S26 Ultra Galaxy Watch 8 Promo Email
Greetings, Just wanted to see if anyone has gotten their Galaxy Watch 8 email to claim and activate the $15/mo plan yet? I received my phone and plan went active 6 weeks ago (fine print stated 4-6 weeks eta on email) and so far nothing yet. It seems there is no way to track if the offer is still processing through my TELUS account. I am just interested in making sure there was no mix up on the back end in regards to the promo. My Galaxy Watch 4 classic is on its last legs and the Watch 8 was the big draw when I signed contract. Any update would be appreciated. Thank you
Fed up with Caller Id Spoofing
Generally changing a cell number isn't recommended if your mobility number has been used for caller Id Spoofs. However, for the past 5 months, I have been getting numerous call backs and text messages from caller id spoofing a week (sometimes several a day). Today someone threatened to report me to the police for harassing them. I have reported it to the fraud and cybercrime RCMP site. Should I just go ahead and change my mobility number? Obviously, this will be a major pain in the arse.
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!
Bad Shipping Address - Can't Get My Phone
I've been a Telus customer for over 20 years. On Nov. 22, I ordered a new phone and plan, as my old one was due to expire, and I was on the buy it back program. On Nov. 24, I received an email indicating my new phone has been shipped via FedEx and provided a tracking number. On Nov. 25, FedEx called me and said the shipping address was invalid and to call them. Over the next couple of days I spoke to FedEx three times; the shipping label Telus provided only had the city and province on it. I tried to correct the address, but FedEx was not able due to restrictions that Telus put on the shipping. I asked for FedEx to send it to one of their outlets near me and I would pick it up in person. FedEx was not able to due that due to the shipping restrictions put on it. FedEx then informed me that only Telus can fix the problem. I still don't understand why FedEx would not have contacted Telus directly to resolve the problem, instead of involving me. Since then I have called Telus five times, and they either have refused to fix their problem, or said they have submitted forms to correct the issue. Every few days go by and no updates, package still stuck at FedEx. Finally, I receive notification from FedEx that they are returning the package to Telus as undeliverable. I contacted Telus one last time and wanted them to send me a new phone. The person I spoke to finally confirmed they would do it, and submitted forms for that to happen. I was supposed to receive an email when the new order is processed and shipped. Well no email has been received, and now I will need to call Telus again to try and get my new phone. It's been almost a month now, and I am now getting a notification that if I don't return my old phone soon, I will not get credit for it under the program. I am hoping someone at Telus will respond to this that can actually solve the problem, because I'm fed up and prepared to walk away.
Mobility offer - scam or great deal?
Received a call from 888-519-0122 - said they were calling from Telus. Being polite, and having time, I was curious about the offer - asked about some kind of streaming / mobile plan bundle. Eventually landed on talking about $35 / month / line deal for mobile - unlimited talk / text CAN + US, 5G LTE, etc. I asked to be emailed the details - he said he couldn't do that (something about competitors getting the info?). Seemed a bit off. So I asked for a call back b/c I was busy. When he called back, I asked for additional verification that he was from Telus. He read account details (billing details, etc.). These were accurate. He then sent an automated "how to sign up for an e-sim" email that was also legit. When I call back the number, it goes to a Telus automated menu. However, when googling the number, I came across these two conflicting posts with Telus: Post 1: It IS a legitimate number (https://forum.telus.com/discussions/mobile_devices/is-this-a-scam/171441) Post 2: It is NOT a legitimate number (https://forum.telus.com/discussions/mobile_devices/verify-telus-number/174523) Anyway - I read somewhere that you can ask the rep to post a comment on your Telus account that you can then login to see. He said he didn't know how. So I said that if he can figure that out, I'm interested. If not, sorry. So - am I too paranoid or appropriately cautious?
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.
