Telstra Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BanksyInc Adam Banks (@BanksyInc) reported

    @leftrefusenik @smartatarc So a Telstra issue = rise of authoritarian government. You're a twit.

  • Jenson_Melanie Melanie Jenson (@Jenson_Melanie) reported

    @Telstra some service today would be handy. Far out. Hopeless.

  • BJDevlin Brendan Devlin (@BJDevlin) reported

    On 6 sept I ordered a @Telstra phone. After 8 days I seek an update. No response. 3 days later, I follow up. Order cancelled internally, no contact, raise complaint. Today, I get contacted (after inquiring twice) & offered inferior product at the same price. Bye 👋

  • 80sbabeeAngel Meg 🕇 (@80sbabeeAngel) reported

    Well I tried to call which is hard since mum & I don't have a mobile plus I'm not up there to help trouble shoot. Well then I asked if they could at least check if her area is down and then he went to, and hung up Oh my Lord. Mum needs to switch over to Telstra Optus sucks

  • benroachie Ben Roache (@benroachie) reported

    @andy_penn This couldn’t be more disconnected from what your own office promised a year ago. This year’s iPhone experience has been the worst in a decade. Website that didn’t work. Chat support that was frustratingly hopeless. Hour long phone calls. 1/7 Telstra stores answer their phone.

  • Alpaca_Capital Alpaca Capital (@Alpaca_Capital) reported

    @7amahanti @OwenRask Rough. Very rough. Hopefully the 5G rollout gets you covered. Think Optus is $90/mo for their home service with speeds of +300Mb/s. Would be a win for a lot of people! 5G is the priority for Telstra and Optus, so hopefully their coverage rapidly improves.

  • JackScottAU Jack Scott (@JackScottAU) reported

    @parisba Good luck. I'm stuck on the "try and convince Telstra to give me a phone service" stage.

  • evfanboy1 D (@evfanboy1) reported

    @jenleahhh Telstra had an "outage"

  • topher_1976 💧Chris (@topher_1976) reported

    @BevanMoore14 Your tweet popped up on my feed somehow, but glad it did as I could relate (especially there, with exception of Telstra when it was company owned). I never had that issue with employers in Perth or Melbourne. Was I unlucky? Not sure.

  • cloudcitizen Graham Lauren (@cloudcitizen) reported

    @Telstra @andy_penn @whirlpoolnetau After 10 years with #Telstra as a business customer, it still can't fix the problem I have logging into my account. I no longer want to pay to be involved with such a truly pathetic, amateurish show. AVOID #Telstra, whatever you do.

  • ItsmeKhedi Lokesh (@ItsmeKhedi) reported

    @Telstra what a horrible order experience. Ordered iPhone 13, Telstra ships it to an unknown address, the delivery guy is unable to find the unkown address because it doesn’t exist, cannot cancel the order because it’s not complete. What a mess…

  • DanAdamsliberty The tree of liberty (@DanAdamsliberty) reported

    @LeeAdamWilshier @Kafwen1 @shravaka Even weirder, Telstra themselves (on their site) is not reporting the outage. So I guess they are covering it up, because third party outage sites, are reporting it. Not telstra themselves.

  • CGrandma55 CrankyGrandma55SewerRatAgedWelfareTrotBotCrood (@CGrandma55) reported

    Mobile Phone providers really need to up their game on tower coverage. That includes the big 2 @Optus & @Telstra. Our suburb is a black hole and the Qld Check In QR app is failing to connect to the Internet. even in big shopping centres. This a public health and Safety Issue.

  • cloudcitizen Graham Lauren (@cloudcitizen) reported

    @Telstra @andy_penn @whirlpoolnetau After 10 years with #Telstra as a business customer, it still can't fix the problem I have logging into my account. Its people must have to jump a very low bar to join. AVOID #Telstra, whatever you do.

  • taraashli Tara Pokarier (@taraashli) reported

    @Telstra I am so disappointed with your service. Your team has told me my item has been delivered, I contacted Australia Post & they haven’t even received the item yet to send out!

  • ross_baglin Ross Baglin (@ross_baglin) reported

    @errjustsaying @HollyMystkowski “They” didn’t. Telstra had an internet outage.

  • XMemor Memor-X (@XMemor) reported

    we got a new router, set it up, still nothing, call up Telstra again and they tell us they can't help because it's not their router 2 days later internet suddenly comes back on. no new router from them, no technician coming out and no call from Telstra

  • Tillytillyo666 Tillytilly (@Tillytillyo666) reported

    @jennywallace52 Is telstra down today ???

  • leftrefusenik Leftist Refusenik (@leftrefusenik) reported

    @BanksyInc @smartatarc Yes strawman, Telstra issue = authoritarian government.

  • forgiveluna Luna (@forgiveluna) reported

    @physicsfnt @Telstra i’m having issues with my internet

  • ItsmeKhedi Lokesh (@ItsmeKhedi) reported

    I call @Telstra support, the support person is so rude, says that i am lying and how can i have delivery details as they don’t even have delivery details on their system yet

  • cloudcitizen Graham Lauren (@cloudcitizen) reported

    @Telstra @andy_penn @whirlpoolnetau After 10 years with #Telstra as a business customer, my anger with Telstra must be bad for my health, if not my sanity. Its pathetic service does not deserve your business. AVOID #Telstra, whatever you do.

  • cloudcitizen Graham Lauren (@cloudcitizen) reported

    @Telstra @andy_penn @whirlpoolnetau After 10 years with #Telstra as a business customer, my experience is only of getting service from utter dimwits, using a broken system. No one can resolve customers' problems. Its service is pathetic. AVOID #Telstra, whatever you do.

  • ItsmeKhedi Lokesh (@ItsmeKhedi) reported

    Was so excited to get the phone on launch day… this order experience has been so stressful and frustrating. Literally no one is willing to help. I feel like a tennis ball between two companies @Telstra and Startrack.

  • DavidSandow1 David Sandow (@DavidSandow1) reported

    @katherinefeeney Like a solid rain forecast from the Bom or Telstra saying they’re upgrading the local phone network.

  • physicsfnt sussy (@physicsfnt) reported

    @forgiveluna @Telstra when ur that down bad even telstra doesnt wanna respond

  • wiredoug doug (@wiredoug) reported

    @Robin579384016 some telstra users have an outage ... therefore communism? Thats a stretch even for twitter. Oh look . That chair has 4 legs it must be a dog

  • _Reevesy_ Barry Mcokna (@_Reevesy_) reported

    What ever you do DONT buy a phone from @Telstra, they take the deposit send an email that everything is sweet then your order gets cancelled without a refund and you get ****** around for hours with no solution to the problem. Spineless cowards

  • cloudcitizen Graham Lauren (@cloudcitizen) reported

    @Telstra @andy_penn @whirlpoolnetau After 10 years with #Telstra as a business customer, even the help it provides, using its broken system, is dismal. No one can join the dots to resolve customers' problems. Its service is simply pathetic. AVOID #Telstra, whatever you do.

  • IAmRobFoster Rob™ by Rob Foster (@IAmRobFoster) reported

    @Telstra between the website debacle on pre-order night, the lack of information given in regards to deliveries, and the totally lackluster customer support, this whole iPhone situation is probably the worst product launch I've ever seen.
