Customer Support

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - AI customer support replaces human agents.
  • - Pays for extra-fast service; experience is slow.
  • - Texts and emails warn of a Christmas Eve bill.

Just like every other mindless corporation who thinks AI Customer Support is a worthwhile way of dealing with customers. Sure you don't have to listen to us complain about your *** service and you can layoff real human beings.

I pay for 'extra' fast service and the simplest browser search reminds me of my AOL dialup days. And don't bother trying to blame it on everyone and everything but you. We use Macs/PC's, Both are the best of the best, we have tried every browser on the planet...Android...IOS...it's all the same. Our phones won't even connect right next to the router.

Great thing is there are no options as there are only two companies and know full well they will get away with this kind of crap. I will say they are very festive as I got multiple texts and emails warning me my bill was due on Christmas Eve...classy move by a classless, utterly useless company. I am certainly NOT proud you are Canadian. You are a disgusting disgrace...well done.

And Merry Christmas, I overpaid my bill so now you owe me money...here's your Christmas Eve reminder...morons.

Why do we have to give them 'one' star? They certainly do not deserve anything close.

Pros:
  • Get paid for laying off customer support folks
Cons:
  • Good word con it is exactly what describes their service

Preferred solution: I want nothing...it's what I expect. A useless pandering apology? No thanks. It's as meaningless as their Customer Service.

User's recommendation: Advice? Ha...That's Funny...Move To Roger's...An Even More Despicable Company.

Can I cancel my current plan which ends in March?

My current plan ends in March. Can I transfer my number to another provider without penalty? Can you reply, please?

$240

Preferred solution: I have a plan with you that ends March 2026. Can I go to another provider without penalty? In other words cancel my current plan without penalty.

Zero customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - A 30-year Telus customer says service has regressed; 14-minute hold to reach an agent and a 46-minute call that was dropped.

I attempted to contact Telus multiple times in hopes of speaking to an agent. The first time I was on hold for 14 minutes before hanging up.

The second time was 46 minutes before the call was dropped. I have been a Telus customer for 30 years and cannot believe how far they have regressed in their customer service.

Dissatisfied

AI Highlights
  • - Telus promised a bundle at my current price with upgrades.
  • - A $25 city emergency service fee was added.
  • - Home security isn’t worth it and is unreliable.
Original review updated Mar 20, 2025

A telus rep came to my door and talked me into home security, internet and mobile for same as what I'm paying for internet and mobile with previous service providers. I was told that I could upgrade my phone any time (just wait 2 months he said) and the mobile bill will stay the same.

That was absolutely false!

Then I had an additional $25 tacked on my security bill that I wasn't expecting - a city emergency service fee.

Second, I realize that home security isn't worth having - a waste of my money for a renter, unnecessary expense for a low income single person.

It was a dumb decision but on top of that I've had to have the deadbolt replaced once already within 4 months because it won't work with the passcode. A tech came prior to redo the passcode, it worked twice then quit.

And if the power goes out, it's completely useless.

Third, I dropped my phone and the screen cracked.

I opted in to the device care when I upgraded but with my first repair the monthly premium is going up $2. So after 24 months I will have paid $400 for device care insurance.

As soon as my 24 months are finished I'm returning to Virgin and

I Will Never recommend Telus to anyone.

Loss:
$4960
Cons:
  • Too expensive
  • Representative gave false information

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: Choose Virgin Mobile - much better customer service and never any issues

Do-it-yourself Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - No phone number; relies on online self-help.
  • - Never received a bill; unsure about charges.
  • - Roaming charge in Costa Rica; text notification only.
Original review updated Mar 14, 2025

Yes, really, they don't have a phone number. Think.

A telephone company without a phone number.

They do have on-line self-help where you act as your own customer service representative. I've never received a bill.

I don't know where the charges come from, and recently I was charged for roaming in Costa Rica. The only reason I know about that is that they texted me.

User's recommendation: Don't go near Koodoo (Telus's discount brand)

Bill is too high

I was charged $330 and an extra $330 on my January bill. This is a huge mistake on your part! My January bill should be $130 at the most.

0 stars for rating, *** poor customer service

AI Highlights
  • - Device not paid off since Nov 18, 2024.
  • - I kept a $450 credit to pay off the device by Nov 18, but Telus still charges from that credit.

My device has not been paid off since November 18, 2024 and this is unacceptable. I have made several payments to keep my account at a balance of $450 from October to November, to pay off my device at contract completion on November 18. However, Telus continues taking my monthly charge from the $450 credit I deliberately made to pay off the device by November 18, 2024, as per the end of my contract.

Pros:
  • 0 pros
Cons:
  • Poor customer service - does not deserve a single star

Preferred solution: Full refund

Extremely poor telecommunications for a telecommunications Company

Well I have had nothing but problems dealing with Telus. From camera mixup to wrong dates to getting a bill for installation that was waved.

Trying to call to sort out the bill that was a 45 min wait... my time is valuable as well so I hung up. I also got a bill for the first month that was suppose to be free. Lol cameras arrived on the 19th of Dec and I have a bill for my first month today is the 8th of January.

Good grief. Would I recommend you nope Koodoo is Great.

I have talked about bad reception and bad cell phone service. Eric , the technician have guided me how to transfer to LTE , but nothing has changed in the quality .

I still cant talk without multiple breaks . Its just horrible . Take a note , we will not change our home internet to telus until you improve the quality of your service.

And most probably we will return to Fido . Telus is
