Telus website, app, and chat are garbage
Wow, where do i start? The website has a linking problem between the Mobility/Manage/Pre-Auth function and the next page that should launch. I tried using the app and it just open the webpage. I told the chatbot this and it was dumber than a sack of hammers, including NOT EVEN KNOWING WHAT THE PROPER TELUS DOMAIN IS. After nearly an hour of trying to work with the chatbot i phoned in, navigated the complete trash phone support system and got a human. The human fixed the situation in 10 minutes flat. Telus - why don't you spend more time and money on your website and automated support instead of phoning me every day trying to get me to buy more of your services. 0/10
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.
Bring-it-Back Issues
Bring it back is an extreme scam of a system. There’s no notifications about it ending, there’s no notice or flag for it ending nothing. We realized that our Bring it Back contract ended last month and tried to get a new phone today (17 days past) to be told we are past the 30 days. The charge hasn’t been added to the account yet but will appear next bill. Only option was to “trade in the phone for less then the owe amount and lose about $100” Customer service is a joke, this service is a scam.
