Telstra Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TGIFriday33 TGIF (@TGIFriday33) reported

    @turquoisebbear Not a lot of choice. We left Telstra because of their business practices and crap overseas call centres. Would not touch Vodaphone after what they got up to a few years ago with their deceptive conduct.

  • queglay Andrew Graham (@queglay) reported

    @Telstra You can read the notes on complaint case number 44578854. Multiple phone calls and no resolution.

  • GalaxyeLore Cave prole 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🖤💛❤️🌏🦘🇮🇹🇦🇺 (@GalaxyeLore) reported

    @TGIFriday33 @turquoisebbear i would never go back to telstra. almost killed me from stress trying to work with them years ago

  • aussi3gam3rgirl Aussi3gam3rgirl (@aussi3gam3rgirl) reported

    @MitchGames247 @Telstra Damn sorry to hear that Mitcho... hope they resolve it soon!

  • VacuousNess 💧 Vacuous the vaccinated. (@VacuousNess) reported

    @Coffeedaveoz @MorpheusBeing @strangerous10 Because we can’t get Telstra coverage on farm. Even Optus is patchy. Telstra billing is also useless and they treat customers including businesses like 💩

  • Jonsey_Thfc Dean Jones (@Jonsey_Thfc) reported

    @wilson_smith93 Yeah well I’m with Telstra and have just received a text saying my passport is about to expire! It has another year to go. I used to be an Optus customer though!

  • jeunj Victor Rodrigues (@jeunj) reported

    Walk into a @Telstra store (Chatswood) and ask if I need to make an appointment to get a new phone and upgrade my plan. Answer: “we’re closing in 1h30m please come back another day”. That’s service from our premium brand.

  • AussieWithLove 💜 AussieWithLove 🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺 #strayamate (@AussieWithLove) reported

    @SaysDolly Oh crap. For once, I'm glad I'm with Telstra.

  • FlintCrispAgain 🇦🇺 ɐsnz∀ (@FlintCrispAgain) reported

    damn you coulda just said you cant find a call linked to a direct employee complaint yesterday LIKE I ASKED instead of trying to drag me into dms so you could protect your brand name dumbfucks. im going back to @Telstra **** #Internode

  • anuddafatguy anuddafatguy - will dm dad jokes on request (@anuddafatguy) reported

    @Telstra So by "protecting" me you provide me with an app where I have to give you my personal details (which I previously did not). Stupid stupid stupid.

  • bornapie76 Sharon (@bornapie76) reported

    @Telstra so why is a downgrade of services considered a new service request when its a downgrade

  • anuddafatguy anuddafatguy - will dm dad jokes on request (@anuddafatguy) reported

    @Telstra I do not care about multiple ways to pay, why did you take away the one way I used and found easy? <challenge> Are you going to spend more than 10 seconds on this issue?

  • Trevor_Ashley Trevor Ashley (@Trevor_Ashley) reported

    Hey @Telstra I’m overseas and since the iPhone update my phone won’t call out with a message from you saying “the number you are calling is not available from this service”. Obviously I can’t call you to sort this out. Help!!!

  • MitchGames247 Mitcho 🎬 (@MitchGames247) reported

    @Telstra I was given a Telstra Case Number and Incident Number. Will those suffice?

  • Cloudscore2 Cloudscore (@Cloudscore2) reported

    @funxpy @railworks2rblx it's your internet providers problem (telstra) optus seems to be working just fine on 30-50 ping.

  • bornapie76 Sharon (@bornapie76) reported

    @Telstra hi telstra, firstly evie needs to be commended on her outstanding customer service and fast resolution of my issue. She is a credit to telstra and her managers and higher need to be told this. She helped fix my issue when other teams could not. Thank you Evie.

  • sjb_one Steve Brennan 🐘🐳 (@sjb_one) reported

    @Qldaah @MsRonnyB I’m over these telcos. Optus has my business but the service us crap. Telstra has a better network but charge like wounded bulls. Have decided to pre-paid..

  • RheinbergerJohn John Rheinberger 🇺🇦 (@RheinbergerJohn) reported

    @strangerous10 About 30% of the adult population have their mobiles with them, including resellers such as Aldi. 45% with Telstra and resellers and 25% on the Voda network

  • Nabeela_Surgeon Facial_Surgeon (@Nabeela_Surgeon) reported

    @Jen7ify @GWRHelp Yup. I hear you. Phone no better. Honestly had better signal in outback Australia. Can’t believe I am remembering Telstra with fondness…. #wifiwoes

  • turquoisebbear Turquoise Bear (@turquoisebbear) reported

    @TGIFriday33 Yeah it’s bad. Telstra and Vodafone also suck.

  • anuddafatguy anuddafatguy - will dm dad jokes on request (@anuddafatguy) reported

    @Telstra Typical ... avoid me and say the solution has been provided They way I paid last month is no longer available / working. THAT is the way I want. I clicked on a hot link and could go directly to pay my bill. No app, just give you money Now I cannot do that. 1/

  • aussiemusicfan Not The Bowie 🎶 (@aussiemusicfan) reported

    Wonder how the Telstra network will handle getting 9m new customers tomorrow?

  • DianePLawson Diane Lawson (@DianePLawson) reported

    @JulieWilliams81 @slsandpet @TraceyLeeHolmes Oz has a race problem & we get outraged when yet another org. proves it. AFL, Police, Telstra, Prisons.. list is long. Every organisation in Australia is only ever a day away from its CEO having to say sorry & only exhaustion of ATSI people to make complaints keeps numbers low.

  • crouchingkitten Pieter Booysen (@crouchingkitten) reported

    @joshgnosis @z3ndrag0n When this happened a while ago with me @optus leaked my data through a misconfigured database. Sounds like the same thing happened here (possibly). Anyone who trusts Optus' Cyber Security is braver than me... I willingly suffer through Telstra customer service woes...

  • Mjheff27 Matt Heffernan (@Mjheff27) reported

    @Bombers_Boss Very quiet. Must be a Telstra issue out the front of Clarkson’s house because surely that’s where they would be wouldn’t they?

  • Paddleboat69 💧Jason Bradley (@Paddleboat69) reported

    @Telstra Not sure you can help..... Spent an hour on the phone this morning for nothing

  • docbaty Steve Baty (@docbaty) reported

    @Telstra I appreciate that but the issues I’m having today have their genesis in August 2021. A DM isn’t going to cut it and I don’t feel like repeating myself, again. You may imagine today is not the first time I’ve explained myself.

  • Zhukov82176036 Zhukov (@Zhukov82176036) reported

    Last week I was going to switch from Optus as my mobile phone provider because of their horrible services, but then I realised that I switched from Vodafone to Optus for the same reason, and from Telstra to Vodafone before that. I love it when I have so many options for garbage

  • mfd253 Mark Douglas (@mfd253) reported from Lennox Head, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra 5G internet has been down most of the day in Lennox Head (2478) - when will it be back up and why does it always go down when we get heavy rain!!???

  • atmrtwbike Stephen Jones - A Thousand Miles 🇦🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@atmrtwbike) reported

    @spannaforce Optus equipment has never been as good as Telstra's. And they only got to where they are because they're a competitor to Telstra. I worked for them between 1998 and 2000. They were quite arrogant about it.
