    @Telstra Why would Samsung change the time? They have phones all over the world. So they rely either on location (which they got right) or network time which Telstra got wrong. It is 2022 why haven't Telstra worked with all your phone suppliers to get this right?

  • Scott_P12 Scott Pincus (@Scott_P12) reported

    @AFL @Telstra @MushroomGroup How about uploading the whole thing instead of this 2 minute edited garbage

  • tbsposato Terry Sposato (@tbsposato) reported

    @Telstra That support page says I can pay over the phone, how about you just fix your phone system so instead of disconnecting the call it actually transfers me to someone helpful?

  • DavidPutnik11 David Latin 4x💉 ☮️🕊 (@DavidPutnik11) reported

    Actually resolved my problem tonight, so feeling much better now. Telstra not such a bad company, just got to find the right knowledgable person, just like with so many companies! But even government can be terrible, 2hr.50min. to contact Registry B.D.&M. (no shop front anymore)

  • cpmcgrath Chris McGrath (@cpmcgrath) reported

    @Telstra Or you could fix it? The exact cause of this has been well documented for years

  • Frankie_Knuckls Frankie Knuckles (@Frankie_Knuckls) reported

    @annaspargoryan Oh don’t start me! Moved from 1 house 2 another in Hawks Nest. 250kms north of Sydney. Telstra cut off my Sydney address! Months of pain. Now Voda in 1 iiNet in other. Never again!!

  • damspics Anthony Hoffmann (@damspics) reported

    @Telstra And let's be honest. Telstra don't value feedback. This isn't directed at you Lauren. If Telstra had half an idea about what people want, then they would know the most scarcest commodities in the world now are honesty and responsibility. Customers are no longer stupid.

  • Bakka_67 Lee Morris (@Bakka_67) reported

    @BeachGirlJan No problems so far with home internet but mobile coverage is poor compared to Telstra.

  • cpmcgrath Chris McGrath (@cpmcgrath) reported

    @Telstra @stu6162 This is a bug people have complained about for over a decade that has real world consequences, just fix it.

  • StyxOCE Styx (@StyxOCE) reported

    Internet DC’ing in the middle of a 45 min game, if anyone knows a telstra engineer can you please tell them to **** themselves

  • ArbiAsadoorian Arbi Asadoorian (@ArbiAsadoorian) reported

    @Telstra is there any outage in Sydney on your crappy services again???? Bunch of useless people!!! Or is it the other idiots @NBN_Australia ???

  • Miggie07758273 Miggie (@Miggie07758273) reported

    @chdyctt @macsween_prue @Optus I’m not an Optus customer but Telstra, CBA, & a few other orgs have all contacted me this past week to let me know how they are protecting my data…

  • stu6162 Tech, Creating Jobs, Tranquility, a better world (@stu6162) reported

    @Telstra Clock setting are set to auto and network time. When I changed the setting to use your location it now shows the correct time. So it's your system time that would appear to be wrong. Samsung S21

  • bigdecision88 whygrowold (@bigdecision88) reported

    @SallyLawry @Khaliter1 @CommBank Definitely. I don’t think most of it is outsourced for frontline customers but the model they are using is broken. Telstra is way better and faster which is saying something

  • vrachelv9 rachelv (@vrachelv9) reported

    @annaspargoryan Dealt with Telstra the other day. Operator was rude and refused to look up previous case notes. Got sick of it told her I wanted it escalated to the complaints department. That scored me a you’ve been abusive (which I wasn’t ) and she hung up on me. Pt 1..

  • Mitch_Hell Mitchell Bingemann (@Mitch_Hell) reported

    @joshgnosis @sainsburychina Didn't stop her weighing into the TPG Telstra network sharing deal! 🤔

  • rakesh1198 Rakesh Malik (@rakesh1198) reported

    @narendramodi @shaziailmi When GSM services were launched in 1994/5, Minister of Communication had launched those services on Modi Telstra network on a call btwn Delhi-Calcutta. That was a big leap from landline to mobile. PM was no where taking credit. 4G to 5G is mere tech upgrade.

  • ghowells67 Gareth Howells (@ghowells67) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Telstra Problem taken care of promptly by Brandon. Thanks

  • cpmcgrath Chris McGrath (@cpmcgrath) reported

    @Telstra @stu6162 We report the problem every year and you never fix it. The timezone is set by the tower you connect to. When there is no daylight savings, for some reason you set the time to NSW time, in the final hours of the day before, you change it to Queensland time.

  • bradmcculloch3 brad mcculloch (@bradmcculloch3) reported

    Ffs @Telstra , how do you get network based time settings for daylight savings transitions wrong every single year?

  • stu6162 Tech, Creating Jobs, Tranquility, a better world (@stu6162) reported

    @cpmcgrath @Telstra Thanks Chris. That's a good explanation. It's truly third rate delivery. Why would the biggest tech company in Australia default towers in QLD to NSW? They advertise that they have tech advisors to help small business lift their "tech game". Yet can't get the time right.

  • damspics Anthony Hoffmann (@damspics) reported

    @Telstra That could be a weird thing to do. Oh, you mean add. It's not strange. I can see the error in the javascript code. Years ago it was a trendy thing to have the address 'verified' using code but it's been redundant for years. It's literally a 3 minute fix.

  • SallyLawry 💧Sally Lawry (@SallyLawry) reported

    @bigdecision88 @Khaliter1 @CommBank Agree . The customer service team are always pleasant . Wonder if it is outsourced . There now seems to be a triage system . Talk to 2 people . 20 mins for call to be answered .That person can’t help and you get put on hold for up to an hr waiting for somebody else .Telstra style

  • jeremydyancey Jeremy (@jeremydyancey) reported

    ...have major brand damage for years to come. But let's not forget that Optus is the 2nd largest telco in Australia - an underdog to Telstra that paved the way for a more competitive market and greater choice for consumers...

  • tbsposato Terry Sposato (@tbsposato) reported

    @Telstra Your phone support is an absolute joke. After minutes of fighting with your ****** voice recognition every option chosen ends in my call being disconnected. Get your **** together.

  • soniaahhh Dr Sonia Ahhh🌈 (@soniaahhh) reported

    OMG **** you telstra. We don't have daylight saving in the territory. Why was my phone even on Adelaide time? I sure didn't set it that way

  • Nowsthetime3 Nowsthetime Max Vaxtor, #AlboIsMyPM (@Nowsthetime3) reported

    @ChrisMinnsMP Too late after the horse has bolted. But you could always buy back Telstra and the energy companies. Oh for the days when we weren't being robbed every time we used an essential service.

  • BoomerDea Boomer Dea (@BoomerDea) reported

    @Telstra Not sure how that helps me? I’ve told you that your network is not up to scratch and where. Please have your engineers fix it.

  • Gilmar15Patrick Patrick Gilmartin (@Gilmar15Patrick) reported

    @GregoryJaySea @abcnews ”remote” is open to interpretation. One only has to look at Telstra’s record of where it prefers to invest in infrastructure to understand that utilities companies ‘don’t want’ to provide equity of service to remote customers.

  • James57498470 James (@James57498470) reported

    @Telstra @punkionaire Imo Just keep upgrading the network and offering more competitive deals. Try not to fall back into the monopoly mindset that plagued Australia prior to the NBN. Think rual tower infrastructure should be shared but that's not fair if you paid for it I guess.
