  • mjt73 Myf Trant 🌈 (@mjt73) reported

    Can senate estimates find out if the person who developed the appalling @Telstra support app got a bonus? There’s a special circle of hell waiting for them #auspoI

  • loveandglam0ur ★ ♡ ᗩᑫᑌᗩ TOᖴᗩᑎᗩ ♡ ★ (@loveandglam0ur) reported

    So much for @Telstra customer service. I’ve texted for technical support and they just left me here waiting and no reply. Fix my damn internet FFS!! 😡

  • kellynettlefold Elizabeth Anne Kelly (@kellynettlefold) reported

    telstra have lost entire right to hold a communication license at all Th massive number of complaints regarding th issue &th massive charges slung at th public is horrendous. telstra ur fired I had a working phone & now after seeing u it does not work last time it was my USB BAD

  • igniteimage_au Ignite Image (@igniteimage_au) reported

    @Telstra your 24/7 chat Gold support is absolutely pathetic. 6 hours of chat without a resolution for a new phone esim activation, do you think that’s acceptable?

  • Peach69flossie Cheryl Peachey (@Peach69flossie) reported

    @Telstra No I still have no internet!!!! Apparently it’s a power cord issue and I am being sent a new one but have to wait 14 days. I am a midwife and need my internet. I waited over an hour on the phone. I am very disappointed with this service

  • VirtuosoVA Elizabeth Williams (@VirtuosoVA) reported

    @Telstra Well you are slow to the party as usual, but it eventually fixes it self.

  • darcytudball Darcy Tudball (@darcytudball) reported

    @corymedia @Telstra Yep just some bullshit from them. I have no problem with being charged a fee for being later with me bill (which I never am), but I do have a problem with them telling me there's only one way for me to pay my bill - and that's them take the money from my account. I'm done.

  • ProwoodStuff ProwoodStuff (@ProwoodStuff) reported

    Due to Internet issues (**** you Telstra), I'm doing the Stream at 10 or 11pm so then there'll be less internet traffic. Not a large issue, but it's still an issue at that.

  • cold_shuga Katrina L. Hill (@cold_shuga) reported

    The solution is to open a new bank account just to pay phone bills. The @JBHiFi guy says this is a soft launch - so they have told no one about it before making it compulsory March 9. #auspol #telstra

  • JanJanrussell Jan Russell (@JanJanrussell) reported

    @margaretthrosby Telstra NEVER answer their phones. I have tried multiple times in the last 2 weeks @Telstra and on the one occasion the voice bot said go to our website and promptly hung up. WTF

  • sevenseacat Rebecca Le (@sevenseacat) reported

    @Telstra It has not. I have an IQ2, and am trying to arrange a satellite install. Your text support gets as far as asking me for my account number, then goes radio silent. Repeat for every single day this week.

  • darcytudball Darcy Tudball (@darcytudball) reported

    @anthonytobin73 @Telstra Had a similar experience yesterday. Forcing direct debit on customers with no alternative and telling us it will make things easier for us. Lost me as a customer. As soon as my contract ends in May I'm going to @Optus.

  • cold_shuga Katrina L. Hill (@cold_shuga) reported

    This @Telstra thing is wrong. I would direct debit if I knew the precise contract agreement - date and time of debit, what they will do if the bank has a problem (and I libel for a fee?). NONE of this was offered to me. They just asked for my bank account details.

  • Glenina57 💧Ray™ (@Glenina57) reported

    .@Telstra Customer Service: 1hr 15mins on hold..crap music + ads.. answered by a call centre in India..told "sorry cant help" @StGeorgeBank 4mins on hold.. answered by someone working from home in AU, complete with barking dog. Sorted in 5 mins.👍 Why is it so hard for Telstra?

  • liz1886 Lizzie (@liz1886) reported

    @Telstra Another Sunday and Telstra is messing with coverage in Canberra but not owning outages on customers -just the upload speed 6mbps whilst download is 87mbps. They know we can’t get through to anyone.Who else is having issues with phone calls? How many vulnerable people compromised

  • cold_shuga Katrina L. Hill (@cold_shuga) reported

    @Telstra Without asking them what they want. How many billions did you make last year? If you don’t understand why some women need this security (and shouldn’t have to prove domestic violence to you) then you are part of the problem.

  • 11fiftynine On A Roll (@11fiftynine) reported

    @Telstra How long does it normally take to go from iiNet to a Telstra mobile service?

  • leftie2401 💧Jen 🌿🌸🖤💛❤️ (@leftie2401) reported

    @Telstra And why the hell does a tech PHONE company allow a customer to ring a closed Telstra shop and not give them some indication that their call will not be answered. It beggars belief. Customer experience 0/10

  • itsntconsult It's Now Time ! (@itsntconsult) reported

    @Telstra I am trying to connect a phone from existing Telstra service to NBN but cannot get through on phone for 5weeks

  • IDR93413102 IDR (@IDR93413102) reported

    @margaretthrosby Go Aussie Broad Band .. I will never go back to Telstra and Foxtel is banned here

  • greater__bilby greaterbilby (@greater__bilby) reported

    @Telstra My poor elderly, vulnerable parent. Remote Australia. Severe medical issues. 3 weeks without mobile. Telstra unable for no known reason to switch her prepaid sim to a postpaid account. 6 + hours in store and 'chatting' via the off shore chat service. I could weep.

  • woodsy440 Mark W (@woodsy440) reported

    @kayosports_help Was working ok Thursday- nothing has changed since now not working-am using Telstra Tv box so how do we check VPN or procie

  • MachineLordZero Zero Tachikoma (@MachineLordZero) reported

    Here we go again with the Telstra support

  • adeishs ade ishs (@adeishs) reported

    @Telstra I didn’t try, and you guys seem to have fixed the problem. 👍

  • vertigrator Craig Vertigan (@vertigrator) reported

    @srhsimmonds Is the government sorry for prompting them to do it? With what is some of the worst legislation ever written, where providing a service that allows people to share a link, is considered “news content”. Would this mean that Telstra will be liable every time we send a link to news?

  • Wombae_ Wombae (@Wombae_) reported

    @x_MsAu Been with Telstra basically all my life and holy **** I can’t wait to move out, nothing but problems with Telstra and the customer service is the absolute worst. I’ve spent 10 years trying to get mum to switch providers. Literally anyone other then Telstra

  • tee1000 Tomasz Oczapowski (@tee1000) reported

    In 4 weeks my Telstra NBN went from most reliable service to 22 outages per day. 3 different call centres acknowledged “no issues, see issues, your line is bad”. @Telstra how can I help you to help me? I really don’t want to cancel contract or ask for refund.

  • PaigeTurner1853 Paige Turner (@PaigeTurner1853) reported

    @margaretthrosby Telstra and Foxtel now being billed separately instead of a a bundle apparently. Maybe that’s the issue.
