    @Telstra A closer look? Are you going to actually help me? Or am I wasting my time.

  • JasonDowden1 JD1 (@JasonDowden1) reported

    Hey @Telstra - 4 days waiting for a data upgrade whilst trying work and school at home in lockdown is terrible.

  • Ratchet_echidna 𝕰𝖒𝖔 𝕭𝖔𝖞𝖋𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖉 🖤 (@Ratchet_echidna) reported

    @Telstra logic: “oh they can’t afford their phone plan, let’s cancel their phone plan on them and force them to pay $1,337 they don’t have”

  • oztish Tish (@oztish) reported

    @Telstra A 4G area. It’s showing 4G today but only 2 bars signal, sometimes dropping to 1. My neighbour alerted me to it, he’s having signal issues too. Never had issues here previous 10 years

  • Ceehunr Nstg8r (@Ceehunr) reported

    @Telstra for some reason My prepaid service on my telstra pre-paid has changed & now also requests a voice mail... WTF

  • supersleuth2021 LadyWhistledown (@supersleuth2021) reported

    @Telstra My friends on social media are asking things now like - the mistake was Telstra offering a plan that you accepted only to gazump you. Another said how do you make SMS into minutes? They all think it looks suss, but as a gold member we are disappointed with the service today

  • Ratchet_echidna 𝕰𝖒𝖔 𝕭𝖔𝖞𝖋𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖉 🖤 (@Ratchet_echidna) reported

    It’s like anyone I talk to can’t or won’t help. I have no doubt @Telstra will respond to this “oh no we’re so sorry you had a bad experience contact us to get help” but like ?? They don’t help. Just for me to get passed around again, like put me through to someone

  • GleannMac Glenn Campbell (@GleannMac) reported

    @Telstra 4 days later and I still cannot get confirmation that my Nbn order is processed : 1-3020128349264 please help!!

  • willthisdo willthisdo (@willthisdo) reported

    @LesStonehouse The reason they are making payphone calls free is they want to put more of them out there- they are more an electronic advertising billboard now than a communication service. Telstra make far more money from selling the ad space than they would charging for calls.

  • mrstrayz strayz (@mrstrayz) reported

    @NotRealms @itsphluxzy @Telstra theyre so good but when i get support it takes millions of years

  • ajinnovator AJ (@ajinnovator) reported

    @SashasShelves @NBN_Australia They don’t care - doing this while we are in lockdown, needing connectivity more than even and they only care about $$$s certainly NOT their customers #fail @Telstra

  • Slobbodany Slobs Kilalot (@Slobbodany) reported

    @Telstra Sure. I have a mobile broadband (sim in a netgear nighthawk). Due to covid I’m not travelling so don’t need as much data on it. I wanted to downgrade to the smallest data plan but couldn’t find the option on the app. After over 2 hours of discussion with the chat help they (1/2)

  • tradleyfruit 🕷 (@tradleyfruit) reported

    Literally just changes to nbn and my internet has never been worse 😭 Thanks #telstra

  • Jdgunnergunn TF (@Jdgunnergunn) reported

    @lilzzzza @Telstra Wow thats poor form by them.

  • ashulz ashul (@ashulz) reported

    @Louiseontwitr Boost mobile it's telstra network can be annual or six monthly. Or direct with telstra you could possibly get an esim?

  • barbpar Barbara Cassidy (@barbpar) reported

    @Telstra I still can't get a straight answer to a simple question. Where can I find where Telstra has a policy or disclaimer that states "Telstra does not guarantee Telstra wi-fi service indoors"? Your technicians quote it so you must have it in a document for customers.

  • NotRealms Overt Realms (@NotRealms) reported

    @mrstrayz @itsphluxzy no id never cheat on my bae @Telstra

  • justalurker88 🌷🍀 (@justalurker88) reported

    @lilzzzza @Telstra I would tell them that it's a safety issue, which should get them moving in it pretty fast.

  • NxrzyV vNxrzy (@NxrzyV) reported

    @Telstra **** im ******* sick of your stupid Indian internet wasting MY ******* money ****

  • barbpar Barbara Cassidy (@barbpar) reported

    @Telstra Ridiculous to think you have the answer when two technicians have failed & told me to now buy a smart antenna to get the wi-fi device to work better and say you don't guarantee a service, after I signed up. Why are you signing people up to Telstra if you can't provide service?

  • Ratchet_echidna 𝕰𝖒𝖔 𝕭𝖔𝖞𝖋𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖉 🖤 (@Ratchet_echidna) reported

    Am I crying over @Telstra cancelling my contract after I was late on a payment? Yes. 🥴 how is this even allowed? I didn’t consent, I didn’t want to cancel my plan.

  • Booners05 Boonboonafrica (@Booners05) reported

    @GladysB @BradHazzard @NSWHealth your messages about staying home and vaccinating arent getting through. You need sms/notifications to every phone. Use the service nsw app to deliver daily notifications, use telstra, optus etc to deliver daily sms to every phone in nsw. Do it

  • ajinnovator AJ (@ajinnovator) reported

    @Telstra So apparently now it wasn’t you or NBN that took down my Internet connection of the entire day it was actually the “local electricity supplier” the @Telstra lies just get better and better

  • justalurker88 🌷🍀 (@justalurker88) reported

    @lilzzzza @Telstra I had big problems with Telstra last year. Customer service was terrible until I raised merry hell on their Facebook page (politely, but getting my point across) and I was contacted by customer service, given a phone number to ring and allocated a person to fix my problem.

  • Ratchet_echidna 𝕰𝖒𝖔 𝕭𝖔𝖞𝖋𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖉 🖤 (@Ratchet_echidna) reported

    Pass you around from person to person until you give in. I have been a Telstra customer for almost 8 years now. I have always tried to pay my phone bill on time and if I couldn’t I organised something with them. This is the first time something like this has happened.

  • TheCword6 czntgivemethebong (@TheCword6) reported

    @Telstra Stfu yous are a bullshit internet service

  • mariesproule mariesproule (@mariesproule) reported

    @Telstra 6 weeks of trying to get stable internet connection after Telstra technician changed our modem because of transition to NBN - and still can’t take transactions at our business - 6 weeks of lost sales 6 weeks of stress and disappointment - and no one at Telstra can help!

  • artistdanz Dan the Artist (@artistdanz) reported

    @Telstra STUPID!

  • justalurker88 🌷🍀 (@justalurker88) reported

    @lilzzzza @Telstra Trying to contact them through the supposed customer service line or through the app is a waste of time and very frustrating. Hence my Facebook rant which worked a treat. The person I finally dealt with went above and beyond. They were amazing. I will give them that.

  • SimpSimpleton mike hunt (@SimpSimpleton) reported

    @CommBank Yeah don't mention not even FUNDS TRANSFERS CAN'T BE MADE. YOU'RE SERVICE OVER THE PAST 2-3 YEARS HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF DISGUSTING. I'm done with you sorry 35 years and now you're like trying to deal with @Telstra #clowns
