    @FionaLakeAus @Telstra Won’t shut up when they want to sell you something. Have a problem and good luck resolving it

  • PIoughmansLunch Oliver (@PIoughmansLunch) reported

    I think I'll have to put in a claim with @Telstra for the service I missing because of their eSIM provisioning system being down for 4 days (so far). It should surely be a priority bug with new iPhone and Apple Watch devices being launched last week...

  • terngirl Dr Maggie J Watson (@terngirl) reported

    @D0CT0R_Dave @Telstra Late August switched ADSL modem box, didn’t work, switched to NBN 24 August using Modem & Telstra signal from tower 500m from house. Randomly cuts out or slows down. Mapping when out or really slow, 7 to 10x per day. Took machine in to Telstra, they say nothing wrong with machine

  • AnInterObserver Fred Nurk (@AnInterObserver) reported

    @Telstra No problems / will do.

  • Chrus_3 Chrus 🦖 (@Chrus_3) reported

    @Telstra I'm not even joking, Jimmy. Actually heard the guy barffing. Still on the phone with him. After nearly 2 hrs of trying, this guy has been the most helpful one I've spoken to, but my problem still persists.

  • craigmutton Craig Mutton (@craigmutton) reported

    @_thisismatt_ @Telstra Wow, sorry to hear that! Honestly @Telstra … step up - your app is supposed to enable this. Option doesn’t appear HELP

  • drshahir Ahmed Kaithal Shahir (@drshahir) reported

    @Telstra Yes, and I went there, and they couldn't help me. I'm

  • FionaLakeAus Fiona Lake (@FionaLakeAus) reported

    @AdamCoffeyNT @Telstra If only customers could charge interest, and sic the debt collectors on. Telstra's worst problem is the absolutely disgusting sales tactics of the greasy people in the franchises. The largest one here in Townsville should be shut down, for lying to customers. They're notorious.

  • Chrus_3 Chrus 🦖 (@Chrus_3) reported

    @Telstra No need for a tech. Was a simple config change on the service and a reboot of the device.

  • PIoughmansLunch Oliver (@PIoughmansLunch) reported

    @Telstra @semaja2 Tori, do you have an ETA on the fix? Thanks. :)

  • _thisismatt_ _thisismatt_ (@_thisismatt_) reported

    @Telstra I’ve been telling support since Friday. I’ve been told continually to wait 24-48 hours and that it was because of a mysterious “cancelled order”. Not till I saw this thread was it clear this is a widespread issue. At least let support know so they don’t give us false info!

  • icebergcheese harmony🍊 (@icebergcheese) reported

    @Telstra I got an email about my prepaid plan changing, most details are fine but y are you getting rid of roll over? I'm on prepaid because I'm not made of money, the roll over is an important feature of prepaid, don't get rid of it! Yes this is a complaint.

  • Chrus_3 Chrus 🦖 (@Chrus_3) reported

    @Telstra My favourite part of that trip is when I call the business tech support line and somehow and up speaking to consumer support, who inevitably tell me I need to speak to business support. Sure, what number to I need to call, i ask... Can you guess what number they give me???

  • ProstheticAIM That Tesla Guy 🇦🇺 (@ProstheticAIM) reported

    @electricfuture5 @Telstra @andy_penn Sounds like someone called through to technical support?

  • electricfuture5 Electric Future 🇦🇺 🚗⚡☀️ (@electricfuture5) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @PIoughmansLunch @perrystephenson @Telstra Nope “might be down for maintenance”. Tbh they are trying but the system seems completely ******.

  • Robs_au Robert S. (@Robs_au) reported

    @Chrus_3 @Telstra What a quandary. I mean that’s commitment to customer service and evidently he’s helpful… but should he be working?

  • ConnorORiordan1 Connor O'Riordan (@ConnorORiordan1) reported

    @Optus seriously sort your ******* internet out, how I could spend 2 years in Adelaide with Telstra and not lag once but now I'm in Tooradin I lag my tits off. Seriously sort your **** out

  • tuppaware Adam Ware (@tuppaware) reported

    @__rymac @ryanjchr @jaronmc Cause a state gov deal was done before NBN with Telstra (who didn't want to do it) in that area when they built the new children hospital to get rid of the exchange and move everyone forcibly over to the fibre. Telstra never upgraded or updated it, NBN doesnt want to touch it.

  • electricfuture5 Electric Future 🇦🇺 🚗⚡☀️ (@electricfuture5) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @PIoughmansLunch @perrystephenson Haha I know. This whole esim implementation on Telstra is completely ******. Worst I’ve seen in the world.

  • luchilton Cooked! (@luchilton) reported

    @Telstra @telstra is continuing to push the like that I’m being forced to agree to direct debit on my account, as opposed to the way I’ve paid my bills for a DECADE! If that’s how you treat loyalty, you’ve lost me

  • sirdansmith Dan Smith (@sirdansmith) reported

    does anyone have any experience with mobile companies on the Telstra network that aren't Telstra? Unfortunately the Optus signal inside our house is not enough chop to make phone calls

  • teliferous perfect teatime (@teliferous) reported

    @Chrus_3 @Telstra Oh no! Poor guy. And poor you as well. 😔 Good luck dealing with Telstra

  • FionaLakeAus Fiona Lake (@FionaLakeAus) reported

    Dear @Telstra; it's 50 weeks since I lodged a billing complaint. The form you fill in so things will be attended to within 2 weeks. Haven't heard boo. Where's my refund? Hurry up, or I'll add your rate of interest.

  • chrisgj198 Chris Jones (@chrisgj198) reported

    @VK1MIC @Telstra Maybe use ALDI - same network as far as I know, but still more than $50.

  • _thisismatt_ _thisismatt_ (@_thisismatt_) reported

    @craigmutton @Telstra Not just you mate :( looks like widespread issues and the support team don’t even know. Have been trying since Friday.

  • craigmutton Craig Mutton (@craigmutton) reported

    @Telstra I got a new iPhone … my old one has an eSim, I want to transfer it to my new phone. Called your call centre and guy told me I had to go to a store or chat. Tried chat still no solution. This should be easy. HELP

  • FreshOuttaFkks FreshOuttaFkks (@FreshOuttaFkks) reported

    Ok Tweeps, need Internet + TV provider pls. @Telstra are abt as shite as they come. —-Price increases ✅ —-Slow speeds ✅ —-Terrible service ✅ —-No customer loyalty ✅ —- DISCRIMINATION ✅ Can’t be too hard to improve on that surely?

  • Chrus_3 Chrus 🦖 (@Chrus_3) reported

    Calling @Telstra tech support is always such a great experience. Highlights include the guy who excused himself TO GO AND THROW UP!!! 🤮🤮Then when he came back couldn't stop his hickups.

  • Chrus_3 Chrus 🦖 (@Chrus_3) reported

    @Telstra I would love to have a tech investigate, Jimmy. But so far, nobody has been willing to even TRY and help me. I somehow keep ending up at the wrong department. It's always someone elses problem and they cant help me.
