  • robdastolto Robert D'Astolto (@robdastolto) reported

    @Telstra I would expect a decent credit on my next bill. It’s basically been unusable for a week so I’m not paying for a service that hasn’t existed.

  • topoztours Top Oz Tours & Travel Ideas (@topoztours) reported

    @woolworths Mobile. Purchased prior to our latest Aussie van trip on the understanding this service utilises the @Telstra network. It’s worked once since we left the coast three weeks ago. Just saying. 😫

  • crickettragic33 Peta 🏏 (@crickettragic33) reported

    @Telstra my brother recharged his prepaid phone with $30 but it has not worked. It's been over four hours and the money has been taken from his bank account. Help please!

  • ZM51514869 ZM (@ZM51514869) reported

    @Telstra Have do that, your silver member support chat is still looping and not loading

  • sydneyshorts Malcolm Stokes 🐨 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 (@sydneyshorts) reported

    @Telstra So....I went to the Telstra shop and was told I couldn't get a modem unless I pay for it. This is not what your online service told me. They noted in my order their advice but store staff wouldn't even look it up.....I think it's goodbye Telstra

  • Koolabah1412 Koolabah (@Koolabah1412) reported

    @Telstra have you really removed the turn call waiting OFF service for all Telstra mobile customers? I have no choice but to have call waiting interrupting calls? Why???

  • Cameron55731325 Camsworld inc (@Cameron55731325) reported

    Hello Telstra For the past couple days I'm constantly having to restart my modem just to get internet and now it's flat out not working what do I do?

  • lee_jax_hazel Lee (@lee_jax_hazel) reported

    @duskywhalerkate @Cyclenut66 I think ‘tolerate’ is a generous interpretation of how we feels about those time windows! Telstra has a monopoly in many parts of aus. Which discredits their service delivery as any sort of standard to aim for. Tho, hc could also be viewed as monopoly - pts have little choice.

  • sydneyshorts Malcolm Stokes 🐨 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 (@sydneyshorts) reported

    @Telstra That will include my mobile service too once my contract finishes....so much for being a Silver customer

  • Siu0l Sot (@Siu0l) reported

    @FitzalanOscar @MrKRudd I reckon. Then Turdbull decided that copper, that telstra declared minutes to midnight, was a better technology. So we ended up with a noodle network that cost more. But it's Rudd's fault. Sounding like Turdbull and Abbott... But Labor

  • parkerfiftyone Tom Plevey (@parkerfiftyone) reported

    Just my weekly "Thanks!" to @TurnbullMalcolm for my internet dropping out in the rain. That rotten copper Telstra network that Ziggy himself told you not to buy was so nice we all paid for it twice.

  • vanross15 Peter (@vanross15) reported

    @Telstra Hi Ivan, finally got the response I was seeking. It’s just too much running around - stores won’t help, phone calls not answered and chat system has you repeating the same info over and over.

  • BCoppick Brenton Coppick (@BCoppick) reported

    @RavenZech2 I just tell them I used to worked for telstra and dont F me off thursday cause I know it takes their repair team 2 weeks to undo the damage I know I can do

  • ramadanbes Ramadan 🇦🇱 (@ramadanbes) reported

    Terrible service from @Telstra! Since moving into my newly built home back in June, Home Internet NBN hasn’t been working properly and they still can’t get it fixed

  • cavillsworth 𝐉𝐨 (@cavillsworth) reported

    @Telstra Hi Lisa, I came home to no internet connection. I checked both the NBN modem & Telstra smart modem and it looks like the NBN modem got fried due to lightning damage from the brief storm we had that rolled through Melbourne earlier.

  • sydneyshorts Malcolm Stokes 🐨 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 (@sydneyshorts) reported

    @Telstra That's not what your online customer service told me and now I will be taking my business elsewhere

  • hamishdoyle Hamish Doyle (@hamishdoyle) reported

    @Telstra here your daily reminder that your support team are useless. #sacktony

  • Sulphurcocky1 Sulphurcocky (@Sulphurcocky1) reported

    @CyberGovAU to use Telstra message. Logging in to verify is when I found the 2nd 4sec login to Telstra in that session - Changed password & my two email but was locked out thereafter. Visited Telstra w/ doco proof ID - they fixed🙏 but Yahoo👎 No go, Account takes 1 yr to cancel if unused😱.

  • vanross15 Peter (@vanross15) reported

    @Telstra, I have spent an hour on hold, then a further 2 hours of that damn chat it thing trying to get help regarding a replacement modem. Any chance a real person is available?

  • KimVivin1 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙚 𝙑𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙖𝙣 (@KimVivin1) reported

    @Telstra is your My Telstra not working? I can’t login for a couple of days now via app or browsers.

  • ginbaddie Zandee (@ginbaddie) reported

    In what world are people waiting 2 hours for a SIM replacement! Sort out your service Telstra #poorcustomerservice

  • 007kash Kash Papi (@007kash) reported

    @Telstra I STILL have no internet since Tuesday...I am tired of speaking to agents via the app and doing my own technical troubleshooting!!😡😡 If there is no technician sent out today, I will be closing this service and going to another service provider that takes customers seriously!🤯

  • manversusbean ManVersusBean (@manversusbean) reported

    Hey @telstra no internet in nsw 2010. Shouldnt your smart modem switch to backup 4G? Fix it or back to TPG we go…

  • ok_lyndsey Lyndsey Jackson (@ok_lyndsey) reported

    @justanotheramy @UndaSthnXiStand @Telstra The other issue is the vast number of smart devices and IoT sensors that can only connect to 3G. This issue is pretty hidden and won't be realised until things stop working. And that will be all sorts of home, remote monitoring, and on farm devices.

  • YugNivek Yug Nivek🐀 (@YugNivek) reported

    @43a6f0ce5dac4ea Actually it isn't in print at all, not in the privacy statement. I have read the whole damned thing. I found reference to Telstra keeping emails of Telstra employees for 7 years. However they made a boo boo & sent me 8+ yrs of my Deleted emails. Ombudsman was no help.

  • Michell97439304 Michelle (@Michell97439304) reported

    @KimVivin1 @Telstra @SOFTSPY27 on instagram or Twitter would help. They are good in recovering accounts I suggest you reach out to them.

  • Burner1115553 Shitposting_God (@Burner1115553) reported

    @DealerofPoop @TransphobicLs Fr wish I could support at&t but in AUS we only have Telstra💀

  • gedunsworth Ged Unsworth (@gedunsworth) reported

    @giveusaW @Kel_McFletch @Optus Telcos are disgraceful Martin. When Telstra failed me, and like you I needed Internet for work, I claimed $25k compensation for 30 days without service. They settled $10,000. Optus owe you similar.... Not to mention losing your personal details! Don't give up.

  • David12956286 David Monty (@David12956286) reported from Sunshine Coast, State of Queensland

    Its pretty poor of Telstra to have such a dismal service at Mudjimba caravan park with 500 people in it 3g one bar most of the time. I had better service a River Heads and thats in the middle of nothing.
