    Anyone else having issues with the #Telstra presale for Sam Smith tox in #Ticketek???

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

    My main question, @telstra, is, when the F are you going to at least pretend to have a customer service?

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

    @Telstra I’m pretty sure you can’t force me to pay by direct debit. Considering your ineffective customer services, including your inability to effectively train your phone reps adequately, it’s reasonable I want to have some control on payment. Just like I do with gas, power, water etc.

    @Telstra Only yesterday I had extensive dealings with an overseas call centre! Five business days to fix a simple problem that should have been sorted nearly a year ago is why Telstra has such a bad reputation for customer service.

    Hello @telstra any update on Complaint Reference: 47824104 Returning to the office is a flop when over 1000 people don’t have a mobile phone that works.

    @Telstra I’m not going through 9 weeks of “have you updated your phone and rebooted your router” nonsense again, a process designed to never solve any issues

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

    Telephony is the only service where the cost has little relation to usage and value. Telstra “gave” me more data every year but my usage needs have not changed. Now I “have” 180gb/ month but have used less than 18gb/month this past year. But they insist I go to a new “plan”

    @fictillius @swearyanthony You mean Telstra 5G in the airport tunnel? I reckon that phantom service has cost me several thousand dollars

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

    @fictillius @Telstra I have been a customer for nearly a decade , paid all my bills all ontime. and am not a stranger. I had an ongoing plan I was working just fine. This is all about Telstra deciding they’re “Netflix” when they re not.

    @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 🥇

    @Maddy_Pappas_ @startrack Dispatched by Telstra yesterday. Stuffed up today. Disappointing is a silly thing to be, first world problems & all. But they can even tell me when I will get it now.

    @Telstra Service became available again late yesterday afternoon.

    @Telstra You start by gaping about inclusions and costs. Perfect. Completely agree. Why were you operating perfectly before without requiring one to pay beforehand without documentation. As already mentioned, open to accepting your pay-before service model. Just not automatically

    DAY FIVE trying to get some customer service from @Telstra!

    @naomid_au @Telstra It really is annoying. Very difficult to get any service for us customers.

    If you ever have a bad day just remember I read Telstra as Toyota today and wondered why I was being called about a fault with a car.

    @telstra hey i am trying to pay a bill but your online service not working. Also I tried to set up direct debit.

    Ugh the Telstra business support line told me I need to go to a Business Centre, the guy at the centre didn’t seem to understand my problem, I’ve gotten nowhere in 3 days and I’m frustrated 🙃

Telstra Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 10NewsAU
    10 News (@10NewsAU) reported

    Telstra CEO Vicki Brady has returned to Australia after cutting short an overseas trip to address the company’s nationwide outage. Brady apologised, saying Telstra “let Australians down”, after revealing she was unreachable for hours because the network disruption affected the company’s own phones.

  • LeFossile55
    The Fossil (@LeFossile55) reported

    @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra Oh but they certainly did do something. They ******* slashed their workforce. Some essential services should never be corporatised & then privatised.

  • peeeengry
    fanpengry🐧 (@peeeengry) reported

    Looks like Neil really was behind the Telstra outage. He literally sealed off the network. And no, I’m not just trying to seal the seals because penguins happen to be seal food. What am I saying. #neiltheseal #telstra

    @PaulBongiorno That's what you get when you vote Labor. 3rd world service. 3rd world infrastructure. For top dollar. If Musk launches in Australia substantially, if he has a desire to, Telstra will be wiped out.

    @Kate3015 You can bet, some Indian software blokes are involved, and I note the Telstra Head Shelia has finally arrived back from Hols, mind you, not that she can or will do anything to fix the issues.

  • RaymondKeown3
    Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reported

    This Telstra Shelia does not need to spend her time & money on rebuilding trust How about she builds a network that works! What she must do is explain what failed, how & why. And what she has done to ensure it does not happen again.

    Rebel News Australia (@RebelNews_AU) reported

    🚨 Labor Government Says It’s Time for Telstra to ‘Face the Music’ for Not Putting Australians First Communications Minister Anika Wells said the Labor government will hold Telstra to account following a network outage that she said had made the last few days “really difficult for many Australians.” She said Telstra must demonstrate it is reliable and puts Australians first. Critics have argued the Labor government is also responsible for the disruptions to Australian's lives as a result of the network outage.

    @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra There is a lot of ignorance in this feed.., I’m not an expert but I know more than the average Joe Telstra has likely got the best technology and infrastructure and IT. Better IMHO that the other full service telcos These networks are incredibly complex 1/2
