My internet service with Telus was 51$ per month, for the last 2 years +, never changed anything, and this January I was billed 160$, an increase of 110$. I called to dispute the charges. They said there is nothing they can do to A. Compensate me for the previous month and B. Offer me a similar rate. I just simply canceled. I am actually embarrassed to tell people I was a Telus customer. If I could give 0 stars I would.

As an RBC client, a promotional link popped up when I accessed my bank account showing TELUS MOBILITY comes up with an exclusive offer for RBC's business clients. I just clicked the link to see what they had to offer. Later, I received a phone call from TELUS Mobility Sales rep Rondel **. The discussion went on for a month via phone, text messages and emails. Finally, I moved my two cell phone lines from my current provider to TELUS Mobility in the 3rd week of December 2024. But, the sales rep Rondel **royally screwed my order by sending wrong devices to a wrong address. I struggled hard to resolve this.
Finally, Chad ** of TELUS Mobility contacted me to understand the issue. He almost resolved the issue gently in the last week, March 04, 2025. Later, Cristian ** got in touch with me and spoke to me. Today, March 11, 2025, both Chad and Cristian, resolved the issue created by TELUS Mobility sales rep. I am now waiting to receive my new devices in a few days. Thank you, Chad and Cristian. Much appreciated. Kudos and way to go!

Telus has been charging me for 4 months for security services I don't have. I just spent 3 hours 58 minutes on the phone for them to fix it. I haven't received the email that they said I would confirming it is fixed but the loyalty customer service was kind enough to repeat 5 times that they are waiving the cancelation fee for a service I don't have. If you are thinking of moving from shaw, don't. Telus is even worse!!

Since January, when Telus installed a new front-end security to their system, I am unable to see or download my monthly home services or monthly bills. They tell me to switch off my VPN. Why? Nord is one of the biggest VPN providers in North America. Telus should be able to handle it. They also can't handle interaction with Cox Communications' internet. Again, why? Cox is one of the biggest cable companies in the US. They should be able to handle them as well. Telus are charging me late fees for something that is their fault, not mine. I have spoken to a number of people at Telus, they have been unable to help, have logged tickets and promised return phone calls, which have not happened. Telus - you caused the problem, you fix it!

For the last 4-5 months I been having to call Telus about my billing. I am getting charged more than what I agreed on. I been told different things from each different person I speak with. They added something that I didn't agree to pay. I was told that I wouldn't get charged for it and that it was already in my plan. Now I'm told that they are charging me a extra 50.00. Top it off they are trying to charge me between 200-300 and month. It's getting pretty ridiculous. I hate calling every month.

Tech no showed for a booked appointment for a problem with our hardware. No call, no text to say they weren’t coming. I wasted 9 hours waiting for them. And they have the audacity to threaten people with a $175 bill if the CUSTOMER is not there. They should have to pay me $175 for wasting my day when I have other things to do.

This is my Second review. This company sucks. Their wifi is super slow. Their boosters do nothing and what company needs boosters anyway. I can't even call my friend or play Fortnite with them. The wifi turns off every 10 minutes then turns back on then when I install things they only download at slow speeds because the company suck and their wifi suck. When I'm ready I'm taking this company down myself

They canceled my account and installation for no reason. My account registration never worked, the app never worked, so SUPPORT didn't exist. Their Chat AI is as useless as the people running this company. Abhorrent service before I even had service. I will not be contacting them to try again, because this is a pretty good reflection on what I could look forward to as a customer. Bullet dodged, but don't put yourself in front of the next bullet - find another provider.

Absolute nightmare. I am quite certain, after spending over SIX HOURS on multiple phone calls being transferred around to multiple offshore agents that this was designed as a new form of first world torture. The offshore agents have no problem lying to you about pricing or call-backs when they encounter problems. I was initially lied to regarding needing internet services so my mother in law in long term care could have TV. Technician came to install the internet but after 3 hours was not able to do so... he also spent over an hour on hold with TELUS trying to resolve the issue! Then he tells me that it's possible for her to have cable with no internet. All of the wiring was already set up. He literally told me that Telus probably lied about needing internet to up sell me.
Since then I spent 6 hours trying to cancel the internet order (that Telus was NOT able to install due to their own technical issues) and get just basic cable. If you are bored, love being on hold listening to high pitched scratchy music, being asked the same security questions 25 times by 25 different people... then Telus is for you!!

I don't even want to give this company one star as I feel they don't even deserve that. I have been so screwed over by them. I have cell phones, internet and an unwanted security system I was told was basically included free. What they don't tell you. Is the days you wait on hold trying to talk to humans. Then on top of that. You get separate bills to pay. So you think you're paying off your monthly bill when in fact you are not. You're only paying for one service! Then when you want to cancel. You get to sit on hold for days listening to the same horrific music you've already had the displeasure of having to hear for days. Most traumatizing experience of my life. Highly do not recommend. Wish I had checked reviews instead of allowing myself to be swindled by their door-to-door salesmen. Awful awful company. Not one good thing to say about this putrid place. Run away now!!!!

I could go on a very very long rant here. Long story short.....from being on hold for 8 hours trying to get a human. To eating +/- 1000$ because their system and my phone weren't communicating only to be told "we don't talk to 3rd parties" to dropping phone calls. The two week wait times for service calls to "diagnose/misdiagnose" an issue. To a "contractor" sent to diagnose a problem waiting on hold for over two hours and leaving at the end of the day with NO ANSWER FROM HQ. I guess I should feel better knowing that Telus treat their contractors AND customers with the same level of disdain Suffice to say...,before I send these ring pieces any money directly again. I will send up smoke signals during the day, beat drums at night and send text messages via notes strapped to a moose's **. Absolutely inept company on EVERY level except billing

Just moved back to Blairmore AB. I wanted to use my grandfather's phone number as mine. I made sure no one was using it. Then I called to transfer that number to my mobility. Telus said no can do unless I use it as a land line. Once I own the land line they would program it to be my mobility number. I asked how much? Telus said 50 bucks and the phone was 30. I waited for my land line guy to come and boom I have a land line. No grandpa's phone. He said it was a temporary phone number for 48 hours. A week later I call back to find out why I do not have my sentimental phone number. Wouldn't it be cool to answer your grandpa's phone 47 years after he passed away. I digress. Telus said Shaw owns the phone number. I have to contact Shaw to find out information to transfer it to my land line. What? I paid 100 bucks to Telus to get me at the very least a land line with my grand father's number and now I have to do the leg work. I am at a loss.
I have made numerous phone calls of at least 2 hours each only to screwed out of my money and good old grandpappy's phone number. I am sure we are calling the Philippines. AND the last phone call I made the loyalty employee played TAPS while I was talking to her. Mimicking me? Letting me know my wish was dead? When I asked why she played that music and it was disturbing she said she had no idea what I was talking about. Maybe they should listen to the recordings. She as well as many many employees that I have spoken to told me to switch to Shaw. So as a Telus customer since 1987 I am leaving Telus. Bring this business back to Canada and listen to your consumers. RIP. Now you can play TAPS.

I had Telus internet in 2023. I cancel it because I was moving and no longer needed it. I paid the final bill. I even phoned them to confirm my payment and to see if there were any other debts that I owed and if I needed to return any product. The lady confirmed and assured me I no longer had any debts with Telus and the products stayed at that residence. 1.5years later I had a hit on my credit from Telus for an "unpaid charge" and ,of course, Telus had zero information when I phoned. And it wasn't a collections scam either. Will never use Telus again.

Comes door knocking on a stat holiday when I am enjoying my day off at home. Rang my door bell once. We ignored it thinking it's amazon delivery. Wouldn’t give up and rang my bell again for second time. Got me annoyed to answer the door to see what's the importance? Telus guy telling me they doing some upgrades and saying our Telus contract with promotion and expired trying to push me to sign and lock in for another 2 years. Got tired of them ruining my holiday and told them we don’t like door knocking and we will check online ourselves and shut the door trying to resume peace in what I was doing before their interruption.
Walked back upstairs and they rang my door bell Again! Third time after I rejected them. This time I was really annoyed and triggered. Opened the door and salesman desperately try to push his tablet front of my face trying to push the contract to meet his sales goal/ target. I did not care the deals and told them No! And leave! Never liked Telus after switching from Shaw; Telus has poor reception they had to drill our wall to add a second modem extension when installing. Still poor reception in our room on third floor, often no wifi reception with my phone or laptop; very choppy and laggy watching my youtube. Telus also not accept credit cards to avoid visa fee which Shaw is totally opposite. And coming up to my house and knocking three times to push his sale and not reading me and my rejection pisses me off! Worst service ever! Dumbest idea to come door knocking to really piss someone off!

My Painful Experience with Telus – Dishonest Practices & Poor Management. Based on my experience, Telus customer service lacks integrity and misleads customers without accountability. They lure customers in with promises, only to charge unreasonable fees, completely disregarding verbal and even written confirmations.
Despite requesting an email confirmation of my agreed rate, I was later told by a Telus representative that it was a "mistake" and that I had to pay a much higher rate than what was originally promised. When I discovered I had a 30-day trial period and decided to cancel my account and return the phone, Telus made the process unnecessarily difficult, seemingly doing everything possible to prevent cancellations.
The poor management across the company only made things worse. After I successfully returned my phones, Telus processed the January 23rd return but ignored the January 10th return, despite my providing proof of an employee’s signature upon receipt. Instead of resolving their internal errors, they threatened to send me to collections over charges that were solely due to their mismanagement.
Adding to the frustration, every time I called, I received different answers regarding policies and procedures. No matter what was promised—whether by representatives, managers, or team members—they never followed through. On top of that, each call took over two hours, further proving their complete lack of efficiency. I would never do business with Telus again. This was, by far, the worst customer service experience I have ever had. I genuinely wonder how employees can work in such an environment.

So I’ve been a Telus customer since ‘82 (agt). In august of 2024 I find out my account was fraud and I had paid over $2000 to Telus that was to be returned. It’s now February 2025. I have yet to receive a current bill or any sort of closure to this nightmare…instead I have now been cut off from ALL SERVICES for the 4th time since August and they cut me off at midnight two nights ago, I was on the phone yesterday for no word of a lie up to 4 1/2 hours, seven different agents, a manager and still I sit without my phone.
They assured me that someone would contact me yesterday until I finally called and they were closed. You see they want me to just send $900 to get my phone hooked back up even. Though I did what they told me to NOT pay until I receive confirmation that the case is closed and I receive a proper bill so $350 for three numbers, last bill and only bill I have is for 2145.00. I’ve had it to my wit's end with these cheating, thieving good for nothing carrier. This is how they treat a loyal customer who has never been cut off before August last year.

Telus is a tremendous waste of time, as a customer of 30 years. I have been lied to and lost now over 100 hours of my time, being overcharged for services and lost much patience. I was excited that my company was growing, so I brought multiple new staffers to my Telus plan. From Rogers and From Bell - should get a porting discount of 20% +; I bought three new phones, 2 new iWatches, and 2 cellular iPads, adding it to our other iWatches & iPads = a multiunit discount. I purchased business wifi = $20 off per line; I purchased a business connect = a further discount. Agreeing to a contract that stated I was to be billed $275/mo. Spending many hours on the phone with the agent, making sure that all details were correct.
I get a bill for $1000 - It was a rogue agent HE LIED - even though it was in writing in a contract. I spent from OCT 2023 to March 2024 on the phone with Telus, straightening this up. Then as of today, they have disallowed most discounts, and I am paying full price. I don't work for Telus, and I have lost nearly a hundred hours working on this. It is all a waste of time. Telus lies to their customers & does not care about their customers anymore.

Here are some reasons to avoid Telus at all costs:
2. If you cancel before the 2-year deal is up, they will 100% savage you for the money. If you don't pay, you will get calls from creditors within a month.
3. Once your 2 years is up, they will auto charge you the normal amount +fees. My first bill was $180/month.
4. If you want to talk to a representative about anything, minimum 1 hour on hold. Like just to cancel my services or discuss the fact that my bill more than double between months.
They will take all your money ruthlessly and should be shut down.

Our Telus experience has been terrible! Signed up for services end of Nov. Tech arrived and explained after installation to expect ‘really slow’ internet compared to what he had previously, even though we didn’t downgrade it. TV boxes didn’t arrive on time either even though our billing cycle was set to start (how do you bill someone for services they can’t use?) After 24hrs, we simply decided to cancel and look elsewhere. I called, cancelled and was guaranteed I would not be billed. A month later I received a bill (for services I had long ago cancelled). I called and was assured it was their error, it had been corrected and I did not owe them money. I thought that was the end of it. A month later I received another bill…this time with late fees! So I called again, explained what was going on and was again reassured they had cleared the balance and all was good and I would receive a confirmation email. Email never came.
A short while later a number started calling me….I always let it go to voicemail assuming it was a scam. When I looked more into it it turned out to be a collection agency! Telus has sent my personal info and ‘outstanding bill’ (that had apparently been cleared twice already) to collections. I’ve never in my life been called by collections and now I was for a bill I never owed. So I called Telus AGAIN and expressed my frustration and was met with only a quick ‘sorry ma’am’. Once again I was assured the bill had been cleared, I owed $0 and all was good. I asked to be emailed proof of a $0 balance, but apparently they couldn’t. I needed to wait for another email confirmation….What a joke! That was recent so I’ll see what becomes of it. Please, just stay away from Telus at all costs!!

So I need to get this story out there and I need help spreading the word. I cancelled my Telus services because my bill doubled once my contract needed and no one contacted us to renew. I called on Jan 12 thinking that if I cancelled before Jan 17 then I wouldn’t owe anything for January. I spoke to a person and after confirming that they couldn’t match prices to Shaw I confirmed again the date I would have to cancel in order to not owe anything. I then signed a new contract starting Jan 16 with Shaw. Called TELUS again to confirm that I didn’t owe anything and that the bill that is 309$ would be cancelled off. The agent told me yes my services would be cut off Jan 22 and I asked that my billing date was the 17th that I wouldn’t owe anything. The agent confirmed.
Fast forward… I called Jan 29 as I see the bill is still owing and this agent tells me that my billing date was Jan 11 and my bill would prorated to bill me from Jan 11-22. I argued that this isn’t what the 2 previous agents told me. She said she could see that they told me I wouldn’t owe anything yet that was their mistake. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Supervisor called me back a couple hours later, put me on hold after I explained the situation - 8 minutes of silence and I asked twice if someone was there so I hung up. They called back 45 minutes later to which I didn’t answer.
They just called me back today to let me know that I still owe the 309$ that they could discount 100$ so I said, "Ok so once the bill is prorated what would I owe?" He then tries to explain to me that it would be 209$ that Telus bills 1 month in advance… so I’m paying for services that I’m not using??? This is ridiculous! This is why I cancelled my services in the first place as customer service is horrendous! If I had known back on Jan 12 - I would have made sure then that I was cancelled that day. I don’t know my options now as if I don’t pay… it affects credit etc. So am I stuck? #TELUS

Terrible terrible customer service. 3 months ago called to upgrade my internet service. Appointment was set, technician never arrived. Waited all day. No one came. Called the next day. Was told there was no record of appointment, and that an error had occurred which prevented the appointment from being created, was told error has been fixed but now it would be 2 months until I could get an appointment. 2 months go by I decided I better call to confirm appointment has been set, only to be told they have no record of appointment being made and that an error in their system had prevented them from making the appointment.
This last appointment was created by a manager who assured me it was all set. This time the new manager sets up another appointment for Jan 30th and assures me he will confirm with me within the day that everything is all set, I am still waiting for his call. It is apparent to me that they do not care about their customers as much as they would like to promote and if I had any other option for network service I would switch in a heartbeat. It's funny how their scheduling and customer service systems have errors and problems but I bet you will never see an error on their billing and collections department. This company is a JOKE!

I want to share my frustrating experience with Telus Business Connect. I registered my business with them, and honestly, it feels like nobody in their team actually understands this department. Every time I need help, I’m bounced around from one department to another—sometimes for over two hours. Each time, I have to explain my issue from scratch, only to be told, ‘Oh, we need to transfer you again.’ It’s exhausting!
They’ve already billed me for the month, but I can’t find any billing details anywhere. When I try using the app, it just redirects me to my personal information—completely unhelpful. And to make matters worse, I ordered a phone from them. It’s been two months now. I’ve already paid for it, and there’s still no sign of the phone. Calling Telus feels like being trapped in an endless loop. It’s been a complete nightmare, and I wouldn’t recommend this experience to anyone.

Dear Consumers: Avoid Telus like the plaque. I put my services on seasonal hold in October and have spent many hours on hold on five separate occasions over the past few months getting it corrected to the amount that they agreed to. Each time they say it is fixed and the next bill comes and it is the same. Do they not know that their customers have better things to do with their time. When my contract comes up, I will be cancelling my service. Maybe they should spend some of their advertising monies on improving their customer service.

Telus is a monopoly with outrageous pricing. Once you have committed to them and they have you roped in the horror starts. Should you require any assistance whatsoever from billing to hardware questions or just general help you will not receive it. You will stay on hold for hours unit the call finally gets dropped. Should you be lucky enough to get through you will be speaking with someone who you can barely understand and does not have authorization to make the changes you require. They will then transfer you and the process with begin from the beginning. This is the same no matter which department from business, residential or mobile devices.
I have been a loyal customer for over 30 years and have noticed the customer support and service become worse and worse. They don't care either way once you have signed your heart away. I strongly suggest you stay as far away from Telus as possible. This being said it does not leave you with very many options for they own most other companies other than the obvious other monopolies. I wish you the best of luck.

Hello to the Telus team, I am writing this review for reasons of not receiving any service at all. I’ve call several times and of course waiting a long period of time on hold. When I finally get a representative they take all my information and redirect you to another department that in turn hangs up on you and have to start over again. When you finally get someone once again after +1 hrs waiting they offer you a discount for the services you were charged for and never receive. You make sure to ask them to keep the history in file and they say yes no worries. Later to realize you didn’t get your discount, the service is not fix for what you are paying for and you call back again and by surprise they don’t know what you’re talking about.

In the week before Black Friday, I ordered internet, home phone, and cable services from Telus. For nearly two and a half months, I’ve been stuck in an endless loop of frustration, having to call over 10 times just to get my services activated. To this day, I’ve never received a confirmation email for the services I ordered, despite requesting it multiple times. However, I did receive a cable box promptly.
I specifically requested a confirmation email three times and was assured by several representatives that a manager would send it. Unfortunately, that never happened. During one of these calls, a representative upsold me a mobile plan. I was upfront, telling them I likely wouldn’t switch because of the excellent LTE/5G deal I already had. They reassured me they could offer something comparable. I later discovered the plan they sold me was 4G—a detail they conveniently failed to disclose. Once I received the order confirmation from Koodo (and still no confirmation for my Telus services), I canceled the mobile plan immediately due to their lack of transparency.
On the same call, I requested the confirmation email for my Telus services once again. I was told a manager would send it but was warned it might take time due to Black Friday-related delays. I had already been on hold for nearly an hour, so I reluctantly accepted this excuse. Yet another week passed, and no confirmation arrived. When I called again, I was told the request had been mishandled on prior calls and that a specialized team needed to handle the sensitive information. I waited another week—still no email.
On my next call, I was told I would only receive the confirmation once the technician came to install the services and activated my account. Finally, the first technician arrived but informed my grandparents that he couldn’t complete the job due to a NAT port issue and promised to return once it was resolved. Two weeks went by without any updates from Telus.
I called again, waited on hold for an hour, and was told they had located a NAT port and would schedule another visit. Yet again, no one followed up, and I had to call back to reschedule. Another technician came out, inspected the house, and explained that the job required climbing the power line. However, it was a two-person job due to safety concerns. I understood and asked when they would return, only to be told it would be "in a few days." No one showed up for over a week.
I called again and spoke with customer service to schedule yet another appointment. This time, only one technician came and repeated the same thing about needing two people for the job. He assured me he would escalate the issue and request a new appointment. Another single technician showed up on the next visit. Before he even began explaining the ladder situation, I cut him off and stated the issue myself—he nodded in agreement. Frustrated, I called customer service again, asking to escalate my case to a manager. The representative I spoke to was disturbingly quick to suggest canceling my services instead of resolving the issue. I insisted on speaking to a manager and waited on hold for over two hours and 15 minutes. The manager finally assured me they would follow up with the installation department and call me back the next day.
When the call finally came, the manager sounded defeated. They informed me I was in a “no-sell” area for the service I had ordered, despite the fact that Telus installed fiber in our neighborhood years ago after having us sign a waiver. Why did it take two and a half months, multiple technician visits, hours on hold, and countless dropped balls for Telus to figure this out? To make matters worse, I know my neighbors have Telus as a provider. Having worked in customer service myself, I’m appalled at the sheer incompetence, lack of accountability, and repeated failures I’ve experienced with Telus. It’s shocking that a company would treat a loyal, patient customer this poorly and still have no resolution after all this time.

I am reaching out to express some ongoing frustrations regarding the management of my Telus account. Please note that this is not a critique of Telus’s service rates but rather a request for assistance in resolving these issues. I have been a loyal Telus customer for 30–40 years, both personally and through my business entities. Over the years, I have invested significantly in Telus services, which is why I am quite surprised by the challenges I have faced in obtaining user-friendly support. Here is a summary of the situation:
While building a house in Tappen, BC, we were temporarily renting in Vernon and required only internet service at that time, as we primarily use streaming services like Netflix, Prime, and Disney+. Upon moving to our new home in Tappen, we attempted to transfer the internet service. However, we were required to open a new account instead of simply transferring the existing one. Unexpectedly, an extra month’s charge was applied to the Vernon rental account. I was willing to overlook this as long as the transfer to the new location was completed correctly. Unfortunately, this was not the case. When bills for the new address began arriving, we were charged for Optik TV—a service we never wanted—while internet service was absent. After contacting support, I was assured that a service technician would resolve the issue. Notice that the bills actually arrived before we actually had the service hooked up.
When the technician arrived, I explained the problem again, but he directed me back to an account agent. Following this, I spent hours on hold and speaking with multiple representatives, who eventually claimed the issue had been resolved. However, things have only become more confusing: Charges for internet service continued on the old account associated with the rental location in Vernon. We continued to be billed for Optik TV, despite never having used the service. A Telus TV box even arrived in the mail, which we promptly returned. This issue has now persisted for four months without resolution. Today alone, I have spoken to four different representatives and spent over three hours on hold and in calls to try to resolve the issue. All I am requesting is a single, accurate bill for the services I need: internet at our current location. I kindly ask for this matter to be prioritized and resolved at the earliest possible opportunity.

On Oct. 2, I called Telus support because my internet speed was very slow to the point that not even the OptikTV would work. During the support call, they determined a tech was required to test the fiber and equipment and a visit was scheduled. At this time, I was told that if the problem was determined not to be related to the Telus equipment or fiber I would be charged $100. I agreed to this. Oct. 4, a tech arrives, determines there is a fault with two pieces of equipment and proceeds to replace them. During the process, the tech tells me I have unused Ethernet cables in my house that he could connect for a fee of $75. I accept this, sign the agreement, the work is performed, and the fee appears on my October bill as expected and agreed upon.
On my December bill, I was hit with a diagnostic fee of $175 from a Nov 14 visit. I immediately call Telus to confirm this because I did not have a tech come out in November. During the call with Telus, they tell me that the tech that came out in October later decided the reason for the visit was not to replace equipment but perform work I requested and so I was receiving a dispatch fee and the fee for the work.
After two separate calls and a lengthy dispute in which I made several request asking for where I agreed to these fees and authorized work in November. Telus agreed to waive the charges with a reminder that if I request a tech for an issue not related to their equipment there are charges associated with that. Telus couldn't even justify why the tech was allowed to make a decision so late that it did not appear on my November bill but rather my December bill; 2 months later!

Several outages and problems and now we don't even bother to try and bring it online. After I retired in 2022 I called Telus to cancel the service. The agent said my contract ran through December 2024 and there would be a substantial payout. I said I would continue on until the end of the contract and asked her to put a note on my file not to renew after December 2024. She said they would do that. In July, September and November of this year, I called Telus to ensure my home service was scheduled to be cancelled in December. They said yes. I called back in November to make once last check and the agent said he would make a note but to call back in early December just to ensure it was done.
I have just called back (15 - 20 minutes on hold and 1/2 hour with the agent) and they cannot cancel it over the phone as our system isn't working and they need to see a signal from the alarm when we open the door by the main alarm. The agent said I now have to go into a Telus store and present ID (which I understand assists with fraud prevention) and then call in again to cancel. Why didn't someone tell me this 3 phone calls ago??? I am very, very frustrated. It seems like each of the previous agents just wanted to get me off the line and did not give me any information as to the steps that need to be taken for cancellation.

I contacted the TELUS service team in January, and the nightmare started. I had no clue that upgrading your internet was such a challenging task. On March 11th, the TELUS technician found his way to our business building. First, he didn't want to do the router exchange because he was confident the existing router wasn't from TELUS. After insisting on a closer look, he realized it was an older model. The joy of having high-speed internet settled quickly after realizing we no longer had remote access to our security system.
Our IT/security company informed us that the new router had internal restrictions. I'm not an IT guy, so I asked our IT/security company to sort the issue out with TELUS. After 20 hours of back and forth with Telus, the professionals finally sorted it out. Our IT/security company charged $2,000 for the service. TELUS still refuses to pay for the damage they caused. Sadly, the story doesn't end here. In June, TELUS emailed us they would terminate our internet service if we didn't pay the bills. We didn't receive any bills then, and no suspicion arose because we still paid for the internet on our old contract. It turned out that TELUS forgot to link the new contract to our business profile.
For the next three months, we debated with TELUS how to solve a double billing dilemma. TELUS not only double-billed us, but they also backdated our internet contract to January even though the service upgrade occurred in March. In September, we finally cleared the field, except for the $2,000, and TELUS thanked us for our patience. What a joke!!! An innocent decision became the most expensive internet upgrade ever:
30+ emails10+ hours on the phone
We had to pay $2,000 for an issue TELUS caused.
Needless to say, that was the worst customer service experience I have ever had after being in business for over 25 years. The level of incompetence sets a new low bar. Our contract with TELUS sadly ends only in March 2027. It's already marked on my calendar.

My recent experience with Telus has left me very frustrated and taken advantage of. Went into a local dealer to lease 4 new phones. I was taken back by the charge of $280 for activation fee for the 4 phones. We have been customers of Telus forever. I asked the sales tech about the fees and he said he couldn’t do anything about the fees but if I contacted the loyalty department they could do something about those fees especially if we have home services with them as well. Made sense to me….
I called the loyalty department after getting our phones and they stated that was untrue, I escalated the complaint to someone else. I get nowhere. Unbelievable service. I feel lied to and taken advantage of as well as completely dismissed when I stand up for myself. Corporate greed is alive and well. No accountability for their employees that are saying whatever gets the deal done.

Uncompassionate Service and Poor Customer Support. ⭐☆☆☆☆. My experience with Telus Mobility has been nothing short of frustrating. It began when their customer service couldn't locate my account, claiming my number was linked to someone else. Despite my efforts to clarify the issue, I had to involve a salesperson from their Sunnyside Mall location to resolve this.
When I tried to negotiate a lower-cost option to keep the line active with minimal use, they proposed a plan that was almost as expensive as my current one. It was as if they didn't value my business at all. Telus Mobility has wasted my time, shown no effort to assist, and left me questioning how much they care about their customers. I would not recommend this company to anyone seeking reliable, compassionate, or flexible service.

Telus has the worse customer service. If you need service to your house be prepared to wait a while. You will be on hold for an hour trying to get through. When someone finally does answer it’s a person with no experience to determine where your call should be directed. We spoke to a technician and he was rude and would not trace the phone into the building to determine if it was even active. Then we were told we would have to pay for the technician to come out and repair the line. This was only a land line for our home connection. We had to go through complaints line to get someone to help us with our phone.. hopefully you don’t need assistance with any devices with Telus because you will spend hours on the phone before you get it fixed.

We have had nothing but issues with Telus. We moved and suddenly had a huge installation fee. That I was never informed about. I spent hours on the phone because the wait time is always at least 45 minutes and usually more. Then I changed my plan slightly with no new phones and they put me on a 2 year contract for no reason without telling me.
Several more hours on the phone when I decided to cancel because I was sick of incredibly long wait times and spending literal hours on the phone, only to see new charges I was never informed of and knew nothing about. Even more hours on the phone with both home services and telus mobility to understand why these charges were there, to be told that no transaction had taken place and they had no idea what transaction I was talking about. I finally disputed through my bank as I did not understand what the charge was. Turns out it was my final bill which they never sent and now, months after the fact they finally know what that charge was and I have never been so frustrated with a company.
In summary: Telus has been incredibly unprofessional to work with. I have never talked to 2 reps or even 3 without getting different information each time. No one actually seems to know what's going on. I constantly found myself with surprises on my bills as soon as I went to make changes or moved. Even cancelling was a nightmare every step of the way that took literal months to settle. They are even among the most expensive plans out there, not even cheap to compensate for all the other issues. And the wait times are always incredibly long for any question. I will never use telus again and do not recommend to anyone either. I would give 0 stars if possible because the experience has been so poor.

I have a business account with Telus for 2 years with 20 lines. There is one year left to the end of my contract. I made a deal at the beginning. I have been with them for a number of years, knowing when I open the first month bill it will be different, I asked them to email me the contract. First month, when I received the bill it was much higher than the contract. I called them and as you may know every time the call is made the period to get to the end it takes more than 45 minutes and sometimes 1 hour. They finally correct it, but for the last year more than four times they raised one or two individuals bill and I had to go through the same process to correct it. Last month my own was raised $25 monthly and when called they said this discount was for only one year. I don’t understand how could we have a one year contract and why they are acting this way.

BRING IT BACK IS A TOTAL SCAM. They charged me $300 in July for my phone that wasn't supposed to be returned until August as part of the Bring it Back program. Nice that they charge you in advance, and then hold on to your refund money, but it got worse. Rather than spend $60 to return the phone live in the store (another money grab) I followed their online return process and returned the phone via their Canada Post process on August 2nd. On my September billing they only refunded me $50 for the phone claiming there was a problem with its condition. It was in pristine condition, and I packaged it so that nothing could happen to it unless Canada Post managed to back a truck over it.
Then Telus tried to tell me that I didn't reset the phone, which is a complete lie (I completely reset the phone twice to make sure) and so they scamming me out of $250. What a racket - how is a customer supposed to prove that phone was in perfect condition and completely factory reset when it is out of our hands.

Telus has absolutely the worst service of any company I have ever dealt with in my life. Typically dealing with Telus results in multiple 2+ hour calls including over several months and repeating the same automated instructions e.g. reset your modem, before managing to get to a representative who suggest an upgrade to your service. New services don't work any better than old services. And they take months of calls back to Telus to try to get anything resolved. Order numbers provided by Telus don't work online or the Telus app so it always has to be done over the phone.
Representatives will acknowledge the problem and claim to fix it but Telus fails to follow through even after multiple attempts. If you need a Telus agent to do work at your home it takes weeks to arrange and the visit window is something like 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM so requires time off work. Weeks and months without service are not refunded. Their incompetency also includes incorrect billing which again takes multiple 2 hour calls to attempt to resolve.

I can't believe this, as TELUS is a big company. Why they let their customers pass through such a hard time only to be able to speak to human (not robot) like this. Did you know that in order to speak to their CS, which are around the (3rd) world countries, your customers got put on waiting lines for averagely 45 minutes to an hour.

With all my services I pay about 5k a year to telus and I have to deal incompetent AI chat and unhelpful employees when I finally do get through to a real person. I don't recommend telus to anyone. As soon as my contract is up I am canceling all services and I will seek out alternatives. On top of that you do not get offered anything for being a loyal customer for 15 years. It's a goddamn rip off money vs services isn't worth it. On top of that I have an S23 Ultra and constantly being told slow internet while in the city on their towers. This place is trash.

I can't reiterate enough how extremely BAD Telus customer service is in every arena! I was 'forced' to buy Telus products as Telus bought out Vivint Security and I continued as my plan was still through them. Right from the start, I was having mistakes, billing errors, impossible time talking to someone who could fix the issue without first being transferred 2-3 times and waiting on hold each time! Freaking ridiculous... I won't even go into details about my Telus mobility account and the convoluted website/support there. This company has no clue. If at all possible, DO NOT support/buy Telus services.

I want to express my deep dissatisfaction with the service I have received from Telus. My recent experiences have been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. Firstly, the discrepancies between what is offered over the phone and the actual services provided are unacceptable. I was promised specific features and pricing that were not reflected in my bill. This level of misinformation is misleading and unprofessional.
Additionally, I have encountered numerous instances of unexpected extra charges on my bill. When attempting to resolve these issues, I found that there were no clear options available to make payments. Both the app and the website failed to display my bill, leaving me unable to pay on time. Consequently, I was unfairly charged late fees for delays that were entirely out of my control. The most aggravating part of this experience was the time I spent trying to reach customer support. I dedicated over 5 hours trying to speak with someone, only to be met with long wait times, unhelpful responses, and a lack of resolution. This level of inefficiency is unacceptable for a company of Telus' stature.
Furthermore, I have spoken to several friends and family members who have also had negative experiences with Telus. They have warned me that Telus is an untrustworthy and dishonest company. Unfortunately, I am currently stuck in a contract and can only hope that time flies by so I can cancel all the services I have with Telus. I have subscribed to everything—phones, house TV, cameras, Wi-Fi, everything. It feels like I have been deceived and trapped by false promises.
Overall, my experience with Telus has been incredibly stressful and disappointing. The issues I've faced with billing, inaccurate service information, and poor customer support have left me deeply dissatisfied. I sincerely hope Telus takes immediate steps to address these concerns and improve their service quality. My advice to anyone considering Telus is not to fall for their offers. The stress and frustration are simply not worth it. Date of experience: from day 01.

I'm moving my home internet service to my new home address. My options are to A) Sign a new agreement, locking in for 24 months from new contract date, or B) Go "month-to-month", effectively ending my promotional pricing that I SIGNED ON FOR in my current contract. In addition, if I don't sign a new agreement, then its considered a termination and I will be charged an early cancellation fee!! For the duration of my current contract 13 months, I will be charged $195 early cancellation. In summary, I'm being forced to sign a new agreement for 2 years, or else be charged $195 penalty AND lose the promotional pricing. After the horrible experience with Telus while moving my Home Security services the last time I moved, I hate Telus with every fiber of my being and I will NEVER sign a new contract with them.

I have been in this house LESS THAN ONE YEAR! It is inexcusable and INSULTING, Telus can conduct themselves in this manner and get away with it. They provide CRAP EQUIPMENT with no service, everything is self serve.
Given the circumstances, I have told them I request a technician come out to replace as the boxes are difficult for me to access. They are advising there will a $150 charge, seriously!!!! They admit it is their equipment that is problematic but they have done NOTHING to rectify as they have repeatedly (as above) re sent the same crap!

Telus is the absolute worst. Their "bring it back program" is horrendous, and while it may save you a few dollars a month, at the end of the lease you will either have to bring back the phone, which takes many phone calls and hours at customer service and then you have to package it and ship it yourself or buy it from them at an inflated cost. I couldn't afford to buy the phone at the inflated cost, and I told customer service that, and they said I could get a brand new phone for $2.97/month and the plan would $80/month. Like most people I can't be without a phone, and since I the other phone had been deactivated so I could mail it, I said yes. I just received my first bill and it was $275!! There are numerous hidden activation and service charges. If I had known they were going charge so much, I would have bought out the phone. When my contract is done, I will NEVER EVER use them again.

Countless calls to the support center have failed to help, desperate being told this was a Telus issue. Final straw was that on the 6th call, after waiting 45 mins while the representative investigation, I was asked for detailed information to run a credit check to properly set up the TV.

Read this before purchasing any services from TELUS. I constantly encounter lies from Telus. They lie to make more money, and I feel deceived and am an unhappy customer. Let's start with the fact that I connected to 1 gigabit internet for $65 at the Telus store in Cross Iron Mall. The salesgirl said that she couldn't just give me the internet for $65; I needed to also sign up for a home phone and Optic TV. She said that I could cancel these services within a month and keep only the internet for $65 without any problems. If I didn't cancel, I would pay $105 per month for everything. This was lie #1.
Then I called to cancel the home phone and Optic TV, but the employee on the phone said that if I did that, my internet bill would go up to $120 per month. I said that the store promised I could cancel for free and the internet price would not change. The phone employee told me that they always lie in the store to sell more services. Here I got confirmation from the employee that I was lied to. Okay, I accepted that I needed an additional service to get my internet for $65, so I decided to switch my Optic TV to services I would actually use: Netflix Premium, Disney Premium, and Amazon Prime TV.
The phone employee switched these services for me and said that now I would pay $110 per month, but I would have my internet and the subscriptions I needed. He asked how many TVs I had. I replied that I had two TVs, and he said he would send special TV boxes for each TV for FREE (spoiler: this is a lie) because I wouldn't be able to use my subscriptions without them. I told him that I have Android TV and all the necessary apps, that I could log into my subscriptions on them and asked if I really needed these TV boxes. He insisted that it was not possible and that I could only use my subscriptions with their device. This was lie #2.
Then the fun with packages began. They sent me one TV box when they promised two, and it came without a remote control. Funny, how am I supposed to use it if there are no control buttons on the box? They also sent me a video recorder, which I didn't ask for and have never seen before. I called to tell them about this, and they said they always send TV boxes without remotes and that the remote should be purchased separately for $30, but they generously agreed to send me the remote for free. By the way, when I started reading reviews about Telus, I saw that they often do this. It's a constant scheme in their company: send without a remote and then charge for it. I also told them they promised me two TV boxes but I received only one. They told me not to worry, and that they would send another one. They sent it, but also without a remote - they are testing my patience, I can't explain it otherwise.
Finally, I received two TV boxes and one remote, and I began to set up the TV boxes. Neither of the two TV boxes could connect to the Telus router. In the end, I called for help, and a new phone employee told me that if I have Android TV, I don't need TV boxes and that I can connect my subscriptions directly on my TVs. I asked how to return these boxes since I didn't need them. He promised to send instructions to my email but didn't want to discuss it on the phone. I didn’t got this email.
In my next bill, I saw charges for renting the TV boxes and video recorder that were promised for free. This was lie #3, which I had already spoiled for you.They sent me equipment that I obviously didn't need and now want me to pay for it. After this, I received a call from Telus offering to switch my mobile operator with better conditions. They promised to keep my family's phone numbers and transfer us to Telus for FREE. I (foolishly) agreed, and then I received a bill charging $60 for each phone number for this service. This was lie #4.
All these lies were from different people, leading me to conclude that this is part of Telus's corporate culture. I haven't even mentioned that I spent hours on the phone resolving these issues - HOURS, I'm not kidding. It often takes more than an hour to get a response from customer support. From technical point of view, Telus's services are good, but their attitude towards customers is terrible. I hope my review will be helpful to someone, and I also hope this review reaches those who can correct such treatment of customers.

Telus is without question one of the worst companies operating in the telecom space today. If this company were selling stocks the 'label' for them would be a bucket shop and they would have been shut down decades ago by regulators. Alas, they are one of the many Canadian oligopolies that continue to operate despite abysmal customer service. As per my comment above, when you need to set up new services this company is on you like white on rice. Their retail stores are there to sell you services, but good luck trying to cancel any... Their representatives are painfully honest in telling you they sell, they do not buy! Their salespeople use rapid-fire, technical speak, punctuated by 'great offers' to sign you up for services you never intended to get in the first place.
When your initial bill shows up you are often gob-smacked as to how you managed to sign up for various services and offers despite being crystal clear with the salesperson that you did not want any of it. Then comes the infuriating process of trying to cancel a Telus service. Check out their web site...and try to find a path to cancel anything!...It is not possible! So there you sit, as I am now while I write this, waiting for one of their 'loyalty' reps to pick up the line and try to talk me out of cancelling unwanted services.

The Telus automated system is not working very well, one has to ask 10-15 times for a Telus Agent and even so, this will be very difficult. I have also had a great deal of difficulty finding current Telus phone numbers to call the various departments. I contacted my local Telus Store in BC and was shocked to find out that my local store is unable to assist with any billing or tech support issues. Back when we were under BC Tel we use to be able to go into a store and speak with someone for assistance in resolving an issue. It would appear that Telus would rather not be involved in resolving any issues and customer service for customers have become last on their list.
This has been going on for years and nothing in the company changes. I will be forced to fix my telephone problem myself or hire an outside contractor and send Telus a repair bill. No matter how many complaints or escalations, same problem every time I try to get in touch to resolve an issue.

Hi everyone, I am sharing my story in a few different sites in order to make sure people are aware of what could happen. When we moved to our first house, a Telus representative came to our door as they were moving service to the area and offered promotions and deal packages. Though due to it being our first house, and with car thefts and robberies on the rise. We took the package for a security system. The package was offered as 2 cell phone lines, and security system which offered discounts due to the promotion.
Fast forward 3 to 4 years. My wife gets a call from a collection agency stating we owe $2,500 for Telus for security system. I want to mention that the promotion was sold to us as a package all inclusive price. However, when confronted Telus. They stated that the security system is separate and hasn't been paid since it was installed 3 to 4 years ago.
Our first remark was, "How can that be the case? We pay our bill monthly when it comes in." The Telus representative begins to state the home security is a separate bill. So we then asked, "How have we never seen this bill? There's no email, no letter, no phone call of any kind stating we are behind countless thousands for a service we had installed 4 years ago." The Telus representative states they don't call if your account is past due. How does that make any sense? If we miss one phone bill we get a phone call stating we haven't paid. How has 4 years gone by with no notifications of any kind?
Now my wife got hit with a $2500 charge and is on her record for 7 years. She was distraught. We have a new born, our mortgage rate went up by a 1000$ a month. We are barely scraping by to survive. I will never, ever, return to Telus. Better believe I will share this story to as much media as I can to warn others. I canceled my services a day after this incident as well as family has cancelled and explained their disgust with what had occurred.

I used to take Fido connection for my cell phone with $55 plan a month. Two months ago one poor student came to my home for door to door service for Telus in a snow rainy day. I felt sympathetic and I took Telus phone connection for $60 plan with 100 GB and 1000 minutes free call to India. Today I got a bill for $1412.32 to pay by March 8. Don’t take this kind of services. They are cheating the customers. I called the customer care and they gave a discount of $500. I am going to sue against this cheating company. Tomorrow you may be a victim. Be careful Telus.

It is absolutely astounding how incompetent Telus staff are. When you call customer service, it is always very loud in the background. You are constantly repeating yourself and spelling out common words for representatives. They will continuously tell you that your poor service is anything but. I have called back three times over the past three days, each time I was on the call almost an hour. The most recent call got disconnected at 35 minutes. I was told I would get a call back in 15 minutes, that was 3 days ago. And every time I call, I have to repeat myself as no notes are ever taken. If you are looking be pissed on and told it is rain sign up for Telus now!

It was not only slow and long but seems to be dealing with a bunch of inexperienced people in different areas. It was the worst service I have ever dealt with. I have called in to put a request for a cancellation on my plan at the end of January due to moving. As soon as I hang up with the woman I spoke to, she immediately cancelled my plan. Thus I wasn’t able to watch my TV or use my cellphone or internet for the next 11 days. This wasn’t the end yet, the next day, I received an email saying my plan has partially changed. OMG, I really don’t understand why a simple request like this seem so difficult for them to understand after repeating several times what I want to do. I am not sure why these people are hired. I am just so pissed and disappointed with their services.

I phoned Telus one day and ask to have Crave added to my TV plan...My bill went from $190.00 to $250.00 REALLY....I phoned back a few months later and ask to drop Crave (both times when I phoned I was speaking to a person from the Philipines whose dialect was not Canadian English). I had a very hard time understanding him and had to ask him to repeat what he had said...REALLY...The wait time to actually talk to someone from Telus is up to 60 minutes...
My 2 year agreement ended 4 months prior to me talking to this guy...In early January I decided to go with Shaw...I phoned Telus to tell them I was leaving the lady I talked to was rude and told me I resigned up in October of 2023...I told her I didn't and the situation deteriorated from that point on...Telus took $190.00 out of my account that day and took another $816.00 for contract cancellation....REALLY...I now have to file in Small Debts Court against them...I'm 75, wear hearing aids and this is how they treat a senior...I'll never go back to Telus.

Terrible customer service. I scheduled a call back at 5:30 pm. Koodoo asked me to switch to a 5G network two days ago. Since then, I am unable to receive any text messages with an attachment. Koodoo representative transferred me to Telus Tech Support in the Philippines. The guy kept putting me on hold, me on hold. After 3 hours, of many unsuccessful attempts, he just hung up on me. I was on the phone with a Telus Technician for over 3 years when he decided to hang up on me because he couldn't resolve my issue. I am going to look for another phone carrier for sure. We have 18 people who are with Koodoo so they will be losing 18 customers.

Worst service ever. Would never, ever recommend Telus. We have no internet. It's been 12 hours since we set up. We had to do the set up ourselves. Or else they charge us for each box? Stay with Rogers, stay with Shaw. Telus sucks. I'm really sorry. We even changed it. I am ready to go back to Rogers. Anyone else's thinking of Telus run. Would never recommend this service to anyone. Will be canceling a service we didn't even get to use. Terrible company.

I would like to echo everything that has been said about Telus. Signing up with them is the worst thing I ever did. Hours of waiting on the phone, Getting shunted around from person to person. They sent a technician to repair their equipment who was very rude, talked on his phone all the time and never told us what the problem was. For this, Telus charged me $150 to repair their faulty equipment. Did I mention that I had only had this service for one year! When I called they reversed the charge. Now I have another problem- the system basically is not working. They can send a technician and maybe charge me again. Or they can give me an upgrade without finding out what the problem is. For this, I have to sign a new contract. Since Telus has failed to provide the service I signed up for, they should release me from my contract without a penalty.

Absolutely HATE dealing with TELUS, yes I'm using the word Hate. They are impossible to get a hold with the stupid automated system. When you finally get through it will take hours off of your life that you can never get back. Take forever for the nitwit on the other end to do something and you're lucky if they do it right the first time. It's just the worst company ever and one wishes they had never been involved with them in any way shape or form. And thank you don't need any propaganda crap thrown at me while I'm on hold FOREVER.

January 23, 2024. I used my internet in the morning until I had to leave at 7:30 am. Returned at 9:00 and the internet and TV service are gone on both my computer and phone. They both say connected. I took my electronics to my girlfriend's house - everything works, not my equipment. I phone the 888-811-2323 for internet and home phone service. I get a woman who wastes 5 minutes assuring me that I am not alone in my frustration etc etc etc. She says these problems are sometimes solved by upgrading the download speed so she will check and see. I say, "not interested, I just want my internet fixed." She says, "OK pull the power cord off the modem and wait 30sec." I do again, having already disabled the modem several times. She ask permission to find help. She comes back and outlines a plan for a few dollars more with twice the download speed. I reiterate I am not interested in another plan.
She puts me on hold, ostensibly to find someone who can help me. She is back, and talking about a better deal. I flip out! "What good is another plan, I have no internet! I don't want to talk to you about internet plans. I phoned this number to help get my Internet restored. Get me someone on the line who can help get my internet back on". On hold. She is back and says she has a technician who can help with my problem and when he is finished we can discuss the plans. Unbelievable. I thank her for finding me some help and I have no desire to speak with her again. The tech fixes it in ten minutes or so. I phoned the 888 service line and got someone who wasn't listening to what I said, just persisted in trying to up-sell me a package deal. Telus should have their license revoked for shady operations like that. I am quitting Telus and going over to another provider.

Telus bills me 450/ month and cuts me off of service when not paid in full. I paid 500 on 2024/Jan/18 as I was promised of I did. I'd regain service same night but after I paid they told me I'll get my service in 5 days after paying the amount. They asked me to use a credit card to double pay. When I told them I don't have a cc they hung up on me. After calling back for a third to ask where to bill my missed hours (I use my phone for work), I received attitude and was told "not our problem".

Switched over from Vivint (Telus purchased), and have had a nightmare experience in dealing with TELUS. The product offering is lacking, sensors were not hooked up to main panel, had a major scare on CO2 sensor alarm (installed essentially on top of furnace), TELUS tech also advised you do not need CO2 sensors near bedrooms (furnace company doing maintenance on furnace had to hold back their laughter, as to Telus's incompetence). After discussing with Telus, they did come back and install the CO2 sensor upstairs, but tried to pass back a $150 jack installation charge to my bill. The experience with 4 service folks coming out in less than six months to deal with the original install, has caused me to no longer to consider TELUS at all, and will at some point be cutting my internet, and will no longer move over three mobility accounts to TELUS (switched over to get TELUS smart security, to take advantage of the bundle feature).
As a TELUS shareholder, unfortunately from all of the terrible reviews online, I get the sense they will see little return on the security side, and customers switching over all forms of business (absolutely painful dealing with customer service, except the representative who took my call after a TELUS rep. hung up on me, and put himself in my shoes, having a family in the house and CO2 sensor going off). In the end, I have taken measures by purchasing my own CO2 detectors (with read out on ppm), and will cancel my contract when the term expires (or simply pay out, and be done with TELUS altogether on all products, which is too bad TELUS has lent out its name to a product offering that is not on par with other TELUS offerings).

They change my bill every month. No additional usage. Continually have to go through the gong show, hours wasted on the phone, then credits, then they do it again. VERY inconsistent and not accurate or reliable service. Hours trying to get through on the phone. Of course if you ‘lie’ and say, you are a new customer or interested in new services you get someone immediately. Perhaps on commission? ..But existing customers get trapped. Absolutely terrible and sneaky with their billing.

So the person I Dealt with was Excellent. As far as transfers and Phone Conversations. Texts this was reviewed and shared. This is unacceptable and personally I have nothing to hide. But this puts people on the spot and will compromise their well-being. I overheard a representative laughing about my past interactions. I am aware of gossip mongers as well I am well versed with the Art of war by Sun Tzu. An example is giving your opponent a false Target to illustrate their weaknesses. Some people need to get lives of their own. Fodder for gossip. I have many. Be aware of what you are doing and whom you are harming. I am vengeful and will not Forget. And am willing to come back 10 to 20 years later. Or maybe 1 Day. I cherish my friends and those that I care about that have treated me well. If anyone is interested in History. Research Friesans.

After 17 MONTHS of experiencing these problems, and after getting furious and ready to cancel the service, they agreed to send a technician at no cost. The guy was VERY nice and after 5 minutes discovered that the system was never installed properly, the TELUS installers had "forgotten" to PLUG the automation hub, so obviously it would never work. He proceeded to plug it in (instant solution) and he also changed the batteries for the lock (he asked me if I had batteries but I was short of one so he put in some he had in his van).
After another heated discussion, Telus agreed to refund me for the 17 months of service that I paid and not received. However, they charged me the outrageous amount of $168 dollars FOR THE BATTERIES!!!!! When I called they argued that the batteries were "special" (I guess the same spaceships use). The technician asked ME for batteries, so they are definitely NOT special. I've been a loyal Telus customer for many, many years and what kept me with them was the exceptional customer service they used to have (20 years ago). Unfortunately, this kind of service is history, they just want to hook you up for whatever product they have and then profit ANY way they can. My advice: Stay away from Telus Home Security!!! I can't wait to see the end of my commitment to them!!!

Worst company to get internet or TV from if you are disabled and/Or mentally Ill. They have gaslighted me, hacked into my laptop and phone.

In August of 2023 a Telus sales rep knocked on our door to try to sell us on moving 3 of my company cell phone lines to them. The Telus fast talking sales rep., Tyler **, provided pricing which to date (Dec 2023) Telus has refused to honour - not even close. Tyler ** had promised upfront that I would never have to call customer service and that he would handle any issues or disagreements. Their first bill was over 10 times the quoted amount. Next bills were getting closer to the quoted amounts but I have still paid over $230 too much. ** claimed Telus would send a gift card in that amount which I have not received. He claims he would "try" to have them resend it - again nothing. Now they are pushing for past due payments which I will not pay until or unless the promised credit or gift card appear. In short, I should have read these reviews before signing with Telus. If you think Bell or Rogers are bad, think again. Telus reviews are 84% one star and getting worse all the time. Good luck!
