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?
Overcharged Scam from Telus
What is happening? Sometimes, when we were told to join you guys then you guys say that even if we connect our credit or debit card the pre-authorization payment will be activated and the discount of $10 will be applied but now after using the Telus network for 3-4 months, now you guys tell me that card is not accepted and we should connect our bank to activate pre-authorization payment and get that discount. This is really not happening, I have recorded everything when I switched to the Telus network. I even have recorded voice call that I was with the agent when I was joining Telus Network. This is really kind of disappointing to the new customers, in any way you guys are charging me more than the amount that you promised me to charge. If this is the case then I and my partner were already happy with Fido. Sorry to say but we feel like we are scammed by Telus. This is not done guys. We are paying $20 more again. As a working and struggling in this heavy rising prices in the country how can we pay more and more everytime than the promised charge when joining the Telus network. Please fix this, this is not done.
Billing Issues
We know Telus's customer getting worse on the contrary of the increase of the internet and home security service charge. Telus increased more than $6 on the internet service charge and the Home security service although we are not using the Home security service at all. Telus removed the 6 month $5 discount on the internet bundle. Last time the Telus teller asked me to call again to get the temporary prmotional discount after 6 month. I talked a tell, but she was saying she can't give the discount. Also the Home security contact was 36 month, but Telus changed the contract to 24 month and increased the charge upto $3 more without my agreement. I am really moving to Rogers at the end of this contract. So I started to change my email account to Google. My request ;1. additional 6 month $5 discount on the internet service 2. Restore my Home security contract to the original contract. Also the customer service connectivity is so bad.
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?Bill Dispute Form Not Working
When calling in for business mobility support to dispute $1200 in erroneous charges I am only able to receive a texted form, and AI bot told me I could not speak to human. Well the form doesn’t work! The error states, “We’re having trouble creating a support request at the moment. Please try again later.” And yes, I did try later and received same response. Is there a direct phone number for a human?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.Billing Issues
I ended my Telus services and account last June. But I received an email from a debt collections agency that I owe an outstanding charge on my account. I never received a bill from Telus with the amount the debt collection agency stated, and I payed the last bill I had from Telus in full before the account was canceled. If there was an actual charge left outstanding on my account why was I not notified? and if not, why did I get sent to a debt collections agency if I did not have an outstanding charge? I am very disappointed in the service quality of Telus, I shouldn't have my canceled account information sent to a collections agency without my notice of a bill.
