    I hate this company. I’ve been with it for 8 years and is the only internet option in my area. I don’t live too much outside the city and near a Telus headquarters. So please tell me why I have 20mb-2kb download speeds. Extremely spotty internet that is extremely annoying to do anything with and it cuts out to upwards of 12 hours at some points. I spent an hour and 20 mins on the phone with one of their employees who were helpful but after 20 mins of the supposed fix to my internet yet again it doesn’t work. You might be thinking that I might just not be on a hood internet plan but also wrong. We’ve signed up for the top package where we’re supposed to see upwards of 100mb download speeds clearly just a flat out lie and an embarrassing statement. So what I recommend just don’t get wifi if this is your only option a can and some string will serve you better than any of their terrible service.

    This company is terrible. My 99-year-old father has an iPhone with a very cheap prepaid plan used only for emergencies. He still drives and get around well. His plan was cancelled without any notice. Thank goodness he did not require help during this time that we were unaware. It's impossible to speak with anyone. The website just goes in circles and they force you to use their virtual chat service with a robot. You can request a call back but I've been waiting over 24hr and counting for that.

    I finally figured out that the plan he was once on was discontinued, once again no notice of that. All they could do was shut down his phone. I think they left a voicemail but not sure as I couldn't retrieve it because, guess what? The phone is DOA. Anyway after going with the new least expensive prepaid plan for $15 for 30 days the phone is back up.

    After about 30 minutes I noticed his cash (prepaid) balance was hit for another $2. I have no idea why as it does not show up under his usage or transactions. I guess Telus just thinks they can dip into your pocket as they see fit. I suggest not doing business with this company. I hate to say it but they are crooked and have no regard for the importance of the service they provide. My suggestion to them is to save all their money on cute animal advertising, hire some phone staff and run an ad campaign that simply says "We answer our phones". They would make more money than any Panda Bear ad they've ever done. BTW I'm retired and hold the Telus company in my portfolio. My next call is to my financial advisor to unload this dud of a company which will never survive if they continue to operate this way.

    I would like to commend an awesome young lady, Kendra, who served me at the Telus location in Southcentre Mall, Calgary, this past Monday., December 4. She was not only very helpful, she was also personable and displayed such professionalism and knowledge concerning my request for a new iPhone. Kendra should definitely be recognized for going above and beyond the extra mile to ensure Telus contacted me re a problem I was experiencing with accessing voice mails and she spent a considerable amount of time with me, explaining different options I could utilize with the purchase of my Iphone SE 3 64 GB. Sincere gratitude Kendra for making my day that much more positive and fond regards. Cindy **

    I bought a Telus sim card at a local store and tried to activate it. That was not possible with the Telus website. So I went again to my local store and we were 1 hour on the phone line with the result I can't have the 15 dollar prepaid option but I can have the 35 dollar option. I refused. 3 days later I managed to activate my sim card, got a number, paid the 15 dollars, but my phone is not showing any signs of TELUS connections. It is a nightmare. I am wondering why Canadians not protest about this?? Telus and all the other companies are money robbers nothing else.

    LOL @connectivity claim though. Paid nearly $250/month for several lines, only to get at most 2 bars of service across entire city (Don't try to blame this on 'we are doing work in your area please'. Thats a joke by now), most of the time it's 1 bar and absolutely no ability to use internet or it is dial-up levels of slow. When calling Telus and attempting to at least get a resolution or partial refund for last 3 months because well... the service that I paid for really was not provided and I am nearly a grand out for no reason because I was simply patient and hoping for the best, the response I got is 'well there is nothing we can do for you BUT would you like to add more GBs of data to your plan for $10 less?'. Like are you kidding me?

    You're offering me MORE data that doesn't function as intended or at all instead of trying to fix a a persistent issue or provide a refund for a service that was never received? Get over yourself, done bothering with this crap company, just gonna call someone else and switch, I'm sure no one else is this awful to long term customers. And I dare you try to charge me for dropping the plan early. Screenshot from last night below is what I see 75% of the time when attempting to use data. Couldn't access my medical card, was forced to pay out of pocket for medication because no internet.

    I have been with Telus for some time now. I can honestly say I haven't had any good experiences with them. They have increased prices and added more fees but haven't given anything to deliver or justify these price changes. I am in the middle of dealing with their protection plan (that we now pay 7 dollars more for) through Asurion, and I'll tell you it's been a pain! I've gotten nowhere and will end up paying an arm and a leg to get this malfunction fixed. I'm praying I have better luck straight from the maker. I highly suggest going with someone else if you can. Although I'm not sure who would be the better choice. Good luck and stay away.

    We have been Telus customers for many years. We recently moved to BC from AB and simply asked that our account be transferred. This was done but ever since, we have had connection problems, the wrong remote was mailed to us... twice, and we still don't have access to the full channel bundle we are paying for. Apparently the "back-end" is not synced to my "front-end" tv. That's the current issue. I have spent hours (over 2 just today) on the phone with the poor Telus tech support technicians who do their best to help and usually solve the problem in the short-term. Then another channel connection or remote function does not work and I have to try to reach tech support yet again. There are way too few technicians to serve their client base as it takes many annoying voice-prompts and much time on hold before you can eventually connect with an actual human technician.

    I've been a customer of Telus for over 20 years and have spent thousands of dollars using their services. Recently I upgraded 1 of my 3 cell phones and was 2 months short of my 2 year contract and was told they would take care of the 2 months for being a loyal customer. It ends up I get my bill and the 2 months were in fact charged to myself, I called the loyalty department for them to tell me they would look into it and get back to me with a resolution...They never even called me back! So I called again and had to explain my situation again to get told in the end that because it wasn't on the screen in front of him he couldn't honor it, basically calling me a liar! He said they would take care of 1 month, I told him, "Sorry. That's not good enough."

    Myself and my wife work hard and pay them an extraordinary amount of money and expect exceptional service which we are not getting. Now my home services wifi has been terrible! I have an unlimited plan but got a charge for an overage on my data. I called them and they said, "Oops." Somebody didn't realize that and reversed that charge, great. Well still having spotty service and having to reset my receiver numerous times I had to call them Again! They said "oh you don't have the correct 5k receiver". I've been paying for 5k the whole time. Sent me a new receiver and still having the same issues!!! I'm done with Telus and looking into another provider! Stay away from Telus if you can!

    In August 2023, we received 4 calls from Telus regarding the alarm system going off. The first time it was a signal alarm, without incident. The second time we were told it was the same sensor. At this time we asked them to note on our file not to contact the RCMP without allowing us the time to contact them (Telus) just in case it was a faulty signal again. This happened several more times to which now we owe $300. We tried to contact Telus at the number they provided but were put on hold or couldn't get through, so the police showed up each time. They confirmed it was noted on our file, but we cancelled our services with them.

    I signed up for home internet services, but the promised activation didn't happen as scheduled. This has left my family without vital internet for my work-from-home setup, without heating for my children's well-being due to low temperatures, without TV, and with a malfunctioning security system. While I had a technician appointment today, they didn't show up. Telus support informed me that the technician rescheduled without notice and might not arrive until tomorrow. I'm also disappointed with the sales representative who initially convinced me to switch to Telus. He's unresponsive to my calls.

    I had been enthusiastic about Telus and recommended their services to three other families, but I'm now considering suggesting they explore alternatives. I urgently request Telus to rectify the situation and deliver the promised services promptly. I expect a swift resolution and appropriate compensation for the considerable inconvenience and disruptions this situation has caused.

    Oh my goodness I don't even know where to begin. We are loyal Telus customers and we have been with them for over a dozen years. Today I called them to renew our tv/internet contract and even better add two cellular phone lines. The loyal customer service representative Keith had zero care if I stay with Telus or leave. He didn't care for 2 new cellphone lines, nothing. I am basically calling to get 24 month tv/internet and cellphone deal and Keith didn't talk with me longer than 5 minutes. Keith said I have no authority to keep my current deal price, we got such good deal now it's impossible to have and new will be $50 over our old price. Keith did not even go over cellphone service prices with us. He simply didn't care, I said, "Ok we will probably call back later or switch companies" and he said, "Thank you bye." This is what you get after 70 minute wait on the phone in the best case scenario.

    Second case scenario you wait 60 minutes then speak about cellphone plans and the lady says, "I am only in cellphone service department and tv/internet is in another department." I said, "Can you please transfer me?" She said she doesn't have such option and gave me 1 855 number (she said it's direct phone number). I am dialing that number and it's Telus regular phone line, I am on wait again 57 minutes now. How is this for the service and they want you to pay $180 for tv/internet + $70 per cellphone line. It is over $350/mo and you can't even reach to speak to a live agent. If you a new customer I would recommend you LOOK ELSEWHERE. PLEASE save yourself some time and money.

    Telus took over our home security from Vivint. Telus has ruined our security. The monitoring is terrible at best. My security panel was accidentally disconnected while moving furniture. After 10 hrs when I noticed this, I realized Telus did not call to ask what happened, meaning there was no monitoring (which I pay them monthly for). That is a total fail. Now try to call them after 4pm or on the weekend if your security system is having issues. Near impossible. Not even worth 1 star.

    First of all their telemarketer sold me the wrong product/service, despite telling their package does exactly what I needed. Then they never sent me any information but sending bills instead. When called he not was not only unhelpful but tried to get me to give more referrals so he can scam more people. Then came the customer service. When I canceled and returned the device, I was billed the same amount of penalty for the device that was returned for months. They did not update my billings. I had to waste 2-3 hours every month calling them to tell them that I returned the device and to scrap that amount from my billing. It was a nightmare from the beginning to the end dealing with them.

    Whatever you do I will advise you stay as far as possible away from Telus. From the very beginning I noticed their customer service was very difficult, complicated to reach and very poor. I got a mobile plan with them Nov 2022. I have a third party app on my phone called boss revolution for the purpose of long distance call and while I was with virgin mobile for 3 years never had any issue with that. To my surprise Telus billed me for all the calls that I made through this third party app. I have never made a long distance call directly from my phone, and I did not know that it was a thing since I never asked for such plan from Telus, so I only go on the boss revolution app to make my long distance calls each time and it's paid with proof.

    When they charged me about $1500 CAD extra for international calls I almost passed out. It took me days to call back and forth. When they asked me for evidence and call history from the other party, I sent them both call history and payment to show proof that my calls was from boss revolution and with proof of airtime purchased from them. Telus played me around and eventually denied my claim and then insisted that I pay them for the calls which was not made from Telus network. I called to close my account but they insisted that I will have to settle the bill, I refused, I broke their sim and moved on to another provider. Telus left my account open and kept sending missed payment to my credit profile monthly. The company is a fraud and they are just out there to suck dry unsuspecting customers. It will do you good to avoid this Vampire of a company.

    So unfortunately I came accross a situation where I was a little late on my bring it back after 2 years plan. Fine that's my fault, but they've now billed me for suspending my account because THEY didn't receive the payment I made on the day my bill was due. I was charged an extra reactivation fee of $55? Seems a little excessive after just having to swallow $500 plus my phone bill of $190 from last month. When I tried to get someone from the team to help me with my problems, I just get shuffled around from person to person, and none of them unfortunately were any help at all. Somehow I have a new plan I didn't agree to go forward with, for you guessed it- another fee! Yay? Honestly after being with these guys for 17 years, I'm at a point where I've completely given up...

    Please let me save you the absolute headache- don't waste your time with these mopes. They just bill you for whatever they feel like- you can't do anything about it, they won't bother helping you, and sadly it will end up hurting your credit. Oh and once they've suspended you, your mobile account on their app also magically doesn't work, so you can't check why your phone isn't working, or what any of your existing balances are to pay them, so you have to call them and get the whole shuffle person to person thing all over again.

It says press 1 to talk to an agent. Press 1 then nothing. Press again. Same thing.Then they hang up and call you back in fifteen minutes.Same thing three times in a row. Am I missing something here? If they are running a phone company their own systems should work properly. They were supposed to call me back last night to do an internet speed test between 7-9. Well that never happened.

    We have been w/ Telus for 15 years, and today was the last straw. They offered discounts towards our services due our services not working over the last year. Countless phone calls and time Spent trying to fix things. I signed all new contracts because of all the discounts offered. Got the bill and noticed no discounts were applied called, spent 1 hr on the phone going back and forth about how the discount I’m talking about never existed and that they now cannot find any notes on my account about this discount. Manager comes on and says, "Sorry. Nope I can’t find anything." After I verified on multiple phone calls that this discount would be added to our bill every month, he now can no longer see the so-called notes and wouldn’t listen to my recorded phone calls. Bye Telus. I cancelled every home service and next will be our mobile accounts.

    We decided to put all our service with one provider -> Telus. What a mistake. Security - everything we were told was incorrect including the price. Mobile phones -> everything we were told was wrong including the price. TV - everything we were told was wrong including the price, channels and quality. We tried to call customer services but the representative could hardly speak English. Worst decision ever!!!

    Hello my name is Curtis I recently switched to Telus from Shaw and I regret the move, our service is terrible the TV box's always disconnect and it is a struggle to get them to reconnect, the wifi signal is weak all over the house (shaw never had this problem). Also I get weather alerts from other provinces constantly harassing our family and scaring them interrupting the show and returning to home screen multiple times every day... Telus sucks really bad.

    I am compelled to write this review to express my utter disappointment and frustration with Telus Mobility's services. The company's frequent disconnections of my services for being just a few days late in paying my monthly bills, coupled with their unjust $50 reconnection fees, has left me feeling robbed and taken advantage of.

    It appears to me that Telus Mobility intentionally employs these tactics as a means to rip off unsuspecting customers. I have been a loyal customer for quite some time, but their treatment of me has been nothing short of despicable. Instead of working with their customers to find reasonable solutions for minor payment delays, they choose to disconnect services and charge exorbitant fees, all in the name of increasing their profits.

    What makes matters even worse is the abysmal state of their customer service. The representatives I have interacted with have been consistently rude and unhelpful. It is shocking to see such a lack of professionalism and empathy from a company that claims to prioritize customer satisfaction. Instead of addressing concerns and resolving issues, their customer service only exacerbates the frustration and anger of customers.

    I find it deeply concerning that Telus Mobility's practices may even be illegal. Disconnecting services and imposing reconnection fees for such minor payment delays seems like a deliberate attempt to exploit customers and maximize their revenue. It is unacceptable and goes against any principles of fair and ethical business practices.

    I strongly advise anyone considering Telus Mobility as their service provider to think twice. The company's actions are not only unethical but also a clear indication that they prioritize their own financial gain over customer satisfaction. There are countless other providers out there who offer better service, fairer policies, and a more respectful approach towards their customers.

    In conclusion, my experience with Telus Mobility has been nothing short of a nightmare. The frequent disconnections, unjust reconnection fees, and rude customer service have pushed me to the point where I can no longer tolerate their mistreatment. I am actively searching for an alternative provider and will share my negative experiences with as many people as possible to ensure they do not fall victim to Telus Mobility's deceitful practices. Save yourself the frustration, headache, and financial loss – steer clear of Telus Mobility.

    I have been with Telus for decades. I enjoyed their service. I had not bought a phone with them for years. Always brought my own. Since getting the IPhone 12 mini with them I dealt with sound issues from the start. I had called in and no fix was able to be done. Even Apple could not solve it. So in other words I got a defective phone which I paid a lot for. I was given no other options or solutions. If you have your own device to bring that will give less issues. I do not recommend buying any mobile phones, doing so is a gamble. If there is a defect good luck getting them to do the right thing. They will say you need a warranty even for something that is a defect that is not your fault. Even the warranty is sketchy and very limited. I am very disappointed in the product.

    The service has been good enough to make me stay in the past. I have spoke to people around me and I seem to be paying way more than most people. My plan will be done Sept22/23. Sad to say I will be looking to seek service elsewhere at that time. I was a loyal customer from for 20 years. One last thing calling them and getting through to an agent can take a long time. Recommend the chat section on their app, tell them issue there and they will call you from there.

    Called Telus about getting fibre installed in my condo and was informed my building had a steep discount so I decided to sign up and was told I could expect a call to schedule install within a day or two. A week goes by and no call so I reach out again, the CS agent says I can expect a call that night or the next morning then four more days go by. I talk to Telus again tonight and after several disconnects because their chat system is conveniently acting up I call their sales department and am informed there is no discount on my building. So thank you Telus for jerking me around for nearly two weeks, I'm sure CSIS would be knocking on my door if I expressed my honest opinion about this company and the CRTC.

    My husband is still currently on the phone after 2 hours with a Telus customer service rep who seemingly had very little information as to our transferring from another service to theirs. I do not blame the rep. A company worth its salt would be training people properly and allowing them to seek management help if they were out of their depth. A woman representative spoke with my husband on Monday to arrange the transfer details, she said she would be calling today at 10AM. My husband forgot to write down (ALWAYS WRITE DOWN NAMES), her name. She did not call at the agreed upon time and so my husband called TELUS.

    The person he is speaking with a representative who seemed to not understand what was happening (a transfer of service), did not know how to undertake the transfer of service, seemed confused about information required, could not look up who my husband had spoken with, did not transfer the call to somebody who might know what to do. This does not bode well, obviously, for our new service provider. Not many options given the communications monopolies in Canada. TELUS' CEO made $17.49-million in 2022 which seems like an unjustified amount of remuneration for somebody in charge of a company offering such terrible customer service (as mentioned in many reviews here). My husband just got off the phone 2 and 25 minutes later. This was the first day of our holiday when we could take care of some tasks needing to be done during working hours, as we when we aren't free to do so when we are working. This company has left me contemplating walkie talkies. I am not joking.

And we have not even had this service for a week! We called them and they said we would have to pay but the next month it would be only $85 for both phones. Nobody is being accountable for that, and they are not rolling back the charges. So the big companies take advantage of the little people. I am mad because they are liars and I am making my move to Fido again! I will never come back to Telus. And I am moving my internet services with another provider as well.

    My issue was resolved by a very nice Telus employee who went out of his way to help with this matter. My service was restored and the people I dealt with once communication was established were friendly and helpful. I am satisfied.

    Original Review: May 18, 2023

    Mascon is a registered business name of TELUS Communications Inc. I would like to relay a story about a Telus subsidiary called Mascon by Telus. They provide internet services to rural communities based out of Salmon Arm. Now Telus bought out our local internet provider here in our village, a sad affair losing a local business but the promise was of upgraded service both for tv and internet.

    I made the switch over 2 years ago to include losing my Shaw satellite tv in favour of a integrated package. Since then I had experienced reasonable although costly service from mascon by Telus. Repairs take a inordinate amount of time (2 weeks to replace my last dud cable box) and I was without the HBO package I was being charged $20 per month for 3 months over the holidays. However the customer service was usually friendly and they did address the issues all be it in a slightly tardy manner. I have always gotten a response to my past issues rather promptly even if repairs took time

    Enter this latest "scheduled service maintenance". 2 days ago mascon by Telus undertook a middle of the night service upgrade. We received notification slightly over 24hr ahead of time. On the morning of Tuesday May 16th it became apparent to many in our little village that something had not gone should I say "well".. Several people were reporting lack of or sluggish internet and several no tv services at all. I happen to be in the latter category of no tv services at all. I decided I should contact tech support after having tried all the self help recommendations on the website.

    The Telus menu system when you call is a indication of this company's connection to its parent company Telus. After 50 minutes rather than the call going through it was disconnected on the other end of the line. I redial another 2 hrs of not getting through. I am made aware by someone else in our community of the call back form on their website so I submit a call back request. Forward to today 2 more call back requests 2 emails to the company and another 2 hrs on the phone and I have still not received any communication from mascon by Telus. I still have no tv.

    I am being charged $167 per month for this service a service I no longer have. Past disruptions in service have not resulted in any reimbursement for loss of service (save the HBO subscription which I was not offered but had to ask for). 48hrs after service ceased not because of an act of nature or user error but because of planned maintenance and we have received no communication no indication that repairs or equipment will be fixed or even that we will receive refunds for lost service.

    I have had issues here and there with Telus over the years. (40 years a Telus customer to be exact, back when it was bctel) but most were solved through communication and working with their customer service and tech support. Currently they are leaving a sizable population of rural customers without services they are being charged heftily for. I hold Telus responsible for this as mascon by Telus is their company. They bought our rural internet provider with the promise of upgraded service but instead we have much larger fees and a complete lack of customer service.

    We have several elderly residents that are currently without tv or Internet services because of this "upgrade". These are individuals that depend on these services to communicate with family and keep themselves informed as well their main source of entertainment. Almost no one in our community has been able to get in touch with anyone about this issue nor have we been provided updates or information on repairs. They will likely have no customers in rural communities if they continue to treat us this way.

    I haven't had good internet access for over a month. I've lost track of all the times I had to power off my router, just to regain internet access for a few minutes, only to lose it again. I was almost ready to buy the explanation that it was a router hardware problem, except that it also happened when I tethered a connection from my phone. I have about a dozen or so connected devices, which have all encountered the same problem; "Cannot resolve DNS." Telus worked on the problem for a week, and finally promised me a new router "within 48 hours." 10 days later, they told me, "yeah, that's not happening." Quite a hostile reaction to a problem they failed to solve. I had been a loyal customer for nearly 30 years, taking the bad with the good, but this is a new low for them.

    I am very disappointed and we will definitely cancel all the services we have with Telus. It seems that the person who called us to sell only had the intention of making a commission. What we wanted were three SIM cards: the first and second with call, text, and data, and the third with only data. They assured us that the plan we had for $80 included everything we wanted and we agreed.

    When the SIM cards arrived, we realized that they had not given us what we wanted at all, and according to one of Telus' managers, there is no plan that includes only data. Additionally, we did not have data for the other two SIM cards. This was the fault of the Telus sales representative, and you should accept it and provide us with what was agreed upon. Unfortunately, the solution offered by one of the managers to fix the problem was $125 for all three SIM cards, and the third SIM card that we wanted with only data would not have data. This is truly disappointing. We were very satisfied with the plan we had with Rogers, but due to the mistakes and lies of the Telus sales representative, we lost that plan and this needs to be rectified.

    When Telus installed my internet connection I took baseline network speed throughputs. My internet speed has progressively gotten slower and slower over time and is nowhere near the baseline numbers. Using sophisticated network software analysis tools I discovered Telus is using QOS (Quality of Services Bits) for bandwidth throttling. They use this to slow down your connection so they can sell you a faster connection purely for profit. Almost all Canadian internet providers use this to scam many Canadians.

    Was lied to by Telus rep to switch to them. It would be cheaper they said. It wasn’t. I left a perfectly good phone play based on Telus mobility promise. I have an iPhone 13. I have had it for 6 months and pretty much since I got it it been a problem. It freezes, can’t hear me or others and the data/internet doesn’t work properly. It was my last straw when I use an app to log into my work and it would not let me. Data froze. I had to call my boss to log me in and out. I was told that I don’t resolve this phone issue I can’t work there. I have files CCTS and nothing. They don’t care about their customers. I called them today to cancel my contract. According to Telus $20 per month of the remaining contract, with the being bring it back phone program.

    I was told today that I still would have to pay for the phone even if I can bring it back because it wasn’t in proper working order. It’s 6 months old, I am not paying for a phone that doesn’t works. So I ask can I sell my phone and plan and they said yes but they wouldn’t recommend it because the phone isn’t in good working order. It wouldn’t be fair to the buyer. What about me. 6 months of hell and they want to get $900 from me plus the phone when their site states $20 per each remaining month. I need to work and I can’t afforded to keep this piece of junk that they won’t stand behind. And they threatened that they will report it to my credit bureau and my credit would be effected. I am having the worse experience with Telus. It’s is effecting my mental health to fight with them for the past 6 months. What can I do. It’s my work that is affected.

    Telus agent Jonel called me to offer a promotion because I have an existing account with Telus Smart Home Security (formerly ADT). There are 3 phone lines in our home so I gladly accepted the offer because it is cheaper than our current phone plans with another service provider. The offer is a $5 discount for each of our phones. When the sim cards arrived and I called Telus for activation, I was told that I am not eligible for the promotion because I am NOT an existing Telus customer. So what's the deal with Telus acquiring ADT if I am not a Telus customer? And why was I offered the discount if I was not an existing customer? I was so frustrated I ended up cancelling transferring to Telus and just stick with our present provider. I even gave Jonel an excellent review after our call thinking I got a good deal. But I was deceived. If only I can take that rating back and talk to him again, I would air my frustration and disappointment.

    I went to Europe with my wife last December/January. I was supposed to pay 13$ to use my phone plan there. Instead, Telus charged me more than twice as much. When I asked why, they said both my phone and my wife's had been used, except that my wife's phone data was turned off since she got there. Also, Telus security has not provided maintenance to my outdoor camera which doesn't work. To make matters worse, our internet wifi is spotty and often doesn't work. We had pic TV too but had to switch to optic TV because the internet was not reliable to support it. So, in summary, Telus is expensive and, in my experience, has been ineffective.

I then wanted to speak to a manager to find out why they were so reluctant to help me---the manager was even more terrible! And here's the worst: Telus has now charged me $15 for changing my plan. "How dare I be an educated consumer?"

    If I could give a negative rating, I would. The summary is, I’ve spent over 8 hours and the mistake they made has still not been resolved. I was cancelling a line on my account and the advisor accidently cancelled my phone contract instead. This resulted in them charging me $800 for the entire contract and it showed up on my next bill. I called them back, waiting 2 hours on hold, and they “fixed” it for me. It wasn’t fixed. After trying to get a hold of them over 3 days, I finally got an advisor after being on hold for 2.5 hours. This 3rd advisor proceeds to ask me questions that were already answered – I know because she read the notes on file out loud. They then suggested that we pay the $800 because when they tried to withdraw the amount from my account it bounced and that if it isn’t paid it will be sent to collection.

    I asked her why they need me to pay for an amount that they were going to need to reverse instead of just cancelling the $800 and collect the balance but she wasn’t able to answer that. After about 40 minutes, I began losing my patience and asked for a supervisor. After being on hold for another 30 minutes, they told me they didn’t have a supervisor available yet so I asked to them to just call me back. I checked my bank account and found that they actually DID collect the $800.

    I’m a very patient person but I don’t understand why I’ve been spending this much time on mistakes the TELUS advisors’ made. Why am I double-checking their work? My husband has been refusing to switch over from Fido and I can probably see why. I just finished talking to the escalation manager and they STILL can’t resolve their own mistakes and I have to wait on the next escalation up. Absolutely ridiculous. If it wasn’t because of my employee discount, I would never go to TELUS and I am definitely going to move once my contract is over.

    Telus has been the most frustrating company to deal with by far. There’s way too many departments and nobody knows what’s going on.

We have a business account with them with multiple lines yet they expect us to wait a week for an update with no call back.

    After I had to call them back for an update, I was on the phone for an hour and a half with someone overseas, spoke to a manager and they still couldn’t give me a time when my internet could be transferred after waiting a week for an update. They asked me to wait another 24/48 hours for them to submit yet another request. We’ll be 2 weeks without internet which sounds like a first world problem but is Telus able to run their business without internet for 2 weeks? If they can’t then how are they expecting another business to be patient and understanding? Don’t waste your time and money with this company.

    I tend to only write positive reviews for businesses; however, my recent experience with Telus has been so frustrating that I need to share. Frankly, it's unacceptable for one of the, if not THE, biggest phone provider companies in Canada to have such inexcusable discrepancies across their departments and website. Especially considering their exorbitant pricing. I was near the end of my contract, which required me to upgrade my phone and return my bring-it-back device. Great, no problem, I'll do it online, where there is a great deal if you upgrade; you get $10 off monthly for 24 months. After the aggravating process of dealing with their horribly slow website, which is riddled with various UX/UI issues and bugs, I tried to purchase the phone. Nope, can't purchase it- no idea why. My credit card works, Visa debit card works- it must be on their end.

    I give them a call, and I'm waiting on hold for over two hours. It's fine (I understand there is a staff shortage, especially gearing up toward the holiday season). Finally, I got to talk to someone on the phone. She helps me place my order. I told her I wanted to place the order online for the deal, but I had to call since I couldn’t finish the order. She doesn’t know of the deal, apparently, so she advised me to call back when I receive my phone and ask. After 4 hours, the order is placed. Five days go by. I got an email to my OLD email address (when I had updated my email to a new one weeks before on their website). Apparently, my order has been cancelled, and I have to give them a call. Good thing I checked my old email, or else I wouldn’t have even seen it. You would think they would call or send a text about the cancellation, considering I’m on a time limit to return my device.

    So, I call. Again, waiting on hold for countless hours. Finally, I spoke to someone who has let me know that despite what their website says, their system in the phone department indicates that the phone isn’t available. Okay, no problem- but the website says it’s available. This is when I found out from the lovely lady on the phone (she was awesome) that the website often has issues and that the phone department, internet department, and in-store departments are separate... Separate? Despite being owned by Telus? Okay.

    I am advised to place the order online since it says the phone is available so I can get the deal, so I did. I asked why the email was sent to my old email. “The email we have in our system is **.” Odd, I updated it in my account information weeks ago. I asked her to change it, but she couldn’t, so has to call another department to update it. I waited on hold for another hour until they could update my email in their system. Well, another two days go by and guess what? I got another email (to my old account, again) that my order had been cancelled. AGAIN. However, they’re giving me a $50 credit for the hassle (I have to email them back with my new order number).

    I go to the website, and the phone still says it’s available, but the deal is gone. Now I’m getting really frustrated. I called in again and waited on hold for another two hours. I spoke to someone about the issues I was having and the time I’d wasted (at this point, almost 10 hours during my work week), and now the deal is gone. I asked to speak to their complaints department, which would take another two hours. It was my only option at this point.

    I got a call from the mitigation department, and he was super kind and helpful. I expressed to him how difficult it has been to upgrade, which in itself should be a simple task. He advised me that he would honour the deal, which had expired. At this point, it had been almost two weeks since my first order. So, a new order is placed, and I email my new order number for the $50 credit.

    About 3-5 days later, I received an email that the credit didn’t apply because I didn’t place it through the online store. I had attempted to place the online order multiple times, and because of their discrepancies, I had to call to place the order. I tell them this, and again a few days later, receive the same answer. UGH. I should also mention that they double charged me on accident, which required another 2-hour phone call with back and forth between departments, me being hung up on once and having to wait on hold again, as NO ONE had any idea or could see any of the charges on my account…

    In total, on hold and with callbacks, I spent roughly 15 hours attempting to get this sorted with Telus. During my work week. I was pressured to upgrade my device, which I had originally left ample time to make the bring-it-back requirements prior. I would have gone in-store, but they charge a $50 activation fee, and my phone would have been ordered online anyways. I’m sick and tired of living in BC and being susceptible to the monopolies held by big corporations that take advantage of consumers like this. The inefficiencies are inexcusable.

    Anyways, if you made it this far, I really appreciate it. I am not blaming the service agents, who were very kind, understanding, and helpful when I spoke to them. I am blaming the corporation, the individuals who think these kinds of processes for a technology company are acceptable. For the complicated structure of the business, their inept silos, and everything in between. I feel that we are forced into giving crappy businesses our money because of the monopolies they hold. So, I feel the only way to demand change is to share my experience with others.

    Throughout the summer of 2022, Telus installed Fibre Optic Cable in my community (Huntington, Calgary). For a month straight, every Saturday morning, I was woken up by sales person asking if I wanted Telus. I don’t know why Telus doesn’t keep track of where they have visited & who is & isn’t interested. By the fifth sales person visit, I finally agreed to sign up with Telus. Jahish was the gentlemen’s name who signed me up. Honestly, he was the only person who had any customer service skills throughout this entire process. However, he could only do so much. There was a point when his OSM wasn’t even replying to him.

    On Sept 15, I received a text from Lan (Telus Pure Fire Infrastructure Team). The text said they received a ticket & wanted my approval to come on to my property & drill a hole. I did not approve. In fact, I messaged asking for the details of what was going to be done. I have very expensive stamped concrete & didn’t want a hole drilled where it was visible. Matching the concrete would be impossible with stained/stamped concrete. I asked how large the whole was going to be & Lan sent me a picture of a hole. No dimensions. How I was supposed to know how big of a hole it is from a picture is beyond my understanding. I asked multiple times by text for someone to call me, nobody ever did.

    By luck, I was home on September 21st. I heard trucks & people in my yard. Lo & behold, the contractors came to drill a hole WITHOUT MY APPROVAL. I explained the texts I had going with Lan & they said “hahaha, she doesn’t understand Men Work”. One of the two gentlemen was rude & did not care about my concern. He actually mocked me for paying $8000 for stamped/stain concrete. Since they were there, I came up with a solution to put the hole under a step board. This way, the mismatch of concrete wouldn’t be visible.

    On September 27th, I received a text from Telus advising that my fibre placement was complete…it was not. October 1st Vidit ** showed up to install the fibre into my house. The line wasn’t there for him to do his job, so he left. October 3rd, without any notifications, or permission, Telus showed up to put the fibre from the front yard to my house. They put my deck board in incorrectly, so I removed it to do it properly. This is when I noticed that the hole was not filled. Having the board on top, if I didn’t pull it off & check, I would have had a hole directly next to my house. This could have resulted in water damage if I didn’t intervene.

    Oct. 22nd I got a text saying I had an appointment. There was no call asking when I wanted this appointment, it was just booked. I needed to be home for the installation, so I changed the appointment to October 28th. Oct 28th, the internet was finally installed. Some of my 2.4G smart devices do not work. Honestly, dealing with Telus at this point had me in tears. I’m not an emotional person, but my frustration put me over the edge. I’ve personally hired someone to come to my home to troubleshoot & fix my devices.

    What blows my mind is Telus is a communication company, & they don’t know how to properly communicate. Anyone who I’ve spoken to said the same thing “I’m not Telus, I don’t take care of that, I can’t help you”. Each visit I would ask if they are letting the NEXT person know that they are ready to do their step, they said no, they don’t do that. Everyone works in silos & has no idea what’s going on. A new customer with an installation order should be a standard procedure with Telus. There are steps required to be completed before the next step begins. In an advanced business process, this would be supported by ‘workflow’. Telus doesn’t have any functioning workflow, and nobody from Telus is organizing the contractors they hire. From a customer’s view, it’s complete chaos.

    IN addition, there’s a lump still in my front yard from where they installed the line. This didn’t happen to my neighbour, so I know it’s not normal. Now that it’s winter, I’m not sure anything can be done about this until next summer. I still haven’t put in the chip in my mobile device. The job for the internet is not done. There’s still the hole that hasn’t been filled.

    I would like a Manager to call me about this email. I want to know when the hole will be filled, when next summer the lump in my yard will be repaired, & if satisfied, I will activate my cell phone. If Telus wasn’t the only company who has fibre, I would have cut ties already. I’m sure if there was completion, Telus would be out of business, our entire community is complaining about the disorganization. Telus is the ‘talk of the block’. On November 2nd, I called Telus wanting to send this information by email. I spoke to Noah, but Telus doesn’t accept email. It’s 2022, and you’re a communication company who doesn’t accept an email?

    Telus internet service is actually the best in BC but, as of October 2022, they are charging 1.5% for credit card payments. What a despicable practice for a company like this to introduce in the early days of a crushing recession. Clearly, in the face of uncertainty, Telus is going make sure their execs don't lose a penny. So disgusted that I'll be switching.

For the last year I have to shut the phone down and re-boot it just to read messages and as the contract is up in Nov 2022 I asked them if they could get me a new phone if I stayed with them, the answer is yes but we are doubling your bill, no loyalty after being with them for over 12 years.

    As Telus passes on to its customers credit card charges for using credit card for pre authorized payments I went to the store in person to get help to change pre authorized payments in a manner that will spare me of those extra charges. I did not have a photo ID on me and that was end to the conversation. No ID, no talking/help. I offered them to log into my account, to call Telus and use my PIN code, to verify when I started with them and telling them my plan details, show them card I pay them with, let them call me and verify my phone # is the same as is on a file. To no avail. No ID, nobody care to help.

    When spoke to the store manager, Ayan, she just added numbers of "nos" to the above offering and pleas for help. When I told her that last times I was to that store people were more kind, she started attacking me that I was "offending," her. When asked what was the offence she replied that I said that people who helped me in the past were more kind than her and therefore I was telling that she "is not kind." I told her to stop twisting my words and assign labels to them inappropriately. That her being unkind to my needs is not offence but perhaps something she can work on. No help, accusation and absent customer skills.

    Called Telus, 1 h 15 min wait time, same answers. So, it is OK on a phone to provide your PIN and be considered right person but in a store despite giving date of birth, address, PIN, log in to your own account and phone in my hand they can ring and verify is not OK. I'm totally puzzled. If that is your policy, Telus, change it and accommodate your customers. The main reason I came to the store is still unsolved. (((

    Original Review: Sept. 16, 2022

    Trying to communicate with Telus Mobility customer service is very hard. It generally took more than an hour and a half to get through to someone. Upon getting through to a customer representative on three occasions, they needed to get someone else to assist and then said they would call me back. They never called back when agreed upon. We generally agreed to a 2 to 3 hour window the next day to resolve the issue. Issue was that they signed me up to plans that I was never able to get to work and now they are sending me to collections for not paying for these.

    Let's face it. If there were a cheaper alternative, we'd be using it, but sadly we're subjected to outrageous prices due Canada's poor enforcement of laws around monopolies. Honestly, had a terrible experience with Telus (and Shaw). Three times now, I've moved to a new place, booked a month in advance, just to be told there's some unforeseen issue technicians didn't anticipate and have to wait another month because all the technicians are overbooked. Yet when dealing with a smaller ISP like Novus, they were able to resolve the issue with no trouble. If only Novus was available everywhere. I would never deal with Telus again. Why are our ISPs trying to squeeze profits from consumers during a recession?

    Salesperson promised 24 months plan at $135 monthly for 3 lines. The billing department will charge you 27 months. The first 3 months they will charge you almost full price. They said because the discount price takes about two months to apply for my accounts. So end up I have paid two months for regular price then have 24 months for the discount price. But the salesperson never mentioned full price monthly charge for almost three months. Those 3 months addition to the 24 months is hidden cost.

    3. I contacted the press, CCTS again to reconnect my phone which my elderly father uses. It's been a few days and not a peep from them. I even contacted the MP in my area.
    4. Is it legal to disconnect without notice? How about not providing contracts, invoices or bills and no access to the Telus portal.

    5. Security services never worked correctly from the start. Even had a murder next door and our cameras couldn't help the police as the Internet was not sufficient.

    This is beyond frustrating and a key reason we need to bring in the big players from the US to make the service quality and prices better.

    This once was a good company. Now they do not deserve one star. They break agreements. Create errors etc. But that is not the biggest part of the story. I have been with them 20+ years. They have a system that allows a call back and they apparently decide which days to enable it. Last few times - had to wait on hold over an hour because they could not be bothered to enable a system that lets you get a call back. That shows you how much they hate their customers. I am hold as I write this 1 hour. A billing mistake of $72. Their fault 100%.

    On hold over an hour twice last week. They are in front of the CRTC this week asking permission to clip customers for additional fees to pay by credit card. Unbelievable. These are the same customers they screw over by not having enough employees to answer the phone -- for billing -- putting people on hold over an hour. Sure credit card fees. Best advice is stay away. Get a bargain basement crap company that has garbage service for the cheapest you can pay. Why pay a premium price for the top three companies to charge you extra to treat you like crap?

    Months ago, Telus came to upgrade our security system. They were using ADT their new acquired business, to do the job. They showed up and did a partial job. The 2 men said they would be back to complete the job. Since then, no follow up, no calls, no emails, nothing. I have called every week to find out what is happening. No one at Tekus knows. They didn’t even know the names of the men that came to my house! Finally they found the project manager of the job. He didn’t even know the names of the people that came. He said he would follow up- guess what- he never did. I keep getting calls from Telus asking what I want. When I tell them they say they will look into it and get back to me. They never do. They just call again, and ask what I want. There is no way to talk to anyone in the ADT division of Telus. They say they are doing it, but they aren’t. No one is scheduling anything.

    I use ADT in Florida and it’s run much better than Telus. You actually are given contact people who know your file and installers. What really concerns me too- was who were the installers? If Telus can’t figure it out- that’s a big concern for me. It now concerns the safety of my property and family. DO NOT USE TELUS AND ADT for your security needs in BC.

    Telus has a virtual assistant that can't direct or read messages properly. Customers want to speak to actual people. The hold time after wasted time with the virtual assistant is usually 1 to 2hr wait times. Put on hold several times through call because the staff isn't trained properly to answer questions nor do they have any authority to help or fix anything outside of their 5 guided notebook steps.

    Also Telus has a safety feature to stop robot calling. Thus forcing the caller to press a random single number to get through to you. Which is awesome. It has stopped many spam calls. The fault in it is that Telus robot calls you. Therefore, they can't get through to you because of the safety code number required. Their very own safety protocol ** them over from giving call backs because these idiots are going all virtual assistant and no longer are willing to give actual honest customer support. So whomever is in charge of their digital age programming should be fired for absolute stupidity.

    Ended up losing my job so I called in to have my cable turned off to keep my bill manageable. Unfortunately they wouldn't disconnect my cable service until my bill was at zero, after two months of only being able to make partial payments my service was suspended, fast forward two months and had an outstanding bill of 600 which I cleared. I was told my services would be reconnected so I waited a few days and nothing happened so I called back and they told me that my account was disconnected due to lack of payment and to get it reconnected I would have to pay an additional 234 for a disconnect fee that would be credited to my account after I resumed service so on my next pay period I put 240 on my account and waited for my service to resume.

    It was turned on for two days then it was shut off again, so called back in and asked what the deal was. I was told that I would have to put an additional 234 on the account for a disconnect fee and it would be credited to my account when I showed them that I made that payment the week before I was told that I was charge for the previous months' services when I stated that I was told before that my account wasn't suspended but disconnected hence the disconnect fee they were unwilling to help what so ever unless I paid the additional 234. So in the end I paid for two months of service I didn't receive cable included which I wanted turned off 4 month previous and didn't use and was billed for both a month I was disconnected threw and a disconnect fee. This took over a month of calling back and forth and nothing was resolved besides Telus robbing me of money. Look for a better service provider their customer service alone makes it not worth it.

It's worth it. Do not be drawn into great deals, because they mysteriously disappear without any warning. They do not tell you that, but suddenly your bill jumps. Stay well away.

    I was with Telus for over 10 years and in 2018 cancelled and went with another provider for a better deal. Number ported over everything was fine with the mobile switchover. Went in to Telus store and called a rep with the store employees to cancel data on my IPad now to my knowledge that was done. Fast forward 3+ years to 2022 and Telus has sent out a balance to collections. After speaking to Telus customer service The IPad data was never cancelled so a $5 monthly bill accumulated to a balance of over $150.00. Telus sent zero notifications either by mail, phone or email. Instead they sold our wrongful debt for pennies on the dollar to General Credit Services. When I asked the agent why would Telus not just send a letter or give me a phone call at least ONCE in 3 years of not receiving a payment? Telus treats its customers like garbage. Stay away.

Since I had only been with Telus for 2 weeks I had no online account set up and had not received my bill for the few weeks I was with them. It had slipped my mind honestly until 6 weeks later I receive an email informing me that I have been brought to collections for a late payment ($61). Also my credit score dropped 110 points! I called Telus right away and informed them I hadn't received my bill from them so I it slipped my mind and I would make the payment right away. They said they would remove it from my file but they have not.

    This is ridiculous and unreasonable. I have tried calling them several times to follow up but my calls go in circles from automated menu to automated menu until eventually I end up getting a recording that they are not taking any calls at this point.

    I'm writing about the experience I had with Telus the past 5 or so months on behalf of the company I work for. We wanted to get a landline phone # transferred from one location to another. We've done this many times before with other companies without much trouble. This process with Telus required 3 different site visits. I have lost count on how many time I called Telus to try and sort out why this service request wasn't completed. Every time I called I had to reexplain the entire situation (even though at the end of each call the agent assured me I'd not have to reexplain in future). Every time I reexplained I got different information and advice back. No consistency. Was put on hold. Was transferred. Had calls dropped.

    I'd guess I spent 30+ hours on the phone with Telus. I never lost my cool, I always considered that it's likely not a staff person problem but rather a structural issue with Telus. I did encounter 2 very helpful staff along this process which were the ones to actually resolve things. However, I'm now taking time to write as I just found out the account I'd cancelled months ago we're still being charged for. So... guess I'll have to get back on hold, hope I get a decent representative and hope I things work out! I never had this issue with Telus when I was in Alberta. This seems to be a BC-specific issue.

If I'm not mistaken he might be of Filipino accent and I think he was working from home (I can hear the chickens from background noises). It seems he just WOKE UP the way he answered he is like yawning when he answered. He asked whats the issue and I told him this and that and he said (NONVERBATIM) ,"Okay, I'll put you on hold.

    For context, for the last half of a year or so, my internet has been having issues where my internet would constantly drop in and out without any reason, and while I called TELUS about it, they genuinely could not figure out the issue. My family picked up the TELUS Gigabit Fibre plan a few months ago, which finally meant there would be a technician over, but after the installation, the internet was still running at 90-100 MBPS. It took a total of three technicians being sent over just so they could fix the issues with the Fibre not working, and while the Fibre is now working, my internet is still not working correctly, despite half a year passing of me griping to TELUS support about my broken internet.

    The shocking part was that the second technician that came over had told us they would begin charging us if we would have to send another technician over. Hearing that across the room was shocking to me, that we would have to be charged EXTRA for a service that wasn't even set up properly. The last technician they sent over, the "senior" technician was competent enough to fix it and said the issue was somewhere along the lines of "bad termination". Still, they did not care to fix the issue about my dropping internet, which was disappointing. Half an hour ago my internet cut out again, so here I am truly fed up, writing a review about my infuriating experience with TELUS.

Therefore, he said there wouldn't be any amount due in January and only partial amount in February.

    Just got the January bill and the only thing showing is the $100 credit. They are incompetent and not customer service oriented at all. Now have to stress out and call them back about all this.

    Started company conversion from landline to VOIP Feb 2021 - many screw-ups by Telus, not completed till June 2021. All lines, setup, etc were installed prior to contacting Telus. Their incompetence in project management and follow through was the root cause of all delays. Likely, due to no one actually being responsible for true project management (most are contractors vs. actual telus employee).

    Subsequent to this - mobility account required transfer from company to personal. Really, good service - 6 to 8 hours on hold attempting to get someone to take payment for outstanding amount and transfer account from business to personal - not accomplished. Only way to get their attention was to move phone number to different supplier - causing account to close. Two months later before notification by mail requiring payment of outstanding amount. Three hours on hold, transfers back and forth to make payment and get copies of statements sent to email (which the person said they could not due). If you are going to use telus please be aware of their NON-EXISTENT business etiquette, service, logic?

    Doorbell camera takes multiple attempts to connect when you want to view it from a phone or even the hub provided and is slow, to the point where in an emergency it’s useless (can’t blame internet connection as that's also Telus and we pay extra for a faster connection). You also have to pay extra if you want the camera to notify you of movement smaller than a person 2ft away from the doorbell. Internet drops out and lags regularly (we live in a city). Terrible picture quality on their doorbell camera compared to a Vivint camera from 8 years ago. Thermostat doesn’t read the correct temperature in the house and goes on and off when it shouldn’t.

    Customer service is useless as you spend hours on a call with them while they say they’re running tests which never fix anything. Then say they’ll have some call you back, which never happens. Then their sales people knock on your door and ask how your service is. You provide feedback and concerns and never hear from them again.

They won't help when there are issues. They trick you into paying for things you don't want. More than half the time the internet is out and they never know why and can't help. After 20 years I can't wait to say goodbye to Telus. I will also be taking my cell phone services somewhere else. they don't deserve anyone. Money greedy company that doesn't care about its customers.

    Called into a customer service rep about inquiries of home security. Now Telus bought out ADT and I was a ADT customer previously. No word of extra charge this or extra charge that. The tech comes and tells me of all the extra charges. Remove old panels and install new ones $50 bucks each. My alarm can’t be wired to the old alarm so will need new sensors, that's an extra charge. I now have talked to a manager about having a tech come back and take all the supplies back. I have sat at my house for over and hour since they told me 8 am - 9 am. No one called no one showed.

    Call in and they don’t know what’s going on. So this time slot was booked by an area manager not a regular customer service rep. So fed up with Telus and their hidden fees. Waste of my day and time. I wish I could send them an invoice to charge them for my wasted day. I feel that should be something cause time is money. I bet if everyone sent them an invoice for wasted time they would straighten their ** up.

    Transferred from Rodgers due to no coverage in Northern BC and Telus has monopoly. Changed 2 lines over. One line took two days to transfer and work. Other took five days to work; so without a phone for a week. Had to do the research myself as the company told me it was rogers issue. Called Rogers to confirm it wasn't was a telus porting issue. 8 hours of phone calls to get info between. Still charging me a $50 connection fee for 1 wk no service.

    Phone now on fritz and needed new one. Called to get a new one and spent one whole day between 6 different sets of individuals from several different departments to quote me two totally different quotes on the same phone and line (also sent to outlet store). Transferred me to a loyalty specialist to work something out and had to transfer me because they couldn't deal with the issue. Departments only trained to do one thing. Don't communicate thoroughly amongst each other. Misleading information. I'm ready to go somewhere's else but have no other option as a Telus monopoly for towers up here. It hasn't even been two weeks yet and I feel like I need to wash the filth off after dealing with this company.

    Salesmen said Telus would buy out my remaining contract and cancel my account with Virgin if I switched over. I agreed. They did not cancel the Virgin account and also billed me for the Telus account. When I called customer service they said they can't verify what the salesmen said nor do they have access to billing. I am left with 2 different providers, 2 monthly bills and one cell phone. Never trust these people. All liars and scammers.

    We get charged a fairly high amount, every month like clockwork for continuous high-speed internet. We even have a booster. Yet every single day starting around 6 or 7 pm our internet vanishes. Everything goes into loading screens and all the streaming services that we use say we don't have enough bandwidth and this fight goes on as late as midnight. Telus is a ripoff. Do not pay for their services. They know there is a problem and they refuse to do anything about it. They owe us a lot of money. Sadly our internet is bundled with a family member's phone service and we don't have much say. I am dropping these jerks as soon as possible.

    I just had the worst experience with Telus after long standing relationship with them. I called last month to renew my plan and get a new phone. I was told that my plan will not change but will be enhanced and I will be charged $50 for activation fee to discover that they charge me $167 and made me pay some taxes upfront that I haven’t been aware of and they’re also overcharging me on my bill by 20 bucks for the phone which I wasn’t told. When I called and asked for an escalation and tried to return the phone on the basis of breach of contract they told me, "You missed the 30 day window to return it and you are stuck with it!" .. Can you believe that! And they call themselves a big company, what a joke. I will be disconnecting all my services and make sure others know!

    My brother-in-law canceled Shaw service for my 83 year old mother-in-law because Telus said they would install service the next day, September 16. It is October 2 and she still does not have service. No phone or any way to communicate or to call for help. According to Telus, a 83 year old woman who lives alone is not a high priority.

    I have been with Telus for over 20 years. In that time they constantly try to scam you every chance they get. When your internet contract runs out (only good for 2 years) it automatically resets to highest paid/worst service billing. Once you catch the discrepancies on your bill, you call to readjust your package to the previous. They don't reimburse you for your excessive bill and say, "Sorry it's all we can do." I pay for 72mbps and often only get around 15mbps. Calling technical support is a joke, expect to be on hold for hours. I need to contact them on a monthly basis regarding our slow (if any) internet service, so they can "update the software".

    I also receive emails stating I'm over my data usage for the month, when I have an unlimited package. Telus tries to squeeze every Nicole they can from you at every chance they get. You will always need to be on guard for hidden fees and contract spikes. If you have any other option than Telus, take it. One of the worst companies out there.

    Great at first, when everything was installed. Just a simple system on all the doors and to room monitors. But first the batteries went within 6 months, and had a service call. This has happened at least 4 times over the 5 years. Alarm goes off and police attend, and we get a Bill from the police department. This happen 5 times. They don't investigate, they leave every problem to the customer to sort out. Even to the point of the police locking the door and the alarm goes off again 2 min. later. I always contended that someone was in the house. After selling our house and just being on the phone for 130 mins. to cancel. I get a surprise of 90. to cancel because we renewed over the phone in 2019. Who does this ** and gets away with it. On month to month we thought after the first 3 year contract, but just another rip off. Change of ownership has done nothing in improve this company. Stay away.

    I have been a business customer of Telus for over 20 years. During that time, I have never had fewer than six phones, but now I am in the process of switching carriers. In any other industry or country, their actions would be criminal. I got a quote to renew the contract for five phones this year. The Telus dealer said the best deal would be if I also signed up for an ADT security system because of a special promotion, even if I didn't need a security system - which I did not. I asked to see the paperwork. Upon review, the ADT system was for a longer contract term than the phones. I signed nothing and ordered nothing - neither new phones nor security system.

    While I continued to pay my monthly Telus invoice for all existing phones, as expected, I started to receive a new monthly invoice for $5.84 with a different account number. I spoke with a Telus customer service rep. after a 47 minute wait on the phone. She could not tell me what the invoice was for and that I should ignore it. The same invoice came the following month, this time with a late payment service charge. I called and spoke again with a Telus customer service rep and after 1 hour, 13 minutes on the phone I was told it concerned a security system. Really? I never ordered a security system, and what kind of security system do you get for $5.84?

    Later the same day, I spoke twice with the Telus fraud department. They told me that they were starting an internal investigation and that they would cancel the invoice. Well, you guessed it. The invoice arrived again this month and it is now up to $6.16. I just paid it because my time is worth more than the invoice amount. Telus is a gong show, or a criminal enterprise. Take your pick.

    Run, do not walk away from this company. They consistently charge double what you can get from other cell phone providers and they scam you any chance they get. They have decided to charge me $310 at the end of my contract with them because I changed to a different provider and they refuse to honour the “bring your device back” program. Apparently it’s in the fine print of a contract that I signed two years ago and it is vital information that I should “obviously” know yet it’s not worth them putting it into the instructions on how to return the device that they linked me to on their website. Complete garbage scam artists. I’m disgusted.

    Worst company and customer service ever. I ordered an iPhone 12 online and I never got the delivery. Telus wanted nothing to do with helping us out. They kept defending UPS saying they got proof of delivery which was my name, on the box. So finally my husband found the phone, box, cable, SIM card all shewed up in the yard. Because probably UPS guy throw it and left. And Telus refused to reimburse or send me a new phone saying it’s not their problem. They delivered, even though no one was home and UPS just threw it anywhere. We lost $1200. Telus is the worst company in the world. Most expensive and worst customer service.

    When I purchased a new home, as internet was included, I called Telus 3 1/2 weeks in advance of my move date, to cancel my services. As I am newly retired, the rates charged for cable and home phone are now far out of my budget. The service rep was extremely helpful and offered me a great deal that fit within my budget, so I decided to keep my cable and land line and organized the move in date/transfer of services date with him.

    As I did not receive a confirmation email or text the day before the technician was scheduled to come install my services, I took it upon myself to call them to confirm. I was told that, although their records showed I had an appointment for the following day, their system had erroneously canceled my appointment and I would now have to wait another week. I explained that was inadequate and, after an hour on the phone with 3 different people, the final rep I spoke was rude and cut me off. When I attempted to call back, I reached a recording that said their offices were now closed (it was only 7pm).

    The next day I called back stating I wanted the appointment I had been promised for that day. After again speaking to numerous reps I was finally put through to the expedited case department. They said they were unable to guarantee an appointment for that day, but would do their best and assigned me a case number. They then provided me with a direct phone number to reach their department. I waited around all day, but they were unable to keep their original promise of sending a technician to install my services that afternoon. The next day (a Wednesday), they called to reschedule a technician to come install my services the following Sunday (5 days later than my original appointment). The catch was, I would have to remain home 9 hours to wait, as the appointment time frame was from 8am to 5pm.

    I waited all day long, only to receive a call from the technician at 5:10pm, saying he would be at my home in 15 minutes. When he arrived, he informed me there was no cable at my new residence, so he was unable to hook up neither my cable nor my landline. However, he assured me that he would write up a work order to have the cable installed, work which would be done within the following day or, at the latest, in 2 days (by Tues) and then Telus would send a technician to hook up the services. He had located the hub nearby and explained it would be a relatively easy job to complete. No work crew from Telus showed up Mon or Tues.

    Since Wednesday I have left 3 phone messages at the "expedited" direct line, and I also emailed them. Not one person from Telus has attempted to respond back, either by phone or email. It is now almost 2 weeks since the original appointment date for installation of services. Moreover, Telus has emailed me an invoice for the previous amount charged for services, not the deal I was promised, even though I have not had any services from them in 2 weeks. Furthermore, they are still charging me for internet, which I cancelled with them over a month ago. There are no words strong enough to express my disappointment in the shoddy, disrespectful way they treat their customers.
