What is it about Canada’s least trusted company that makes me distrust them?

TELUS, hated Canadian phone company, is going paperless.

We got notice in the mail. At least the ink was GREEN.

“Effect July 1, 2010 a paper bill will no longer be mailed to you.”

How do you confirm various new ways TELUS has dreamed up to rip you off if you don’t get overbilled monthly?

Simple, you check your eBill online:

“Register online at telus.com/register”

NOPE. You are redirected to the service notice page. UPDATE – that page is LIVE now.

hmmm

TELUS would really prefer people never check their phone bill. On paper. Or online.

My TELUS SCAM senses tingling, I decided my parents better continue to get their phone bill by mail.

To opt back in to the billing system they’ve had all their lives, I simply had to phone 1 877 767-7870 to confirm by automated system.

That didn’t work either. Several attempts failed. On an automated system. … I thought TELUS was a phone company? … Who does TELUS curse when their own phone system fails?

Finally I reached a human at TELUS through the regular business number. She quickly added my parents to the list of those who want to continue getting the phone bill by mail.

TELUS SUCKS. They are not worthy of your business. Go to another company, if you can. If you can’t … don’t drop the soap in the shower.

Fact is the days of any company charging my parents $65/month for very few phone calls phone and internet (not so bad) are numbered. All phone companies are stuffing money into their coffers because they know that gravy train ends soon.
