terrible service
2 Topics[Megathread]: TELUS Connect
I have had issues with this app since I started using it ages ago. It's glitchy and almost completely useless. It boasts such amazing features - schedules, device-blocking, content-blocking and so much more! - but it rarely works. I either get a notice that it can't connect (which is fun because it's literally the name of the app), or I can set schedules and turn off access to certain devices, only to find my kids still using them with complete success. This is a problem for me. I pause the WiFi to my daughter's phone (she does not have data through a provider, so the only way she can get online is via WiFi - and all of my neighbours have locked access, so she's not getting on theirs) because she likes to text me at work all day for important things like "do we have any snacks" or "check out this TikTok". Yesterday, she texted me all day long again, and even though I checked the app and it was like YEP EVERYTHING'S GOOD THIS PHONE IS DEFINITELY PAUSED, everything was not good, and the phone was not paused. During the summer, I go to bed before my kids because they are no longer in school, and I shut off the WiFi for their phones and the iPad. It's all on one of those awesome schedules, which the app showed as active and working, but are actually neither of those things. The home screen even showed the devices as paused. Except - I have a secondary app that shows me what apps they are using and for how long, and it let me know that they were on their phones until after 2am. Good stuff. Does anyone know of an app that isn't this one that will actually do what I need this one to do? I have been giving polite app feedback for ages (that changed yesterday) and Telus doesn't seem to agree, after all this time, that the Telus Connect app should, in fact, connect.Solved8.9KViews0likes153CommentsCustomer Service....
January 15th 2025 - I got a quote from our sales specialist to start up a business account, along with mobility, security, WIFI, and cable... I told her at around 2-3pm that I'd discuss with my husband, and by 6-7pm she was calling me asking me if it was approved, which seemed a little weird but anyways, we did go ahead and approve it. I sent in the requested information, and a few days later received 1 out of 2 phones, so I inquired with our sales specialist, and she mentioned that there was something going on with my account and that she'd get back to me... one day later, I followed up... she said I'd hear back in a day or two.... I followed up a few days later. Then, to my surprise she stopped answering emails, so I tried calling, and I didn't get through so finally I called in to TELUS directly and they let me know that only my sales specialist could help, great... nothing was happening there. I followed up on Feb 1st with no answer. I finally got a response today ( Feb 2 2025) after following up again , after adding to my email that I can just cancel if this isn't going to work out and surprise surprise I got a call... He told me I needed to have some patience and just wait, which is frustrating to hear after waiting over 2 weeks since the beginning of this transaction. I still have no second phone, no internet and cable.931Views0likes2Comments
