Telstra Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Gloria Balogh Gottlieb (@BaloghGottlieb) reported@sarahinthesen8 Sarah Hanson Young She who turns off comments had audacity to note Telstra should compensate customers EVEN IF UNABLE PROVE DAMAGE this GREEN idiot obviously does not understand reality life cost would be unjustifiable grotesque and unwarranted What imbecile.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@CrySlyFly @ialihasaan @Batman2242 Telstra were unwilling to structurally separate to allow the infrastructure side of the business build the new network. Telecom had plans to do fibre upgrades but got shelved when they became privatised.
-
Aberrant Gentile (@AberrantGentile) reported@nemagovau If i receive the alert on the phones i had to replace because they couldn't call one number on one network that i don't use, "000" on Voda network. Then i want those phones imei numbers reinstated on the Telstra & Optus, that i have sims for. The public/private partnership scam
-
Josh (@joshatticus) reported@NikkiGemmell The government is stupid and didn't force the carriers to push the carrier bundles to older iPhones, so the ********* at Vodafail, Floptus and Telstra only pushed it to iOS 26.4 and later! Android devices got it fine though
-
AliciaGJ 🖤🤍 (@aliciagjones) reportedWhat in goodness name is going on with @Telstra services in Melbourne? It’s never been soooo bad.
-
Amicus Curiae (@AmicusCuri99068) reportedoh yeah WE KNEW THAT! coverage went to **** and still IS!4gs ****** It’s true; the 3G shutdown created mobile coverage ghost towns Telstra chief executive Vicki Brady has revealed a Starlink workaround for Australians unable to call triple-0 after the 3G shutdown created mobile dead zones. (paywalled Tiser)
-
Simon Cotter (@SimonCotter62) reported@goodfoodgal It was all about the money/share prices and to test our compliance. We passed with flying colours (most of us) We now add the national telstra emergency alert to QR codes, cameras etc and then all we need is a social score system. “ none shall buy or sell except with the mark”
-
💧💦Tara Venn (@TaraVenn) reported@deborahbrian Me. Probably due to Telstra black-out/inteferance from Pitch Black... I suppose defence (spelt with a 'c' cookers) takes precedence over Emergency Alerts? 🤔
-
Paddy (@Dabatsau) reported@7NewsMelbourne But you still have to go with an Aus provider as they own the leases on the spectrum it uses and are the only ones to provide service in buildings and high density areas. Optus & Telstra already can provide sms via starlink with calls and data in a few years. So no - the major telcos are not under threat.
-
Satoshi Goy (@satoshigoy) reportedThe fact that the emergency AusAlert didn’t reach Optus customers who had no Optus coverage, despite Telstra towers being available, is absurd. An emergency warning system should use any available network to deliver life-saving alerts—not fail because your own carrier is down. In a disaster, network loyalty shouldn’t determine who gets warned. This needs to be fixed before the next emergency.
-
Adésọjí (@sam4se) reported@cb_doge "Telstra CEO confirms Starlink could connect Australians in mobile dead zones to emergency services. Game-changer."

ted sowden - woke as!! 💧🌾🔥🚒🧸 💉💉💉🌈💡 (@sowdented) reported@noplaceforsheep l was shopp'n and had it in my back pocket!! checked it latter, "no sim, no service" on my opening page!! opened it up and didn't know if l had service or not!! sent my self a txt but didn't get it!! turned it off and back on, got the telstra bit, but still no msg!!
-
@ag6le.bsky.social Julian (@AG6LE) reported@ChinaSelect @RepMoolenaar .@Telstra rebadge their phones, and they are junk. They refused to replace my A5 (2017) (the TIO made them give me 6 month credit to compensate after they shut down 3G/NextG). Vodafone gave me an A17 to replace it,after I was using it as a modem.
-
Nate Svoboda (@gr8tsworld) reported@Starlink @Telstra The real breakthrough is turning “no signal” from a dead end into a temporary inconvenience.
-
Christian (@truechristianh) reported@realRick_AUS Don’t hold your breath! The aus government will reprivatise Telstra and ban Starlink before that happens. We’ll get higher prices and a shitter service!
-
Fran McInerney (@franmac44) reported@JonesHowDareYou Took me a while to log in this morning, Jenny, as X were presumably consulting with Telstra on service provision. I’m toasting Spain in the Executive Suite today. Stay rugged up🧣 Wordle 1,857 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🥳
-
DissentingSkeptic (@DissentingS) reported@naomibrockwell We were shown how the NSA have packet capture devices on all fibre network pipe routers. Telstra use one also to mass scoop traffic. For later decryption with Quantum computers they already have. Mobile is remotely hackable by design ! CIA tech for subliminal mind control.
-
Soloutionz (@soloutionz) reported@QBCCIntegrity Will it work when some foreign hackers take down Telstra lol
-
KateM (@KateMSce) reportedMelbourne, Aust: Has anybody else who is with Telstra (or Boost or ALDI mobile, etc) had calls going silent mid call and having to hang up and call again? Only started yesterday. Not just me .. two other people I know. Have lodged a complaint with @Telstra and waiting.
-
🦋 robertveneziano.bsky.social (@robertveneziano) reported@Telstra What about RCS support on iOS?
-
me (@Worthbeing) reported@Telstra Nil know outage except when I came back from FNQ the TV was dead, the issue I find is when the neighbouring Resort run by the NRMA have their guests the break down becomes worse, appearing to show the lack of band width,
-
Patrick 🇦🇺 (@pattpkr) reportedBypass Telstra entirely, and you'll see an entire network crumble it'd be glorious.
-
Chaz Michael Michaels (@centreozzy) reported@Batman2242 I remember before Telstra (telecom) at the time was privatised, phone calls and line rental was expensive. Since the phone network was opened up and privatised phone deals are way cheaper
-
Anna Basic (@AnnaBasic2) reported@RoadknightThe Yes but no even text message ping let alone some type of alarm they where carrying on about. My personal I pad and my work I pad both with cellular connections with Telstra never received a text at all or picked up on my phone receiving the message but no alarm. My Fitbit that gets all my texts didn’t get the text.
-
Kevin Trudeau 🏀 (@Kevin_NBL) reported@Telstra No, I don’t have the app. My Telstra service is via JB Hifi Mobile, so I don’t know if that makes a difference? Can I access it? But this email came directly from Telstra.
-
Josh (@joshatticus) reported@mar790032894313 @JoshButler The government is stupid and didn't force the carriers to push the carrier bundles to older iPhones, so the ********* at Vodafail, Floptus and Telstra only pushed it to iOS 26.4 and later! Android devices got it fine though
-
Mark A (@MarkA5859) reportedI really am angry the LNP rooted the NBN. Now I have to seriously consider Musk’s Starlink for my Internet especially since both Telstra & Optus have & are having issues.
-
Wicked Wickets - Tales of Women's Cricket (@WickedWickets) reported@AidenS2101 Nope, two iPhones were silent, Dad’s old cheap Telstra phone went off like a treat.
-
Chris (@Chrisjstony) reported@gjblue With about 180 new Appartmemts built less than 100mtrs from me in the past 10 years. Telstra bandwidth has failed. Telstra could not give a ****
-
Ian Linklater (@IanLinklater5) reported@Telstra Now about your accountability . How do I contact my service provider when you have shut down my ability to contact anyone ? I have been shut down since early am and is now late afternoon . Tuesday 28th of July. This is Bull **** service !
