    @__rymac I use 5g a lot when my work network is terrible. Why I complain but also still go with Telstra

  • NormanKamba Norman Kamba (@NormanKamba) reported

    I hope Telstra taking over Digicel PNG is with Bona Fide. Otherwise I our rural mobile network services will slowly decline. Farewell Digicel PNG.

  • AllanDa85086315 Allan Daniels (@AllanDa85086315) reported

    @MichaelSpring17 Statement? You are Telstra. I let out a giggle. He became angry. Said, **** you, you ******* arsehole. I had fun.

  • 8020Mentor Read Behind The Lines-Fully 💉 (@8020Mentor) reported

    @Telstra Every single time I make a complaint, you send me a new modem without checking anything whatsoever. It works few days and then, same crap, different day. Even worse, you have increased the bill so basically I'm paying for something I have never received as promoted.

  • jeffreys_jake Jake Jeffreys (@jeffreys_jake) reported

    @MichaelSpring17 I had similar call. As I don't have Telstra internet, I pointed it out. He still kept arguing. I said you're a scammer. He replied "That's bullshit ,how do you know I'm a scammer"I said"because Telstra wouldn't say bullshit,**** off"

  • scrumblebum1 Scrumblebum (@scrumblebum1) reported

    @Telstra customer service call centre are great now. Pity the back end is still way behind looking after customers.

  • Serendipidude Im PRGay (@Serendipidude) reported

    @tuppaware Telstra has always been most $ per MB on any service since data was a service. That isn’t even the reason why i’ve not been a Telstra customer since mid 90s.

  • suburban_melb Suburban_Melbourne (@suburban_melb) reported

    @chris_ede_ @davesayys @tuppaware Would also recommend Vaya ($24 for 24GB) or Spintel who has something similar. Both have good customer service & don’t use annoying tactics like Telstra does to get you to spend more.

  • hpglassford Heather Glassford (@hpglassford) reported

    @MichaelSpring17 It's probably just some average person's number. My number has somehow been used several times, and when I've returned missed 'spam' calls they have been normal people with no knowledge of the call. I'd like to know what @Telstra is doing about this issue.

  • peterlubulwa 🤷🏿‍♂️ (@peterlubulwa) reported

    @alexbhathal The problem is telstra...

  • WilliamGill11 William Gill (@WilliamGill11) reported

    @Telstra @andy_penn Then today a message suggesting that I was the one to cancel Dear WILLIAM, Thank you for contacting us regarding the return of your online order LYO54196129. We're pleased to advise that a refund has been applied to the same credit card you used to make your purchase. Please al

  • WilliamGill11 William Gill (@WilliamGill11) reported

    @Telstra @andy_penn Sorry as I said I don’t know how I am elderly so don’t understand these things Guess I have to put it down as a bad experience as you are the 4th person I have spoken to I have given you them my order number All they had to do was look at that they would see my e mail

  • kenmaharchitect Ken Mah (@kenmaharchitect) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    Our pm is doing a good job with fostering good relations with countries around the region including our pacific neighbours. But? Why do we have to pay Telstra, a private company, to help keep Huawei out? This is not fair competition, it has anti China components and unnecessary.

  • kryptix_au yjma kryptix (@kryptix_au) reported

    Telstra is the worst and most unreliable network i have ever used, no doubt about it.

  • TroyTresidder Troy Tresidder (tartlette) (he/him) 18+ only (@TroyTresidder) reported

    @MichaelSpring17 The number changes, and our calls like this mostly come from numbers with an 03 area code. I pushed them to actually tell me the name of the person "Telstra" were trying to contact. Eventually the flustered caller replied, "Your name is 'F*cking Idiot'". It's fun.

  • beema41 Bundjalung Farmer (@beema41) reported

    @MichaelSpring17 I regularly receive similar calls about my Telstra broadband connection being cut off too. The only issue I have is that I don’t have a Telstra broadband connection. However I still go through the process of seeing what I can do to fix the problem. It’s amusing.

  • MichaelSpring17 💧🌱Michael Springer🕯 (@MichaelSpring17) reported

    I supposedly received a telephone call from Telstra this afternoon about my broadband. The only problem was the call came from a suspicious mobile number. When I told the caller I would end the call and then call Telstra back he hung up immediately. Watch out for 0418015805.

  • BARGH3ST bone music (@BARGH3ST) reported

    have a functioning network telstra have a functioning network please please please im begging you

  • queglay Andrew Graham (@queglay) reported

    How bad is it to switch from #NBN FTTP to #telstra #5G for the home? Pretty bad. Ping variance from 40ms-190ms and dropouts. Still can’t work from home reliably.

  • NellCathy cathy nell (@NellCathy) reported

    @MichaelSpring17 Could you hear multiple people talking in the background and a really poor line? I always ask why they have such a bad line if they are phoning from Telstra? Normally brings call to a quick end.

  • beigewash ☮️ beigewash - PREFERENCES DID MATTER (@beigewash) reported

    @MichaelSpring17 Got same call to my mobile late morning. From different number. Supposedly from Telstra about my broadband having issues. Didn't get far enough to find out what the scam was

  • alexbhathal Alex Bhathal 🌻 (@alexbhathal) reported

    Is anyone else having problems with Telstra Boost wifi?

  • micmac907 Micmac777 (@micmac907) reported

    @AllanDa85086315 @MichaelSpring17 Occasionally I have fun with these callers too. Play along with them, but then tell then , my husband/ friend/ I work for telstra/ nbn / Microsoft...ill get them to fix it.....I then get the beep beep of being hung up on!

  • PieDivide Pie 💚💫 | パイ (@PieDivide) reported

    @Mikuuyu well at least they've stopped, one less thing to worry about lol yep, i'm exactly the same, bc otherwise yeah it's just companies like "Telstra" claiming that i've been "compromised" and i just hang up immediately whenever that happens haha

  • BCoppick Brenton Coppick (@BCoppick) reported

    @Telstra @hpglassford @MichaelSpring17 Contact Jim Browning in the UK or search via Social Media . He professionally hunts them down and reports on You tube blogs or on BBCTV. He will give you IP addresses for all the scam sites, GPS Locations and Floor levels of Buildings in Kolkata and Mumbai , India , plus Cypress

  • mickytill Mick3y Till (@mickytill) reported

    @DougCameron51 @Mark_Butler_MP You so right Doug the bull💩 about the debt is a rubbish excuse. There are so many other places to improve the bottom line. Always hit the hardest hit people. Never claw back subsidised companies! We just helped Telstra buy into the Pacific Islands, do I get a share of Profit?

  • asimonlee1 asimonlee (@asimonlee1) reported

    @wmdglasgow We used to have Huawei in our core network. Telstra detected a patch sent to a router. The new software sent some network traffic to China then deleted itself. Since then every Western country has removed Huawei equipment. Will it work if they decide to invade a neighbour? No.

  • zzbrgood Bruce Goodwin (@zzbrgood) reported

    @MichaelSpring17 I get them frequently from people claiming to be from Telstra. Problem is I deal with Optus. Sometimes I swear at them, sometimes I humour them for a few minutes, but mostly I just hang up.

  • WilliamGill11 William Gill (@WilliamGill11) reported

    @Telstra @andy_penn LYO54196129 Is the number they have just refunded money today The issue is I didn’t want a refund I wanted Telstra to honour their commitment to me to supply the Watch to me as that is what the agreement was 6 weeks ago But they decided to hold onto my money

  • dreaminofmads liv (@dreaminofmads) reported
