    @Kate3015 It’d really not that hard to spot but to the untrained eye they always look legitimate. My husband a case in point. He doesn’t click on the link but always asks me how to deal with it. Every time I,show- block the email via,the contact card, delete, simple. Government departments never send you anything, just a notification to go to My Gov. Telstra has the email in the App. If it’s not there it’s not real. There are couple I can think of.

    Regional reality check: Telstra = service. Optus = maybe. Vodafone = forget it. If only one network works outside the cities, that’s not a market — that’s a monopoly.

    Same with Telstra. Anyone who has hearing issues finds it very frustrating when you are speaking with someone from overseas with a strong accent.

    Working in regional NSW today and only @Telstra users could make calls. Optus: no signal. Vodafone: non‑existent. 2026 and we still don’t have a shared rural network? When one telco holds all the coverage, it’s not a choice - it’s a monopoly. #WakeUpAustralia #NannyStateNSW

    🔴 PayphoneGo: 19-year-old built Pokemon Go for Australia's 14,000 payphones Kris Norris, a Brisbane student, launched PayphoneGo in April. Players call a number from payphones across Australia, enter a nine-digit ID, and accumulate points—20 for first visit, 10 for second, then 5 and 1. First visitors can leave voicemails heard by subsequent callers. Norris said the game aims to encourage exploration and revive "old internet: no ads, no tracking, so few cookies." Telstra operates the payphones under Australia's universal service guarantee. Calls have been free since mid-2021. The company reports over 100 million calls since fees were scrapped, with usage tripling.

    @karlstefanovic John Howard & Costello last budget would have been in deficit if they didn’t sell off Telstra & gold reserves.. Costello claimed gold was no longer the standard **** look at it today IMF stated that the last term of Howard was the highest spending term of any Aust government!

    @pelli_69 @Optus @Telstra Maybe try Superloop. I was with Tesltra for 20+ years, and switched to Superloop. cheaper for higher speeds and I’ve had no issues with them for a the year since I switched.

    @Teh_Jkr @Optus Look into new customer deals… If you find one that suits cancel your current plan and sign up with a new one. Loyalty gets you nowhere with them OR Telstra they’ve done the same.

    @SocialTubby @DaveTaylorNews As an aging Pro. Pretty much all of my clients in Longreach, Karratha or the Alice book me via Starlink. When I used to service the married Labor blokes in Marrickville, my Telstra mobile would be forever dropping out. Starlink is on an exponential trajectory.

    @eevblog i spent 3 months fighting their absurdity over a business account, with them "doing it wrong" and then forgetting about it. the only solution was to raise a complaint and follow that process, which so far has taken a month. telstra is criminally incompetent :(

    @joey8bitz @1WeakGuttedDog You’re so confidently wrong. No **** it’s Telstra, I’ve used both and I’m fully aware Telstra own boost. Boost is a budget provider and receives lower priority to the network, it isn’t rocket science. My second phone is on boost and performs worse than my wife’s Telstra phone.

    anyone else with @Optus ? Have spent almost 6 hours with them online today trying to arrange an NBN service for when I move, transferred to numerous different agents only to have them tell me thay cant help me as originally promised. @Telstra here I come

    🇦🇺 Australia: Telstra said over 200,000 of its mobile customers connect to @Starlink satellites each day! ...and over 2.7 million customers have connected at least once since launch A Telstra spokesperson said that customer uptake is "exciting", but the real-world impact is more important. "What stands out to us the most is not the numbers themselves, but what they represent," said the spokesperson. "A message home from a remote road, a quick check-in during a trip away, or peace of mind in places beyond the range of our mobile network."

    Telstra network in Clyde North, Berwick, Cranbourne & Dandenong is terrible. My UberX and trucking business depends on my phone, but calls and data keep dropping. Paying premium prices for poor service is unacceptable. Do better, Telstra. shame shame @Telstra @TelstraBcast

    @sydney_ev Actually it has been failing across remote Australia for decades. Telstra has unreliable network coverage as the middle of Australia can not have enough sunshine for their solar for days.

    Yo Aussies anyone else with telstra (or companies that use their network, like belong) having issues with data?? Woke up this morning and the wifi wasn't working, turned on my data and... that wasn't working either. And my roommate's data isn't working either

    @Telstra So not gonna address the claims about what techniques sales representatives and ads use to mislead customers into thinking they’re getting a premium service. When I pay $2500 a year for home internet and mobile I have a certain level of expectation and rightfully so

    Will be late to the iOS 27 beta this year because, as usual, my Telstra internet keeps crashing. 12+ times a day. Fix your **** @telstra, this is incompetent.

  • wakeuptotheleft
    Don't Listen to words. Watch their actions. (@wakeuptotheleft) reported

    @DarcyMiddleton @AmeliaBee7 It’s not trans hysteria mate, we moved my two nieces from a public school to a private one as they were allowing a boy to shower with 12 year old girls and when the parents went down to the school they teachers were attacking the girls and offering to re educate them , where I currently work ,the young kids that work there also go to a government school and a 16 year old is now allowed to shower with the girls and this **** has hit the fan at that school. It happens is workplaces too, I worked for Telstra for 12 years and then another big corporate for 10, we had a gym on site for all staff and it used to be quite busy before and after work as it was free. Then the morons announced their trans policy and allowed the males to shower and undress with the females. No one complained because they know they’d get in trouble and 95 per cent just stopped using the facility, meanwhile on teams everyone is talking about how ****** it is and how no one can say a word. This is issue plays a big part.
