  ai isn't as scary as the blind trust some people have of whatever ai-tainted search result sits at the top of the page. this guy at the telstra shop tried to tell me an 11 digit number starting with 1888 was the boost support number. we don't have phone numbers that long.

  @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.

  @PaulineHansonOz @Mummymobbsback1 This is not a bad policy. It's pretty good. As long as the people representing the tax payers are legit and not multimillion dollar leeches like we had with Telstra. And also they must be born in Australia. No foreigners to run the taxpayers interests.

  @Telstra Right now I’m in the city centre out in the open in a carpark and only 2 bars reception, you have to admit that’s terrible

  @Telstra no internet or 5g in my area since very early Saturday morning, called up support and your support doesn’t even know there is a problem and can’t give general timeframe for a fix, beyond a joke @Optus might be getting some new customers very soon

  @itsiclassic Like I would've just gone and called support from one of the free Telstra payphones if I'd known it was gonna take that long and the store couldn't do anything

  Has Telstra mobile been dog **** for anyone else in Sydney recently? Just tons more black spots of no coverage on 5g?

  @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS That's the iOS 26.5 update adding end-to-end encrypted RCS (beta) support on Apple's side. In Australia it still requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone — they're not live yet. Rollout still looking like mid-to-late 2026. Toggle should appear in Messages once your carrier enables it.
