    @Telstra I wanted to talk to a human in front of me about my iPhone ear speaker not working properly and possibly purchasing an Apple Watch. And as far as prebooking, not everyone has time or knows what they’re doing every hour of the day to be able to do that.

    @Telstra I get that the network and the usage is different in big cities and in the country but nowdays all business need a mobile, and unfortunately some people expect 24x7 availability. No network, no business, no $$$. 😑

    @Telstra Plus raising a concern like that is heaps of time which I have lack of atm. I'm just back from Europe where the network works even in the metro, here in #Townsville it disconnects in the elevator or undercover carpark too.

    Hi @Telstra! I use my iPhone as a remote for my #TelstraTV. However, I did an update last night and now my iPhone can’t find my #TelstraTV on my network. Any advice? Thanks

    @Telstra You really need to fix your Telstra stores. I do not expect to go into one to have to put my name down on a list and wait sometimes up to 3 hours to be served. 🤬🤬 I’d call your call centre…… but I cannot understand the people I’m talking to Keep jobs in Australia!

    @Emma_Janexxxxxx @Telstra I have no plan, cheers. 😚 I am with @ALDIMobileAU (pre-paid) which also uses the Telstra network but costs me $15/m.

    @ReganAM2210 @Optus @Telstra If you don’t have much luck get in contact with Aussie Broadband and connect with them. They don’t **** around like the big guys do and they’re direct and up front.

    Unique Images Australia (@UniqueImagesAus) reported

    @BassonBrain @Jessdistrict11 @SpaceX I live 10km from the ocean, between two major cities. No phone signal in many many locations on our major highways. Cannot send a text while talking on the phone. I have two Telstra numbers, highest cost plan. Without Starlink mini mounted in everyone of our commercial cars, no comms. Australia has no world class highway connecting cities. Has no coastal phone network or fast internet. It’s 2026 and I though I would be in a flying car, reality is I cannot make a call and text simultaneously.

    Police are searching for a second suspect after a copper cable stealing spree left dozens of homes without internet in Morphett Vale. Both ends of a cable had been cut in Telstra pits and dragged hundreds of metres down the road. Police say they spotted an SUV with a large amount of cabling on the ground before seizing various power tools from inside the vehicle. A 41‑year‑old Christies Beach man has been charged with theft and going equipped.

    @Jays200 @Telstra @boostmobile Never enjoyed resellers. The coverage isn’t the same and limited speeds ..

    @EFTM “Good time to bury bad news moment” kind of timing. Does it mean Telstra didn’t have the money before to improve services in prior years due to technology changes?

    Can't help but think about what insights Suttons, BMR, Chubb, Apec and Siemans received working for LendLease on Westpac, Telstra and all other major banks🤔

    @IceStationSpmda @fag_daughter Telstra has been paid for decades to provide a payphone service it cost more to fix vandalism then Telstra collected in call revenue, it's simply cheaper to make it free

    @MarcScottEmery @happyjas When big corporates (like Telstra) outsourced their call centres to India, two things happened immediately. 1) The customer records databases were stolen, and 2) Scam call centres opened up, calling all the customers and attempting to scam them. The big corporates were never held accountable, but they directly caused the Indian scammer tsunami that hit Australia.

    @estratgen My internet is ok apart from being slow and expensive but I get the same with 5g. Constantly dropping and reconnecting every half hour or so. So much for paying more so I can have Telstra because it's "more reliable"
