Business Connect account setup incomplete—no access after one week
I am submitting this formal complaint regarding TELUS’s failure to properly set up and provide access to my business account services. I opened a TELUS business account for my mobility lines about three months ago. More than a week ago, I contacted TELUS to add a new Business Connect line. Although the setup was started over the phone, I never received the required account access information. I was not given login details, I was unable to create a username, and I still cannot access or use my Business Connect account. I followed up with the same representative who had previously helped me open my mobility account. I explained that the service had supposedly already been set up, yet I had received no access information and no working account. I was then told that the process had been started by more than one representative, which left the account creation incomplete. I was assured the issue would be resolved last week, but it remains unresolved. This reflects a serious failure in TELUS’s onboarding and customer service process. I entered into this agreement with the expectation that TELUS would activate the requested service and provide the necessary account access within a reasonable timeframe. That has not happened. As a result, I have experienced unnecessary delays, wasted time, and frustration. It is unacceptable that an existing business customer cannot obtain access to a service TELUS agreed to provide. I am requesting immediate resolution of my Business Connect account setup, delivery of all required access information, written confirmation that the account has been fully activated, and review of this matter by an escalation or management team. If this issue is not resolved promptly, I am prepared to escalate the matter through the appropriate complaint channels, including the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services. I request a prompt response and a concrete resolution.
Fiber issues and business down
We have changed a firewall and spent 2 days with Telus to get it operational. We were working than a few hours later go offline. Was told it was resolved last night. Today we are down again, no internet, emails, business connect voip phones etc. Called telus support and they advise it is a hardware issue at their end and a tech can get to it Tuesday. Is this common and what restitution is there when I have to shut my office down for two work days to wait for a tech to fix their issue?Business phone over fibre not working - need re-programming help!
Hi, I'm hoping a community manager sees this and can help me out. My business uses Telus over fibre for our business phone. It has not been working all day (both incoming and outgoing) and when I called tech support they told me that from their end, it also shows the line is not working and that the programming is completely missing. I asked them if they could please reset the programming but the tech support said they are unable to do it from their end and need someone from the back end to do it. Unfortunately they cannot give me an ETA on how long this will take but said it's typical to take up to 24 hours. Can a community manager please help me escalate this issue? It is severely impacting my business especially it being the end of year which is my busiest time, I have a case number if that helps. Thank you!
Business Line Support Process Frustrations
I've seen through the forums that many of us have the same problem. 1 - We experience an issue with our telus business line so we go to the technical support page. We spend time to explain our problem and then submit the ticket, we then experience the first problem. It also wipes our forms so if we didn't save our information, we lose it all. 2 - We go to the chat to explain our problem to the AI. The AI is confused and doesn't understand the issue, when we also explain that the problem is we can't log a support ticket. It gets more confused. 3 - We finally admit to ourselves we have to call the Telus Business Support Line. We experience the AI problem again, in circles it goes - if it mishears you - it goes on a tangent about changing plans. You need to call back, speak with purpose and when it understands you need technical support - it begins its troubleshooting. NOW thats a nightmare. Especially if you're a engineer. 4 - The final boss. You get put into the Telus support queue finally. The IVR then lets you know, there is over an hour to wait. No option for callbacks, just wait and then sprinkled within the IVR is letting you know about upgrades. If I knew this was the level of support I would be getting on a business line. I would have just opted for a consumer line, I truly regret the decision to move to Telus 3 years ago and when the contract comes up for renewal - I'll be moving unless something changes.Last attempt before legal action
I have been a loyal TELUS customer since before the brand existed. Over the years, I watched TELUS grow into a leader in Canadian telecom. Unfortunately, my recent experiences as both a customer and property owner of Redwater Site #1210 have declined to the point that they require public attention. Several years ago, I was the victim of TELUS Mobility fraud. I ordered one phone but was sent three. I returned two immediately, yet was billed for all three and later charged for plans tied to those devices once activated elsewhere. While travelling, the one phone I kept was abruptly shut down by TELUS’s fraud unit, leaving me stranded and forced to buy a replacement. Since then, I have spent more than two years pursuing a refund and resolution. I have endured broken promises, managers who never called back, being yelled at, falsely accused, hung up on, and misled about U.S. coverage. Escalations produced no results. I continue to face charges for services I never used, including U.S. roaming fees. I repeatedly asked for a mobility plan that covered Canada and the U.S., but this was never provided. Adding to this, I am entitled under my tower agreement to four complimentary phones of my choice every two years. Despite repeated written and verbal requests, I have received none. As a matter of professional courtesy — corporation to corporation — I ask TELUS executive leadership: What do you advise if my requests for resolution, contract fulfillment, and fair compensation continue to be ignored? I will gladly send proof of Telus's internal fraud, bills and communications with Telus for the last 2.5 years to anyone that will listen and take action. My only goal is fair treatment, accountability, and the service TELUS claims to provide its customers. I look forward to your prompt response. Brian Lasner, MD
Customer 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.
