  • lakeside_farm Lakeside Farm (@lakeside_farm) reported

    @Telstra Was crape but guess has become ****. So could say was the same. I live between 4 towers and it's hopeless thanks Angela for reply. But Ballidu is location but currently between wogan Ballidu Kondut Pithara and Miling towers and very poor.

  • absolutelyallan 𝖆𝖑𝖒𝖔𝖘𝖙 𝖑𝖊𝖋𝖙 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖇𝖚𝖎𝖑𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 (@absolutelyallan) reported

    @Telstra The telephony side drops out unexpectedly once or twice a day & the modem/router needs to be reset. Sometimes even a hard reset will not fix the problem unless it's performed several times.

  • tezlefty Terry Constanti (@tezlefty) reported

    @abittotheleft @jmil400 @MikeCarlton01 Argument can be made for CW bank QANTAS Telstra. Worst was Post. AP is hopeless. States splitting & privatising Utilities, Howard the CES, Morrison the public service… some worse than others.

  • Pillai_Pri Priyanka Pillai (@Pillai_Pri) reported

    Both companies saying completely different things to me. Telstra says go into the store as they can't do anything. I go in and the good guys say porting order is stuck. Needless to say I will be cancelling my order and never buying anything from @Telstra or @TheGoodGuysAU 7/7

  • drivetrucksinoz idrivetrucksinoz (@drivetrucksinoz) reported

    @purlenko @OzraeliAvi phones have IMEI numbers attached which registers on the network. Telstras mobile IT system will show which phone IMEI is attached to whatever simple card. same as when you report your phone stolen Telstra will block that IMEI number from being able to be used on any network

  • absolutelyallan 𝖆𝖑𝖒𝖔𝖘𝖙 𝖑𝖊𝖋𝖙 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖇𝖚𝖎𝖑𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 (@absolutelyallan) reported

    There's something wrong in this Country when a major telephone operator like @telstra cannot run a service where your landline has no service at least twice a day & when you lose phone service with a power outage. Moving to VOIP was a huge mistake. We need an #NBN RC! #auspol

  • Heath_McGregor Heathypops (@Heath_McGregor) reported

    @Telstra We just talked to your faults team. Same old response. No timeline to fix.

  • Gary_AE Gary Austin-Eames (@Gary_AE) reported

    @Telstra Dear Jay, lost Internet again,had to reset modem, finally came back up. Checked app, no records of any faults ever being logged. 4g backup did not work on modem, makes for fun when working from home. Don't have time to discuss this now, just need someone to fix the bloody thing.

  • g_mann43 Gavin (@g_mann43) reported

    @CocoaFox023 @PRGuy17 Ok, so he knows he used an Android phone... So that's 60% 9f the population. Now he knows he's using the Telstra network... Is that now 50% of the population ?

  • Verboskitty Omit the Union Jack (@Verboskitty) reported

    @pfbt @meagrebones I had a nice surprise yesterday from Telstra. I queried the latest bill for my iPad - $15 pm instead of $35 and an upgrade to 5g. My only complaint was - why did Telstra not explain the change on the bill.

  • Kareeming_1 Kareeming 🇦🇺 🐴🐯 (@Kareeming_1) reported

    @BrownSquirrel @Telstra Messages are a pain, I prefer to talk to the scammers, it's good fun, then just hang up when you're over them.

  • BrislinDavid David Brislin (@BrislinDavid) reported

    @rohan_connolly @Qantas With how ****-house Qantas treats its workers and customers, surely it's time for people to vote with their feet and just not fly with them. They seem to have the same attitude as Telstra; we're king of the oligopoly and you don't have a choice, when the opposite is true.

  • figspowart Selina Spowart (@figspowart) reported

    Never thought chatting with Telstra would be the highlight of my day, but the agent's name is Genghis. Outstanding.

  • lakeside_farm Lakeside Farm (@lakeside_farm) reported

    @Telstra I shouldn't have to buy a booster if telstra provided a better service. Bit like buying a new car but then you have to bring your own battery for it. Seem silly to be honest. Not your fault Angela but if you pass it on who knows

  • TamblynBlaire a Blaire in there (@TamblynBlaire) reported

    @Telstra are the VERY VERY WORST EVER!!!!! wasted 30 minutes so far with NO HELP from the CSO on the other end. Could nto even send me a one-time code within 10 minutes, and they state it expires in 5 minutes. SERIOUSLY!!!

  • DylightfulAU Dylan (@DylightfulAU) reported

    I'm about halfway through migrating my 300+ customers away from @Telstra , the corruptness of this company and its never-ending attempts to scam their customers is astonishing.

  • lakeside_farm Lakeside Farm (@lakeside_farm) reported

    @telstra your signal is **** fix it can't even make calls. All good if I live in city wish there was another provider

  • sonu862004 Sujeet Sonu (@sonu862004) reported

    @Telstra @Telstra_news @telstracareers Belong service is worst… can’t call and email takes a day to respond. Nonetheless I have cancel my service.

  • simonwaight Simon Waight (@simonwaight) reported

    So @Telstra, security and protection of your customer’s accounts can only be performed “during office hours”? Guess that’s fine because no hacker works outside those hours. Horrendous.

  • Shogan_Scrub @Neil from Down Under (@Shogan_Scrub) reported

    @JonesHowdareyou @deniseshrivell 1/2 - Telstra as a whole should never have been privatised either, instead it should have remained the sole communications infrastructure builder, provider & wholesaler...

  • AbbYoLyn Call me Abby 📷 (@AbbYoLyn) reported

    @rick_rampal @RichardManes5 Mine's a "cheapie" from Telstra The A51. Not a bad phone at all, had it for a few years now and no dramas with it.

  • LeahZBurgess Whynotaye (@LeahZBurgess) reported

    @telesynth_hot I was too young to give a **** about Telecom in the 80s. Telstra, however

  • wilmateas Matt E (@wilmateas) reported

    @Telstra @jezryan21 Same issue - 2 hrs wasted tonight

  • Paradoxa18 Paradoxa (@Paradoxa18) reported

    @bees_oz @VictoriaPolice Sadly, this is not always true. You can have a fire burning at emergency level within 15 km & NOT get an emergency text message. Found out Nov 2019. Telstra says service "Not available" Truly diabolical, esp in areas where fire risk is high & net/mobile service unreliable.

  • BrownSquirrel BrownSquirrel (@BrownSquirrel) reported

    @Kareeming_1 @Telstra I do when they hang around long enough but these ones cut off when you answer or when they answer if we call back otherwise I have fun with them too

  • notguilty_hey Not Guilty 😊 (@notguilty_hey) reported

    @Telstra @andy_penn Thanks, I have a lovely case manager now trying to wade through the mess that's been created by departments not communicating properly, an utter disaster for a PA customer of 30yrs+ & left stranded with no service, complete s**t show of incompetence.

  • Pillai_Pri Priyanka Pillai (@Pillai_Pri) reported

    The worst customer service experience ever with @TheGoodGuysAU Preston store. We were given a deal on a fridge if I ported from Optus to @Telstra. Porting hasn't gone through and partial payment for the fridge already made but we have no update on when we will get it 1/7

  • Marj00356775 Marj Borthwick (@Marj00356775) reported

    @Choldie1 @bruce_haigh I hope essential services in WA are never privatized. It's a furphy that private ownership is better than public - look at Qantas, Telstra, childcare, energy in eastern states for starters.

  • dandoolyy Dan (@dandoolyy) reported

    WHY IS MY INTERNET SO SLOW IM USING NBN AND ITS SO SLOW THIS MORNING @Telstra

  • Pillai_Pri Priyanka Pillai (@Pillai_Pri) reported

    I get a call from @TheGoodGuysAU this morning and they say the same thing - "The issue has been escalated and the porting will happen any time between now and tomorrow night". I check with @Telstra and they say both orders have failed and I will need to go back in store 5/7
