  Any Telstra customers in Adelaide having trouble at all sending or receiving texts today? Or emails?

• 
  Caz (@AltoCarol) reported 4 minutes ago from Adelaide, South Australia

  @Telstra - your so called Gold VIP help message service is failing miserably. Either employ staff who can understand a basic problem or don't bother. All you've done today is waste my time.

  @XboxANZ @rieper47 I would like to get a Series X on an all access pass, but I’m not interested in signing up with Telstra. I really hope you have another solution or organise for Telstra to sell all access standalone.

  Hey @woolworths and @Telstra 1/ Can you tell me why when I purchase a Woolworths Mobile Sim card which uses the Telstra network I have to pay to have my phone unlocked by Telstra to use their network? And why does it takes 8-10 days to perform a task that's 2 clicks of a mouse?

  Hey @telstra I am truly amazed at how bad your online support is. Seriously so far trying to establish data sharing across devices has taken 6 hours and I still haven’t progressed past getting the new sim.

  @Telstra I cannot reach out because the person who's name it's under is currently overseas so I cannot access the account. I have however troubleshooted the network with IT professionals, an ISP professional and performed every single step that would be provided to me by Telstra support.

  I have a @Telstra Bigpond email address (for years) but ever since getting a new @SamsungMobile Galaxy S10, I can't get my bigpond email to work on the App at my local Telstra Shop, that there's a glitch with this, and there's nothing I can do, but webmail. Is this true? Help! 😕

  Then I received a call this morning and attempted to do this for 30 minutes and my phone number is still listed on this loser’s account. So bad. Stressful and @Telstra is hopelessly inept

  @Telstra Apparently you (Telstra) are having ‘technical issues’ and aren’t giving TPG any indication as to when the issue will be resolved or when I will be connected.. 2 and a half weeks without internet and counting. Dismal service

  We still don’t have internet or a solution for the internet and I am so so angry (I never get angry) and exhausted from trying to sort it and I will *never* use the companies (@Telstra @Internode ) involved again because they failed on all four of the above <end rant>.

  Travis (@TravGee1980) reported 53 minutes ago from Adelaide, South Australia

  .@Telstra thanks for sending me another bill. If you want me to pay you might want to ensure you're providing me a phone service for which I should pay for. Merry Christmas. #Telstra #Itshowweusedtoconnect

• 
  Sullie (@SullieLore) reported 54 minutes ago from Adelaide, South Australia

  @xbox all access looks fantastic for X, but Telstra needs a mobile service with them to get it. Any chance of changing this policy or having a stand-alone with another company?

  Hello. Has anybody out there any idea why the Federal Gov. bought back the crumbling soon to be disused copper network from Telstra for $4b. The great money managers so we're continually assured .

  @cb_doge I speak for all of Australia. Bypass Telstra entirely and deliver the service directly. It would be the largest onboarding event ever seen.

  @VibewireCentral Great to see the reasons why @Telstra network failed. More money to shareholders other than into the network. #auspol

  @JakeBeer11 @OhappySt My telstra worked for this the first time outside of the small space it actually gets service here. Did it deliberately, and now I want to know what the actual **** Telstra ....

  @Starlink @Telstra Shame it's through Telstra and not purely Starlink. Speaking as an Aussie who's regional and driving 15 minutes any direction from my town has the service drop out, I love my Starlink. People in my town love Starlink. I hate Telstra. Cost a fortune and offer very little back.

  Recon Bull (@ReconBull) reported 11 minutes ago

  There has been no fresh commercial announcement between $ASTS and Telstra (ASX:TLS), although Telstra now appears on the AST website! Still, these numbers from Telstra’s current $SPCX Starlink-powered satellite service are pretty interesting: 26m+ satellite texts sent or received. 2.9m+ customers connected at least once. 200k+ connections per day, up from 80k at launch. Weekends and holidays are the busiest periods. Telstra has around 24.9m retail mobile and device services, so roughly 12% of its entire base has already connected via satellite in just 13 months. Australia itself only has a population of around 28m. Obviously this is Starlink, not ASTS, and these are users rather than paying satellite subscribers. But the bullish read-through is pretty clear. Theres obviously an announcement Incoming and demand for direct-to-device connectivity is not theoretical, even in a relatively small country with strong existing mobile coverage. If other regions see anything close to the same adoption, the potential usage across AST’s 3b+ partner subscriber base becomes pretty ridiculous.

  Ookla: DIRECT-TO-DEVICE COMES OF AGE IN ASIA PACIFIC 🛰📲 Satellite direct-to-device (D2D) service, which enables smartphones to connect directly to satellites in areas lacking terrestrial coverage, is expanding rapidly across the Asia Pacific region. The region’s first carrier-run nationwide satellite texting service launched with New Zealand’s One NZ in December 2024. By mid-2026, six Starlink-based commercial services operated across four markets: One NZ, Telstra (Australia), KDDI/SoftBank/NTT Docomo (Japan), and Globe (Philippines, launched June 2026) Australia and New Zealand showed the highest activity. Detected users averaged 25.7 and 23.0 scans per month (Jan–Jun 2026)—near daily contact. Usage rose through the southern warm season (peaking in April) and fell in winter, reflecting outdoor recreation and remote work in coverage gaps. These levels far exceed denser markets like the UK (~4 scans/month) and match Canada’s high reliance. Philippines held the region’s largest detected D2D base (64% in Q2 2026), with activity detected from January 2026—months before commercial launch. Pre-launch growth reflected testing and opportunistic registrations. Population scale and disaster needs (e.g., earthquakes, ~20 tropical cyclones yearly) drive demand; Globe offered free access during a June 2026 Mindanao quake. Per-capita and frequency of use remained lower than Australia’s. Japan has the broadest free access (three operators) yet lowest sustained use. Detected base in June 2026 was about half its July 2025 level; users averaged only 7.6 scans/month. High urbanization and >99.9% population terrestrial coverage limit exposure to gaps. Operator figures (e.g., Docomo’s 5 million connected users) are higher but measure one-time connections across iOS/Android. Services function mainly as retention tools.

  @Netherby1866 @NikkiGemmell The government is stupid and didn't force the carriers to push the carrier bundles to older iPhones, so the ********* at Vodafail, Floptus and Telstra only pushed it to iOS 26.4 and later! Android devices got it fine though
