On January 27th I received a promotional email from Telus for more data on a 5G postpaid plan, and a Pixel 10 on a 2 year payment plan. On January 31st I called Telus to inquire about whether I qualified or was eligible for the promotion and I was told yes I was. So while on the phone with that same person we began switching my provider to Telus. 4 days later after having been through the following (1) No cell service for over 3 days, and needing to find alternatives to legal and personal texts. (2) No follow up email after getting disconnected during the set up call. (3) Still not able to receive emails from Telus at either my Protonmail or Gmail, and talking to technical support about it yielding no solution. (4) Being told to wait longer for service when that wasn't the issue at all. It was an Esim issue on Telus's end. (5) Hours spent on the phone. Needing someone to babysit my 1 year old so I can get service. I understand that is not all Telus's fault, but when I just so happened to off-handedly mention my rate to a representative two days ago (because I can't seem to yet register for MyTelus), I was told I was paying more than the promotion indicated, and man that draws the line. I'm livid. After all of that and a week later, I get told that the promotion only lasted 1 day and now I don't qualify. The only reason I went through all that was because Telus sent me an email, I didn't go looking for some better deal, and I asked explicitly multiple times on the first call whether I qualified, and I was told yes. I even reiterated details of the deal. That's the only reason I switched. To experience this kind of dishonesty and deception and lack of integrity.. I don't know if I've ever been so angry and mistrusting of a business before. I don't even understand why pay a marketing department to piss people off. The whole point is to attract me as a customer with that deal. I'm baffled as much as I am upset. This is unacceptable.13Views0likes1CommentTechnician Issue
Had a technician visit 2 weeks ago for home services and he sold me on a great sounding mobility plan, when i switched from Bell EPP. I asked explicitly if I could use my Apple Watch with this contract and if this counts towards a discount for my home services. Turns out now there is no way of using the plan with my Apple Watch, it doesn’t count towards a discount on the home service, only mentioned the $60 connection fee after already transferring the number, a rep on the phone told me that I could have signed up for an unlimited plan for less, in the end I’m basically now paying more for less and I’m screwed on the Apple Watch connection. However phone reps are not letting me out of the contract or let me change it. Good reminder to never let a rep or tech let you sell something you haven’t read the fine print on … 1 month in and already can’t wait to switch away from Telus. Anonymous, if you let techs sell stuff please make sure they actually know what their selling …2.6KViews0likes1CommentAsurion mobile phone insurance
It’s basically a scam. I have been trying to get my iPhone 17 screen repaired for weeks. It is impossible to reach a real person. The repair shop won’t do repairs during a sale, when they are understaffed, or don’t have a ticket from Asurion. Trying to reach someone at Asurion to get them to send the ticket to the shop (I filled out form online) is impossible. Clearly they hope I’ll abandon my claim. You are much better off getting Apple Care. At least they actually do the job and you can walk off the street. Also, Asurion claims repairs in 2 hours! If you actually manage to get the repair shop to accept your phone, it will take one day at a minimum. Exceptionally poor service! How much does Telus make on this “deal”?39Views0likes1CommentMobility Offer Issue
I’m posting this to see whether others have had similar experiences and to highlight what feels like a clear bait and switch or, at best, serious internal incompetence. My TELUS services were up for renewal. Over several weeks, I received multiple calls from offshore representatives. While I respect offshore support teams. Later in November 2025 a call from Patrick He offered the following in writing, dated November 28, 2025: CAN–US–MEX Unlimited 100GB shareable 4 mobile lines at $30 per line iPhone 17s at $10 per phone Two TELUS/Bell fibre internet connections at $75 We agreed to proceed.Shortly after, the internet contract arrived and it was wrong. We requested corrections repeatedly. None came. Despite emails prompting us to “connect services,” we never received finalized contracts for mobile or internet.After requesting escalation, we were later told by another agent that the offer was “fraudulent” and that Patrick was a fraudster. Here’s where it gets absurd: someone else in my office accepted the same offer and received four Nubia Flip 2 phones (~$800 each) with TELUS SIM cards. If the offer was fraudulent, how did TELUS ship real hardware through their own systems? After two months, 50+ emails, and countless calls, another rep confirmed Patrick was a TELUS employee. The final response reframed the issue as if I were asking for a competitor price match—which I was not. I simply expect TELUS to honor a written offer made by their own representative. Has anyone else experienced written offers later denied, reps disowned, or deals reframed as “price matching” after the fact? I’m still open to resolving this reasonably—but honoring a written agreement should not be controversial.Thank you62Views0likes1CommentPossible 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 attempts150Views0likes5CommentsPossible Scam
I foolishly called the number (1-844-368-7379 ) left in a voicemail from "Telus" regarding my recent internet order offering a discount on my phone line. I now realize it was probably a scam as I can't find this number anywhere on the Telus website. Can someone from Telus confirm that this is NOT (or is???) a Telus number?203Views0likes1CommentPhone Return Issue
On October 1 got a call from telus offering to lower my senior mom mobile bill. Needless to say she ended up with the person shipping her a new phone. She received a return label and sent the phone back through purolator. Now she has a $140 month bill. (My senior mom can't afford this!) From $23 a month. I called telus on her behalf and they have not received the phone, so they won't do anything. Is there anyway to remove those charges from her account?166Views0likes5Comments800 deposit when not in contract when got the phones new customer

Consistently have this problem where they claim I'm out of data for the month and then I check my usage and its like 65 Mb out of several Gbs. It's usually followed up with 'check your account balance' even though it's a prepaid plan. No point buying data if I can't use like 95% of it ever lol Customer service hangs up after a moment of silence and if you do get a representative you can't understand a word they are saying.
