Trying to communicate with TELUS about finding a way to turn off SMS to my land line. Because SMS messages to land lines don't work.
Their annoying automated system to setup phone call appointments replies with a message saying they'll send me a SMS text message to confirm my appointment with them. #TELUS #NoCellPhone

"Telus offered buyouts to hundreds of employees across Canada
A Telus spokesperson attributed the move to increased demand for self-serve solutions"
'Increased demand for self-serve solutions'! Kiss my ass. What a f****** joke! TELUS, your service sucks balls just like the other (2 or 3?) telecom companies in Canada. You've been laying off people, moving support overseas for years and cramming chatbots and AI bullsh*t into anywhere you can get rid of people.
I don't mind using 'self-serve' solutions when they work but yours never do.
Quit lying. Tell your customers the truth that just like every other corporation you're wanting to get rid of staff and replace them with AI because staff are a pain in the ass to deal with. You want big Executive bonuses and no staff. That's your wet dream. We all know it. Be honest for once.

TELUS has announced a price hike of $7/month for mobile plans, and $5/month for Internet and TV

TELUS ont annoncé une augmentation des prix de 7$/mois sur leurs forfaits mobiles, et de 5$/mois pour les forfaits Internet et télévision

This afternoon marks the 5th attempt to call through to #TELUS to cancel my home services. This time I survived the voice prompt gauntlet & made it through to the phone queue for the 2nd time. This is the 2nd time I was disconnected while sitting in the phone queue for over 20 minutes. DO BETTER.
My hunch - TELUS will be looking for $10-$20B total valuation, looking to sell at least 49% - there are very few synergies with the rest of the TELUS business.
Given the write down in TELUS Digital, there's similar hot air in the TELUS Health business - the real value is around $1B as a standalone, maybe a little more in a merger play. The problem - there's no synergy between the TELUS Health products either, and the products aren't growing.

Une personne du Québec :flagqc: porte plainte contre les compagnies de télécommunications au CRTC au sujet des « frais cachés »

I got a sweet repeating number from #Telus about 25 years ago; before the carriers realized they could charge more for them. I have kept that number through a lot of carriers over the years. Last week, I ported it to a #VOIP provider and wow...so many features that many carriers don't offer or charge for. I pay $5 a month for voice and sms. Yes, I still need mobile data on the road so I pay a 5G provider $40/m for that but still my bill went from $110 to $45. And did I mention the features? 😁

Sprawa z działką pod CPK sprzedaną za zgodą Telusa podczas 14 dniowego rządzenia PiS po wyborach, pociąga za sobą trzy ważne kwestie i jedną konstatacje:
1. natychmiastowe odkupienie działki po pierwotnej cenie - to wciąż możliwe.
2. wszczęcie postępowania wobec Telusa.
3. wyciągnięcie konsekwencji wobec osób odpowiedzialnych, za nadzór - dlaczego wypływa to dopiero teraz. Zaczynam bowiem wątpić w szybkość prac nad projektem za obecnego rządu.
No i na koniec - w moim odczuciu tylko cud może sprawić, że Morawiecki zachowa polityczny żywot po tej aferze. Jednak jeżeli tym cudem będzie wyłącznie decyzja Naczelnika, że "go nie ruszamy", to ja po dzisiejszym wpisie Menzena na ten temat, nie widzę szans na koalicję PiS i Konfa po wyborach w 2027 roku...
Parę dni temu napisałem moje spostrzeżenia po konwencji PiS i teraz jestem jeszcze bardziej swego pewien: pożywi się Korona Brauna i właśnie Konfederacja. #CPK #działka #Telus
