  • MoonfireDragons Aurora The Crescent Star - LIVE @ TWITCH (@MoonfireDragons) reported

    @Telstra is being worthless again so stream will be stopped UNTIL they fix their **** yet again, im really sorry about this y'all, shits on 2g atm so i just cant stream simple as that

  • LovelockEdward Edward Lovelock (@LovelockEdward) reported

    @RickWatt9 @strangerous10 @softhardworker I’m with both for that reason. The very basic small business plan I took with Optus was much cheaper than Telstra who push “bells and whistles” I don’t need. Telstra has a superior network - less black spots than Optus.

  • btruax Brian Truax (🌳,🌳) (@btruax) reported

    @Telstra i'm really stuck and need some help. I have an iPhone 8 that's locked to the Telstra network. It was a gift from a friend. I need to contact Telstra to unlock it for me but it seems like only your customers can message you. How can we fix this? Please help.

  • sirris_83 Daniel Armishaw (@sirris_83) reported

    Shout out to @Telstra Macarthur for offering a 3 hour wait time to talk about my phone plan. Walked out sans phone and plan. Decided I didn’t need to wait that long to see if they were in stock. After last months $500 you may soon be sans customer.

  • ktxby rkc (@ktxby) reported

    I told her that if @Internode is merging with @Telstra, I consider my contract voided. I will not be a Telstra customer ever. She's now trying to sell me a new modem, when I don't need a new modem. FFS.

  • Diana5662996273 Diana56 (@Diana5662996273) reported

    @_AnthonyWA @JaiRitter3 @JJKALE2 I live 100kms from a Telstra shop. Was told to solve my issue had to go there. WHAT THE!!! Telstra is OK if you have no issues, deplorable if you do. Look up their current record number if complaints.

  • AlexDGlengarry Alex McDonnel (@AlexDGlengarry) reported

    @nineislands There is really only 2 providers - Telstra or Optus as they are the only companies who have network infrastructure. The small retailers use one or the other, name your poison!

  • _thomasparkes Thomas Parkes (@_thomasparkes) reported

    @Telstra having issues with 4G Eftpos at Stawell 3380 & Halls Gap 3381 not transacting, timing out, yet there is no outages on your list.

  • alexhardyACT Alex Hardy (@alexhardyACT) reported

    @Telstra I have been trying for a week to get my Telstra One Number working on a Apple Watch Series 8. Your support people tell me the latest WATCH is not yet supported by Telstra, that contradicts both Apple’s website and common sense. Frustrated.

  • miwright Mezza (@miwright) reported

    @nineislands What bits of Telstra don’t you like as there are a number of providers that use their network?

  • alexhardyACT Alex Hardy (@alexhardyACT) reported

    @Telstra You also don’t list the iPhone 14 on that page, are you seriously suggesting that Telstra doesn’t support the latest Apple devices?

  • CourtneyLee_33 Courtney Lee Thirty Three (@CourtneyLee_33) reported

    @PaulMathieson15 @_Anthony_WA @JJKALE2 They have never been better than Telstra. Not in my experiences

  • tezzr44 Tezzr44 (@tezzr44) reported

    @rosaliagordon @JulsTracy @ianbfarquhar Keeping passport details seems like a data gathering function rather than security. What possible reason for a telecom company . Pretty sure Telstra didn’t require passport ID to set up our account or iINET. WTF Optus !

  • jfshart Astra Seneca (@jfshart) reported

    @nineislands Aldi and Woolworths have good prepaid rates and use Telstra towers so coverage is good. You can join Woolies online if there’s no store near you, possibly same with Aldi. I’m with iiNet - good customer service but poor coverage since they went with Vodafone.

  • ACanGent ACG (@ACanGent) reported

    Telstra sucks, In particular their shopfronts, appalling service. @Telstra

  • ktxby rkc (@ktxby) reported

    wow @Internode is sooooo not what it used to be. Since when have your phone support services been offshore? Just had a lady trying to convince me to switch my mobile (during an enquiry about my NBN) by telling me Internode is 'merging' with @Telstra.

  • RoenDavis 💧Roen Lloyd Davis (@RoenDavis) reported

    @nineislands TPG? I’ve been with them several years now with no trouble. I believe they aren’t as wide reaching as Telstra but it hasn’t hampered me so far.

  • scottysgotagun Scottythedictator (@scottysgotagun) reported

    @_AnthonyWA @recneps51 @Optus I remember Howard saying the government had no right to be in the telecomms business, then he opened Telstra up to competition by allowing the Singaporean government owned Optus to set up shop, nice one Johnny Why pay Optus for a service puzzles me, a hereditary dictatorship

  • novahollandia Justin Holland (@novahollandia) reported

    @JJKALE2 I beg your pardon! Telstra service is NOT ****! It's not that good!

  • ThisiPhone1 weatherboard (@ThisiPhone1) reported

    @Telstra Thank you again Jo. While you’re here, could Telstra stop giving me late fees on top of my bills? I am on a low income and Telstra knows I have a HCC but still charges me extra just for being poor & behind in payments. I’m late paying because I struggle to make ends meet.

  • silne Sandra M (@silne) reported

    @nineislands My wife and I are with a Vodafone reseller (TPG) and no complaints. The kids are with AldiMobile who use the Telstra network and no complaints there either. I left Telstra in 2011 and never looked back.

  • glassdarkly6 glassdarkly (@glassdarkly6) reported

    @bustdboozehound @nineislands Yeah. Aldi on Telstra network. Schmick.

  • alan60341323 alan (@alan60341323) reported

    @nineislands Aldi plans are cheap and use Telstra network

  • Laralotus007 Laralotus (@Laralotus007) reported

    @nineislands MATE - you get the telstra coverage with great efficient service and its heaps cheaper.

  • bris_bear1 Bearish_X (@bris_bear1) reported

    @Brodhe Terrible. But I am still leaving Telstra for them. This could happen to any company in our online world of less privacy and security. The price for the internet.

  • Ozzytourer 💧Lucky Country with A Labor Govt!! (@Ozzytourer) reported

    @nineislands Are you after a phone or just a plan? Woolworths is actually reasonable on prices.... and it's still using Telstra network which is useful if you ever leave major cities....

  • robertditoro Robert Di Toro (@robertditoro) reported

    @bustdboozehound @nineislands Seconded! They use the telstra network, but it's been faultless. Been with them for several years, private and for my business.

  • TinkerTigerBell 💖🦄Stacey🦄💖 (@TinkerTigerBell) reported

    @MzChocThunder Stupid watch. Everything else is with Telstra

  • teigra_1 Tahlia Rose (@teigra_1) reported

    @nineislands I switched to Voda years ago. Excellent coverage. Where I live Optus is non existent & Telstra drops out. Good prepaid with heaps of data.. $40/month free talk & txt+ heaps of data. Is the only internet I have.Have travelled up to Qld & over to SA with no problems

  • JohnKotlash John Kotlash. Teacher, Unionist (@JohnKotlash) reported
