Mobility Activation Nightmare when dealing with Te

BM2583
Neighbour

After numerous calls from Telus to return my mobility services I decided I was going to do that. In My Telus they provided an offer that was hard to pass and I used the online tool to apply and selected to bring back my device. The tool did not allow multiple entries and I had to use it 5 times for 5 phones. Order email and an account were created within minutes but each application created a new account.

Four orders were processed without any issues, the fifth was stuck in order received with no update and no account created. After my first call the status was changes to additional info needed.

Seven hours of calls and two representatives could not resolve the issue and I was told that due to multiple accounts they need their backend team to validate that all accounts are in my name with 24–48-hour ETA. Their office is only open on weekdays so no updates until next week at best. Process for activation was already started with my current mobility provider for 4 phones. I asked to speak to a supervisor and retention services but they were either in a meeting or not available.

At the moment all of our services are with Telus and we will be reviewing if we want to remain with them after these issues. Extremely frustrated and reviewing my other options, I will call my current provided and stop the activation and review their home services.

Yes, multiple phones purchased by a single individual frequently triggers a fraud query and investigation.

No phones were purchased just the service and with every service drivers license was verified as well as the credit card validation. Contract number was emailed to me shortly after the creation of the account. I was able to add the account to My Telus account without any issues. I uploaded the drivers license for the agents 3 times as well as a validation of who I was but that did not help. The responses I was given by the agents were vastly different. Requested call back was never done and I had to call back this week and wait another 1.5 hours before someone answered the call. I'm still waiting to get the SIM cards. All in all this is a very poor experience and Telus had already started the activation for the phones that I'm bringing to Telus. I'm hoping that I will be able to complete the move even though I have to call Telus to complete that process. The online application for return to Telus does not allow creation of one account with multiple phones and I had to create 5 applications, this is what created multiple accounts.
