Version Fr109Views0likes0CommentsPrevent Accidental Roaming Charges
Mobile devices automatically connect to the strongest available network signal. Near international borders, particularly along the U.S.-Canada boundary, your phone may connect to foreign towers and trigger roaming charges for services normally included in your plan.

Third-party vendors can charge applications and web services directly to your TELUS invoice instead of requiring credit card payment. These charges appear as application purchases on your bill. How Third-Party Billing Works Vendors offer pay-per-use applications and web-based services like mobile dating or social networking sites. When you download or subscribe through their platform, charges apply to your TELUS account automatically. This eliminates the need for separate credit card or PayPal transactions. Disputing Unauthorized Charges Contact the vendor directly if you see charges for services you didn't subscribe to. The vendor must resolve billing disputes for their services. If you don't recognize the vendor name on your bill, contact TELUS support to identify which company charged your account. TELUS can provide vendor contact information but cannot remove third-party charges without vendor authorization. Prevent Future In-App Purchases iPhone (App Store) Open Settings Tap General Scroll down and tap Restrictions Tap Enable Restrictions Create a passcode when prompted Under Allowed Content, turn off the In-App Purchases slider All in-app purchases now require your passcode. Android (Google Play) Open the Google Play Store app Tap Menu Select Settings Scroll to User Controls Check the box next to "Use password to restrict purchases" Enter your Google password to confirm All in-app purchases now require your Google account password. When to Contact TELUS Contact TELUS if you need help identifying an unknown vendor on your bill or if a vendor refuses to remove fraudulent charges after you've disputed them directly. TELUS can provide vendor contact details and escalate unresolved billing disputes, but the vendor must authorize any charge removals for their services.
