  • Glenina57 💧Ray™ (@Glenina57) reported

    @LIVEINMOUNTAIN I thought the problem was the phone because the other phones worked ok. Tried everything: static IP addresses etc....next day an iPhone played up. Did a factory reset on the router and bingo. I know very very little about this stuff. Telstra & Optus could have helped.

  • jaysimmo3 @jaysimmo (@jaysimmo3) reported

    @GrogsGamut @Telstra Spent last year dealing w/ NBN & Telstra 4 office. Finally emailed my local Lib MP, suddenly gold service. But straight back to pumpkin after. There's an internal Telstra plan to end all "talk" comms by 2022. One told me the name of the plan, have it in some chat log I saved.

  • michael48439600 michael hitchcock (@michael48439600) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    My phone still getting hot because of Telstra virus attack. Maybe in the next life they will be garbage collectors

  • pineapplezsez China Sommerset (@pineapplezsez) reported

    @GrogsGamut @Telstra Call their international help number for help; overseas. @Telstra don't answer, just a message option that loops & forces you to install their app on phone to get help cos they refuse to answer their listed OS number/or their webportal chat. 3days endless app chats with idiots.

  • NikkiTeeuw Nikki Teeuw /N.E. Teeuw (@NikkiTeeuw) reported

    @Monocotyledon @Telstra @Optus There has to be a company that is better than these two. I cannot believe the amount of times I've had to call Telstra about both internet and mobile issues. Either with dropouts or mobile over-billing. Customer care definitely isn't their priority.

  • GlennColgan Glenn Colgan (@GlennColgan) reported

    @GrogsGamut @Telstra My experience ask a question on MyTelstra Chat and receive a response after 30 mins which is often a copy paste from the Telstra website - this is not customer service.

  • NikkiTeeuw Nikki Teeuw /N.E. Teeuw (@NikkiTeeuw) reported

    Best mobile phone plans in Australia with good coverage that are not @telstra ? Sick of being repeatedly overcharged followed by complete inability to get through to customer service. #telstracorruption

  • MorkaiAU Man-sized beardface. (@MorkaiAU) reported

    @GrogsGamut @Telstra I've discovered recently that the main means to contact HP Support in Australia is via Whatsapp which is about a horrendous as you'd expect.

  • GranAlso AlsoRanGran (@GranAlso) reported

    ..that doesn’t work! Both times the call was disconnected after a robot said thanks for your call. @Telstra please do something about this shocking service. 😡

  • _kieranoconnor Kieran O'Connor (@_kieranoconnor) reported

    Everyone I work with on @Telstra mobile is having issues in Canberra City (2601) - can't access data (and not much 4G reception either). Just for your awareness...

  • HaroldN62320125 Harold Quinn (@HaroldN62320125) reported

    @GrogsGamut @Telstra Exactly. That app is as terrible as their call center in the Philippines. Beware, don’t tell them you’re upset with their service, otherwise, they will accuse you of being rude and abusive and hanging up on you. That’s Telstra’s culture.

  • MotherChikin MotherChikinSiamese (@MotherChikin) reported

    @Telstra Most affordable is never sign with Telstra

  • EbooksTim TimLChan Ebooks - EbooksTim (@EbooksTim) reported

    Its overtime 12am. I have adsl2 or some slow crap from telstra.

  • NikkiTeeuw Nikki Teeuw /N.E. Teeuw (@NikkiTeeuw) reported

    I am now utterly convinced that @Telstra is the worst run company in the country.

  • heychessikuh JV 👁👄👁 (@heychessikuh) reported

    @malcook27 I had a monthly Optus plan using my dads old BlackBerry Pearl but I still have a $52 credit on my Telstra account for the internet I had at my apartment and I haven’t done anything about it bc I still like getting the monthly email 6 years down the road

  • lowflyingemu Sam Matthews (@lowflyingemu) reported

    @zanrowe My mum agreed to sign up for an internet plan from Telstra (over the phone) but after consulting her family that evening, she couldn’t cancel the plan without Dad.

  • MorkaiAU Man-sized beardface. (@MorkaiAU) reported

    @galumay @GrogsGamut @Telstra HP now uses Whatsapp as their main means of customer interaction, which as much as I loathed contacting their support previously, somehow this has made it worse.

  • d3n0tz d3n0tz (@d3n0tz) reported

    1 week after @Telstra technician install velocity NTD box and proving that telstra has been wrong since Dec telling me I cant get them, I'm still waiting for them to create an order because "there's some errors" 🤦🤦🤦 #telstraFAIL

  • Monocotyledon Margaret Morgan ✒📚🌈 (@Monocotyledon) reported

    @NikkiTeeuw @Telstra Frankly, I think @Optus could give it a run for its money. Two of us working from home, needing to attend video meetings, the NBN off more than its on, and a pathetic level of communication and support. Argh!

  • WitchMeth LA_Meth_Witch💕💕🌷🌷🐛 (@WitchMeth) reported

    @mantueffel @Telstra oh ok.. The iphone has even WORSE signal!

  • Monocotyledon Margaret Morgan ✒📚🌈 (@Monocotyledon) reported

    @NikkiTeeuw @Telstra @Optus We are thinking of switching NBN providers after this week. If anyone has any suggestions, all we ask for is a reliable service and responsive customer care!

  • Fishman_Dan Daniel Cohen (@Fishman_Dan) reported

    I am fed up with Telstra. Service non-existent, plans outdated. Went to my Telstra portal in my browser and opened a Live Chat to query disconnecting. The response? Download our app. This is the exact reason I'm ditching them. Jump through hoops for simple service. @Telstra

  • GranAlso AlsoRanGran (@GranAlso) reported

    @Telstra I spent most of the day yesterday trying to get my prepaid service fixed without success, twice I had to ask the call centre person to explain a sentence they wrote that made not sense. Today I rang the only number I could find to be told to use the online help..1

  • 06eleven 06ELEVEN (@06eleven) reported

    So, I've had my current mobile service with @Telstra since '99. I think that their compulsory move to "upfront" mobile plans will be the thing that pushes me to leave. Splitting my services and making one a prepaid that must be direct debited on a day set by Telstra and leaving..

  • alftracey Alan Tracey (@alftracey) reported

    @Telstra @GrogsGamut What do I have to do to get any assistance? I been on the message thing for 73 hrs and still no help with a simple problem.

  • bluesneverlose dean (@bluesneverlose) reported

    @GrogsGamut @Telstra This needs to gather momentum. The experience with Telstra is appallling ... I’m going to switch and sell shares ...screenshot it all and email to Andy penn ...the death of customer service

  • scammer68 𝚂𝚊𝚖 𝙸𝚗 𝙾𝚣 🇬🇧🇦🇺 🌈 🎾 (@scammer68) reported

    @Telstra Shame, especially for these very expensive handsets. But I have found Samsung offer a 3 year handset repayment option, so problem solved.

  • mantueffel Erich (@mantueffel) reported

    @WitchMeth @Telstra @Telstra has definitely got to fix their coverage in rural NSW.

  • pingerino Anna Lyons (@pingerino) reported

    @Telstra my 4G has been rate limited since yesterday but I'm waiting for a technician to fix the NBN. I've got 3 people who can't work from home now and I can't get a response online. Can you please get back to me?

  • Stephen78250313 668 the neighbour of the beast; stephen mcgrath (@Stephen78250313) reported

    @GrogsGamut @Telstra I feel your pain 4 weeks trying to get nbn on then another 4 not paying for services I didn’t use... I am a mild mannered person but found myself texting messages such as .. why do you even have a customer service section.. are you actively trying to wreck this and I hate you..
