  • aroha_groves Aroha Groves #Always (@aroha_groves) reported

    @Telstra are just mucking with us now in this already isolated outback NSW town. Another example of the sub-standard service which results from privatisation. And don't bother replying when you can't actually assist. #auspol

  • MrsBker Ria - Sad Girl Autumn Version (@MrsBker) reported

    Email 17th June confirming @Telstra disconnection is finally underway after 3 months of phone calls. Today we got another bill. I am so damn tired.

  • bttaylor24 Brandon Taylor (@bttaylor24) reported

    @cryptocom your customer support and policies are worse then @Telstra. Atleast they read my messages instead of sending generic replies!

  • MickyG007 Micky.G (@MickyG007) reported

    @Telstra Thanks for the reply back. There is an outage in our area. Apparently it be back on by Wednesday. Not sure how we are to work from home and my teenage daughter is to study for her #HSC trials. Any ideas how you can help with all that #telstra?

  • Ancray Andy Craig (@Ancray) reported

    Telstra and NBN is nothing but a joke. 5 weeks in and still no connection to the network. The problems here are due to years of infrastructure neglect from privatisation and a half baked NBN roll-out from LNP. Time to try 5g from one of the others.

  • YBartolovic Yvonne (@YBartolovic) reported

    Some outages today @telstra ? Anyone else? Slow or out. 4/5g device. Have restarted the device. Ok for now. Couldn’t access the outages page cause well was out

  • mothmanthemoth mothman. / Eli (@mothmanthemoth) reported from Ballarat North, State of Victoria

    @NeptunianDreamz Even Telstra's kinda stinks these days. Went down to the Bellarine Peninsula this weekend and there were so many dropouts.

  • steveathon Steve King (@steveathon) reported

    Update. After 3 days of trying multiple times I am still unable to unrestrict my @Telstra service. Now the "report payment" screen just errors.

  • Mitch_it333 Mitch (@Mitch_it333) reported

    @Telstra I'm talking about when you call the Call centre for support. Every call centre staff should send a verification code to the Customer so they can only ask name and DOB. Nothing else. Not phone number, address etc when Call staff were from India they asked for 5 pieces of ID.

  • wheels002 Kerrie B (@wheels002) reported

    FFS, Telstra internet not working again. @telstra I can’t go through the nightmare of 3 weeks ago again.

  • jayemmdubblu Jase W (@jayemmdubblu) reported

    Who’s going to follow @Telstra s lead and bring their call centres and other service support jobs back to Australia?! Surely Qantas can…and oh oh oh…what about Pacific Brands? Remember when they sacked hundreds of manufacturing jobs? Bring it all home.

  • cocktortureYT cocktortureYT (@cocktortureYT) reported

    Still cant understand how telstra manages to completely ignore its customers at this point im kind of impressed how their service is this bad.

  • steveathon Steve King (@steveathon) reported

    @ok_lyndsey Ok @Telstra has officially replied and said that you can only call 132200 (their closed call Center) and 000 on a restricted service. Not even the SES!

  • m_a_n_u______ Manu Herold 🐭 (@m_a_n_u______) reported

    —> UPDATE <— my internet connection is suddenly working again. No technician had to come by to fix anything on my hardware or home connection. My neighbours didn’t experience any issues with the internet. I am waiting to hear back how Telstra fixed my internet connection.

  • StuartMediaNews Australian_6 🇦🇺 (@StuartMediaNews) reported

    @Telstra Got through on the link you provided. Payment made. Appreciate your help.

  • Sweetliltreat Charlie Valentine (@Sweetliltreat) reported

    *Little note* For some reason my phone is not receiving texts from Telstra for the past 24 hrs ~ Hoping to fix this tomorrow, sorry if I haven't gotten back to you xxx

  • MickyG007 Micky.G (@MickyG007) reported

    Great day to have a @Telstra internet outage. #SydneyWeather #sydneywildweather #telstra

  • BadTasteFPS Jonty (@BadTasteFPS) reported

    @Riskit4TB @Axer0nta @XboxSupport Just out of curiosity which isp is everyone with? Cause I’m wondering if there’s f*ckery going on specifically with Telstra users, cause I vaguely recall something like this happening once before regarding some service acting funny just for users of a certain isp here?

  • sacarlin48 Anne Carlin #WeAreAllPRGuy (@sacarlin48) reported

    @KiwiFunknuckle @CharmaineTT I have a $15 plan with Aldi with 3g data. It fully rolls over and never gets wiped out. I've now got about 17g to play with. I used to pay about $60 with Telstra. Love it.

  • ashkbne Ash ☁️ (@ashkbne) reported

    @jessmcguire What?! Twitter is the best way to get **** done. I only have twitter to whinge at Telstra and companies with other bad customer experiences 😝

  • BadTasteFPS Jonty (@BadTasteFPS) reported

    @Axer0nta @Riskit4TB @XboxSupport Yeah now that I think about it more, it was a psn issue specifically just in the ps4, like early last year & specifically for Telstra users I believe? It was very specific & very weird, & from what I remember it took awhile to be fixed so 😕

  • StuartMediaNews Australian_6 🇦🇺 (@StuartMediaNews) reported

    @telstra for 3 bloody days I have been trying to pay a bill. 3 days of error messages. Tried the ‘help’ link in the app cant get past the bot. Tried calling 132200, on hold for over an hour before giving up. Every damn month it’s the same issue. 1/2

  • Raiicrow Bird (@Raiicrow) reported

    Telstra can eat the biggest most unadulterated bag of ******* objects because it's been MONTHS after asking for a solution and 'UwU we can't do anything about this' Meanwhile NO-ONE but myself is using the net and HAHA WHAT IF PING WENT TO THE ******* MOON?! THAT'S FUN RIGHT?

  • StuartMediaNews Australian_6 🇦🇺 (@StuartMediaNews) reported

    @Telstra Apologies for venting. Just gets frustrating when payment links don’t function and the problems that that issue cause. Many thanks for resolving this for me.

  • LouiseM6531 Louise Middleton (@LouiseM6531) reported

    @aldimobile Aldi mobile is worthless in country QLD...no reception anywhere along A6...it's says it works on the Telstra network...clearly not true...no reception in Richmond

  • Trisha_is_Back Trisha_is_back (@Trisha_is_Back) reported

    @VaxxedCynic @LennaLeprena @piggywasadog So many are scam calls. Ive actually turned down the volume on my landline so i cant hear it ring. Just keep in case of mobile probs. So many faux Amazon, Telstra and others add to that realestate agents to see if I want to sell house. Im done with it. Mobile is best anyway

  • cocktortureYT cocktortureYT (@cocktortureYT) reported

    @Telstra Nah dawg we had like 6 people over to fix the problem but they did nothing

  • obliviousgeek Jason Arnold (@obliviousgeek) reported

    @Telstra Just tried that, they can't help me until they verify my identity by sending a code to my phone, which obviously doesn't work. Please escalate this as it's ridiculous - I can check my email but they won't send a code there.

  • StuartMediaNews Australian_6 🇦🇺 (@StuartMediaNews) reported

    2/2 Tried calling again today, got as far as the bot, then a ‘Sorry all Call Centres are closed’ call ended. One of these days Telstra will get their **** together, though I shouldn’t complain about their Customer Service because there is NONE. @Telstra

  • BGL66 BGL. 🇮🇱🇺🇸🇦🇺 Bill (@BGL66) reported

    @StuartMediaNews @Telstra Forget Telstra and forget bills. Get prepay ( not with Telstra) and never pay a wrongly charged bills. Telstra charge way too much for their prepay, way more than for their contracts.
