    @bkubel That’s Telstra, did #StayHome March last year then #StaySafe most of the last year or so, and updated to #LetsVaxx around like June. So far as I know it’s on all phones they support

    @maesy5 @Telstra Yep! 100% I don’t even bother anymore. It’s frustrating and such a waste of time. Apparently it dropping out consistently is no issue. I think we’ve all been taken for a ride on this.

    @Telstra Data was DEFINITELY not working for ~10 mins in Melbourne.

    @telstra showing home internet outage until Wednesday for Kew, VIC. And supposed 4G backup modem not worth two bob. Seriously, third world service, perhaps not even that good.

    @cameronwilson Also v handy for checking “does X network actually provide service where I’m at /. Work or live?” Without having to sign a contract or >1 month typically. Where I’m at in aus Telstra and Vodafone seem to be the best combo, Optus just does NOT work. At all, YMMV etc

  • GlennHampson

    @KenCrompton Vodafone are horrible and Telstra are way overpriced

  • Niksterisms
    Nikki Clare (@Niksterisms) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Oh the @Telstra saga continues. So, Telstra won’t issue me a refund themselves. Oh no. I have to go through BPAY and my bank to request the refund. You guys are a piece of work. You have my money but someone else has to refund me. Absolute joke.

    @peters_malcolm He sold everything Telstra and let gas go for nothing and stupid media call him good treasurer which bull ****

    Hey @Telstra is there an issue with crossed lines or something on the 4g network?

    Walk into Telstra shop to renew everything and new phones contracts and only taking appointments only l have loyal customer over 20 years can’t do it on week days so put pre order iPhones first before walk in customers

    @Telstra Thanks Reggie it happened late October and I spent quite a while trying to seek assistance by messaging system. I kept getting referred to someone else and the new messaging would start by asking what the problem was after speaking to someone r previously. I ended up resolving.

    @Telstra Sydney 2000 just off King st. Walked up to Elizabeth st. Same problem. All good.

    Received a phishing call allegedly from @Telstra - a little more clever than usual - they offered a 40% discount on my bill for 12mths & when I said "sure,apply the discount" they said they just needed some"verification": name&DoB. Never give these details to unverified callers.

  • TimothyJ_23
    Tim (@TimothyJ_23) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Telstra I understand all that. I'd just think if the issue happens on telstra devices and not those on other networks maybe it's something to discuss with the venue. I know telcos work with venues on capacity boosting infrastructure hence my suggestion ☺

  • _TimMcMahon
    Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @vertikar @NBN_Australia @Telstra The irony in Telstra workers having Optus and Vodafone services for continuity just in case nbn and Telstra mobile go down. 😬

  • dgmonty16
    Dale Monteith (@dgmonty16) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @debbie_prest Try talking to any one in person at Telstra. All by messaging system and go round and round where you are referred to someone else and you have to repeat why you need help. Talk about backward step and shocking customer service

  • _TimMcMahon
    Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @NBN_Australia @Telstra Ended up being a <12 hour outage instead of 4 days. 🥳

    Couldn't help misreading that @Telstra ad painted on the ground as "Australia is Why..T". Like when your eyes go the wrong way on a comic. Unfortunate visual oops. #NRLGF

    Eileen Ormsby (@EileenOrmsby) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Telstra Hey, #telstra why ask to DM if all you’re going to do is tell me to message the app? Why not say it here? The app is an abyss of endless requests to repeat the steps that didn’t work the first 50 times, before fading away without a resolution

    @Optus when can we expect to see Pixel 7 phone preorder information? Current @Telstra customer looking for a better deal. @VodafoneAU currently looking favourite

    @robb_j_m everyone ******* moaned and kniffed Rudd in the back they then sold it off to telstra because this stupid government doesn't know how to create money they only know how to Tax

    NEWS: Telstra and TPG push Australian government for competitive spectrum auctions despite SpaceX warning Australian mobile carriers Telstra and TPG Telecom have urged the government to go ahead with open, competitive auctions for spectrum licences used for mobile and satellite mobile services, even after SpaceX warned it would withhold Starlink satellite mobile service in Australia if it isn’t given priority access to key wireless spectrum. SpaceX has made it clear that its satellite-to-mobile network (Starlink Direct to Cell) needs guaranteed access to Australia’s wireless airwaves to launch its full services — including voice and data for phones directly from satellites. But Telstra and TPG argue that giving one provider priority access risks limiting competition and could lock in high prices for consumers. A TPG spokesperson said competitive auctions are important because market concentration is a real risk if policy settings favour a single operator. They stressed Australia should encourage multiple satellite providers and business models, not entrench dominance by any one company, whether traditional mobile or satellite-based. Telstra and TPG’s stance comes amid broader debate about how Australia will manage spectrum — a critical resource that carries all mobile voice, text and data traffic. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has been consulting on future spectrum licences and how to allocate them fairly as older licences expire and new services are developed. Telstra itself has been active in satellite-mobile tech, testing and rolling out basic satellite messaging in Australia using SpaceX’s Direct to Cell system, but carriers say full commercial services must not be tied to exclusive spectrum access for one provider.

    @disco___cat I’m happy with a Boost 365 day plan and they use the full Telstra network. No point paying a premium for the Telstra brand I think.

    @AussieVal10 Because of the Howard Government we no longer receive dividends from previously owned Government entities like the Commonwealth Bank and Telstra because they sold them. Good move Johnny you ******* economic vandal. Oh and BTW they sold off our gold reserves for **** all as well.

    deirdre ritchie (@deirdreritchi10) reported

    Weird. Just got a message from Telstra saying that tomorrow there is going to be an interruption to my home internet service for up to 5h 59m. Why didn't they just say 6 hours? Bizarre.

    @markbouris John Howard a failed PM that lost his own seat. Sold off Telstra to the people that already owned it at a time when we needed to upgrade to optic fibre network. Tried to introduce Workchoices to destroy wage increases. Sold off gas on 30 year contract . Neg gearing and CGT ..

    @BrilliantMaps As a Canadian who has never been there: Qantas, Macquarie, BHP, Telstra and a couple of banks are the only names that ring a bell.
