    @Telstra Happy to say that I rang the First Nations Hotline @Telstra and the customer service was exceptional. After several weeks of trying to get this sorted I found someone that took time to listen and sort the issue out. Thank you Sanisha you deserve a medal 🥇

    @estelle_landy @Telstra I gave up years ago with them. They're so rude. 🥺

    @Telstra I know I’m writing in Twitter. I’m not a moron. But I’m reporting a problem in the Telstra app to you via Twitter. What’s your point? Are you trying to be obtuse?

    @chozari @BriarBush We left Telstra@our 1st KP address & had to come back at this address bc Optus doesn’t service our street.. services all the other streets around it but not this one … their service doesn’t suck anymore but it took 2-3mo to get the service up to speed! And lots of whinges here!

    @Telstra @andy_penn So, the best option is to be persistent. Finally found someone willing to help. Ten minutes later the problem was sorted. But that didn’t get me back the hours I’ve spent talking to Indian call centres.

    @Telstra have you been playing with the mobile coverage on the T4 between Cronulla and Central - it’s progressing to get worst and especially in the tunnels from Redfern you can even get out. :( please fix it!

    Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Telstra You have had me as a customer for 7 years. What has changed. Because remember this is all because you decided you want me to have a new relationship with @telstra. I have M existing plan right now

    I must say whilst I am very frustrated with my NBN problems with @Telstra I am very happy with the Twitter support. I am hoping the local upgrades fix the issue very soon #veryslow #frustrating

    @hallstrong1 @crackerscraigo .. but couldn’t imagine doing any of this successfully with Optus who ****** us around for the best part of 5yr. Had to move to Telstra bc they don’t service the street we moved to .. this after moving from Telstra because custom 1987-2011 wasn’t enough to ensure good service..

    @Telstra Native 4G on my phone just got me 106 down and 18.7 up. I get nowhere near 25/5 with the backup feature of your modem.

    @Sandra_Sully @Telstra I hope you get a helpful response to this, Sandra. I had a similar experience in 2020 that wasn’t resolved & the 89yo man I was helping gave up. Multiple calls not returned, promises of action & follow-up never kept. Fancy ads with tinkly music mean nothing.

    Woah Telstra outage

    @thegrumpypoof Which is why I have not been a Telstra customer in a very long time. Hope it gets sorted out

  • JPMasters

    @lesstenny @RNBreakfast I wasn’t listening this morning, but my thoughts are, rain - our infrastructure never considered there would be rain, mobile coverage infrastructure not keeping up with demand (I am 13km from Sydney GPO on a high point - hopeless with both Telstra and Optus), and NBN no doubt.

    @Telstra You already have all my info you need. I have been a. Customer for nearly a decade. Why are you treating me as a stranger.?

    **** Telstra. Usless app. Crashing down

  • jkalbrechtsen
    janet albrechtsen (@jkalbrechtsen) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    Of all the companies I deal with @Telstra is by far far the worst. I was told I couldn’t query an unauthorised bill amount. Couldn’t speak with someone more senior. In other words F.. O….

  • wheelyweb
    Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @ScottRhodie @Telstra Go for it. I’ll support you. I’ve had similar annoying conversations with them. If you have a history of late and failed payments, I might understand pointing you to a DD. If I can pay my utilities on invoice, no service should insist on a DD. #legislationNow

  • wheelyweb
    Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Telstra The message was sent and then I read it. The numbers should still be there. Are you telling a customer they’re using the customer support system wrong? But ok. I’ll do what you say and look at “my cases” and “reported faults” as you suggest. 1/2

    @Telstra @Josh_B_Rosner Cas, have you ever used chat support? You’d get more support talking to a wall.

    @andrew_thaler @nemagovau They forced me to download data on my phone by cutting my service off until I did.. telstra confirmed it was the " govt"

  • manukoreri
    manukoreri (Nick Chesterfield) 🇵🇸❤️🖤💛🇵🇸 (@manukoreri) reported

    @SimonBurns4 @Telstra @nemagovau Which is why it should have been a better algo. Priority 1, multiple broadcasts, override marketing and private SMS.... 7 minutes is very long time in a genuine emergency.

  • squirtlesma
    AlloAllo (@squirtlesma) reported

    @telstra ripping people off again & again How can you justify taking $280 repeatedly processing payments in $10+$20 lots for a PREPAID service & then not crediting the account 1x $20 was processed 4x & a pop up said it failed Now service suspended bill not paid IT'S PREPAID 🤬

  • AnnaBasic2
    Anna Basic (@AnnaBasic2) reported

    @RoadknightThe Yes but no even text message ping let alone some type of alarm they where carrying on about. My personal I pad and my work I pad both with cellular connections with Telstra never received a text at all or picked up on my phone receiving the message but no alarm. My Fitbit that gets all my texts didn’t get the text.

    @BonoboWanderer @Batman2242 My starlink is super fast and $40 a month cheaper than telstra. I've had no issues at all.

  • satoshigoy
    Satoshi Goy (@satoshigoy) reported

    The fact that the emergency AusAlert didn’t reach Optus customers who had no Optus coverage, despite Telstra towers being available, is absurd. An emergency warning system should use any available network to deliver life-saving alerts—not fail because your own carrier is down. In a disaster, network loyalty shouldn’t determine who gets warned. This needs to be fixed before the next emergency.

  • check307
    Kmac (@check307) reported

    It is time the Federal Gov stopped Telstra and others charging $3.30 for customers who want to secure there private details particularly bank details by using Bill Pay . These companies fail in protecting customers and yet they rob customers. I control my bank details not Telstra

  • connor_daren
    💧Daren Connor 🇦🇺 (@connor_daren) reported

    With all the massive profits that @Telstra are making, it’s about time they use some to improve their network coverage in areas other than big cities. Rural & regional areas all seem to share the one tower. Some even have to drive a kilometre to get service for a call.

    @AFL @Telstra Nice to have a midfielder that give a ****

  • TaraVenn
    💧💦Tara Venn (@TaraVenn) reported

    @deborahbrian Me. Probably due to Telstra black-out/inteferance from Pitch Black... I suppose defence (spelt with a 'c' cookers) takes precedence over Emergency Alerts? 🤔
