  • skwashd Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, State of Victoria

    @Telstra Email received from fixit team rep Tuesday morning AEDT. Replied Tuesday afternoon AEDT. Sent follow up early Thursday morning AEDT. Called midday AEDT today, got voicemail and emailed to ensure she knew I'd called and wasn't OoO. My initial complaint was submitted ~6wks ago.

  • skwashd Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, State of Victoria

    @Telstra I have suggested times she could call. She always calls at other times. She never calls back within the windows advised by colleagues. Email is the most efficient way for us to move forward at this point.

  • skwashd Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, State of Victoria

    @hipstergeddon @Telstra I finally found someone competent. Hopefully I’ll get a resolution tomorrow.

  • skwashd Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, State of Victoria

    @Telstra It doesn’t seem to matter who makes the request. It all goes into the same black hole. You know things are bad when @andy_penn can’t fix stuff at Telstra.

  • skwashd Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, State of Victoria

    @mattgillard @Telstra I’ve found chat is the best way to get shit sorted with Telstra these days. The transcript is very helpful in case of problems down the road.

  • skwashd Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, State of Victoria

    Telstra fuckups are like bad luck, they always come in 3s. I'm being billed for O365 with no warning previous free offer had expired. 10 digit account numbers allow access to different products compared to a 13 digit one. Getting an Apple Watch on a business plan is a major PITA.

  • skwashd Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, State of Victoria

    @Telstra I wasn’t getting anywhere with the complaints team lead. I lodged a complaint with the TIO. They told me to work with Telstra to resolve the issue. The team lead is insisting I deal with the TIO. That contradicts what the TIO says you should be doing.

  • skwashd Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, State of Victoria

    @Telstra I can also give them the TIO complaint # when they contact me. The team lead I was dealing with insisted on sending more boilerplate about me emailing my DOB and refusing to acknowledge I’d authenticated over the phone. I don’t care who sorts it out. Email me a concrete offer.

  • skwashd Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, State of Victoria

    @Telstra Thanks for the boilerplate response. I feel like a valued customer. The issue is the complaints team are unwilling not unable to resolve this matter.

  • skwashd Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, State of Victoria

    @Telstra The specialist team never contacted me despite the message here that it had been escalated to them. So many failures from your side in handling this matter.

  • skwashd Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, State of Victoria

    JFC! I order new phones from @Telstra. I get 8 missed calls & a voicemail from Telstra Business Centres. I waited 12mins to find out Kelly wanted to tell me about their exciting products but she was busy with someone else. @andy_penn I feel like a commission cheque not a customer

  • seqldr SE Qldr (@seqldr) reported

    @Telstra @DonERiQ One click of a button and Telstra can see quickly that his same device/IMEI connected perfectly 48 hours ago. Suddenly it doesn’t work. Outage checker shows no outages. It’s not even connected to the same “issue” database that Tori uses.

  • DonERiQ Don Eriq (@DonERiQ) reported

    @seqldr @Telstra I haven't had a signal on my personal phones since 2 days ago. My work one is functioning perfectly . They're on the same network. I don't understand why

  • DonERiQ Don Eriq (@DonERiQ) reported

    @seqldr @Telstra Yeh. The customer service has been horrendous.

  • SamGroeller SAM 🔺(🎩, 🧠,🐉) (@SamGroeller) reported

    Hi @Optus, Please fix your ****. Been a customer for 8 years and I still need to be credit checked to upgrade to a new phone & plan? Your servers won't even let a credit check through. Been here for over an hour and made 0 progress. Regards, Soon to be new @Telstra customer!

  • seqldr SE Qldr (@seqldr) reported

    @Telstra @DonERiQ Typical isn’t it. Inconvenience non technical people for half a day by swapping out SIM cards and fruitlessly restart and reset devices. Anything to take focus away from Telstra’s inadequately equipped network. Yet ur still sprinkling 5G like it’s the solution for everything!

  • DonERiQ Don Eriq (@DonERiQ) reported

    @Telstra As you can see since I gave you the reference number.. i gave it plenty of shots. They just didnt give a ****

  • FrankieJBroph Frank (@FrankieJBroph) reported

    Is there any other company as bad as @Telstra when it comes to trying to get through to an actual human on the enquiry line? They treat customers like we are their biggest problem rather than their greatest asset. Another John Howard achievement!

  • mattgillard Matt Gillard 🎄 (@mattgillard) reported

    @Telstra Yes. They said nothing they could do. I am a customer of 15+ years and have the price increase 200% is a bit rich.

  • LtzKotori Kotori (@LtzKotori) reported

    im honestly over @Telstra. when i first got my internet service it was alright but since then its just been getting worse and worse. raise complaints nothing gets done or they say they try to ring me and then cancel the complaint even tho i didnt get the calls

  • mattgillard Matt Gillard 🎄 (@mattgillard) reported

    @Telstra they were not helpful when I contacted them through the app. Formal complaint lodged.
