    So @TELUS I can connect to the network without a SIM card now? No? Then charging for one is a connection fee.

    @Nuni_Sas_Yu @guyjbreton Yeah mine sucks if there’s 4 drops of rain and 15 km/hr wind. And that’s new Telus gear

    @wongkarwasian The amount of people I still find paying $100+ for like 2gb on Telus because they just pay the bill and move on sucks SO MUCH but I feel so glad when I find them and can get them moved for something better

    @CanadianPro2 @MarkJCarney You can even technically use black water by transfering heat to sewage lines which would also facilitate district heating probably even more than the steam tunnels will in the downtown Telus building. But then that fosters bad bacteria.

    Grok says: "TELUS ... strong on network quality and coverage, but often criticized for customer service, billing, and contract issues." I'm trying to get my home internet service moved and it's been *painful* so this summary is exactly right.

    I've never repeated the phrase "I don't want TV, I don't watch TV" more times in my life than when talking to Telus customer service. It does nothing to stop them. I just want internet, stop talking to me about television. TV is for seniors who are scared of the internet.

    Trying to move my Telus internet to a new apartment. Customer service quotes some absurd price. Mention I'm looking at their website and it says same service is $70/m for that location. "Thats for new customers". Telus charges more for being an existing customer?!?

    All I think of lately about Canada is negative because there isn't much positive news coming down the pipe. I'm thinking of moving us and am seriously looking into it. But I want to share something really positive tonight. Telus began here as a phone / Internet company in '98 and I used to hate them because of the many hours I spent on the phone with CSR about our internet speeds. But then they began a health program. I use Telus Health whenever I can because I still have no family doctor here in Canada - it's been 30 years. If I get one it's probably going to be through Telus Health and the work they have done. If I can go to them, I go to them instead of spending an entire day waiting in triage at any hospital or clinic. They've got it right (this is not a paid promotion, it's from the heart).

    @Sharisraven That's certainly not our intention and we're sorry you feel this way Raven. We're a DM away if you need help with your TELUS services.

    @TELUSsupport @TELUS how long does a customer need to wait on line for the next available team member? I think an hour is way too long! Do better

    @FemiOla63 @OurFavOnlineDoc Please check my status for remote job site. APPEN, and Clickworker is like bamboo dey work monkey dey chop. Very poor pay, Telus is for surveys that pays cents, Divert/Upwork are buyer seller platform where you have the Liberty to sell your skills,.. if you are looking for a remote apply to remote websites or sell your skills on Fiverr, Upwork or Freelancer.

    @TELUS "... @Telus says its SIM charge 'is not an administrative fee. A SIM card or an eSIM has always been a physical or digital product for purchase, rather than an administrative fee' [and] is meant to cover 'real costs' associated with providing a new SIM product to a customer..."🤔

    @Nuni_Sas_Yu @_satishiape Getting rid of CRTC starting a phone and internet service would be a great business after Alberta Independence. Competition was supposed to happen 20 years ago but instead Telus and Shaw bought their competitors, and the regulators let them. We need stronger anti-monopoly laws to keep competition going.

    @ryan_weal @UnkleHack69 I know, I built their networks for 30yrs. I was the head Tech. Publics another washed down VS. Telus pretending it's not a part of a monopoly. I built every technology that came along. 5G is here to control everything you own. I hate this sht now.

    @benmwine @faibanet Never be royal to these companies they don’t care about you I learnt the hard way. I for one I use Rogers communications but these guys increased my bill from 50$ to 70$ without notice I switched to Telus who gave me 40$ 1Gbps Rogers called me and gave me 1.5Gbps at 35$.

    Not to mention that @TELUSsupport called me back only to put me on hold to go find a technician. What is the point of making me enter all my info in the chat and waiting for a callback. This is a #customerservice fail Is support from @TELUS something I'll need a day off for?

    Telus has had the ability to change plans via the app for years. It just doesn't work for almost anything, so you have to call in.

    @PsudoMike telus just charged me $20 in store for a sim card the other day, this is unfortunately already a thing. the worst part is this law was passed years ago but they were given an undetermined grace period until now

    📱 Starting June 12, CRTC says no more activation fees, plan modification fees, or most early cancellation fees. Let’s see how long it takes them to comply with this… Spoiler: They won’t. Bell, Rogers, Telus and the rest will just hike base monthly rates, push harder on device contracts to keep cancellation fees alive, and invent shiny new “admin” or “service” fees with different names. Same game. Different rules. Regulating junk fees is cute. Breaking up the oligopoly and letting real competition in is what actually lowers prices for Canadians. How creative do you think they’ll get? Drop your predictions below. #cdnpoli #CRTC #Telecom

    @TELUS I sent you a dm and still no phone call. You continue to charge me when I haven’t lived there for months. No wonder everyone hates you. I’ve been a loyal customer for 26 years this is insane

    @Highteaspeaks @Bell Try to get on an employee program with either Telus or Rogers. If you don't mind issues with network coverage sometimes and the likes, then try Koodo or Fido for cheaper plans. But if you want a plan that's 5g and the likes, then I'll suggest the Big 3. Worked for them before

    @TELUSsupport I am visiting elderly friends who cannot connect to their tv service for three months and cannot get through to you. Their internet and phone working. The wife has Parkinson’s and they are at a loss. Can someone at Telus help, please?

    @TELUS The problem with that, is I don't live there. I can't do anything even if you "help". I have to set my own up, today, and if the same thing happens, you'll know.

    @TELUS Your marketing team in India is out of control. We just had our agreed-upon contract canceled after we negotiated it with someone based out of Guatemala. What the heck?? Canceling a contract so someone else can try and get the commission is a crap business model!
