I had written a review yesterday regarding my customer service experience with Koodo (Telus), please see original review below,
But have since resolved it today. I believe a company's customer service is only as good as the person on the other end of the phone on that day. This was a simple roaming charge error that was resolved in minutes with the proper experienced service rep. Yesterday was a complete waste of time as the rep either didn't know how to resolve the issue or was too afraid to take responsibility without constantly referring to his supervisor. At any rate patience and politeness can pay off.
Thank you,

The initial customer service reps seem not to have any authority to make simple reversals of small charges. I tried to get a $16 roaming charge reversed to no avail. The charge was mistakenly applied and clearly showed one minute or the cost of connection and $16 was applied. The rep that I contacted after waiting a half hour for a callback, understood my frustration with the one-minute $16 charge but continually had to contact his supervisor. I was cut off three times which is ironic for a communications company. In the end, nothing was resolved and I am now considering switching to a new company.
