I have been Telus Customer since 11 years. Whenever I call them they keep me on hold for long time and first verification will go and then the agent will transfer to another specialized team or loyalty team and again the verification will go in the loop. Each and every step it takes hours together. This very bad service. Each time calling take me minimum two hours to maximum 3 or 4 hours. This is very very unfortunate and regrettable. Most of the times, the agent will promise you that he/she will call you next day with a scheduled time. But never you will receive the call. They break the promise. It makes me to call them again, the wait time will go in a loop or cyclic order. This concludes worst service from Telus.

Don’t waste your time and money for this organization. They will charge you every time for the services which you didn’t even know exist. The customer service are lying and everyone is changing the information which they providing each time you are calling.

Updated on 09/13/2024: They all said the same thing: that TELUS would not charge me at all. Even Mr. ** (the Sales) says, there will be no charge for the first 15 days to try the device (Smart Hub). It was not waiting for 15 days. I called him again the next day after being delivered, to cancel the service since this device can't be used at my cafe, as the really poor signal in our area. What we need is a landline instead. All of TELUS CS assured me would not get any charge! And TELUS never email anything until today, Sep 12, saying my bill is overdue! Despite of the amount they charged, this is so unprofessional to be happened by a big company like TELUS. I asked all of them from July till today, how to return the device. They all said TELUS will send me an email of the airway bill stating where to deliver it back, which I haven't received anything.
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. Some even put me through another hour, to talk to another CS, which I believe their friend. I couldn't reply the email from their billing team, as it says their memory is full. And I could not even call the closest branch (Koodo, Park Royal), as they put a robot voice then shut off after a while. It's so hard to communicate with TELUS people, really. They only active talking with you to be their new customer, and forget it after.
Original Review: On July 4, 2024, Telus sent a device, Smart Hub, under AC# ** and unfortunately it didn't work in my cafe, so I called their CS just to return the device, but never solved. I called more than 10 times with average waiting time to talk to their CS is 35 - 65 minutes after listening the robot auto voice. The CS are located not in Canada, but in the different countries, El Salvador, Morocco, Philippines, and from time to time I have to read them the detail of my account, ID, reason to cancel the service, etc. It's so frustrating! I simply just want to return back the device and do not expect Telus prolong this item with me and charge me after. If there's a minus of rate for the experience, I will definitely choose that.

I’ve been having Internet, Landline and Optik TV issues with Telus for at least couple of years. The customer support for this company is based outside of the country and communications and comprehension issues plus trying to resolve the issues have been very challenging and they never put you through to your local support instead they’ve closed my file a few times pretending the issues were fixed! Eg. I’ve been having issues with outbound international calls since last October. I’ve been calling Telus almost on a weekly basis, it is now August 2024 and I’m still getting the runaround. Why can’t someone local in Burnaby, pay a visit to my home to get this resolved. I’m just so fed up with this company!! I know a lot of companies want to save money and outsource but at what cost?

I have been a Telus customer for over 15 years. Recently their upgrades with ai and self support are absolutely atrocious. 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.

The worse company, quality of equipment and services to deal with! I am now on hold for 2 plus hours attempting to have issues resolved. This has NOT been the first time. In addition to billing issues (3 calls), 3 of 4 cable boxes require replacement for the 3rd time, truly unbelievable. There are in addition, boosters on every floor and still issues! 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! They advise I will be responsible to pay the penalty if I choose to cancel my contract early, how is this allowed? An absolute RACKET!

Telus TV services in the White Rock area do not work at all. They're a horrible company to deal with. We've used Telus for many years. When we upgraded to the new system we had nothing but problems for months. Lots of technical support came out to try to fix the issues but could not. I paid my final bill and received another $9.60 in charges. Now I can't pay it and I've been on hold for over 3 hours trying to make a payment and cannot. Do not go to Telus. They are the worst company to deal with for TV services.

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.

Phone works for a few seconds then says I'm not registered on network. Tried every setting, tried restarting phone. Stuck in Mexico, with no phone or data. Lost money because I couldn't access email to show receipt for a tour. Customer service doesn't care, couldn't reach except by Facebook and they send me on an endless loop. My advice: avoid Telus. There is no Customer service if you have a business account. Very, very, very upset that I'm out $550USD for the tour they wouldn't let me on (vacation in Mexico) because I couldn't access my emailed receipt, can't make or receive calls. Only able to access web via wifi now that I'm back at resort. This is the WORST Customer I've EVER experienced.

The internet speeds in my 2 bedroom condo through Telus is trash. It frequently drops to ~0.15 mbps download speeds (tested through multiple sites). Despite having wifi boosters in each bedroom and the router in the living room, it is still rare that there is a good wifi signal. There has been several attempts to contact Telus and have them come and fix it, but they have been no help. I would not recommend using Telus.

Telus employee fraudulently signed me up for services I refused (email thread supporting this). Despite telling multiple Telus employees (and attempting to send image of email thread to Telus which I was directed to send to an email address that was bounced back for being 'full') Telus ultimately sent the bill to collections. Fortunately, it's under my business name and will have no impact on my credit. Next time Telus sees me it will be in court.

I would put zero stars if I could. Telus overcharged us for years, claiming that they had certain quality of internet when it was never installed in our area! We left Telus for 2 years and decided to go back based on promotion pricing. Since installation (6 days ago) we have not have the Optik TV. 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. Worst customer experience. We will never be going back to Telus.

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.

Telus owes me a large credit for an overpayment I made on my account and after 3 months of promises "the cheque is in the mail". I am now being told that there is an error with the payment I made back in January and that they are unable to refund my credit balance. Won't tell me what the error is, but it came out of my account and I have their own statement showing the payment was applied to my account so having a very difficult time understanding where the error is. They just keep saying to go to my financial institution and have the payment reversed by them. Customer service does NOT exist at Telus. They do not "resolve" any issues but fabricate weak excuses and push you onto the banking system. Will be cancelling my account as soon as the credit balance is used up.

I am having great difficulty getting in touch with any of the Telus Reps. Long waits on hold, difficulty trying to access the Telus Agents. 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. It would be nice if we had a company that provides telephone and internet and TV services that actually cares about their customers.

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.

March 2024 payment was mis-applied to 1 of 2 accounts. Called to have the proper payments allocated to each account in March. After speaking to 3 different departments and the matter being transferred to a 4th department, the best they could do was transfer the credit on the one account over to the other account. Not at all satisfactory for something that should have been a simple fix. Nevermind the challenges dealing with Telus if you live or have an office in a rural area where the phones go down frequently. And I had to call them 3 or 4 times to have a phone cancelled because they just kept billing us each month. No one seems to have any authority to do even the simplest tasks. Clearly customer service is NOT a priority with Telus.

I couldn’t pass this amazing deal up of course and locked in for two years. In order to try the Telus box however, I need to log into to my Telus account to set up the box. I chose to pass this silly step and stick with the smart tv that already has my favourite apps and I am already logged into. The box now sits there collecting dust without being used. Thanks for the great deal Telus, but lower your carbon footprint and keep your silly device.
As for Telus Mobility, horrible speeds throughout the lower mainland. Please stick with Rogers. My friend switched to Telus from Rogers for the $100 reduction in monthly plan cost. Rogers then called her back, matched the month to month plan cost and she did not hesitate to go back, thanks to the lightning speed of Rogers over dial-up speed Telus.

I spent one hour and 57 minutes over the phone with Telus loyal customer service and didn’t resolve anything. They suggested to send a technician to check why my 1 gigabyte internet only has download less than 380, but they never mentioned they would charge me $150 for the check up. I was asking to be transferred to a manager about the long wait, Laura called me back and she said she would call me back after her investigation, but she never did which was over a week ago.

I had two serves with Telus back in 2018. I moved one of the services at location not serviced by them. I closed the account and returned all equipments. Asked for my final bill on the account and settled it. I continued using the other account till 2021 again moved to where telus doesn't service. The closing account process was repeated. On March 19th I received a call from collection agency about balance on an account from 2019 demanding payment or it will be reported credit bureau. I spent over an hour trying to make sense as to where this balance appeared. I was told they emailed me.
I was finally transferred to an outsource agent Identifying herself as Jessica. I quickly discovered that she can't solve my problem and asked for her manager to which she said this is as high as I can go. At this point I asked for the email they sent. She forwarded me to their privacy who asked me to emailed a request. I did I am got nothing. Keeping in mind that I was still their customer, I expected to have been contacted about a bill I believe was generated after closing the account. I will never deal with Telus and will warn people who care to listen. It is a horrible experience.

Cancelled Service two months ago and still getting billed for either the Bring it back device which I already returned or Interest or something. Cannot call Telus easily because of their stupid automatic bot system they have. I had a lot of other issues previously as getting charged for local calls when on a nationwide calling plan. They refunded me the charges but skipped on the taxes which were like $1-2 and I ignored that. Their customer service is horrible as well. Whenever you call them they are trying to find stupid excuses and no explanation. The calls go overseas and when I request them to transfer the calls locally, the experience is not any better. Had no issues with TELUS ever before and the service went from 100 to 0 in 2023.
I don't check my bill regularly but I advise everyone to check their bills because companies like Telus generate their profits through extra charges that they call as mistakes with No apology. I am with Koodo prepaid currently because I am getting PTSD from calling Telus again and again for calling/messaging charges on an unlimited plan. And I am a person who got 20 Gb data and only use 2 Gb every month, calls 1-2 times a week and hardly message anyone. I am actually thinking to be done with Koodo was well and get a extremely cheap prepaid plan. Telus is like harassment every time you call them and ask they why you are charged for local calls on an unlimited nationwide plan. I am fearing Koodo making me go through the same so I want to be done with them for good.
I called them today for charging me for Bring it back device that I returned 2 months ago and ported out and also cleared the bill on the same day. Not realizing that telus would still find a way to charge me for something. I called koodo today and she said the mistake is corrected and hardly apologized. The charged for BIB and interest on that was resolved. Bill was zero. Now by the end of the day I have another payment of $3 for this month.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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".

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!

I was helped by Anthony but he had no clue about anything. He kept on asking his coworker for help and I felt bad for the coworker because he was dealing with a rude customer. I do not know if he is cut out for this job or needs more training but he is so bad at his job. If not for his coworker I would have gone with Bell even though I was with Telus for 5+ years.

It’s almost impossible to get help. I’ve made six phone calls to them in a week including one today that I was on hold for for two hours and four minutes regarding a simple home security request.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

They say you're getting 25 GB of shareable data for $85, but the only way you can share it is to pay ANOTHER $85, where the other line gets an additional 25 GBs. That's not sharing data, that's adding more at the same cost. Can't wait to cancel all my Telus accounts.

Four months ago received Telus' new upgrade. While the internet speed is okay (just okay) the wifi is horrible. My computer is REALLY slow, we are unable to watch TV at night, sometimes cannot watch in the evening at all and sometimes we are unable to watch past 11pm. Nothing in the house other than the Telus routers and TV are on wifi at that time. Try Shaw - Telus is horrible.

When I bought my phone from Telus they told me Apple Care no longer existed so I had to go with Device Care (A lie! Apple care is 100% better don’t get device care!). So here I am a year later with a broken phone in my Otter box case and Asurion and Telus are telling me I have to pay $400+ FOR A USED PHONE!! I’m sorry what?! And the lady on the phone kept telling me to repeat steps I already had finished. A supposed “2 day process“ turned into way longer…Such a scam! A very irritating experience!

6 months ago I ordered new Samsung and Apple phones for my husband and myself. My Samsung has never worked properly. I can't download files or apps or connect with my Bluetooth. I have been calling Telus since the 1st month. Each call is 1hr waiting, then I am pushed from 1 department to another for up to 2 more hrs and nobody can help me fix my phone. I've gone into the telus shop and to mobile clinic and nobody can fix it. Finally I called and insisted they replace my phone, but now they say it's too late. They can repair my phone but want me to buy my own replacement phone to use while it's being fixed!!! Now my husband's iPhone won't hold a charge (he barely uses it, has no apps and few photos). Telus does not care at all. I guess their policy is to push customers around until they give up?!!

I was actually thinking of switching from Shaw to Telus, but since Telus decided to call us unsolicited TWELVE times in 29 days.... They have guaranteed that Shaw will have our business if anyone does. They border on illegal harassment. You just bothered me out of giving you $1400 a month.... Pretty ridiculous way for a huge company to operate.

Hi, I am a new Telus customer for 5G option, with 3 phones, the plan's price is ok. When I set up everything I ask about forwarding call, they explain to me how to do it, but not I have to pay + airtime? As I know everything is recorded. I call once, they told me will be fix, oops not completely. I try call again, I will have to wait 6 hrs or so to have someone on the line, no call back option. We need to have more competition with 5G service, it's a major problem in Canada, not enough population & not much competition. In few service, like food/phone/cable tv & something else for sure. Thank you.

Getting regular errors when trying to play new content. Saturday today and still unable to play shows that aired on Wednesday. Using Global/CTV/City apps instead more often than not. Customer Service is very intentionally understaffed so it is impossible to get help as an existing client. All time and resources are put into Sales of products they will NOT support.

As in summary, but add insult to injury they text you a link to your account so that you can find information you need. Problem is my online account does not supply all the information I need. That is why I need to talk them. They need to know that they do not supply all the information that I need or would be phoning them to begin with.
Alo the has become a huge issue companies trying to take short cuts by reducing services to customers thinking that customers should work for themselves by using what Telus supplies or does not supply on their accounts. This having customers do all work for them so can lay off valuable workers and claim work efficiency is much better. Why should we be paying for Telus services if we are doing their work?

Telus contacted me about installing a security system. When they installed it they disabled my doorbell. The system never worked and, although they're not charging me for it, they won't come and remove it and fix my doorbell. Had an electrician come and even he couldn't re-hook it up so now I have no doorbell. ABSOLUTELY NO HELP FROM TELUS.

The worst customer services I have never seen. The Internet speed is only 10MB (The installation guy used his own laptop to test the speed). And then, He gave a ridiculous solution. He told me I had to use cables to connect each of my computers and laptops one by one. What the hell is that?

I have spent over 13 hours on the phone with Telus now to transfer over a phone number and fax line from a previous business, in this process I also exchanged roughly 30 emails. My calls constantly got dropped while contacting the customer support, wait times reset each time, they never call back and takes an hour to go through (on off hours too), constantly got my calls dropped in between departments. Finally, after 4 months I transferred over the phone number.... I get my first bill and it is all wrong. Instead of 80$ it's 600$ and for multiple services I don't use. Phoning telus to fix it got my call dropped several times. I would not recommend telus to anyone, especially a business. On a side note, the previous owner is a senior, who they convinced to spend 300 dollars a month on a yellow pages spot for a 3 year term. Awful company, immoral, terrible support.

I was moving into a new building and they offered free internet from Telus for 1 year. Once I contacted the agent, he asked if I wanted tv as well. I asked if there was a contact and he said no, I can cancel anytime. 1 year later I decide to cancel my TV because it has never been used. When I go to speak to an agent they said I am locked in with a contract and can not cancel. After I explained the situation to them they said there is nothing I can do. Horrible.

Worst provider in my experience, internet provided by Telus is extremely brown quality, constant connection drops, low speed in general and very huge ping (absolutely not suitable for online games). Mobile coverage also leaves much to be desired + plus unknowns, advertisers or scammers constantly call, I don’t know what this is connected with, but this was not observed with other operators. I do not recommend this provider, I really regret that I had to contact them.

I reached out to Telus because they updated their Optik TV app this week and it would not work with my older Ipad now. After 45 minutes on the phone with the tech they said the update was to allow for better movie watching. I indicated Prime, Netflix and Brit box has never been a problem. They had no answer for this other than to say buy a newer iPad.
When I talked to the manager Anne she indicated there was nothing they could do and the app was just a bonus feature to Optik TV. She provided no customer service help at all. She reiterated we should buy a new ipad. When I asked for her to give us a free one because it was their issue not ours she said not going to do that and then said nothing more Telus can do and ended the conversation.
