Busuu Subscription?? What is that?
This situation reflects very poorly on TELUS and its billing/security systems. I was charged for Busuu/Google Play services on my TELUS bill even though I have never downloaded the app, never subscribed to it, and had never even heard of it before this charge appeared. I checked my Google Play account, subscriptions, installed apps, and payment history; there is absolutely no record of Busuu anywhere. What made this even more frustrating was TELUS customer service refusing to take responsibility and pushing me to contact Busuu instead, despite the charges appearing directly on my TELUS bill. If TELUS allows third-party companies to bill customers through their accounts, then TELUS should also be responsible for properly verifying and securing those charges. After looking online, I found multiple TELUS customers reporting the exact same issue involving unauthorized Google Play charges. This clearly does not look like an isolated incident and raises serious concerns about TELUS’s security and billing practices.
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!
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. 🙏
Roaming charges even roaming is turned off
I was in the flight with my roaming turned off airplane mode on. I got charged by Telus for roaming! It was definitely not the case that my roaming was on and I forgot to turn it off. I suspect My Telus app on my phone uses data while you are traveling abroad and charges you for the roaming! My requests to Telus Support to clarify and remove these charges fell on deaf ears!
Possible scam?
Hello, I recieved a call from 1-844-368-7379 regarding a special offer since I just signed up on home services my account being installed on April 1, 2026. The offer they offered was my home internet would go down to $50/mo with $150 bill credit from $68/mo if I switch my 2 phones lines from Rogers. The offer for mobile was $35/mo each for 2 lines so $70/mo with 100gb date each line. Just wondering how can we verify this was a legit caller and offer?
Possible Scam call + emails after ordering phone online?
was marked as probable scam The number was 579 880 8822 The email was :[email protected] It all seemed really sketchy and if this is legitimate they were not good at their jobs. After i hunt up on the second guy after getting paranoid again he left a voice message affirming it wasnt a scam after 4 callback attempts

Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that some browser-based word puzzles don’t always load consistently when switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data. For example, while trying an unlimited spelling game mode during short breaks, the page sometimes refreshes or drops progress on mobile. Is this usually related to network optimization, caching, or browser handling on carrier networks? I’m also curious if similar issues can affect other lightweight, interactive sites and what settings might help improve stability.
