    @Telstra Hence, from 4 and 5, it’s not my phone, it’s the sim. Gone through 3 chat rooms, nine bot interactions and 12 human customer service reps over 5 hours Tweeted extensively with no joy in the vain hope @elonmusk chips in

  • HelaRevenge Revenge of Hela (@HelaRevenge) reported

    @Telstra Nup. Still as slow as a wet week.

  • lilheartxo lil heart (@lilheartxo) reported

    It should be a crime for how bad the service Telstra provides

  • GeoffPAus Geoff (@GeoffPAus) reported

    @Telstra you just lost a $2000 sale because your customer service is **** - in what world is a 1.5 hr wait to buy a phone outright acceptable🤔 @Optus well done great service and it only took 5 minutes

  • Sacazm22 sacazm (@Sacazm22) reported

    @Telstra i haven’t been with Telstra for years and don’t plan on ever returning. I love how there pricing just goes up without notice or you can never get the right department while waiting for hours. No thanks, BLOCK

  • BirenTh81121326 Biren Thapa (@BirenTh81121326) reported

    @GeoffPAus @Telstra @Optus One of the worst customer service in Australia

  • Pats_LD ✳ 𝒫𝒶𝓉𝓈 𝐿𝒟 ✳ @𝕻𝕷𝕯 𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖎𝖙𝖘 (@Pats_LD) reported

    @GazmanAus @WendyNorthey @RichardEGrant My brother still lives in Canberra, he told me that it closed last year due to Covid. Apparently Telstra is looking at refurbishing it but there's no firm plans at the moment. I went to the revolving restaurant once but I understand that closed down, I think in 2012 or 2013.

  • JaseW_Waller Jason Waller (@JaseW_Waller) reported

    @Telstra The problem is calls made or received cut out with “Call failed” I have: Confirmed the cellular connection is good Confirmed I have enough bars Confirmed there is no local outage Reset my phone’s network settings Turned airplane mode on/off

  • MurraySkea Murray Skea (@MurraySkea) reported

    Hey @Telstra being told by support that there is a fault in our area #fremantle and it won’t be restored until Friday. Is this correct?!

  • frozenstarr ` GGe (@frozenstarr) reported

    Fak ya telstra. Outage during the world cup match!?

  • MurraySkea Murray Skea (@MurraySkea) reported

    @Telstra Let’s hope you can get a fix before Friday!

  • Cowcakes 🌻Ken Dally @C0wcakes@mastodon.au (@Cowcakes) reported

    @YaThinkN Friendly local Telstra tech, remember when they were actually directly employed by Telstra, told me our exchange had two multiplexers. A good one and a bad one. If connection failed or was slow hang up and immediately redial to get the good one. It worked.

  • GeoffPAus Geoff (@GeoffPAus) reported

    @Telstra Sorry Harvey that was the last straw with Telstra, your customer service has dropped significantly and there are better customer focused companies out there

  • unicorn_pinata narwhals_arent_real (@unicorn_pinata) reported

    @Telstra what’s the point in your app if it can’t locate your account once you have and the messaging system seemingly never works if wifi is down? Long wait times on phone with constant messages telling me to use an app that isn’t working!

  • OldCynicalSad ♀️ 🌸 OldCynicalSad 🌸 ♀️ (@OldCynicalSad) reported

    @ontarioisproud @AussieCH64 Thank god for shite @Telstra 4G. It's stuck buffering, and I'm saved from listening to this poor demented woman.

  • JaseW_Waller Jason Waller (@JaseW_Waller) reported

    @Telstra As I wait for the bot to connect me to the tenth person in five hours I have used my time wisely while marooned on the desolate island that is @telstra customer service. After ten CS agents I have now compiled a list of answers to their repeated questions. Wish me luck.

  • HelaRevenge Revenge of Hela (@HelaRevenge) reported

    @Telstra Webmail is still ****.

  • kmaciak1 Krzysztof Maciak (@kmaciak1) reported

    @Optus You’d like to be a competition to Telstra but that’s not going to happen when it is not possible to become your customer (even though I am foreigner it doesn’t justify those difficulties). While case is simple - e sim prepaid offer for new customer

  • rafstary Raf Stary (call me maskless Mate) (@rafstary) reported

    Got the bastard. #spam call with the usual rouse of I’m from Telstra and we want to check your internet because we are receiving many errors(Indian or like accent). I asked her employee number.Big pause then ADZ375-23A.Said this was not an employee number. Click. I feel good now

  • lilheartxo lil heart (@lilheartxo) reported

    @Telstra Yeah get the person over that was meant to come and fix some cable months ago

  • Gary_AE Gary Austin-Eames (@Gary_AE) reported

    Hey @Telstra . Why do your customer service people promise call backs by a supervisor within 15 minutes then tell you an hour later they can't call? Any why do they promise to call you in the evening then mark the complaint closed so they don't have to call back?

  • BirenTh81121326 Biren Thapa (@BirenTh81121326) reported

    @Telstra Hi. I have asked telstra to help me for the last 7 weeks , Nobody really helped me . How do I trust that you can help me ?

  • JaseW_Waller Jason Waller (@JaseW_Waller) reported

    @Telstra I’m sure that will help. The direction of Tara to DM resulted in sending me to the same chat I’m already on, then going silent. So I have full confidence regular updates will succeed.

  • JaseW_Waller Jason Waller (@JaseW_Waller) reported

    @Telstra Great idea! Why didn’t I think of that?….no, wait..I recall there was a problem with calling Boost to tell them I can’t make calls. Can’t remember what the problem was, but it will come to me.

  • anthony45052793 anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported

    @thegrumpypoof @Telstra telstra once billed me for excess data usage while i still had gigabytes of actual data on my plan. another time they insisted the landline i was calling them from did not exist and had never in fact existed and i must be mistaken about calling them from the never been a phone.

  • OldCynicalSad ♀️ 🌸 OldCynicalSad 🌸 ♀️ (@OldCynicalSad) reported

    I'm having trouble viewing images, and sending simple tweets. Is it crappy Telstra mobile or is it my dying lenovo? Might have to take a break til the net is working properly.

  • BirenTh81121326 Biren Thapa (@BirenTh81121326) reported

    @Telstra I want one of your managers to call me to solve my problem .

  • lilheartxo lil heart (@lilheartxo) reported

    Telstra’s customer service is so much worse than ******* valve and Uber combined

  • croydoncathy Croydon Cathy (@croydoncathy) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @caty_price @Channel10AU It’s devastating. Those poor families. I remember travelling to Perth for as a young woman. I was terrified catching taxis. Ironically, I worked for Telecom/Telstra…
