Service interruption, billing for unusable service, failure to provide support access
Device repeatedly (for over a year+) displays “Not registered on network” despite showing full signal bars. During these periods, I was unable to make or receive calls, send texts, or use mobile data. In some instances, service degraded to “Emergency calls only.” Persisted after extensive troubleshooting, including: Device restarts, SIM removal /reinsertion / replacement, Network resets, Occurred despite TELUS denying any outage. I was unable to access customer support through my TELUS service during the outage and TELUS was unable to call me (calls would drop or go right to voicemail). Using TELUS chat their representatives repeatedly instructed me to perform device-level troubleshooting, despite clear evidence the issue was network-related. Despite these failures, TELUS continues to bill me for full service. I am being charged for a service that was not reliably provided. TELUS denied outages while service was demonstrably unavailable. Multiple devices were affected, indicating a systemic network failure. No proactive credits or meaningful resolution were offered. This goes beyond intermittent signal issues and represents a failure to provide reasonable access to essential mobile services. Contacted a lawyer for help and since this is a known issue with Telus, they advised to file complaint with Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services; they have an online complaint form for consumers with telecom complaints.
Asurion mobile phone insurance
It’s basically a scam. I have been trying to get my iPhone 17 screen repaired for weeks. It is impossible to reach a real person. The repair shop won’t do repairs during a sale, when they are understaffed, or don’t have a ticket from Asurion. Trying to reach someone at Asurion to get them to send the ticket to the shop (I filled out form online) is impossible. Clearly they hope I’ll abandon my claim. You are much better off getting Apple Care. At least they actually do the job and you can walk off the street. Also, Asurion claims repairs in 2 hours! If you actually manage to get the repair shop to accept your phone, it will take one day at a minimum. Exceptionally poor service! How much does Telus make on this “deal”?TELUS Mobility Vacation Suspension

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.
Return 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.Mobility 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 you
You wont believe how long it takes me to give someone their number back.....
I have a business mobility account. As a company perk, we pay for employees' phone plans - we do this by bringing them into our business mobility account. When an employee leaves, they need their number back to go on their new endevours. It takes me 1 hour to an hour and a half of being on hold with the BUSINESS care line. When I call the 1-866-848-3587 or *611, a robot answers me, and I tell it "I want to give consent to a transfer of ownership," then it texts me a link to do so online. Except, the link given is not suitable for my needs. I need a Consent to Transfer of Ownership for Business to Consumer line. The link provided is for Business to Business. I call again, the robot and I do loops, a dance of words, I'm frustrated. It takes ages to even be on hold to reach a person, and I need to be redirected. I'm given the wrong number, the robot asks me for a 5 digit store code I don't have. Please solve this issue or direct me somewhere I can email, or a form I can fill - anything. I've tried emailing [email protected] with no response. Please save me from having to listen to endless elevator music for the 3rd hour.
