MyTelus App access issue after account cancellation; collection agency contacted despite fee miscommunication
I had Telus mob. account <Admin edit: removed personal info. Please see house rules.> with 2-year cont. In May 25 and prior to end of term (June 2025), I requested cancelling the account, keep phone and transfer number to a regular Telus mobility. We were told by Rep at Telus Wireless City Calgary that we would be contacted for remaining fee of 300 Canadian Dollars as we decided to keep phone. I tried to access account via "MyTelus App" and every time a message that account linked to email and log in credentials was cancelled and no access. Not even given account number to use in communications. I called Customer Service and every time I call to check, Telus Rep came back with answer that they could not see any outstanding fees on any of accounts. I kept checking and all of a sudden, I received a call from collection agency. I requested details from agency, and they provided Telus account details related to case. I phoned Telus back and filed several complaints and escalated issue several times to Escalation Team. Hours of phone calls, I tried to explain to them that previous Telus reps miss-communication and misleading info and also me having no access anymore to the account via MyTelus App led to this issue. I didn't receive any mail/communication from Telus to my address or email linked to MyTelus account informing me with outstanding amount. After escalation team filed a request form to Payment Depart, request was denied and reason was that Telus sent me a message at time I cancelled the account, which was received. By the way we were informed by the Telus Rep at time of cancelling account that a message was going to be sent and we received it, but no info on account billing. However, they totally ignored issues listed above, which were initiated by their system and reps and led to me being penalized for their mistakes and chaos. In Feb 26, escalation team directed me to Payment Department and pay was done after much hassle and surprisingly after a month I figured that Telus didn't send payment notification to collection agency creating issues and problems. I need Telus to cancel case with collection.
Unable to change my Mobility to Prepaid from outside Canada
I had to leave the country in late 2025, and I ended up needing to keep my Canadian Phone Number active for personal reasons. I have been trying to contact Telus about having my mobility changed to prepaid so I don’t have to pay such exorbitant prices each month, but they haven’t been responding. The few times I manage to get a customer service person on call, they just keep shifting me across departments for hours on end. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
Cant add a phone line
I was trying to get a phone line but when I proceed and add it to my cart it keeps saying that the phone Im trying to get is from a different region and tells me to change regions and try again. I switched regions but the problem still persists. Tested it out on other phones and still tells me to change regions.
Bill Dispute Form Not Working
When calling in for business mobility support to dispute $1200 in erroneous charges I am only able to receive a texted form, and AI bot told me I could not speak to human. Well the form doesn’t work! The error states, “We’re having trouble creating a support request at the moment. Please try again later.” And yes, I did try later and received same response. Is there a direct phone number for a human?
Satellite connectivity features on S26 Ultra?
Hello, First time posting here, I have pre ordered the S26 Ultra and have read that it is fully capable of using satellite communications/connectivity. Does Telus support this feature? I recently read that Telus had partnered with a company and had successfully completed a trial run. Wondering if this is in fact available and if not when it will be. ThanksUnauthorized Google Play Charges on Watch Account
I have received google play charges for a transaction on my Telus watch account. I have not done this transaction. There is no history of any such transaction on the google play account nor is there any active or inactive subscription to support this transaction. Basically this transaction does not exist. Telus customer care directed me to Google to ask for a refund. Google support page Https://payments.google.com/payments/u/0/unauthorizedtransactions requires a correlation id to dispute such transactions that do no appear in history. Their page clearly states carrier will provide this id and that this is a required field for raising such a dispute. Telus is now shying away form their responsibility and nopt providing me this correlation id. When the seller (Google Play) shows no transaction and the buyer (myself) says there is no transaction how can the middleman the payment gateway (Telus ) charge me for any thing. If they do, they need to provide a proof of the incident in correlation id. It is impossible that they do not have this Id. Online forums show this is not an isolated incident and hundreds of other customers have reported such fraudulent charges on their watch account. In each case they have demanded the correlation id. Here is the catch many customers have stated that customer care has provide this correlation id to them. So Telus indeed has this id but the customer care agents are too lazy to search for it or have no knowledge that such a thing exists. Telus is looting its customers with fraudulent charges and refuses to do anything about it.
Google Play Charges to my Telus Bill
Hello, I got a Google Pixel 3 watch when I renewed my mobility contract back in March 2025. In June 2025 I started getting random Google Play charges added to my Telus bill, apparently through my watch 'phone number'. I have never setup Google payments through Mobile Carriers on my Google account, transactions are always through my bank. I checked my Google transaction history, my payments and subscriptions, payment methods etc and these transations do not show up ANYWHERE! When I first contacted Telus they told me they could not tell which vendors the charges were from, but they were able to provide a corrolation ID for each purchase. I submitted a Unauthorized Charge Claim to Google and they came back with the automated message: 'After reviewing your claim, we were unable to confirm fraudulent activity in this case, so no refund will be provided by Google at this time. If you would like to pursue the matter further, you can reach out to your financial institution.' The problem with that response is, my bank can't help because these charges weren't through my bank. I then contacted Telus again via phone, and this time they were able to tell me the charges were for Snapchat, and Audible (I don't purchase anything through either of these apps). I asked for the corrolation ID's for the newer charges and the woman said she couldn't provide them. Yet when I contacted them again through live chat they were able to provide the IDs. I then submitted another claim and received the same response. To reiterate, these charges have not appeared anywhere else across my accounts; Google, Snapchat, Audible etc, they only show up on my Telus bills! I do not have Mobile Carrier set up as a payment method! The charges are now up to $32.15. I don't know what else I can do so I am hoping to see if anyone else has had a similar situation. Thanks for reading!
