  • ThePotatoBake Cameron McLachlan (@ThePotatoBake) reported

    @Doddy_31 @Telstra I cant believe how awful this whole experience has been to be honest. Dragging on two weeks now.

  • retrogamergirl_ Vic (@retrogamergirl_) reported

    @Telstra I’m still not able to pair my Apple Watch on my plan. It’s saying my service ID isn’t linked. I left Telstra because of this issue and now it’s still happening

  • TeriMOfficial Teri M Official (@TeriMOfficial) reported from Evans Head, State of New South Wales

    @telstra WHY can we not speak to an actual person in billing anymore? Forced to use the messaging system for 'efficiency' and having to follow up over and over for more billing overcharge credits I was advised would be applied - Customer Service - NOT! Your system is broken.

  • AdamFowler_IT Adam Fowler (@AdamFowler_IT) reported

    @acjuelich Roku doesn't sell in Australia, I think Telstra might rebrand their boxes, but then I couldn't easily tell on the external drive support?

  • BTS_UPDATES_101 BTS UPDATES ⁷ (@BTS_UPDATES_101) reported

    @Telstra My internet is extremely slow at the moment! I can barely watch any videos!! It drops in and out, and takes around 3 minutes to load a webpage? What is happening?

  • KelexKrypton Cal El (@KelexKrypton) reported

    @Telstra Well, you don’t give the service I pay for, using the pandemic as an excuse. What more do you truly expect? If you won’t fix it, I’ll give you something to fix. Then the inherent problem will inevitably be solved, as you have to make repairs to fix it. Simple. Fix it or I will!

  • karaxgg Kara (@karaxgg) reported

    @Jamie_Taylor @Telstra Messenger is down so don’t know what else I’m supposed to do. Couldn’t use either so ended up not being able to have an important conversation tonight 🙄

  • bahamutedean Kim (@bahamutedean) reported

    Telstra network not working in Glen Waverley @Telstra

  • VoodooPhoenix Neo (@VoodooPhoenix) reported

    @tonyvibo @Telstra I told those dogs to fix it months ago and they did but it’s crept back in..... if I could be ****** I’d walk away with the handset

  • Miss_Bowperson Sarah Bowman (@Miss_Bowperson) reported

    Given the quality of your service (none) you should be paying me @Telstra to have your modem since I have to use my phones data as my wifi doesn’t work.

  • QuinnTek1 Jay Quinn (@QuinnTek1) reported

    @Telstra fix your ****, I can't even send a message.

  • karaxgg Kara (@karaxgg) reported

    Since I switched to @Telstra my iPhone sends every text message 4 times, and it takes a few minutes for a message to send. Have googled like crazy but no solution. Never happened on old provider. Have cleared out msgs, reset network settings. Anyone had similar? 😭

  • cookiedaux Carla (@cookiedaux) reported

    Wow I haven't had a @Telstra product in 20 years because of their poor customer service. Glad to see it hasn't changed!!! Complete disdain for their customers. I've been sent 3 Sims over 5 weeks and still don't have a working service.

  • OTLSArchie Archie Keeler (@OTLSArchie) reported

    @ThePotatoBake @Doddy_31 @Telstra Ok. That is bad then. It’s their own bloody cable! No one else to blame but themselves. Did you get it sorted?

  • ed5mc Ed Henry (@ed5mc) reported

    @Telstra After a long 12 hour session, and then a 2 hour session ending at 12:30am. Do you treat big business the same way, or just small business?

  • Mickpritchard73 Michael Pritchard (@Mickpritchard73) reported

    @kayosports_help Doesn't work on my Telstra TBox. Works fine on my phone. Wants me to login. I'll look at it tomorrow and watch cricket on free to air

  • IanParry_ Ian Parry (@IanParry_) reported

    @Telstra seriously. You said 6 days if service interruption not service denial completely.

  • AlexGlavind Alex Glavind (@AlexGlavind) reported

    @karaxgg @Telstra No problem 🤓

  • SusieShivani Susie Shivani 🌏🐨⏳ (@SusieShivani) reported

    @Telstra I spent quite some time on a Telstra chat line a few days ago, discovering this. While it did not even have the function of saving the chat (basic! a service) I did actually copy the whole convo into a document. I’m on the road today but only too happy to explore this with you.

  • alicesiecker leolion87 (@alicesiecker) reported

    @Telstra Never been given a reference number...told id receive an email stating its on its way but nothing....wont be paying a cent either on my bill since i cant even use my modem so why should i pay for it

  • alicesiecker leolion87 (@alicesiecker) reported

    @Telstra I just said NO because i never received the email, I was lied to multiple times. Smh

  • OTLSArchie Archie Keeler (@OTLSArchie) reported

    @ThePotatoBake @Doddy_31 @Telstra Nbn? Unfortunately the way it works now with the separation between carrier and network, it gives every provider the chance to blame someone else. Provider blames nbn, nbn blames provider. Consumer loses.

  • SpikeballX ArchSpike - COMMISSIONS OPEN (@SpikeballX) reported

    PSA: My internet is dead and telstra is taking their sweet *** time fixing it. Still don't know when it will be back so ill be slow to respond for a while.

  • srhardy dadude (@srhardy) reported

    @Telstra What has happened to calling Telstra, talking to a person and getting a problem resolved? Ai chat I’da bad joke, self service is a cop out and the system hangs up on you relentlessly! Optus used to be like this once too!

  • nealst Darren Cate (@nealst) reported

    @Telstra I've been waiting for over an hour for someone to help me via chat. OVER AN HOUR and all because you guys decided to change the app so I can't access it anymore. It really is the shittest service!

  • alicesiecker leolion87 (@alicesiecker) reported

    @Telstra Follow up, thats hilarious considering its the SAME problem i had months ago and thats the expanding battery on my mobile modem. Im contacting the TO today i have been lied to for the last time for 3 months ive been promised a replacement and now i cant even use it

  • hkphotographyau Craig (@hkphotographyau) reported

    @Telstra Wonder it'll fix your **** customer support!

  • JuliaIrwinator Julia the Irwinator (@JuliaIrwinator) reported
