agent in person.
