  • ainsleysbae ainsleysboo (@ainsleysbae) reported

    some telstra employees are so RUDE

  • Ancible Richard Bowen (@Ancible) reported

    Is everyone with a phone receiving these spam SMS messages? Or is it just the @Telstra network? Tracking at 1 per hour so far today.

  • Augustajane Augusta Jane (@Augustajane) reported

    @Telstra @bodinp Info on outages is so hard to find. When will Hampton abn issues be resolved?

  • BrettskiMelb 🏳️‍🌈 Rights, Truth & Justice, not Conspiracies (@BrettskiMelb) reported

    @LNPvoterfail And if I ever do answer a call, because I am expecting a call-back or something… I never answer with my name, and I never tell them any details until they have confirmed who they are to me. Telstra used to be pissed with me as I would not provide 3 points of ID when they called!

  • roderick_jon Roderick Jon (@roderick_jon) reported

    @Telstra how do I get to speak to a customer support member who can actually help me with my order instead of doing random nonsense and making the problem worse?

  • Expedient_ ExpedientMitch (@Expedient_) reported

    @CrimeStopperVic I got a Text from a Telstra Number, telling me that customer informed, tasks complete. And then they cut the line and I was unable to call them back. They created a number out of nothing and cut it. I take it, crime stoppers contact through this means, I believe I said text me.

  • UnwissendTas QMN6VZ83 (@UnwissendTas) reported

    @Telstra Thanks Greg. I preordered on Friday night. Then Saturday it was cancelled for ID reasons. Went in store Saturday. Couldn't process. They promised manual process Sunday with a call back. Still no calls. Call centre can't process? But it doesn't appear to be a credit issue? Desprt

  • JamesCridland James Cridland (@JamesCridland) reported

    @backlon As an aside - I only buy unlocked Google Pixel phones, direct from Google. On putting a @telstra SIM into the phone, it automatically downloads and installs the Telstra app. (As it is, it's not that bad, but even so...)

  • SabreMc Sabre McCullough (@SabreMc) reported

    @tullyfur Telstra, optus, I think in this case it's OnePlus' fault because my phone is a piece of garbage that freezes just by opening the app drawer these days

  • Ripened2Perfect Ripened2Perfection (@Ripened2Perfect) reported

    Well the @telstra saga continues- 8 months now and still not fixed. Reception is 0.1 down &1.7 up! Case manager rang 10 days ago & said they were going to contact mobile support for help with, they then told me they were contacting the case manager for help? Catch 22 brilliant.

  • JustinJMilligan Justin Milligan (@JustinJMilligan) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    Hey @Telstra Wondering if you can help? My parents have lost internet connection. I'm trying to see if it's an "old people" issue or Telstra is down. Do you have any issues with Fassifern, NSW, 2283 at the moment?

  • bodinp Bodin (@bodinp) reported

    @Telstra No. After 2 hours of canned responses and repeated questions that I’d already answered, the operator linked me to the website to self-serve. I’d like to know how I can get better service than that, but without going in-store to talk directly to a person. It was a bad experience.

  • alansattler74 Alan 🇦🇺 (@alansattler74) reported

    Hi @Telstra remember me Your service is still crap in the shires of York Northam Beverley in West Australia Call’s dropping out Cannot do a Zoom meeting If I could move my services I would Just fix it

  • BattenSuzie Suzie Batten (@BattenSuzie) reported

    @Telstra Phil I cannot fit in what I need to say on Twitter. Telstra doesn’t answer the phone and the message service is useless. I ideally need to talk to or email a senior person please.

  • alansattler74 Alan 🇦🇺 (@alansattler74) reported

    @Telstra Nope I’m going back to the ombudsman And I’m going to suggest all your clients do that Your service in regional areas is a disgrace You can get better service in Cambodia

  • BeachGirlJan BeachGirl Jan JG 🌴⛵🐬🏖🐾🇦🇺 (@BeachGirlJan) reported from Gold Coast, State of Queensland

    @ShelldoHanson @ScottMorrisonMP @Telstra We'll never see that.

  • craigzillaburns Craig Burns (@craigzillaburns) reported

    @PayPal customer service is worse than @Telstra 😱

  • jaye_ah Justin Randles (@jaye_ah) reported

    @Telstra Hey Telstra! Me again! Same problem, only worse - router can't even connect to the internet. Beyond a joke now, isn't it? INC16072862

  • manaz_d Robert Hudson (@manaz_d) reported

    It took all of about 5 minutes to solve my issue. This is unlike some other big companies - like you, Telstra, who it takes literally hours to get even the most basic information out of.

    From a chat box from @Telstra over the continuing ClusterF*ck that is my NBN connection: "I appreciate you have been a loyal customer to Telstra. I am extremely sorry for the incompetence."

  • barefootbloke Al Canavan 🇦🇺🏳️‍🌈🇬🇷 (@barefootbloke) reported

    @Telstra anyone still work there? Been waiting over an hour for someone from, so called, live chat to answer a question. WTF is going on???

  • JustinJMilligan Justin Milligan (@JustinJMilligan) reported

    @Telstra Nothing reported to Telstra. 😔 Sounding like "old person" issue. This could be a long night......

  • manaz_d Robert Hudson (@manaz_d) reported

    @Telstra Your team on Twitter are great. But your chat service (in the Telstra app, or on the website) is abysmal. Slow to respond, clear language barrier issues, sends you in circles. I am Impressed that you picked that up given I didn't @ you. As I said, your Twitter team is great.

  • UnwissendTas QMN6VZ83 (@UnwissendTas) reported

    .@Telstra can someone help? Dealt with super friendly telstra advisor on the phone but still couldn't resolve my request for a preorder. Doesn't appear to be a credit issue but won't let me order phone. I ported from optus instore but can't bundle device? Running out of time :(

  • anitaeglitis Anita Eglitis (@anitaeglitis) reported

    @TheDSingularity Telstra's shocking customer service is renowned. For info only: my voice calls to Optus get answered immediately by friendly competent staff, and my Optus wireless broadband internet service provides unlimited data at speeds ~100Mbps or faster (and is way cheaper than the NBN).

  • Ceej1988 Encrypto (@Ceej1988) reported

    @Telstra I've been on with customer service for over 30 minutes and they are unable to help. They gave me the distribution centres contact number who refused to speak to me. Where to from here?
