poor customer service
17 TopicsHow to unlock an iphone 6s
I have an iphone 6s that is ancient. Was a customer of Telus for over 40 years, until today. I inserted the sim card from the new carrier and to my surprise the long paid for (8 years) phone is locked to Telus. Soooo I tried to chat and all I got was bots and then I was informed Telus was closed for the day. Then I called our local store ... answering machine saying leave a message as no one answers the phone there ... so now over the phone and it is over an hour wait or longer. Meantime this ancient phone is unable to be activated on my new service and is without service. Our service is paid up until Dec 6th ... ported the numbers and within 5 minutes account closed without verifying that all phones were unlocked. Help !! happy to be moving on !4.3KViews0likes3CommentsTried Explaining My Issue and Agent Rudely Responded, "Are you done?"
Note: it seems Telus was able to change the terms of our service agreement without informing me, so please check your bills every so often to make sure it's all correct! I spoke with a guy called Julius or Julio today, from the customer retention department. I was transferred to him after I spoke with a lady from the billing department about Telus removing a 2 year discount of $15 from my bill without notifying me. She told me Julius will be able to help me add the discount back, but only for 6 months. Julius started the call by telling me he can apply a 6 month $15 discount to try to correct the fact that Telus removed this 2 year discount without any notice. I then asked if it was possible to remove Wifi Plus ($10/m charge) and keep the equipment, and he said yes. I asked are you sure because the lady said it's not possible, that I will have to return all equipment, and he just simply said "just wait on the line". After 30s he told me he's removing the Wifi Plus now and will transfer me to the Tech department so they can walk me through what equipment to return. I then tried to explain why I called today -- to summarize: I signed up for 1GB internet, but after the initial set up I was getting 100-200mb, which was confirmed on a tech call. Tech support told me they will send someone over to fix the issue because it's clear to them the initial set up was not done correctly, since I was getting nowhere near 1GB. This took 2 weeks. Technician came and fixed the internet, but now I'm charged a monthly $10/m for Wifi Plus. I called Tech support to ask, and they said the previous agent applied a 3 month credit worth $7.50 though. I asked if I can cancel it since it's not what I wanted, I just wanted the promised 1GB internet and they said no, but the can give me a 2 year $15 credit to offset all the troubles. I received a new service agreement with the 2 year credit Feb 2024. $15 credit was applied for 1 month for March, and then for April's bill I noticed the $15 was missing. Called in today to ask about the charge, and I was told in the backend they can see the discount was removed internally but they cannot bring the discount back. After I explained all of this, Julius rudely said "Are you done?" like you would ask someone after they were throwing a tantrum. I was shocked and just responded with "wow, 'are you done?'", in which he quickly tried to explain with "no what I meant was are you done speaking because I don't want to cut you off.... he then proceeds to try to explain out of that one, and then I just told him please apply the $15 6 month credit and keep Wifi Plus because I do not want to return any equipment if that will drop by internet back to 100-200mbps. He then placed me on a hold for another 20-30mins and when he returned he told me I can keep the equipment and he already cancelled my Wifi Plus. I asked him if I will get a new service agreement or if my April bill will get updated, to which he said no, and I will just get a new bill in May. Overall pretty disappointed in my experience with Telus. I had to call in several times, have the technician come twice, and got charged for additional services just to get the promised 1GB internet. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and I was getting 100-200 speed 2-3 meters from the modem. All I wanted from today's call was to keep my $15 discount, but now I'm left with no discount and they cancelled my Wifi Plus with no proof of any of these changes and the promise tha I wont have to return the equipment. I had expressed to Julius again and again that I would like to get the $15 discount even if it was only for 6 months, and he just went ahead and cancelled my service without the discount.Solved3.6KViews0likes3CommentsOptik not recording
Over the past week my wife tried recording a number of shows and they ended up not getting recorded. Today I had a live show (Can v USA final game) programmed to record. I checked it 2 hours and double checked it one hour before it was to start. We also tried to record the Pregame and the Behind The Scenes for 4 Nations tournament. We checked shortly after the recording was supposed to start and nothing was recorded and the live game was not recording. Can they fix this issue? Is it better to just cancel the service and go to Rogers/Shaw? And the fact they don't have live support proves they don't care about Customer Service. Very disgusted with this company.3.2KViews2likes14CommentsPlans Expiring and no communication
I have been a Telus customer since 2019. My monthly bill was $103 My plan expired and Telus raised the bill to $189 and did not think to inform me by email or by phone. I think that is some pretty shady customer service for a long time client. I am currently on hold for 54 minutes so far, and will be voicing my concerns of the customer support offered. Why do you not care about existing customers and only care about new ones?2.7KViews0likes2CommentsPoorest customer service
Does Telus has any customer service. I have been on hold repeatedly for hours as they keep telling me that it is not the right dept even when their own people transfer me around. I had ADT security for over 20+ years which is now with Telus. We bought a new home and made the unfortunate decision of getting home security from Telus last month. It has been a horror show since then including my account log in is messed up, my cell phone account has disappeared and to top it all they have a bill for me to pay for over 1k where it should be only $50. Nobody cares and keep telling me that someone will call you. I have no idea what to do about them as they are just ghosting me. Anyone knows who to reach out to as it is become a mental harassment case now.1.1KViews2likes1CommentHow to file a formal complaint!
In July of 2024 I tried to set up services at our new home but because the house had not sold we wanted to leave the security system until it sold. Low and behold the house sold 5 days after going on the market. We called Telus to inform them we need to cancel the services at old address but still wanted the services moved to the new address. Install comes and everything is great. 2 weeks after the install the Internet stops working we call and they said they had disconnect the wrong address. Ok fine. We get our first bill since the move. 2 internet charges, 2 tv services charges and 1 security charge. We call again they tell us they will escalate it to the back end as this is something they need to fix. Issue a 50 dollar credit which didn’t even cover the cost of the double charges. Sept roles around and our bill is almost double. We call again. Again told they will escalate it and call us back within 24hours. Never received a call back. So we call again. Told the same thing. It needs to be escalated to the back end issue another 50 dollar credit. October meet with the same **bleep** thing. Double billed another phone call sale excuses and another credit. Still 2 internet services, 2 tv services and 1 security. November rolls around same **bleep** thing. At this point we are beyond frustrated because again our internet stops working. Well this time the back end cancels the VPN. We finally speak to someone from upper management they look at the account and say this is complete mess. We will credit you back 3 months of services and make sure this is fixed for good. Well here we are in Dec and low and behold we are STILL being charged for 2 internet, 2 tv services and security difference this month is we where actually charged a cancellation and connection fee. Our internet bill went up by 40 dollars a month. We are at our wits end. We have called numerous times since August and there have been ZERO rectifications on anything. We have all our home services and 3 cell phones with Telus. Long standing customers and completely being screwed over and no one seems to want to fix it. This is the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE we have ever had to deal with. We don’t even know what to do next except cancel all services including cell phones as we want nothing to do with Telus any longer1KViews1like1CommentOngoing Issues with Phone Order, Defective Device, and Customer Service
This is a long one because the situation has gone past frustrating and entered "ludicrously bad service" territory. Where to start? *Ordered a new phone early December online (first mistake, their webstore is AWFUL) *Couldn't order the case I wanted, and had to settle for one I didn't like *Took weeks to ship *Couldn't get the email with a label to send the old phone back when I did finally get it *4 hours on the phone to deal with it *Finally send back the phone after talking to multiple people *Am given a lame $50 credit for my trouble (I had to miss work because of this) *First day with the new phone, camera is defective *Call Telus, it course nobody can help me except the webstore, who doesn't answer their phone and takes days to respond to emails *Finally get to talk to someone, they apparently request a mailer with the new phone inside and a label to return the defective one *That was January 7th and have heard nothing since *Used chat to ask about the order today, was told "oh yeah I can't help you, I'll call you and transfer you to the webstore" *Had to explain multiple times what the issue was to this person *Sit on hold with the webstore for an hour *They disconnect me So I got $50 and a broken phone for my HOURS of time spent with these incompetent reps, nobody can give me any answers, nobody responds to messages or emails. Can someone st Telus tell me why exactly I should continue to be a customer? Because I have never been treated so poorly by a company in my life and has soured me so much on Telus that after this term I will probably never buy services from them again, and I have been a Telus customer in some capacity for over 20 years. Totally disgusted, frankly.985Views0likes3CommentsTerrible experience / customer service with 3 different stores …
I am currently with Telus (home internet and mobile). My mobile contract ended and I decided to get a new plan and a new phone for Black Friday this week. I went to three different stores and talked to three different employees and they all gave me different prices…. They all said the same thing that they were giving me the best deal that they could, and they’re here to help me. The plans they offered me were either the same price or higher than what I am paying now. When I go into the Telus website and look at plans, they go from ~$60, The plans I was getting offered (the same plans mentioned above) to me were $75 and higher. Not once did they offer me the cheaper plans until I pointed it out. I was trying to get my partner on a family plan to save a bit of money as well and some of the salesman told me it wouldn’t save any money and that I couldn’t do it and some of them said I could do it, but it wouldn’t be worth it, very confusing… also I never agreed to any of the plans that they offered, but I just looked at my Telus account and it says that my order has been approved and my new phone is on the way with the new plan. I’ve tried to call Telus and get a call back because nobody is answering me and I’ve been waiting for the last two days on a call back. I’ve been with Telus for a while and I think it’s time for me to change to a different provider.935Views0likes1CommentCustomer Service....
January 15th 2025 - I got a quote from our sales specialist to start up a business account, along with mobility, security, WIFI, and cable... I told her at around 2-3pm that I'd discuss with my husband, and by 6-7pm she was calling me asking me if it was approved, which seemed a little weird but anyways, we did go ahead and approve it. I sent in the requested information, and a few days later received 1 out of 2 phones, so I inquired with our sales specialist, and she mentioned that there was something going on with my account and that she'd get back to me... one day later, I followed up... she said I'd hear back in a day or two.... I followed up a few days later. Then, to my surprise she stopped answering emails, so I tried calling, and I didn't get through so finally I called in to TELUS directly and they let me know that only my sales specialist could help, great... nothing was happening there. I followed up on Feb 1st with no answer. I finally got a response today ( Feb 2 2025) after following up again , after adding to my email that I can just cancel if this isn't going to work out and surprise surprise I got a call... He told me I needed to have some patience and just wait, which is frustrating to hear after waiting over 2 weeks since the beginning of this transaction. I still have no second phone, no internet and cable.910Views0likes2CommentsTELUS Security decals and lawn signs
Is there anyone have the same kind of service problem? I started My SmartHome security plan in August, After installation of the devices, I found that the technician did not leave security decals and lawn signs. I tried many times to call back to the customer service to get those windows stickers and lawn sign. Customer service told me over the phone that they can send those things back to my house but never receive anything. It's so disappointment. And it's a very annoying process to get someone (real person!) to respond. There's no online chat nor direct email contact that can reach Telus. Or am I too stupid to get help using ways other than phone calls (it's really frustrating to wait long time for someone to pick up the phone)?Solved799Views0likes3Comments
