-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, Victoria@hipstergeddon @Telstra I finally found someone competent. Hopefully I’ll get a resolution tomorrow.
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, 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.

Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, VictoriaTelstra 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.
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, VictoriaFor 2mths @Telstra have mishandled my order and follow up complaint. @andy_penn’s fixit team refuse to review all the material but they think a $60 “good will” credit is enough to make up for it. @MichaelAckland3 I really feel like a valued long term customer.
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, 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.
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, VictoriaJFC! 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
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, 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.
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, 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.
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, 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.
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, 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.
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, 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.
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, 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.

AlloAllo (@squirtlesma) reported@telstra ripping people off again & again How can you justify taking $280 repeatedly processing payments in $10+$20 lots for a PREPAID service & then not crediting the account 1x $20 was processed 4x & a pop up said it failed Now service suspended bill not paid IT'S PREPAID 🤬
-
Collin Beath (@AusDeFi24) reported@teslaownersSV No good calling 000 if the telstra and other networks are down anyway
-
BeefyGold6669 (@BeefyGold6669) reported@sanpellyenjoyer I swear that one in the teal shirt was Steve from Dell tech support. And the one next to him was Randy from Telstra
-
Dane Trethowan (@grtdane) reported@ellensandell Poor demented greens, Telstra, Optus etc have had Data Centers around the place for years.
-
@ag6le.bsky.social Julian (@AG6LE) reported@ChinaSelect @RepMoolenaar .@Telstra rebadge their phones, and they are junk. They refused to replace my A5 (2017) (the TIO made them give me 6 month credit to compensate after they shut down 3G/NextG). Vodafone gave me an A17 to replace it,after I was using it as a modem.
-
Anoop Z (@anupelectro) reported@KobieThatcher It is same with Telstra Optus and Vodafone. Network monitoring is also done from India.
-
Sassy Cass (@SassyCassAus) reported@lostonabikeOz @RoadknightThe My telstra phone copped it despite receiving pretty much zero anything else on the cellular network here. Odd.

Brian Basson (@BassonBrain) reportedOokla: DIRECT-TO-DEVICE COMES OF AGE IN ASIA PACIFIC 🛰📲 Satellite direct-to-device (D2D) service, which enables smartphones to connect directly to satellites in areas lacking terrestrial coverage, is expanding rapidly across the Asia Pacific region. The region’s first carrier-run nationwide satellite texting service launched with New Zealand’s One NZ in December 2024. By mid-2026, six Starlink-based commercial services operated across four markets: One NZ, Telstra (Australia), KDDI/SoftBank/NTT Docomo (Japan), and Globe (Philippines, launched June 2026) Australia and New Zealand showed the highest activity. Detected users averaged 25.7 and 23.0 scans per month (Jan–Jun 2026)—near daily contact. Usage rose through the southern warm season (peaking in April) and fell in winter, reflecting outdoor recreation and remote work in coverage gaps. These levels far exceed denser markets like the UK (~4 scans/month) and match Canada’s high reliance. Philippines held the region’s largest detected D2D base (64% in Q2 2026), with activity detected from January 2026—months before commercial launch. Pre-launch growth reflected testing and opportunistic registrations. Population scale and disaster needs (e.g., earthquakes, ~20 tropical cyclones yearly) drive demand; Globe offered free access during a June 2026 Mindanao quake. Per-capita and frequency of use remained lower than Australia’s. Japan has the broadest free access (three operators) yet lowest sustained use. Detected base in June 2026 was about half its July 2025 level; users averaged only 7.6 scans/month. High urbanization and >99.9% population terrestrial coverage limit exposure to gaps. Operator figures (e.g., Docomo’s 5 million connected users) are higher but measure one-time connections across iOS/Android. Services function mainly as retention tools.

Chris (@Chrisjstony) reported@gjblue With about 180 new Appartmemts built less than 100mtrs from me in the past 10 years. Telstra bandwidth has failed. Telstra could not give a ****
