    @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

    @Telstra may I just say how frustrating it is to accomplish simple tasks via your silly chat system in the app, a simple messagebank change should not take 2 months of waiting days for a reply, then when I reply being kicked back to the bot! Fix it or answer calls! #TelstrFail

    @jriewolod @Telstra You can contact OPAN Older person’s advocacy Network for free advice and support to get justice and a full refund. The Australian Competition Consumer Commission ACCC can also assist with unfair contacts that over promise and under deliver on contractual agreements. 1800 700 600

  • Granville4879 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Granville (don't call me Bot)🚢🇦🇺 (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @abcnews So my experience using IIG was a dream, just dealing with Telstra in the lead up was a horror and why I am no longer their customer.

  • scibidoo Jamie (@scibidoo) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @mig_loren @bencmorrison I have my iPhone and iPad on Telstra SIM with shared data.255gb shared. It's come down over the years but the convenience of an esim when travelling is pretty cool. Still expensive if you just use the Apple provider interface.

  • KateHamilton88 Kate Cunningham (@KateHamilton88) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    Let me guess @Telstra you want me to call your incompetent staff again... HOW ABOUT FIX THE PROBLEM NOW!!!! 2000236045330 otherwise I'm taking my 2 mobiles (BYO), NBN and foxtel to another provider..

  • Jubbsy24 Jubbsy (@Jubbsy24) reported

    @andy_penn it’s been over 7 days from the point at which my Telstra case manager promised to call back after a already protracted fortnight of being ignored and shuffled around. As CEO, can you let this long term customer know the secret to actually getting a reply?

  • RebeccaLCaygill Rebecca L. Caygill (@RebeccaLCaygill) reported

    @Telstra why is it so hard to to talk to someone on the phone??? The stupid automated voice crap I've had to go through 3 times just to be told "follow the link to our website" before being cut off has me in tears! I've paid my bill twice. I need a refund. Who do I talk to???

  • Rebecca06548170 Rebecca Brennan (@Rebecca06548170) reported

    For the last 3 days, my telstra mobile data is either very slow or non existent. I have tried turning the phone off and on, it's not my phone. A colleague at work is having the same difficulties. Please can you help??? @telstra @networkoutage

  • GeckoIce IceGecko (@GeckoIce) reported

    @Telstra Official worst tweet of all time.

  • RayWhitehead Grumpy old sewer rat 🐀 (@RayWhitehead) reported

    @Telstra I find it concerning that Telstra seems to have got rid of Aussie call centers. Had a complaint and they sent it offshore to the Phillippines.

  • lynlinking lynlinking (@lynlinking) reported

    @poornhonest I agree with you & keep the wrecked NBN , they wrecked Telstra so keep what's left , hands off selling or destroying Medicare, also how many Public Hospitals are in trouble MSM won't report , I know of a few

  • sklamb2 Susan Lamb (@sklamb2) reported

    @Telstra I am experiencing internet connectivity issues. Telstra ID creation failed at the verification email. I called 132200. It said “technical problems”and hung up. I called 132000. It said “Unable to find a suitable agent to assist you.” and hung up. Any suggestions?

  • maungle Martin Aungle (@maungle) reported

    @Telstra Sure - maybe try another DM now. Happy to explain in more detail what's been going on down here.

  • 4skinrestored Blank (@4skinrestored) reported

    Most of the work in solving a problem is in traversing the Labyrinth of middle men and saying the right magic words.I'll give a story because it's comfy in that Mencius Moldbug thread kinda way. I drove into a Telstra shop to get my number changed for a phone I bought days before

  • elwoodfan elwoodfan (@elwoodfan) reported

    @telstra Your message help is the the worst. Family has 3 phones with mobile speeds of <1 Mbps and they are trying to say the issue is at my end. It is a network issue in Elwood 3184.
