    @Doctorofspin ... or my Telstra mail server was letting them through - close to 200 - fair dinkum a 5 year old would have picked up all that pathetic **** spam - written in pigeon English in crayon font - must want to migrate people off servers so they can dump them - no money in it 🤔

  • dannih131 dannih13 (@dannih131) reported

    Seriously @Telstra your customer service would be laughable if I wasn’t so angry and frustrated with actually speaking to you. I just want a working phone which I pay you for 😡🤬

  • evanleeshades Evan Lee (@evanleeshades) reported

    @johnsy123aus Telstra shops are beyond hopeless! Having been a lifelong customer of Telstra, I now deal with JB Hi Fi, a Telstra reseller who are very helpful.

  • stagg_87 Shaun (@stagg_87) reported

    @Higgo74 @Telstra You are a funny man, Hig! Only reason I'm with them is for the phone service they provide for the job I do. Their in-person service is quite poor. Have had some better luck with a live chat, but only marginally.... good luck!

  • JediJT74 Inebriated Superman (@JediJT74) reported

    Hi @Telstra my bigpond email is getting utterly smashed with spam. Normally this rubbish would go to the junk folder but they going straight to my inbox. Is there an issue with the spam filters?

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @sfw1956 @MrKRudd @10NewsFirst How do you suppose private business would be able to roll out a fibre network when the incumbent telco owns all the pits and pipes across the country and does everything to stiffle competition. Remember optus HFC and how telstra steamrolled them with their HFC.

  • philmccrea Philip McCrea (@philmccrea) reported

    Hey @Telstra fix your spam filter please!!!!

  • nawagadj MichaelH (@nawagadj) reported

    @Telstra here in Maningrida NT, mobile data download rates of 1.3 Mbps…at best. Often down to 0.3 Mbps. Makes mobile work a bit difficult. And mHealth options?

  • Experiment282 Experiment 282 (@Experiment282) reported

    Supposed to go into the office today, slept in but I've still got this cough kinda,so I'm like okay I might go in another day then boom, Telstra outage. Going to the office anyway but my anxiety levels are through the roof.

  • PRIVATEVIDEOS5 No real name (@PRIVATEVIDEOS5) reported

    I never call Telstra and it's not telstra - it's not them ! Who the hell is that ?

  • nikopip Niko (@nikopip) reported

    @Telstra Great customer service. I’ve lodged a complaint and if nothing gets down within 72 hours I will be lodging a TIO complaint

  • nikopip Niko (@nikopip) reported

    @Telstra Good luck reaching out to the store. No one answers the phone. Your support people won’t ring them. They expect me to go chase it.

  • ZZPease ZZ 🇦🇺 (@ZZPease) reported

    @Telstra could you fix your filters for your email server. I’m getting a tone of spam which I never get. Everything from bit coin, fed ex deliveries, Anti virus expiry to porn. Never had an issue but my inbox has been flooded since 11pm last night. It’s beyond frustrating.

  • pasavito Tony West (@pasavito) reported

    @Telstra Thanks Febey. It was odd; really blatantly obvious stuff. Including Telstra Support telling me my MacAffee license had expired. Liked how they spelled McAfee 3 different ways.

  • CannieW54 Carolyn Wood (@CannieW54) reported

    Are there fads with scam calls? Last 3 weeks have been Chinese speaking stuff and/or Amazon. Texting **** as well. We're now into Telstra internet - don't have Telstra. Seriously have had enough. Somebody fix it 😡 #auspol @AlboMP

  • nikopip Niko (@nikopip) reported

    @Telstra. All care no responsibility. I hand on my trade in at your chadstone store and it never gets recorded. Now I have no phone and no one cares. Great work telstra

  • DeadSexyWill Will Olson (@DeadSexyWill) reported

    @Higgo74 @Telstra It's a customer service approach that hasn't changed or improved since 2008, when I ditched Telstra.

  • 666shaun666 shaun (@666shaun666) reported

    @Higgo74 @Telstra I went in their store for help only to be told we can’t help you unless you have an appointment and I needed to go online or into the app and make a booking

  • tjstebbing Timothy Stebbing (@tjstebbing) reported

    @WatcherGuru This will age about as well as that time the CEO of Australian telecommunications company Telstra said Apple should stick to making computers and that their 'smartphone' would never take off.

  • illiards illiards (@illiards) reported

    I cannot believe how broken the process of getting connected to the nbn is. Or maybe I shouldn't be surprised. It's like @Telstra and @NBN_Australia don't need customers. Really.

  • mrshubbo23 Peta Hubbard (@mrshubbo23) reported

    Anyone else having problems with their bigpond email & outlook app? @Telstra

  • HawksGirl67 🏏💚💛I-tram🚋 💛🤎🏈 (@HawksGirl67) reported

    @Higgo74 @Telstra Customer service, even at a basic decency level, doesn't appear to be 'taught' to new or existing staff any more in stores Higgo 😩

  • mchlcpr Michael Cooper (@mchlcpr) reported

    @Telstra This morning, my Bigpond email address is being bombarded by a succession of scam emails. Please help! (Don not ask me to DM you; I have already done that without any response).

  • lewisgracie88 Lewis Gracie (@lewisgracie88) reported

    Disappointed with @Telstra customer service. Told to make an appointment to buy a phone despite it being in stock. Another store couldn't serve me until the next day. Went to @Optus and though they didn't have stock, they were more than willing to help. Ended up buying on @Amazon

  • nikopip Niko (@nikopip) reported

    @Telstra I handed in my trade in and they have recorded it on kingfisher your app. Now I have no phone no credit and your support people can’t help. No one cares. I ring Chadstone no one answers. Your own stores can’t process a trade in

  • AKtech2021 AK (@AKtech2021) reported

    The way @VodafoneAU rolling out the 5G , its a ******* disaster , @VodafoneAU 5G should be called 4Gx , its slow , bad coverage and you cant compare it to the superior @telstra 5G

  • Claire_Juranic Cez (@Claire_Juranic) reported

    So I once again have no internet. @Telstra tell me to give them the billing account before they can help. How do I do that if I have no internet and the is not connect to my phone Some excellent logic here Telstra

  • RomanEagles Roman Eagles ⚛️ (@RomanEagles) reported

    Car crash just down the street last week. Called 000, it rang about 20 times before a Telstra operator asked me if it was ambo/fire/police. Said "fire" and was put through to a depot in Ballarat. He had no idea of the area I was in, exasperated, he transferred me again. 000?

  • Anna11608752 Anna🌸🇭🇲🐶🌊⛱️ (@Anna11608752) reported

    @Higgo74 @Telstra One of the reasons I ditched Telstra yrs ago. Service is appalling

  • sbthatsme123 Stephen J (@sbthatsme123) reported

    @johnsy123aus After decades of being with telstra had similar experience while back. Walked straight into Optus got brilliant service, they even suggested I could by the same phone outright/ cheaper at Big W. Outcome I paying 36mth, unlimited phone, 3times more internet instead of 70 a month.
