I am preparing moving out of Alberta currently. I need terminate phone service from July. Called Telus on June 30, told that it needs 30 days advance notice for proceeding. So, I have to stay and pay for July. All right, I do. # h, x% k; w/ {8 F- w% P3 x
' w2 J1 e; s9 W7 c" X# h, _! MOn next day, Canada’s National Day, early morning, I found my phone was dead. Called Telus’ 310-2255, this is a mere access enables one reaches Telus. After a long period waiting, followed a bunch of questions for verifying identifications, I got a chance to explain the problem that forwarded and noted by several departments, and politely informed that my phone would be back in 24 hours. On July 2nd, the phone stayed same as yesterday. I repeated the same process and was advised waiting for another 24 or 72 hours. My patience was tested ultimately for another three days, and you know the result. I was trapped with this situation and could not help to check it every day. Heard always short beeps or a voice message ‘the number you have called is not …’ when I used other phone called my number. Today is July 14th, 336 hours passed, the phone is still very quiet. 1 J E$ z7 i9 f& ?6 ^7 g

Blames spread among my friends and colleagues due to my ‘French leave’: the phone was stopped suddenly and without a good-bye message. I was isolated with bank for finalizing mortgage, Insurance agent and lawyer was wondering why the customer disappeared without any foreshadow. You can imagine my trouble and how difficult without a regular communication in this Information-based society. I was also comforted by people who learnt Telus’ lessons: ‘Telus’ service is worst. I have no words about it. You’d better simply step away. Don’t involve with Telus any more’. ‘Oh, I am not surprise. Why you still use Telus. There are many choices. Its services are notorious’ … I lost my courage to invoke Telus’ customer representatives to get my phone back. However, thinking of many users are yet paying for Telus’ services, I should step out. I am seeking a way to communicate with Telus’ Responsible Person. And want a legal assistance to protect customer’s interests. ' W. ^$ X# |" C" V
Recently, a great number of new technologies are developed and applied in telecommunication industry. The competition has been ever white-hot. Telus’ market share is being eaten down by emerging competitors. Big body is no longer guaranteeing longevity. Nortel faded from people’s memory quickly. GM’s future is not optimistic. Fortunately Telus is not such bad, but its negative reputation is eroding the imperial mansion. Kids know how dinosaurs had become fossils. Does Telusaur aware what's midst itself?
