yeah yeah its anne (@annabell_JG) reported@Telstra why does overtime telstra app updates on my mobile suddenly I have to change all my login details passkey etc. This is very frustrating @telstra
-
Travis (He/Him) (@TravGee1980) reported@Freo_Dale @Telstra I received the same email. I investigated other SIM only plans and found out I can get unlimited calls & 10 X as much data for $1 less per month. I've been a Telstra customer for nearly 20 years but it just doesn't stack up financially anymore to stay with them
-
TheGrassman (@TheGrassmanVT) reported@Telstra My Dearest Matthew, Thank you for reaching out to my tweet of frustration and anger, i would like to first apologize for calling Telstra a nerd. while i did not expect a response i will gladly reply with the status of my network.
-
Steve (@LegendOfSven) reported@estratgen My internet is ok apart from being slow and expensive but I get the same with 5g. Constantly dropping and reconnecting every half hour or so. So much for paying more so I can have Telstra because it's "more reliable"
-
CherylSlocombe (@Demonchessa) reported@Telstra 2 days to get expiring account management authorisation 4 2 people 4 elderly relative [mobility issues], MOBILE but NO internet renewed. She verified both on phone. Had to use “Fault”with my phone number to get a human to deal with. Have Ref number today only 1 verified

Its Mud Yam Mud (pronoun half) (@IMudlet) reported@SocialPiranha3 @jumbarrawa I am stuck with telstra down here and SPIN in sydney
-
Andrew Godman (@Andrew_Godman) reported@Telstra Yes, they said there’s no issues…
-
Con! (@c0n_AU) reported@JC47053522 @JohnOBrien101 Just like AusGov has some minor ownership of Telstra and Qantas, but has no say in their horrible business decision either!
-
yeah yeah its anne (@annabell_JG) reported@Telstra prices of plans going up but half the time you loose reception go shopping in supermarkets/train locations reception gone we pay top dollars and get horrible service if complain told oh its difficult indoors! Interesting how lower income countries have better reception!
-
Tyler Telfer (@Tyler83069242) reported@BarbaraPocock Telstra learnt to never to trust Accenture.
-
Aussie Diana S 🇦🇺 (@DFactualists) reportedBloody @Telstra again!! Click to open My Telstra app won't work again all the bs name dob pw us ffs! Imagine some old person having this trouble every few weeks.
-
Jared (@Jerb2k12) reportedThe worst part about footy season… That god damn Telstra ad
-
Michael (@MSVLKnight) reported@PeterWMurphy1 In defence of telecomms in this country - Telstra has been obligated under the Universal Service Obligation to provide the first landline at a premises for the same price - regardless of location at the same price as the first line in a CBD. This does not apply to Vodafone...
-
Mel (@its_me_mel_xx) reportedI'm almost done with @Telstra. Two months in a row I've had bill problems with Foxtel by Telstra. I tried to cancel it a couple weeks ago but they gave me a good discount. Get new bill today, discount applied BUT the price of it went up, wiping out the discount. 🤬🤬
-
Miles (@Michael1953_202) reported@Telstra New NBN, wanted Foxtel, bought Fetch. But Fetch can’t get Foxtel, can’t cancel, no refund no return, throw the Fetch box in the bin, or they said “they would recycle it responsibly”. Now I want some real science, an energy balance not virtue signalling .
-
The Lord (@lord_tizza) reportedAnd Telstra support said it was a fault, after a hour and a half of trouble shooting. I checked NBN and looks like a service outage in our area - checked a couple of addresses in our road. How long do these usually take to resolve? I was looking forward to a good long weekend :(
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@LambDownUnder @bigboatbruce @james00000001 We never had true competition before because Telstra controlled it all. We wouldn't be in the mess if LNP didn't sell Telstra as a single entity despite being advised to split. Then they wouldn't split and participate in the nbn build similar to NZ.
-
Jonty Hare (@jonty_hare) reported@Telstra here’s some free advice: your new messaging is terrible AI slop, it is like talking to ChatGPT. I know you probably thought people wouldn’t be able to tell but we can.
-
Scrumblebum (@scrumblebum1) reportedI wonder when @Telstra will ever get down good coverage for their mobile phones in the mounts. It’s 2026 for gods sake. , you charge heaven and earth for services and constantly fail to deliver. Thank to telstwa I have missed 3 medical calls. You’re a ******* joke.
-
notonlyacocky (@hasselljpb) reportedI had to help a tech at the local ph tower last night because the power tripped. (Access in the night is a bit dodgy) Electronic lock that needed guess what? Phone coverage!!! Lucky it was an @optus tower and he had @Telstra You can’t make this up!!!
-
Hydra Boom (@HydraBoom) reported@Telstra No outages, just the pathetic mobile coverage that is our only back up for nbn. Keep putting your cgarges up and the service keeps declining. You know about this problem, its been reported multiple times, fix the tower already.
-
MetOshi (@met_oshi) reported@RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs Optus and Vodafone had to rely on Telstra, since Telstra owned the network. It wasn't until the government set up a service and bought back the network that things started to change
-
Jonathan Borges (@bo10546) reported@AFL @kylie @Telstra And not a **** was given that day.

🇺🇦Hans Orph🇺🇦 (@HansOrph) reportedCya Telstra you've increased the price for the second time in <12mths, aren't willing to even discuss it beyond "it is what it is, we're the best" (paraphrasing). So @Telstra's lack of client retention attempts has lost me as a customer. I'm paying out and moving on.
-
Talya (@talyasalem) reported@calhinton @BenryintheBooth Hell the $99 annual fee with telstra was a damn steal at this point
-
EVStraya (@EVStraya) reported@electricfuture5 @Telstra Lack of data in shopping centres consistently was the main reason for me moving. Was going on for 6+ months. Went into the Telstra shop and they were all on wifi. With Optus now, obviously have their own history but I have had far less issues with them.

Twinks and Totes (@Twinkocalypse) reportedAnybody else in Melbourne experiencing very poor Telstra mobile internet access? #melbourne

George 🦊 (@PossiblyGeorge) reported@FOXFOOTY The Jim's Mowing Wildcard Round The Bunnings Wildcard Round The McDonalds Wildcard Round The AAMI Wildcard Round The Telstra Wildcard Round The Coles Wildcard Round The Chemist Warehouse Wildcard Round And it all still sucks. Bin it

Shanks_🇦🇺⚒️🥋✝️ (@Shannon37683302) reported@QBCCIntegrity We should have never privatised Telstra or NSW Energy. We are all paying more for it
