  • LuReddecliffe Lu (@LuReddecliffe) reported

    @Telstra mobile network outage in Mentone, 3194 for at least 2hrs. Despite the fact your website claims no outage.Our an hour wait for customer service messages reply. You know you have a outage issue. Why can’t your website reflect correct info and updates?

  • PunarjitS Punarjit Singh (@PunarjitS) reported

    @Telstra you’ve a terrible new customer experience. I ordered NBN 2 weeks ago after much hassle it’s still not active. Now I’m trying to order iPhone 14 and I cannot verify my international passport ID. Just horrible CX.

  • RainMorgan33 ❤️ Rain Morgan. ❤️ Geelong Sept 28-30! (@RainMorgan33) reported

    @BettsyBoop3 @Telstra Its been fixed! Also resetting network settings helped

  • guruschmoo Guru Schmoo (@guruschmoo) reported

    @Telstra your system is down. Why are there no updates online? Even went into a Telstra shop and they can’t find any detail. Please make updates online quicker thank you

  • guruschmoo Guru Schmoo (@guruschmoo) reported

    @Telstra Staff member at Telstra store in Brunswick had same issue with personal phone but not business phone!

  • Tommyboytown Tommyboy (@Tommyboytown) reported

    @drcarrot98 @Optus @Telstra Telstra is really bad for customer service, the worst, Its a pity cos Optus has good customer service. Reputational damage big time

  • mattgillard Matt Gillard (@mattgillard) reported

    I went with voda as I have an Apple Watch to feed. But I will get a 12 month Aldimobile sim for my iPad mainly to have redundant network data coverage. I will still be paying much less than the Telstra price hikes over the past year.

  • GethinDavies74 Gethin Davies (@GethinDavies74) reported

    @Telstra I just bought 2 yagi antennas waiting for them to get here. I live 3 kms west of Kulin where tower is , my phone signal goes from 1 bar to 3 my WiFi 2 WiFi routers keep kicking of line. I msgd Telstra last week and got told to check my black spot on your map got 2 black spots

  • Ipassedduhwindy Ipassedduhwindy (@Ipassedduhwindy) reported

    @Telstra I've been told a case manager SHOULD call me back today but after being told I should recieve a callback a couple days ago and never getting it I don't have much faith in that.

  • drcarrot98 Rose Roberts (@drcarrot98) reported

    So who is everyone switching to now that @optus has exposed its customers to identity theft. Have been a both a private and business customer for years but not anymore. I won’t use @Telstra either due to their poor customer service so what are the other options. #OptusHack

  • GavinWakeupint1 Gavilarr 🍸☮️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🖤💛❤️ (@GavinWakeupint1) reported

    @drcarrot98 @Optus @Telstra I'm in the same boat. They all stink. I took Vodafone to the ombudsman a decade ago and I also left Telstra nearly 20 years ago for their appalling customer service. And the way that Optus has behaved after the fact is utterly disgraceful & unforgivable.

  • guruschmoo Guru Schmoo (@guruschmoo) reported

    @Telstra I hope you will be offering compensation? This outage is costing people lost earnings

  • GordyPls Ashwagandha Forever (@GordyPls) reported

    @kcarruthers @RachaelHasIdeas Telstra were playing with the idea that because most everyone has given them 100 points of ID, they could set up a verification service for other businesses to identify mutual customers. Dunno if it went anywhere.

  • EdHore Ed **** (@EdHore) reported

    You can't make this **** up... @Telstra is incompetent

  • GethinDavies74 Gethin Davies (@GethinDavies74) reported

    @Telstra My brother who is a few kms further had same issue but he left because it too unreliable. He went with Musk's mob. I went through my whole system last night just to get it to work finished at 3am it was off again this morning when I got up

  • RichHaby Rich Haby (@RichHaby) reported

    @Telstra @brentcostelloe Just went into my telstra business store. They said it's an outage but not effecting all people....

  • EdHore Ed **** (@EdHore) reported

    To all those that DMd me on the weekend about their issues with @Telstra - I have lodged 4 complaints to this time on the items discussed. Let's see how they go before I approach @Channel9

  • themiasandrist Mia “Jordan Clarkson fan” Lastname (@themiasandrist) reported

    I think the worst thing about this whole Optus **** is that Telstra are doing a full Bradbury

  • JonDeeOz JON DEE (JonDee.com) (@JonDeeOz) reported

    @Telstra you have cut off my mobile phone as I cannot access my account to pay my bill online. Why will you not let me pay the bill so I can get my mobile connected again? Your suggestion of me doing a two hour round trip to a Telstra store to fix this is not an option today.

  • EdHore Ed **** (@EdHore) reported

    @Telstra = Total Incompetence Finally got someone on the phone, he goes to get an answer - call drops out. 84% on battery - 5G connection. Come on Telstra - get your **** together.

  • traynor_zac Zach Traynor (@traynor_zac) reported

    @7NewsMelbourne There's a strong clause for service cancellation arguing gross incompetence and bringing the service agreement into disrepute so ALL customers of Optus should do this. Won't save our data unfort. I sub managed to cancel this morning and move (back) to Telstra...

  • boggeley potato man (@boggeley) reported

    telstra make it very hard to order a thing that you want on their website. seems like the worst time for this to happen with millions of prospective new clients jumping ship from optus

  • decryption decryption (@decryption) reported

    @mattgillard TPG (Vodafone) and Telstra are working on a roaming setup, so they’ll share huge chunks of their network. Waiting on ACCC approval. It’s good as Voda suck outside metro areas.

  • GavinWakeupint1 Gavilarr 🍸☮️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🖤💛❤️ (@GavinWakeupint1) reported

    This #Optus fail really does highlight the shocking standards of customer service in the Telco industry as a whole. It's difficult to imagine Vodafone & Telstra handling the same situation any better. The big 3 are all prolific in treating their customers like ****.

  • LuReddecliffe Lu (@LuReddecliffe) reported

    @Telstra I’ve received a text after contacting Smart Troubleshooting which says I don’t have an initial fault. Yet I’m still unable to make or receive calls. Your outage website still isn’t up to date either. Is there any ETA for this?

  • jeff_laycock Jeff Laycock (@jeff_laycock) reported

    @6PR @6PRbreakfast But so what. What's the worst that can happen? No one going to die. I get around 5 spam phone calls everyday and Telstra haven't (think) had their data stolen

  • JustinNation6 Justin Nation (@JustinNation6) reported

    @Telstra pay $150 a month for a plan that 4 g and 5 g won't even let me make calls on. Have to do it in 3 g and you think you wanna shut it down when most places I go to its the only one that always works. Joke

  • GethinDavies74 Gethin Davies (@GethinDavies74) reported

    @Telstra Yep Kulin WA it's about 3 hrs east of Perth I have a MR2100 & the earlier one in 2 separate rooms both cut out. I also spoke to someone and Newdigate fieldday about it. The black spot is about 20m from my house north side and other is about 2 kms further towards Brothers Kulin W

  • Connsole connor (@Connsole) reported

    Yeah sick, @Telstra do you guys have any good offers at the moment? This @Optus breach is a bit poor form
