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

    @Bobi_magee2 Lucky you, talking. Took me hours and hours on "chat", by text, with Telstra, as I enter Day 13 of resolving hardware issue.

    You are an absolute joke @Optus Went into a store about an issue and they couldn't fix the problem and twice today I contacted the customer care centre, both times got put on hold and you hung up on me. I'l be contacting the ombudsman and moving my services to @Telstra

    @Telstra I’m trying to tell you your system is broken and you’re acting like I still have open tickets. There’s a number of other issues, but obfuscating the ref no and time frame numbers in an open chat string is a fail. Please acknowledge that.

    @slsandpet With Optus for 10 years. When I moved, I asked them to connect me at the new place. No, they said, we have no service there. Telstra came, the tech pointed and said “that’s an Optus box there”. I was assured that emails would continue for 3 months. Account deleted in 24 hours.

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

    @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

  • vacant3rdman
    Anthony Horton @spacelizard@aus.social (@vacant3rdman) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Optus I bought a 4G modem for use at a location that has coverage from your 4G network, only to find that it's artificially limited to 3G speeds. This is totally unacceptable. I want a refund so I can spend the money on a Telstra modem instead.

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

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

  • open5book
    Chloe Mason (@open5book) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @vivchook @mmechomski Suggest Tweet them, it works a treat with Telstra

  • s3_gunzel

    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.

  • mrsdenneysmith
    Jacqui Smith (@mrsdenneysmith) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @sebasu101 @Telstra Yowsers that is awful! Sort it out @telstra!

  • midii
    Ken Moore (@midii) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Telstra As if I can be bothered helping you guys fix a fault for somewhere I am parked for 10 minutes. Telstra is poor coverage in general now and reporting it doesn’t help I’ve tried at home for 6 months.

  • onebg
    Glenn Sargood (@onebg) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    It's wonderful that @Telstra keeps acknowledging that there is a problem with my NBN service and fix it. I have reminisced what the old dial up services were like for long enough I am ready for the 21st century again.

    Another night stolen from me as I try to have @Telstra deal with a problem it created.

    @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.

  • BJssoR
    Ben Ross (@BJssoR) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    Customer feedback led Telstra to bring their call centres home , in another five years they may realise their services are severely overpriced..

    @theage Telstra customers are very unhappy for the most part. From a customer point of you it’s the worst company I’ve come across. And I mean it. I’m not just sounding off. Can she clean up Telstra & make it a friendly, helpful and efficient organisation from the customer perspective?

  • Ispeek4me
    Oz Owl (@Ispeek4me) reported

    @Bigly20 @Caitlen2310 The Guardian asks why hasn't the government acted on regulations since the Optus outage last year? I ask what did the Coalition do about regulations after the Telstra outages in 2016 & 2018? What private discussions and/or guarantees did they obtain from Telstra after those events? In 2018 Triple Zero calls dropped out across 5 states for 10 hours. If it were so simple why didn't the Coalition insist on Telstra installing back up systems? Maybe we need a Royal Commission (joke).

    @blakandblack yep, they use lazy, lazy scapegoating. here and now example : while tech experts trace the Telstra outage to internal hardware and software issues, Barnaby baselessly blames China for foreign interference. Cheap scapegoating, dog whistling their base, rather than real solutions.

  • gxqxxkns5n
    Poyta! 🇦🇺 (@gxqxxkns5n) reported

    Got the corporate bs apology email from Telstra. I laugh when CEO says how serious they take things - but not serious enough to provide credit. FOS.BTW absolutely crap service in Darwin, Kununurra let alone anywhere in between. Looking forward to mobile direct to Starlink.

    @BigDog_USA @Telstra Oh the same old boomer slop. Hurry up and die from old age or diabetes like your fat as **** countrymen.

    @BareSware @Telstra I’m paying for a service that’s not been delivered. If you go a restaurant and pay for your food but you never receive the food, would you accept the restaurants apology as compensation? Or would you want your money back?

    @BigDog_USA @Telstra You must be deaf and blind. It was a massive outrage when Optus went down too. Not everything is about an agenda **** head.

    Why you should avoid Buying a Locked iPhone. Most iPhone vendors do not take out the time to explain to their customers why they should not buy a locked iPhone despite the price difference between the same iPhone model and same storage. This is what every iPhone customer must know about locked iPhones. Locked iPhones are locked to one carrier (e.g Verizon, Telstra, Vodafone) these are like MTN,Glo and Airtel here in Nigeria. These iPhones are Sold by a carrier with a network lock, meaning you can only use the iPhone with their network as a means to protect their investments. These carriers subsidizes the iPhones and lets you pay over a 12 or 36 months period depending on the plan. So only their networks work on the iPhones. Locked iPhones only accept the original carrier’s sim unless unlocked. They cannot be used with local networks e.g A locked AT&T iPhone cannot accept local sims like MTN or Glo. They have very low resale value. Now most vendors do not explain all this to their customers, they let them buy locked iPhones which would definitely give them issues later and upon return,charge them for the iPhones to get unlocked which in most cases are temporary solutions as the iPhones would still remain locked later, so buying them are generally a loss for the customer. Always insist on buying a Factory Unlocked (FU) iPhone no matter the price difference and persuasion from the vendor. Hope this helps someone out there.
