Why is the Telus phone ringing then the message.

"All Circuits are Busy, Blah Blah" At 11:45 Pm in Calgay.

Could that many people be using the phone at that time?

I tried total of 6 times in 15 minutes and was unable to make a Two blocks south west of 14st and 17 ave S.W.


Finally gave up and used my Rogers line to place the call.

Note: I have now experienced this Circuit Busy problem a few times now, different locations. What exactly is the problem here?

This message usually means that the PSTN lines out from the switch are full. Usually Telus will wait for a certain threshold before adding more resources. If you don't here a message but your phone displays a message "System Busy", or somehtimg like that this means that the cell is to busy. There are other sources of blocking but these are the most commen.

what kind of phone was it? was it analog?

Lg 5450

What........the once mighty telus has the same issues as little Fido, I can't believe it

I am not happy with Telus at all, they are spending millions of dollars on retarded pony dancing advertisement and making bids for Fido, but they can't spend money to fix their network. I dont know how made the policy of eliminating competition rather then working on their network.

I have severe problems with Telus Signal in N.W Calgary. Am I paying for Analog?

Also what's up with ADSL service.

Now they are blocking ports, pings are going up. They haven't upgraded their service while Shaw is offering 5mbit xtreme package for the same price as 2.5 package.

The future is not friendly at all

Better watch it, you might get banned for being anti-telus in the telus forum. I commented on this with my gf's phone, and i basically got called a liar. I told them the exact same thing as you. Circuits busy and horrible NW coverage..

Why should I be Banned?

I have done nothing wrong according to the rules.

I am just posting my concerns on the direction Telus is taking which has me confused.

Judging from past experience, i've noticed that whenever i have brought up a problem regarding telus service, i have been flamed like crazy. And i'm not the only one..

No one should have flamed you, this also goes to the others who got flamed because they reported their findings.


All I am doing by posting this is to get more knowledge about the circuit busy issue from users on these forums.

I have already reported "Circuit Busy" and "Poor RF in N.W Calgary" to Telus countless times without them taking any actions. So did my friends/colleagues. There has been no action taken from Telus. So I seek Howard forum members advice here.

I have been disturbed by the direction Telus has taken.

I still have hope that the Future is Friendly from Telus in the near future, but I will be honest, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I had that problem a few times, and dismissed it as normal... i dont think the number of times you get it is normal though!

Could you please indicate some of the areas in NW Calgary you are having problems?
I plan on getting a telus pay & talk account for some clients, and would like to know if some of the problem areas include the Hidden Valley, Hanson Ranch and newer Evanston, Creekside and Kincora neighbourhoods.

Didn't I just see you in the Rogers forum the other day complaining about how bad Rogers was in Calgary too?

In your opinion, does anyone offer good coverage in Calgary?

Aren't his Telus Mobility problems objective? Getting an error message constantly on your phone makes it pretty clear that there is a problem on Telus' end.

Sorry, but I'm always a little wary of brand new members who suddenly appear in multiple forums complaining about these types of issues.
