Telstra Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Oliver J (@oliverjanik) reported@loftwah I will never understand people who stay loyal to telstra or Optus
-
Steph McG (@oohaah_67) reported@Telstra now it’s a joke hey! Hamlyn Terrace and surrounding areas without 5G for the last couple of days. If you can’t fix or find the fault how about deploying mobile towers. Not everyone has NBN connectivity.
-
jagjetfly 🐎🐎 (@jagjetfly) reported@Mr_Fanta_Pants @Telstra Why did she switch? Aren’t Southern under Telstra, the problems would be the same. With all the issues I had with them at work and home I dumped them 34 years ago. They still think they’re a monopoly.
-
LunacySoft (@LunacySoft) reported@loftwah Belong is quite good as well and Telstra network
-
joel0437 (@Joel_0437) reported@boomerangmadi @metrotrains Cellular DAS for Telstra, Optus and Vodafone to provide cellular on all 3, it also hosts the train signalling GSM-R 1800 network too.
-
kane (@kanethesaint) reported@eevblog If you turn on Data Roaming when in Vodafone, in areas where there is poor coverage, it will connect to an Optus tower to fill the gap. This only works for Vodafone and not Optus or Telstra.
-
Tony Chatham (@tony_chatham) reported@analyticflying @Optus I switched from @optus mobile to Woolworths who use the Telstra network. Considerably cheaper but much more reliable.
-
notonlyacocky (@hasselljpb) reportedI had to help a tech at the local ph tower last night because the power tripped. (Access in the night is a bit dodgy) Electronic lock that needed guess what? Phone coverage!!! Lucky it was an @optus tower and he had @Telstra You can’t make this up!!!
-
The Lord (@lord_tizza) reportedAnd Telstra support said it was a fault, after a hour and a half of trouble shooting. I checked NBN and looks like a service outage in our area - checked a couple of addresses in our road. How long do these usually take to resolve? I was looking forward to a good long weekend :(
-
TK (@Teexmachine) reported@Telstra @bruzo2 Bruce, just get starlink mate, just as cheap and you have zero issues
-
David S Salkeld 😎 (@maranatha_71) reported@Telstra I can not sign into your app as I already have an account, but it's attached to a defunct email. Please help.
-
Jackson (@jacksondavis316) reported@talyasalem Valid haha. The Telstra whistling one when you're getting belted is the worst too
-
Matai James Turner (@62DesertEagle) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaThank you telecommunications ombudsman and Telstra for the correct information and waving fees and bills being distributed by ANZ+ digital platforms I'll be ******* you off tomorrow **** Digital Platforms and ID
-
Richard (@dickster1907) reported@AussieVal10 Because of the Howard Government we no longer receive dividends from previously owned Government entities like the Commonwealth Bank and Telstra because they sold them. Good move Johnny you ******* economic vandal. Oh and BTW they sold off our gold reserves for **** all as well.
-
Gerald Dabbles (@dabblebutz) reported@Telstra @Optus @optus_help can we please get support for RCS messaging on iPhones?!?!? The rest of the world supports it and Australians are missing out! 😭
-
miss_84 (@Miss__84) reportedAgaiinnnnnnn @Telstra again. A war widow with a serious heart condition without the use of her phone because of an nbn outage. But how does that affect the mobile phone useage Youre the absolute worst company. She feels cut off from the world. But hey she has the internet
-
Ron Henry (@RonHenryCC) reportedIt is OK @kayo It casts well from the phone. I suspect using 5G. So it is possibly a @Telstra server problem.
-
Marxism-Leninism-Whitlamism 🇦🇺 🏳️⚧️ 🇵🇸 (@LaylaSaturn) reported@IceStationSpmda ******* thats before telstra
-
Lilen (@Lilens) reported@chopwisegamji @BobBurn97207272 No infrastructure build is complete lie though, what about West Connex and Bruce highway. Upgrade on Adelaide Hospital, Footscray hospitals and NBN ( never liked it) all done during last 29 years. And don’t forget labour sold of remaining Telstra ownership on 2011!! Come at me
-
Craig Gardiner (@cwgardiner) reported@telstra reception in Vermont South (near Sewart close) is crap. I logged a call (INC 40508228) as a @Telstra Gold member 6 months ago, today they told me it was fixed. It ain’t fixed. Still no 4G/5G and I’m paying for 4G backup on my NBN modem. This is beyond a joke.
-
mary blackman (@39loulou) reported@blowingtom2 @JohnAndersonAC Name calling, so early in the discussion. Do you remember how Howard sold off our Gold in the dip? D’ya know how much that would be worth in today’s $$. Did you know they also sold off Comm Bank & Telstra to cover baby bonus cheques and utes? Research Howard worst PM ever#auspol

George 🦊 (@PossiblyGeorge) reported@FOXFOOTY The Jim's Mowing Wildcard Round The Bunnings Wildcard Round The McDonalds Wildcard Round The AAMI Wildcard Round The Telstra Wildcard Round The Coles Wildcard Round The Chemist Warehouse Wildcard Round And it all still sucks. Bin it
-
Marg N - AU (@Daisy1158) reported.@Telstra You know, it would be great if people would be notified of NBN work and interruptions at least BEFORE the internet is no longer working! I got a notification AFTER the service was restored!
-

-
POMinOZ 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 (@POMinOZ2024) reportedHey @Telstra when are we releasing #rcs support for #android and @Apple phones? Why is Australia missing out on this feature?
-
melon_rind (@melone_rind) reportedI just wanna put it out there, @eBay has quite possibly the worst customer "support" I have ever experienced from a company. I will never deal with them after this. Ever. Quite possibly worse than @Telstra which is a new low.
-
Loftwah (@loftwah) reportedWe pay like a $150 a month for the premium of Telstra mobile and it doesn’t even work immediately when out NBN drops. What are we even paying extra for? Fix your trash Telstra 😡😡 @Telstra
-
Max (@Max51973563529) reported@AFL @Telstra How ******** did Lindsay not get it?

TurboChook (@TasTurboChook) reported@telstra why is your mobile phone coverage in Hervey Bay QLD so poor?
