  @TELUSsupport Note this part: "same-size Telus SIM card". Received another CPO iPhone (Same model) that accepted my Telus SIM card after a time-wasting replacement process. Issue should NEVER have happened. Point stands: Telus CPO program is not at all guaranteed.

  @Bell_MTSHelps The Northern lights Satellite Fight Rogers played it like a chess grandmaster while Bell, MTS, and Telus fumbled around like they were playing checkers with winter mittens on. In a country as vast and rugged as Canada, where huge swaths of land have zero cell coverage, satellite-to-mobile tech is the future for keeping people connected in the bush, on the water, or up north. Rogers saw the obvious winner and jumped in early with Starlink— Elon Musk’s low-Earth orbit beast with thousands of satellites already zipping overhead. They launched Rogers Satellite in 2025, starting with reliable texting, text-to-911, and emergency alerts on regular smartphones, then rapidly added support for popular apps like WhatsApp, Google Maps, AllTrails, and Messenger. By early 2026, they expanded it coast-to-coast (covering millions more square kilometres), tossed in free trials in places like Atlantic Canada, and just days ago rolled out seamless roaming into the US via T-Mobile’s Starlink-powered setup. No special hardware, no waiting years—real connectivity, right now, with proven performance and clear momentum toward full voice/data. Smart, decisive, and customer-first. Rogers basically turned every phone into a satellite phone where towers fear to tread. Meanwhile, Bell (and its MTS arm) and Telus decided to bet big on AST SpaceMobile, a scrappy Texas startup still scrambling to get its own satellite constellation properly off the ground lol. Bell hyped a “first” demo voice call back in 2025 and promised a 2026 launch, while Telus signed on in March 2026 with some equity investment and ground infrastructure talk. Their pitch? Future broadband, voice, and data… eventually. Late 2026 at the earliest for any real rollout, with a lot of “we’re building it” vibes and fewer actual customers using it today. The contrast is brutal and hilarious. Rogers is out here actually delivering satellite connectivity today—texts, apps, cross-border roaming—while Bell, MTS, and Telus are still waving around press releases about satellites that mostly exist as PowerPoint slides and optimistic timelines. Canadians stuck in dead zones don’t want “coming soon” promises; they want a signal when their truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Rogers chose the proven, massive, rapidly scaling Starlink network that’s already lighting up phones across the planet. Bell and Telus? They went with the long-shot alternative that’s playing catch-up. In the race to blanket Canada with space-based mobile service, one carrier sprinted ahead with the rocket ship… and the others are still warming up the backup prop plane. Right now, the industry is laughing: “Bell and Telus picked what?” While Rogers customers are sending “I’m alive” texts from the tundra, their rivals are busy explaining why their fancy future service isn’t quite ready yet. Classic Big Telecom brain fart—overthinking it, missing the obvious winner, and handing Rogers a massive marketing and coverage edge on a silver platter. Oof. That’s gotta sting. - Grok & Ai

  I can't even begin to express my extreme frustration with @telus as a company and their customer service workflow. My father passed away 3 weeks ago. I've been trying to settle his account, close accounts, pay bills, etc. I've spent 5 hours on the phone to date... 6 calls. And just received another $500+ "overdue" bill that I settled weeks ago. And you try to call their support number on their website. And instead you get a sales pitch... no opt out. So I "press #" and it kicks you out saying this number doesn't work in my calling area (I'm in Canada). So I write down the number they suggest... only to have it come right back to the same voice workflow... and the same death loop. I was able to reroute my Father's hydro bill in less than 10 minutes. I don't think Telus realizes how much potential revenue they are losing as a result of their clunky, poor quality controlled customer experience. Try to book a call back? Only to be told they will call back in three days... and when they do... the automated voice system is entirely in French.... And EVERY single rep I talk to ends up just trying to upsell me on a new service... when all I am trying to do is shut down my father's accounts, settle his bills, and move on. Every step of my experience with Telus has been unnecessarily painful.

  @TELUSsupport Hi Telus, yes, as indicated on my reply I did eventually get the issue resolved. Most support employees were lovely to talk to, there was lots of passing my issue to other people, re-explaining the issue over many hours. All good

  @telussupport Once again you finance department is full of **** and lied basically to my face over the phone. Canceling all my products with @telus was once of the best moves I have ever made financially. Go **** yourselves.

  @TELUSsupport @TELUS Loyal for 15 years. Tried calling 611 with no luck, but finally got a callback after 3 days—agent had a child crying nearby, then she hung up and never called back. This is not acceptable. Escalate to a manager or retention team, or I will consider switching

  @TELUSsupport I have received a dozen emails about my "account." I've never heard of Telus before these emails. I'm unable to communicate with the stupid bot on your website. How do I find out if I have an account or if someone impersonating me opened an account in my name?

  @Pirat_Nation In March 2026, Crunchyroll confirmed a major data breach involving approximately 6.8 million users following a cyberattack on a third-party support provider, Telus Digital. The breach occurred when hackers used malware to hijack a support agent's Okta single sign-on account, giving them 24 hours of access to Crunchyroll’s internal systems, including Zendesk, Slack, and Google Workspace. Stolen data primarily consists of customer support ticket records, which include full names, usernames, email addresses, IP addresses, and general geographic locations. In April 2026, cybercriminals offered 2 million of these customer records for sale on a specialized forum, with a single buyer reportedly purchasing a bulk set of 1.2 million records. Security researchers have verified that 1.2 million unique email addresses from this sale are now appearing in data leak databases like Have I Been Pwned. The hackers reportedly demanded a $5 million ransom from Crunchyroll to prevent the release of 100GB of exfiltrated data, though the company has not officially confirmed paying it. Crunchyroll is currently facing class-action lawsuits alleging that the company failed to implement adequate security measures and was not transparent enough with users during the initial discovery. While Crunchyroll maintains that its core user database and full financial systems were not directly breached, the exposure of support ticket history means some users' partial payment info or private messages may be at risk.
