  • antig88 AJ (@antig88) reported

    @Telstra I’m fed up with the message service timing out, having to repeat myself and complete id checks. Why can’t we just ring someone and talk over the phone to get it fixed? Why is Telstra so against hiring real people to deal with customers? #veryunhappycustomer #readytochangeprovider

  • antig88 AJ (@antig88) reported

    @Telstra I received a promotional email back in September that said I would get 9 months free binge. I could never access the offer and have tried several time thru the Telstra message service to get it activated. Nobody seems to be able to...

  • sassisam Sam Winter (@sassisam) reported

    @melissahoyer @Telstra You're better off dealing directly with Apple Support.

  • antig88 AJ (@antig88) reported

    @Telstra Recently I received another email saying the promotion was already automatically applied but simultaneously I’m receiving emails from binge saying I need to pay for the service to continue....

  • Robtane Tūwharetoa Rob (@Robtane) reported

    @JNPhillips4 I have never heard anyone worse. I was in the Telstra box for the World Cup final @wallabies v England. They paid for Kearns to be there to mingle with their clients. I tried to talk to him twice but he waved me away because he was tied in knots watching the game. Tosser

    @Telstra Mobile data. And same problem today.

  • melanchomical Jessie 💚 (@melanchomical) reported

    @JuneauJustin1 @boxcar808 @dustinkensrue Really?? I’m giving it a watch tonight. I found it on Telstra TV (Australia) for $3 so if it’s a total stinker it won’t be a too much loss. I’ve had bad coffees which have cost more.

  • giveitaburl Sue🌻 (@giveitaburl) reported

    Bloody Telstra, doing maintenance upgrades in this weather, how friggin stupid we’ve been getting fierce storms all week and now getting another one! and the internet is gone again, yesterday it was off for 8 hours, gawd knows how long it’ll be off today. #*********😠

  • joshthelad3 joshladd (@joshthelad3) reported

    @Telstra Worst commercial on TV...how can anyone believe their BS that their 5G is better than Optus, VHA etc... how’s the squatters going in your building @whittleseascoop @CityWhittlesea

  • lilybentley Lily Bentley (@lilybentley) reported

    Hi @Telstra ! I’ve been waiting for a sim activation for a 4GX hotspot for almost a week, and no customer service agents have helped us via the chat. Can someone please get in touch? We really need wifi!

  • FlyOpineMonkey Sir Darryl Adams (@FlyOpineMonkey) reported

    @JennaPrice @Telstra Clearly Telstra needs to up its game if people are accessing the internet without issue.....

  • naturopath_tee naturopath_tricia (@naturopath_tee) reported

    @Telstra Finally got through to someone as a business customer with a few big plans this process was not a good one you guys need to have some better service for business customers who need things fixed rather than waiting days to speak with someone who can help

  • JArciuli Prof Jo Arciuli (@JArciuli) reported

    @DeadlyScience Well done! What a shame Telstra isn’t actively looking for opportunities such as this to support Indigenous communities given the recent investigation that has found deplorable exploitation of vulnerable customers on the part of Telstra.

  • aussie__user_ Salazar 🇦🇺🇵🇹🇻🇦 (Christmas mode 🎄🎄🎄) (@aussie__user_) reported

    I havent had internet in days, been having to use me data @Telstra fix your ****

  • Philnoo Philno (@Philnoo) reported

    @SorifL2 @Telstra Had the same **** aye for the past 2 weeks so odd

  • nickorloff NickCycles (@nickorloff) reported

    Come on @telstra - you have no issues taking my money every month, how about putting some support staff on rather that your IVR that tells me you're busy then dumps my call. Service?

  • sassisam Sam Winter (@sassisam) reported

    @melissahoyer @Telstra Go into the store or get a manager on the phone. Is it still under warranty? If so, you can get an express service where they will send you a replacement phone while you send the other one in and they assess it. I went through this process earlier this year at beg. covid #painful

  • benbarren ben barren (@benbarren) reported

    @melissahoyer @Telstra applecare+ unfortunately only proper answer ere telcos r useless for better service levels u need @Apple direct

  • Hullo_Mullo Ami Mullenger (@Hullo_Mullo) reported

    @Telstra No it’s not going to plan. I finally got a box and the technician hasn’t shown up. I waited in all Saturday and no one showed, I then went to your help function at 430pm and waited all night for a reply. NOTHING. #telstraisajoke If you want to help, why don’t you call me.

  • taswildlife Jenny Cambers-Smith (@taswildlife) reported

    @Telstra @UbisoftANZ Very unhappy with Telstra. Trying to switch NBN to Telstra for weeks. Current service expires tomorrow. Will be left with NO means of COMMUNICATION whatsoever. Terrible mobile service and internet phone. No landline. Please get in touch ASAP!!!!

  • SorifL2 Sorif (@SorifL2) reported

  • Draxxoce Draxx (@Draxxoce) reported

    @SorifL2 @Telstra Don’t bother had issues with them for the last two weeks as well always lagging and they say they don’t know what to do ******* useless ***** can’t even speak English

  • Zhynoks noks (@Zhynoks) reported

    @SorifL2 @Telstra Telstra are ******* useless. When I had internet issues they told me the exact same thing on the Telstra app and on twitter

  • MultiplyBlessed Emily Caldwell (@MultiplyBlessed) reported

    @Telstra @ZahrahAliyah I have had this same problem. My internet (and the internet of my neighbours) has been down for about 14 hours, 4 of which I’ve wasted trying to talk to Telstra chat / messenger support with no response. How am I supposed to report this problem if I can’t contact Telstra??

  • bungleer bungle (@bungleer) reported

    @telstra you gave me a free Pre-paid SIM card. It doesn’t work & your service is so terrible I’m now paying @VodafoneAU instead

  • petercapedavies Peter Cape (@petercapedavies) reported

    @Telstra_news Telstra has just rejected a claim for compensation for a service that is unavailable for business clients, that is international roaming for overseas business people.. our claim must be relevant for us and thousands of customers

  • meekjulie Juli3 (@meekjulie) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra Telstra only help people who fit the tick box profile

  • anthonyjmuscat Anthony Muscat 🌈 (@anthonyjmuscat) reported

    @stiffuppercut @Telstra To be trueful I was with Optus years ago and it was slow and 4g use to drop all the time. But Telstra NBN I seen people without internet for months waiting for install because they cant get technician to turn up and Telstra you can’t call directly once it’s working it’s ok.
