Telstra Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • rohan3au Rohan Anderson (@rohan3au) reported

    @Dave__Robinson @sydney_ev Surely all service stations in Australia have a data connection for their payments? Even small eftpos machines just have a Telstra or Optus sim in them.

  • bjornengelhardt Bjorn Engelhardt (@bjornengelhardt) reported

    @Telstra I’m a Telstra customer for mobile and dont have any problems - except how hard it is to swap from prepaid to postpaid but hey….thats not a big problem. Just get one of your fancy big wigs to sort out Robbie

  • Zaunny Tom Zaunmayr (@Zaunny) reported from Derby, State of Western Australia

    Day 2: how any business happens in Derby is beyond me, truly the worst reception in an established town I have experienced. Telstra, Optus, Govt etc should be offering free service until they fix this mess.

  • JuleszVerne Jules (@JuleszVerne) reported

    Anyone else notice how terrible their Telstra mobile service is lately - even when it is on the "fast, 5G network" ??? hi @Telstra :)

  • calojoy1 calo joy (@calojoy1) reported

    @ashhstylesz @Telstra I had similar issue but the support service wasn't helpful not until I was referred to julia_codingdev Instagram who helped me in getting back my asset. She is helpful

  • odestino Destino ˢᶜᶜᵖ (10/10) 🇱🇧 + 🇵🇹 = 🇧🇷 (@odestino) reported

    @Telstra what a crappie chat bot. Also, why am I being charged for a service I’ve canceled last month in one of your stores?

  • bjornengelhardt Bjorn Engelhardt (@bjornengelhardt) reported

    @mcewenrobbie @Telstra Ive given up tweeting about poor service and now just leave them quietly and join someone else and give them a positive tweet or comment. **** companies have some poor social media jockey coping the brunt while the big ***** sip wine and talk about bullshit strategies

  • MG_1234_ Matt•G• (@MG_1234_) reported

    @MatthewT_82 @Telstra @mcewenrobbie You can even call Telstra!? Worst customer service experience I’ve had in my life

  • sonicfairy L A (@sonicfairy) reported

    @mcewenrobbie @Telstra The usual lip service! Customer service means nothing anymore. Profit, profit, profit!!!

  • TonyCollis Tony トニー (@TonyCollis) reported

    @Returnpuff Telstra are thieves. Left them in 1999 and swore never to give them another cent of my money

  • ttvitsJuzz Justin (@ttvitsJuzz) reported

    @XRPAussie @Telstra Mine is still down

  • LBazuyn Ludo Bazuyn (@LBazuyn) reported

    @mcewenrobbie @Telstra Wouldn't it be awesome if a large group of Robbie's Australian followers cancel their subscriptions as well. These companies need to get hit hard in the wallet if you want them to change policies #canceltelstra

  • bkp083 Ben (@bkp083) reported

    @mcewenrobbie @Telstra I completely agree. The amount of brain damage I had to go through with them over false data usage charges they were applying to my account was ridiculous.

  • fkn_bakez HALI ՝՞֊՞ (@fkn_bakez) reported

    @Master_Of_Me_ I worked for telstra 15 years ago, I used to call our customers and ensure they were on the right plans for mobile and internet and landline. (It was sales based) But they closed down all those call centres about 12 years back.

  • brianc2405 Brian C 🌏🌈 🇺🇦 (@brianc2405) reported

    @thegrumpypoof @Telstra Good luck, I had so much trouble getting a new modem to replace a faulty one took forever

  • jblair71 Jason Blair (@jblair71) reported

    Tried using @Telstra messaging service to find out about Bundle Plans & if I can combine my existing mobile services. Agent kept referring to home internet plans & wanted me to wait 10 minutes. It didn’t seem like they had a clue what they are doing. Experience -10 out of 10. 😡

  • 74ryanwilliams Ryan Williams (@74ryanwilliams) reported

    @mcewenrobbie @Telstra It very hard to get good service in Australia, have been in the same situation whilst trying to get NBN connected to a new build.

  • mcewenrobbie Robbie McEwen AM (@mcewenrobbie) reported from Gold Coast, State of Queensland

    Worst customer service I’ve EVER experienced. I spend $8k per year @telstra between my home, business & mobiles. Cancelling all of them

  • ashhstylesz Ash (@ashhstylesz) reported

    @Telstra Not able to download the app right now so how does that help?

  • tonkovsferrari Tonkovsferrari (@tonkovsferrari) reported

    @mcewenrobbie @Telstra Share dividend > customer service.

  • RobbiePBro Robert Broekman (@RobbiePBro) reported

    @mcewenrobbie @Telstra After Telstra saying they would fix it. Good move.

  • bikeboy1976 bikeboy1976 (@bikeboy1976) reported

    @mcewenrobbie @Telstra @iiNet can you help Robbie to make the switch

  • psmayo paul mayo (@psmayo) reported

    @mcewenrobbie @Telstra Mate, I had a telstra bloke want to charge me $90 to look at an unused modem, and then connect HIS phone and say it worked. Turned out a password had been put on it that was not factory and it was brand new. I’ve never been so angry at someone so smug.

  • MG_1234_ Matt•G• (@MG_1234_) reported

    @Telstra Absolutely not. You failed. You lost a customer. It can’t be repaired

  • StathHawk Peter Stathopoulos (@StathHawk) reported

    @Vergops @Telstra It was very distressing for my mother who was without a telephone service for a number of weeks.

  • JaapTimmer Jaap Timmer (@JaapTimmer) reported

    @juantouthrie @mcewenrobbie @Telstra To stay on the same monopolised grid and continue to pay too much for poor connection

  • secureisd Secure is D (@secureisd) reported

    @David_S_Dowling @Telstra My dad has trouble using his landline, let alone accept a push notification. He’d probably assume it’s a legal term for a charge of common assault.

  • DavidRafferton Wishing I was pedaling (@DavidRafferton) reported

    @mcewenrobbie @Telstra I’d tell my story of hell with Telstra but I’d be starting a thread that nobody would read to the end. Suffice to say, I’d rather tin cans and string than use Telstra again. I’d call them garbage but that’d be an insult to rubbish! Over priced & worst service!

  • ashhstylesz Ash (@ashhstylesz) reported

    @Telstra can y’all hurry up and fix your outages in SA. It’s been down since midnight

  • ashhstylesz Ash (@ashhstylesz) reported

    @Telstra Considering when I googled it that it shown me multiple outages in SA, I’d think so? You guys are seriously hopeless. I can’t even call you for help because the number and email address connected to my account is accessible anymore so I’m unable to even get past to an operator.
