    @Telstra Hi from a Customer, call me NOW or do I need to go to the telegraph office and send you a telegram.

  • redadrianblue The grumpy old man (@redadrianblue) reported from Ballarat North, State of Victoria

    @Thefinnigans @PonderingPower @Telstra @HonTonyAbbott @TurnbullMalcolm You know, cheap and cheerful... but, hang on a minute, its neither of these things. Once again Australian's failed by the LNP.

  • mothmanthemoth mothman. / Eli (@mothmanthemoth) reported from Ballarat North, State of Victoria

    @NeptunianDreamz Even Telstra's kinda stinks these days. Went down to the Bellarine Peninsula this weekend and there were so many dropouts.

    @Telstra it has been a great disappointment and i do still need help, but it would be better for @Telsrta if this was concluded in a DM👍unless the world wants to know how badly i had/have been treated and deceived.

  • jenn__cross Jenn (@jenn__cross) reported

    @Optus Funnily enough, the Telstra staff actually directed my friend to Optus to help her save money. At what cost? Degradation? Being invisible?

  • BirminghamAg Andrew Birmingham (@BirminghamAg) reported

    Once again @Telstra you have taken an automatic payment from my bank account despite me twice contacting you in the last year and explicitly forbidding you to do so. Explain to me why I shouldn’t lodge a complaint with the NSW police tomorrow?

  • tiaisbrave Tia (@tiaisbrave) reported

    Went into the shop and with Tiffany’s very patient help paid the outstanding $164. That was over 6 hours ago. Still can’t make calls or send texts. I’m one of the few Telstra fans out here but this is a bit baffling (I take full responsibility for the initial bill problem)

  • mumbletwits Peter Brent (@mumbletwits) reported

    @Telstra Hi. There seems to be no one at your organisation who knows how to fix the problem of old computers (eg Windows8) not being able to properly connect to your 5g home wifi. I’ve dealt with four of your techies and we gave up in the end.

  • Christophorous Chris from Kuringgai (@Christophorous) reported

    @spinsafe Do corporates only take things seriously when it is legislated ? Yes legislation is a pain BUT ransomware and scams need a global telecommunications response to shut these criminal networks down. Telstra is a carriage of crime and new internet technology needs to be developed.

  • HKlonaris Harry Klonaris (@HKlonaris) reported

    @Telstra Free box for 34 year loyal customer?

  • OutbackGirl_ Catherine Byrne (@OutbackGirl_) reported

    Has any one been having problems contacting numbers in Curtin, ACT, today? Optus and Telstra websites not showing outages but there does seem to be a problem.

  • stanleywaite1 Stanley Waite (@stanleywaite1) reported

    Wow... in over 50 years of life, @Telstra are now the WORST corporation that i have ever had to deal with and need service from... where they blame everyone else for their errors/poor service... handballing the customer from department to store in a cycle, until they give-up...
