Telstra Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NeelaJan Dr Neela Janakiramanan (@NeelaJan) reported

    @JonathonMomsen The reason WA could do what they have done is because people in other states were doing the heavy lifting. It astounds me how little people seem to understand what’s required of others for them to pop down to Coles and buy a banana. Or to Telstra for a new phone.

  • ElleBellsy ElleBell 🎄 (@ElleBellsy) reported

    @Telstra They refused to remove the fr**d tagging on my account. I have taken it to the minister. My account should be safe - and it's not and that is a huge issue.

  • cooooookin cookin 🐍🎨 - Full Cream (@cooooookin) reported

    @Telstra Why am I paying for your service if my internet cuts out mid-livestream on a daily basis?

  • balaram813 Balaram Dhulipala (@balaram813) reported

    @Telstra No Thanks. May be explain why I cannot port a eSim to a new phone? Technology doesn't seem to work. Customer support doesn't know technology isn't working. Had to talk to 3 people before being told that the system is having issues. Don't fix it for me. Fix it for yourself.

  • balaram813 Balaram Dhulipala (@balaram813) reported

    @Telstra Attempted multiple times. Talked to three different customer support people. Told to go to nearest store or Asked if I wanted a new eSim to be delivered.

  • fibinacci1123 F G P (@fibinacci1123) reported

    @andy_penn when will Telstra actually find a way to bill customers correctly and reduce the anxiety your team causes by incorrect bills? my elderly parents have had to communicate with Telstra since May, every month for charges without service - it’s cause stress #feenoservice

  • thebrickcleaner Brett Keleher (@thebrickcleaner) reported

    @dwilliamson931 @Telstra “Should have” Clyde North has 23 bars of 4G at best. Most times when working there you get no service at all. I’d hate to live there, completely forgotten

  • Fannylumsden ***** Lumsden (@Fannylumsden) reported

    Hey @telstra any reason the #toomansw valley phone service has been disappearing (I’m on satellite wifi) the past few weeks as we head into #fireseason?

  • thebrickcleaner Brett Keleher (@thebrickcleaner) reported

    @Telstra Send a DM for what? The no service is anywhere off Patersons Rd Clyde North!

  • gugwarren Alex Warren (@gugwarren) reported

    @Telstra What is happening with the Mobile service in Torquay. Widespread issues within the town today and yesterday. No reports of any outage yet there are techs working in multiple Telstra locations around town.

  • missfit22627816 missfit (@missfit22627816) reported

    @Giselle38004549 @abcnews April 2021 Morrison stacked abc board with former NewsCorp Qantas and Telstra execs all a 5 year term with Ita former Packer exec as Chair. Notice how many ex NewsCorp presenters on abc these day? Poor Aunty has been violated. And the Chair of largest msm Co.(2018) LP Costello.

  • bertozzi Carlo Bertozzi (@bertozzi) reported

    @Telstra travelled 2hrs to get a new data sim from a #telstrashop. Doesn’t work. Address error apparently. Now waiting on the mythical Telstra ‘backend’ team to fix which could be up to 24hrs. Seriously @Telstra 🙄. The #telstrahell continues…..

  • jxeeno ken tsang (@jxeeno) reported

    @iChecky could, yes. but hopefully not problem is phones wouldn't know to connect to alternative carrier since it advertises as a valid signal but hangs up when you call. if you were unlucky enough to be without a SIM and connected to the Telstra 3G network, you're also cooked

  • NickEvershed Nick Evershed (@NickEvershed) reported

    @Telstra 1) phone tries to use the network even when it's got no/little reception 2) phone doesn't recognise it is on wifi for wifi calling, even though it is clearly on wifi

  • DSnazz85 Damien (@DSnazz85) reported

    @Telstra Hi Tom, Have had somewhere between 40-50 calls from our TBC, complaint escalation mngr, their offsider, the installation mngr, & others. All have told me its being expediated and escalated, & to wait patiently. None have been able to deliver a solution unfortunately.

  • Nibzeee Bruce Nibbs (@Nibzeee) reported

    Funny how @Telstra didn’t want to resolve a complaint, or answer emails responding to them, but send one email to the telco ombudsman and they become receptive. Let’s see if they actually do anything or will it be the same “we’re here to help” which is in fact an oxymoron

  • spyIotty cate (@spyIotty) reported

    telstra fix your ******* **** it's been 3 days and I still can't receive texts

  • dwilliamson931 David (@dwilliamson931) reported

    @Telstra Years.....but hey I've complained before. No reply. And now you reply after I've left you because you never replied when I was with you...

  • NickEvershed Nick Evershed (@NickEvershed) reported

    it is ****** how unreliable wifi calling is, and I have no idea if it is a telstra issue, a hardware issue, or a software issue

  • balaram813 Balaram Dhulipala (@balaram813) reported

    @Telstra got to be on the top of "Worse customer service" as well as on "Technology that doesn't work" categories. #poorservice

  • Kimbo_Ramplin Kimberley Ramplin (@Kimbo_Ramplin) reported

    An outage yesterday killed my modem/router/whatever the WiFi box is called. @Telstra is sending one in 3-5 working days and boosting my data pack as I have to hotspot off my phone. Optimal outcome so long as the new one works & I don’t stuff it up (highly likely)

  • IamGreksie Greksie (@IamGreksie) reported

    Between @Aussie_BB and @Telstra surely, SURELY they could fix the stupid amount of internet disconnects I've experienced in the past 24 hours. The node is either filled of water or something else is horribly wrong. My two year old can't get his fix of @TeeandMo. Send. Help.

  • BartTho15370619 Bart Thompson (@BartTho15370619) reported

    @Filapek @JamesGreenhal20 Yes I understand. Point is, telstra looked like a reasonable buy to many of us at $5 in December 2016. Share price is $4.11 five years on. We all know when things are bad, they can get much worse.

  • TheNehad CFC - Champions of Europe (@TheNehad) reported

    @Kimbo_Ramplin @Telstra Think you'll be fine, but LMK if you need any help.

  • CMYKChuffy Chuffy | End Walked (@CMYKChuffy) reported

    Telstra bad Never, not even once, had a pleasant or even acceptable experience

  • __MicMic__ Michele ❀☆ ◕ ‿ ◕ ☆❀ (@__MicMic__) reported

    @Telstra Telstra ******* sucks. Zero technology

  • thebrickcleaner Brett Keleher (@thebrickcleaner) reported

    @Telstra There’s no outage, just no service!

  • justmaghookit Sea Horse Propaganda. (@justmaghookit) reported

    @CMYKChuffy i switched to iprimus years ago cause of just how awful it was dealing with telstra, think they use the telstra infrastructure but at worst that just means they're bothering telstra for me. Customer service is mostly good, highly recommend

  • UnkleMungrel UnkleMungrel (@UnkleMungrel) reported

    @JudyHinchcliffe Sorry to hear that. They can sound so convincing. Expensive way to learn a lesson! I'll let all my friends and family know about this Telstra scam & to never give personal details to anyone unless you're 100% certain they're 'real'. Take care & stay safe!

  • gavsmith76 Gavin Smith (@gavsmith76) reported

    @abcnews Scrambling for food. Scrambling. But Telstra says an "intermittent issue" but landlines and NBN internet had not been impacted. Further most eftpos uses fixed line, wifi and/or mobile data. Sounds if anything like local stores not prepared. Not really a Telstra or govt blame game
