Control Panel Lithium Battery Bulging!
When the overheating occurred yesterday and the control panel went offline including the radio at the same time; Telus did not call to inform me of this critical failure. It was only today (approximately 24 hours later) that I received a push notification that something was wrong but still no phone call alerting me that the system was completely offline for an extended period. The panel is cool to the touch and after keeping it unplugged for sometime and then plugging it back in, it will no longer power back on. This is the third incident in a short period that made me question the reliability of the Smart Home platform. I called support and expressed that I would like to cancel citing these lapses in security and was told I would have to pay a $700 cancellation fee. I asked about fixing the control panel instead, and was told that there’d be a $200 fee just to come out plus whatever the cost of fixing/replacing the panel happened to be. I was placed on a long hold and the call disconnected. Later I inspected the control panel; the large backup blue lithium battery had bulged so significantly that it bowed the white backplate of the control panel! It’s now buried in a foot of sand in a bucket in the backyard. I’m taking it to an e-waste facility for proper disposal tomorrow. Now my choices are pay $200 plus whatever the cost is of a new panel that is apparently predisposed itself to be the cause of a house fire or cancel and be out $700 but still have a home.
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.
Unauthorized 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.
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?Home Security renewed without agreeing to new terms.
Hello, My Telus home security was up for renewal and I was given a code on my bill to renew. I received an email with nothing except “your order is complete” and now I’m supposedly locked into a contract with a higher price and agreement. I was never given the opportunity to review the new price or new agreement. Nothing was sent to me.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!
Can my calls since April 2025 be reviewed ????
I have already spoke to loyalty department with no result and they said there is no where for me to elevate my concern. Moved in May 2025, was told to leave all My equipment at the old house the same as my house before….Called for the new installation for September 30th. Was going to let my contract just run out expiring in May 2026. Upon installation, was charged again for all equipment I had owned previously to the new location and was also renewed into a 3 year contract without my knowledge. Called but they said that I was advised of all this. My calls should be recorded. Why would I renew my contract another 3 years? I think maybe the call agents have sales targets. My last call with Elvis Calanche on Dec9th reassured me I could cancel on May 2026. Then this week my bill went up another $11.00 and apparently I was signed up by Elvis for Telus online security add on so I called in today and Christine cancelled this but then also advised me I’m in contract till September 2028 also asked her if my bill would go down by returning uninstalled equipment the tech left behind and she said because I have an unauthorized discount that she said my bill might go up. She also said. I’m lucky that my bill is low! Feeling very lost and confused with Telus. I only wanted to move my existing contract to another property and the representative signed me up on a new contract???? Why??Now I am stuck.Renewed contract without consent
I have a Telus security contract 21832413 that was $32.00 a month renewing in May 2026, when I moved they said I could transfer to another address with no cost. I had it installed and then I was charged over $200 for installation then my bill went up to $42.00 a month. When I called in, I noticed my contract had been extended and renewed without my knowledge and my bill was now $42.00 a month . I called and spoke to loyalty department and Elvis Calanche said not to worry I could still cancel in May of 2026 but my bill went up by $10 a month due to added equipment. No additional equipment was added that I didn’t have at my large home from before. Then he said there’s nothing more I can do. I hung up and he emailed me both contracts. Now my newest bill is showing $52.00 a month and someone from Telus was searching my profile on LinkedIn. I want help on this matter. I feel like I have been taken advantage off and a prisoner to a contract I didn’t renew.
Very Unclear Service
I had a horrible experience with the Telus. I had a 2 years contract with telus from Jan1st 2024 so it will be expiring on 31st Dec 2025. On 1st Jan 2025—when I moved into my current address, I upgraded my wifi speed from 1gb to 3gb. THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM HAPPENS. A staff who came to install the wifi said I’m elgible for Home Security System (a little camera) with no EXTRA charges. He said it will be available as a free offer till the end of my contract. I declined the offer since I didn’t need it but he insisted me to take the camera because it was a free offer. Later, they shipped a camera to my address. I checked what it was and put it back in their box. I didn’t use their so called home security system. Now, I’m going to move out from the current address and contacted to Telus to cancle all my services since the contract is ending on Dec 31st. And they said there is a cancellation fees for Home Security System and the service is from Dec 2024 - Dec 2027. For 3 years? I didn’t even ordered their home security service and they made a contract for 3 years. I was so confused because I only accepted it because a Telus staff said it was a part of my wifi plan and it was free till the end of my 2 years contract. I contacted to Home Security Department and they said I had to pay. That doesn’t even make sense. Now I have to pay something I didn’t even use it at all. I’m not going to pay for it and I need actions from Telus asap. Telus need to come clear with their complicated offers and train their staffs to make valid offers.
