    @Telstra @DonERiQ One click of a button and Telstra can see quickly that his same device/IMEI connected perfectly 48 hours ago. Suddenly it doesn’t work. Outage checker shows no outages. It’s not even connected to the same “issue” database that Tori uses.

  • DonERiQ Don Eriq (@DonERiQ) reported

    @seqldr @Telstra I haven't had a signal on my personal phones since 2 days ago. My work one is functioning perfectly . They're on the same network. I don't understand why

  • DonERiQ Don Eriq (@DonERiQ) reported

    @seqldr @Telstra Yeh. The customer service has been horrendous.

  • SamGroeller SAM 🔺(🎩, 🧠,🐉) (@SamGroeller) reported

    Hi @Optus, Please fix your ****. Been a customer for 8 years and I still need to be credit checked to upgrade to a new phone & plan? Your servers won't even let a credit check through. Been here for over an hour and made 0 progress. Regards, Soon to be new @Telstra customer!

  • seqldr SE Qldr (@seqldr) reported

    @Telstra @DonERiQ Typical isn’t it. Inconvenience non technical people for half a day by swapping out SIM cards and fruitlessly restart and reset devices. Anything to take focus away from Telstra’s inadequately equipped network. Yet ur still sprinkling 5G like it’s the solution for everything!

  • DonERiQ Don Eriq (@DonERiQ) reported

    @Telstra As you can see since I gave you the reference number.. i gave it plenty of shots. They just didnt give a ****

  • FrankieJBroph Frank (@FrankieJBroph) reported

    Is there any other company as bad as @Telstra when it comes to trying to get through to an actual human on the enquiry line? They treat customers like we are their biggest problem rather than their greatest asset. Another John Howard achievement!

  • mattgillard Matt Gillard 🎄 (@mattgillard) reported

    @Telstra Yes. They said nothing they could do. I am a customer of 15+ years and have the price increase 200% is a bit rich.

  • LtzKotori Kotori (@LtzKotori) reported

    im honestly over @Telstra. when i first got my internet service it was alright but since then its just been getting worse and worse. raise complaints nothing gets done or they say they try to ring me and then cancel the complaint even tho i didnt get the calls

  • mattgillard Matt Gillard 🎄 (@mattgillard) reported

    @Telstra they were not helpful when I contacted them through the app. Formal complaint lodged.

  • NikkiKn84443633 Nikki Knight (@NikkiKn84443633) reported

    @Chrissy13308469 Go into either telstra or optus and find a young person to help

  • DonERiQ Don Eriq (@DonERiQ) reported

    @Telstra Yes. I have tried to reach out to Telstra multiple times but your customer service team has not been very helpful. My personal phone isn't detecting the network. I cant make calls, messages or connect the internet. Its not a phone fault because I can connect to wifi.

  • Prehstan ً (@Prehstan) reported

    @Telstra Ratio cause ur internet sucks

  • narayansmate Narayansmate (@narayansmate) reported

    @Telstra Moreover sad to say that 10 years ago, my home phone, internet and two mobiles were Telstra. Now, only this service left with Telstra.

  • DonERiQ Don Eriq (@DonERiQ) reported

    @Telstra Yes... over and over again. They said they would call me. But they haven't. With the level of competence I witnessed. They probably tried to call the device that isnt picking up the network instead of the alternative number i provided

  • DonERiQ Don Eriq (@DonERiQ) reported

    @Telstra I have said this to the customer service rep.. but they just keep repeating themselves over and over again. Turn it off.. reset network settings Switch sims. I tried a vodafone sim card on my phone and it worked perfectly fine

  • DonERiQ Don Eriq (@DonERiQ) reported

    @Telstra Im also able to use wifi calling and messaging but only to certain people. Its frustrating and I have wasted too much time on this issue and all ive been told is to turn my phone on and off

  • Rafecakes Rafe (@Rafecakes) reported

    @TWhaite @XboxANZ Yeah it's the worst mate. I literally had to order it from telstra to even have a slim chance. If they still have any available I would suggest that route...if you have a tesltra sub already.

  • EmilyDuryea Emily Duryea (@EmilyDuryea) reported

    @Optus We have spent hrs on the phone to Optus who are unable to fix our internet remotely, 2 times in the past 11 days they have told us they will send a technician to our address both times this hasn't happened and we only found out because we contacted Telstra to ask where the

  • DonERiQ Don Eriq (@DonERiQ) reported

    @Telstra Yeh and it says they've resolved it when I called yesterday. They haven't done **** but of course its "resolved"

  • narayansmate Narayansmate (@narayansmate) reported

    @Telstra Sure. The issue was that it was originally lodged in September. I had to lodge the documentation more than four times, inc. to a team leaders direct email, then at the end of September, nothing. And nothing since. And it was marked urgent.

  • mattgillard Matt Gillard 🎄 (@mattgillard) reported

    I don’t need extra data - its shared with my main phone which has 80GB of data which is the whole point of this service. @Telstra I opt out thanks.

  • DonERiQ Don Eriq (@DonERiQ) reported

    @Telstra About a million times now... that seems to be the only resolution you guys can think of

  • narayansmate Narayansmate (@narayansmate) reported

    @Telstra Hi Bek. Consumer to Consumer. I lodged a complaint,we have seen some movement. My issue is with outsourcing of call centres & Aus jobs has damaged my view of Telstra, imo. Previously, if I had an issue, call up, issue sorted in 10 mins or less. Much worse now, imo

  • leighbentley 💧 Leigh Bentley (@leighbentley) reported

    @sarahvmac I had this problem with ADSL a few years ago. The local 'Telstra pit' was always full of water after rain. I found wireless broadband was a great alternative to fixed line. You need to be near a mobile base station though. #Goodluck

  • cloudcitizen Graham Lauren (@cloudcitizen) reported

    SMALL BUSINESSES, YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO BECOME #Telstra VICTIMS. @Telstra @andy_penn @whirlpoolnetau #Telstra is effing useless at every customer-facing level. Departments incapable of communicating with each other. After six weeks, it still can't connect me post-move of house.

  • seqldr SE Qldr (@seqldr) reported

    @DonERiQ @Telstra They’re too damn big and profitable to even care. I couldn’t sleep at night being an employee of Telstra. They promise the world over and over again.

  • andymcblane Andy McBlane (@andymcblane) reported

    @circleslifeAU Do you offer Telstra network?

  • seqldr SE Qldr (@seqldr) reported

    @Telstra @DonERiQ Absolutely have no other choice but Tel$tra in regional Queensland. And they know that. Pitiful 4G reception and they can’t even offer us a single bar of 3G. God help us. It’s 2021 for gods sakes.

  • poppyred44 KP (@poppyred44) reported

    @Telstra The connect has been restored. The service seems slow.
