  • jaseshepherd Jase Shepherd (@jaseshepherd) reported

    @Telstra I can’t let you know how it goes because nobody at Telstra will respond. Now that I have you, I’ve gone through all those steps. My DSL port is not getting a signal and the internet light on the modem is still flashing. If you’ll have someone call me, I can provide more detail.

  • vaidymohan Vaidhy Mohan (@vaidymohan) reported

    Hi @Telstra team, how do I setup iPhone MessageBank Plus service? Tried messaging through My Telstra app, no use. Any help?

  • _vTg_ Vanessa Solomon (@_vTg_) reported

    @Telstra Hi Ollie, thanks for getting in contact. I was able to message a Telstra support person during business hours today and they've resolved my issue. It seems the system was closed over the weekend. Thanks

  • CloudsCreek Meredith Stanton (@CloudsCreek) reported

    @talkingkoala I want trackers on Telstra executives as well, still no landline... now in 5th week of fault. Mobile reception is crap and can only get limited access to internet in the wee hours. 24/7 chat wont work... given the royal run around (Have tractor can destroy system for service🤬)

  • adriancraddock Adrian Craddock (@adriancraddock) reported

    @Telstra I have messaged again today and had no reply. Have you just given up on customer service? If there is a problem in your offshore call centres then surely you implement a plan to cope.

  • OzAz asOzAz (@OzAz) reported

    1 HOUR on hold @Telstra Abysmal service Whatever happened to using a call back service?

  • Venus4828 Venus (@Venus4828) reported

    @Telstra Can you explain why my last bill was for $0.003. Tried the support in app but no one seems to respond.

  • CallachorDavid DavidCallachor (@CallachorDavid) reported

    @stationmum101 My wife has similar experience over and over. Update your billing email address and no problem Mind you its not centrelink that is our issue it is telstra. I fixed it today with one call

  • 1thomasraymond Thomas Raymond (@1thomasraymond) reported

    @Telstra I need some help with a pending NBN connection. Tried to contact you by phone but automated service disconnected me twice. Messaged via Telstra app but no reply. Please contact me ASAP as I have a connection booked with technician on Friday.

  • OzAz asOzAz (@OzAz) reported

    so bad, even when it's working @Telstra own online testing page times out!

  • OzAz asOzAz (@OzAz) reported

    Oh and the phone music on hold is glitching because we get **** mobile reception! 0 out of 5 @Telstra I just love living in a worse than 3rd world country when it comes to internet and mobile

  • OzAz asOzAz (@OzAz) reported

    oh and your on hold music is **** and starting to drive me crazy @Telstra Nothing like making an angry customer even more angry by leaving them on hold and playing the same 4 **** music over and over and over and over again

  • jaseshepherd Jase Shepherd (@jaseshepherd) reported

    @acccgovau I live on the Gold Coast and the NBN has dropped out for the second time in the past month. No explanation from @Telstra and no customer service available. We pay for the service and get no help in return. What would you advise us to do?

  • RedDoorBakes Red Door Bakery (@RedDoorBakes) reported

    @Telstra you describe your message service like SMSing a friend ...are you that fried that is ghosting everyone ?

  • OzAz asOzAz (@OzAz) reported

    Oh great, just finished ranting how bad my @Telstra internet was and it's gone down AGAIN

  • GlennEd43149439 Glenn Edwards (@GlennEd43149439) reported

    @corybernardi @Telstra Go to a T Shop they are idiots who know nothing. Fix the thing myself.

  • adam_voigt Adam Voigt 🐯🏆 (@adam_voigt) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    So disappointed (not surprised) with the lack of support from @Telstra today. They insist on sending a @NBN_Australia tech to my office who turns the internet off on me before leaving. They now refuse to answer me (for hours) on their SMS service. My business is harmed by this.

  • Clayton_Is_Here Clayton Oldham (@Clayton_Is_Here) reported

    @Telstra hey Telstra, what's with the 40+ min wait time to try and get a fault fixed on a medical priority? And no other way to get support?

  • adriancraddock Adrian Craddock (@adriancraddock) reported

    @Telstra I contacted telstra a month ago to try to cancel my account. I got passed on to your text messaging service and never got a reply. My old plan did not suit my needs and hence I've been charged for excess data because I was u able to leave.

  • jaseshepherd Jase Shepherd (@jaseshepherd) reported

    @Telstra is a national embarrassment. Find another provider if you haven’t already. Their customer service is literally non existent. Like, if you need to talk to someone about a problem, you actually can’t.

  • OzAz asOzAz (@OzAz) reported

    now waiting on phone for goodness know how long for support from @Telstra sending this tweet (hopefully) in the few minutes internet has been up in last hour

  • DmelbM MDmelb (@DmelbM) reported

    @OzAz @Telstra I'm much happier with TPG. Telstra didn't even have phone support during covid 🙄

  • LaurenHLoz Lauren 🇦🇺 (@LaurenHLoz) reported

    @Telstra any outages in Sunbury 3429? Having internet issues...

  • lisapodcasts Lisa Tait (@lisapodcasts) reported

    @Telstra Your text messaging feature is having a bad day. I’ve been re-routed four times today.

  • jaseshepherd Jase Shepherd (@jaseshepherd) reported

    Called @Telstra twice today. Got through after an hour long wait and was immediately disconnected. This happened twice. Still no response through the message app or Twitter. An entire day without customer service. Internet is still down. @acccgovau

  • Eddy_Jahn Edward Jay (@Eddy_Jahn) reported

    @Telstra I just want to have someone call me or confirm disconnection of my internet service please. What is the best way to contact you for this? Your online & app self-service doesn't have a disconnection option.

  • OzAz asOzAz (@OzAz) reported

    internet is still up... at the moment after going down 4 times in the last 2 hours but @Telstra internet test page just sits there spinning doing nothing

  • mozbphoto Moz Bulbeck Reynolds (@mozbphoto) reported

    @Telstra just had a call hung up on me after 2hrs 5mins being on hold. Appalling customer service! And now my work is going to suffer as I need to get back online for EU calls this evening! 😤

  • OzAz asOzAz (@OzAz) reported

    up down up down up down, at least 6 times a day. My internet from @Telstra Yay for horrible #NBN fibre to the node, not worth the Billions #LNP wasted

  • jaseshepherd Jase Shepherd (@jaseshepherd) reported

    @andy_penn Just letting you know that our internet is down and we’ve gone without customer service all day today. This is despite using the message app, multiple phone calls and Twitter DMs. The problem remains and @Telstra is totally unreachable. It’s not right.
