Hey everyone, Just saw the tweet for this site so I thought I might just give it a try. My name is Simon I've been a customer with Telus since 2006 and I have not one complaint to make, great service and great phones. I'm have the HTC Hero and apparently I"m addicted to it (so my wife says!) lol. OH and I'm and I hope we get the 2.1 update...?
Welcome to the Community Ryan!
Not sure about the Hero 2.1 update. It's tough to say much about releases until when/if they actually happen (there are so many variables), but I will investigate. If I find something I can post, I will reply here.
Thanks
Hey Kukussi - I was talking to the HTC rep just the other day and he told me they are aiming for April 2010, so it may be soon! FYI check out the Phonalyzr app it's great if you love stats. Cheers
That's an awesome news! I was starting to be scared that we weren't gonna get that update! And for Phonalyzr app, Already have it and love it! Another question will Telus come out and give an official statement or will keep in sealed until the actual update is available?
Cheers
I don't know offiicially, but I would assume if you followed HTC and TELUS on twitter it would be broadcast there upon release. I'm keeping a close eye on their feeds right now. With such a massive jump in OS ver it's going to be interesting to see that difference that makes.
Hello all.
My name is Jon Arnold, and I'm an independent telecom/tech strategy analyst based in Toronto. I've been to the site a few times, and wanted to introduce myself. I really like this site, and you've got a lot of good ideas here to build community and engage with thought leaders. Portals like this can be of great value to help educate your customers and get them to try new services. I'll have more feedback as I spend more time here, and I look forward to contributing thought leadership and participating in the various discussions.
Welcome to the Community Jon!
I was born in the UK and have lived in Ontario for the past 17 years. After being diagnosed with breast cancer twice I decided to return to school and whilst finishing my course I founded Motivational Steps. My passion is speaking and I love to be on the stage inspiring and educating the audience to make their own success and live their lives to the fullest. A couple of years after founding Motivational Steps I co-founded the Small Business Community Network to help small businesses enter the world of business networking in a friendly and affordable environment. We offer regular monthly meetings, special events, tradeshows and mini-conferences. I have written two books and currently working on a third. I am an avid social network and you can connect with me on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, & Sprouter to name a few.
Great to have you on the site Linda!

Hi Samantha
Pleased to meet you:) I love being a part of the TELUS Community. I wonder if you wanted to read my blog http://community.telustalksbusiness.com/blogs/talk_business/2011/06/14/hey-you-get-of-off-my-cloud and let me know your thoughts? It always helps me to know if I am making sense, especially when it comes to techy stuff like the cloud:)
Thanks.

Hi I am an extremely disappointed Telus customer/hostage . Telus has failed miserably at fixing an ongoing issue with my business phone service. It wasn't installed correctly and had to have several Techs come to my business and waste my time giving me the run around. I have had 7 different techs from Telus show up and do absolutely nothing to repair the issue with my phone line. My issue is this, every single time it rains my fax line shorts out and since my internet is on this line , I lose it as well. This has cost me revenue due to customers trying to fax orders to me and they can't get through so they order from my competitor. I have explained this issue , at length , to every single CSR that answers the phone, yet they still dispatch a nonstop parade of techs who do not ever fix the problem. A couple of the techs said that it was a line maintenance issue and they would have them dispatched to fix the issue or at least narrow the problem down. To date, no line maintenance crew has been dispatched, or if they have, my problem is still not fixed and nobody has said anything to me about it. All I want is the service I pay for. Seems fair doesn't it? If I had a choice of phone providers I would switch without a second thought. Unfortunately, Telus is the only provider and as such I am at their mercy. Guess what? they still want me to pay my full bill on time even though I only have intermittent service from them at best. Boo Telus!!! I am going to keep calling and keep having techs come to my business and waste my time and Telus' money until somebody from Telus gets a clue and solves this problem that has been ongoing since Octobor 2010.
Hi Dean. I hear your frustration and would like to work with you to try to resolve the issue. I will follow up via email to get more details.
