  • manaz_d Robert Hudson (@manaz_d) reported

    @Matt_Tulk @Telstra I've been on post-paid for years. I've generally been willing to pay a premium for their network coverage, which has been a boon for my work. Lately though, coverage is patchy at home (we moved ~15 months ago), and I was forced onto this AutoPay garbage...

  • SnowyRains28 Snowy Rains (@SnowyRains28) reported

    @GameGeniPrime @Telstra There’s not 1 store selling it haven’t had any supplies since launch of both except Xbox series X now there’s never been a shortage of S though. I also don’t count scammers and a place to buy them

  • ozozwatch Devin Nunes' Calf's sister (@ozozwatch) reported

    @MadamEarth I heard Telstra in trouble as Oz text message volume now negligible.

  • danielbowen Daniel Bowen (@danielbowen) reported

    @tobyallen I've got a number on a prefix which is traditionally Telstra, but of course numbers can now change to any network. All the spam callers are coming from the same. I wonder how closely they're checking.

  • cashy_93 Hayden (@cashy_93) reported

    Anyone else having issues with @Telstra calls going to “call failed” every 5 seconds? #frustrating

  • SaraAll2028 🇵🇭❤️💚✌🏼👊🏼 (@SaraAll2028) reported

    @MinguitaPadilla that's about to be seen if he can tell directly to the 2 giant telcos to improve their internet service ang lower their rates... and stop lobbying to the Congress to prevent other telcos that wants to enter business in the Ph just like what they did to Telstra

  • Von_Marlon_ Baron Von Marlon (@Von_Marlon_) reported

    @LanaMurphy @Telstra Yes!! Phone calls cut out after 5 seconds. Happened two seperate occasions and after 5 calls each time we gave up and emailed each other.

  • GLComputing Mike Lazarus 👹 (@GLComputing) reported

    Another damn HFC cable outage brought to you by @Telstra and @NBN_Australia

  • tarkasteve Steve Smith (@tarkasteve) reported

    So, @Telstra have broken roaming for prepaid customers. Completely; not even receiving texts. This breaks access to online systems like banks when overseas. Replacement to come "Late 2022/early 2023". This is a breach of trust IMO; first job when I get back is to ditch Telstra.

  • alexanderswift Alexander Swift (@alexanderswift) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra I’m confused but sure if you give me your login deets and some numbers to call I’ll get right on that.

  • GLComputing Mike Lazarus 👹 (@GLComputing) reported

    @Telstra @NBN_Australia @Foxtel It's most annoying that Foxtel always seems to know, hours before Telstra support

  • zozshe Zooz (@zozshe) reported

    @Telstra Hi, I am overseas now. My sim card doesn’t work here it shows “No service” how to fix it? I’m not able to receive any call or messages.

  • Rock_exile DarkMatter (@Rock_exile) reported

    @Telstra Well on contract also,the issue with international calling packs

  • d2kagw Aaron Wallis (@d2kagw) reported

    @everydayastory @Telstra Glad I wasn’t the only one with the issue. (I had dropped my phone minutes before the issue started so though it was hardware 😬)

  • DanielSouthey1 Dan southey (@DanielSouthey1) reported

    @Telstra my Service keeps dropping out, calls remain working for 3-6 seconds before “call failed”

  • everydayastory Every Day A Story (@everydayastory) reported

    Massive issues with @Telstra mobile today. Not able to make or receive calls without them dropping. Mobile data all over the place. Any update on issues? Have plenty of other friends having similar problems today

  • djaspen94 Aspen (@djaspen94) reported

    @RoadknightThe Dealing with Qantas and Telstra is like a war of attrition, they rely on us giving up. Unfortunately for them you and I remember when companies survived on good service. If you had a problem you were put through to the manager, now they hide from their customers. Go get 'em RK!

  • cellblock3138 Jailbird (@cellblock3138) reported

    So seroius question. Long term Telstra customer 20 plus years. Recently somehow our NBN was cancelled with no request from either authorised staff! The cancellation has disrupted approx 300 clients! Telstra keep shifting me from department to department 1/2

  • grassbyside Grassbyside (@grassbyside) reported

    @cellblock3138 Telstra has been sacking staff left and right for stab mandates. They have a woke culture while hiding their boys clubs BS. They're blackrock/Vanguard, they treat their customers like **** and ATMs. Plus they are the most expensive in the market. Why are you with them?

  • tigerwilli85 Lee Williamson 🌸🇦🇺🌸 B.Soc.Sc (@tigerwilli85) reported

    @cellblock3138 Call the Ombudsman now. Lodge a complaint. Also ask Telstra on Twitter for help. The service you have received sux.

  • autothrottle autothrottle ✈️ 🇦🇺 (@autothrottle) reported

    @LanaMurphy @Telstra That’ll be minor compared to the issues you’ll no doubt face in the future when the battery gives up…..now that’s expensive on your wallet and the environment to fix…..also prey it doesn’t catch on fire in your garage….they couldn’t put it out if they wanted to…😳

  • _salter70 Salty (@_salter70) reported

    @Telstra just spent half a day with no resolution trying to get my points from my mobile account transferred to home account,normally this has been a quick easy”instant transaction with 24/7 chat.But today now they say it’s done but will take 5 to 7 business day to go though WHY

  • GLComputing Mike Lazarus 👹 (@GLComputing) reported

    @Telstra @NBN_Australia @Foxtel They finally got it fixed a bit before 6 am... That's six hours down and it never hit the outage page. Not sure why you even have that page on the site. I've never seen a non-planned outage get reported on it. At least, not since cable was a Telstra beta product...

  • BarbaraJents Barbara Jents (@BarbaraJents) reported

    @cellblock3138 @Telstra Gees so sorry to read - the key word is Telstra - why are they always problematic? So many people have had problems with them -

  • Rock_exile DarkMatter (@Rock_exile) reported

    @Telstra I never call zone 1 because I know no one from those countries ,am from a zone 2 country but I have to buy 300 minutes or unlimied calling to zone 1 just to access zone 2 60 minutes

  • willl81 Wil (@willl81) reported

    .@Telstra need to get act together. Sends me email 2 months ago to tell me that they are enforcing changes on me. And when I call to update and cancel I'm told I need to call back 2 more times for packages to update before I can cancel? #facepalm

  • BitcoinFalcon Falcon Jones (@BitcoinFalcon) reported

    @cjoye I find this so funny, Bitcoin is down roughly 40% for the year whilst Netflix, Shopify down 70%, Amazon, Telstra down 35%, Meta down 40% and Google down 25%. Anyone who has done any in depth research into Bitcoin knows it’s more than a viable alternative and isn’t going away

  • Vanroon Grant Elliott💧💉💉💉 (@Vanroon) reported

    @Magpie1954nBird Change provider. I had no end of issues when a Telstra customer twenty years ago. Got onto another (Optus iirc) to provide phone, fax and internet. After a certain number of breakdowns through them, Telstra as lessor became subject to penalties. Win, win.

  • GLComputing Mike Lazarus 👹 (@GLComputing) reported

    @Telstra @NBN_Australia @Foxtel Wish someone at Telstra would get the outage page to automated

  • GladesVillain Ying Yang Twinning🐯 (@GladesVillain) reported

    @LanaMurphy @Telstra Vodafone is a fraction of the price JUST AS **** But it's cash in your pocket 📵
