-
🇦🇺Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@Telstra 2hrs this morning wasted with your member chat trying to take out a new contract, long term customer counts for nothing, go on Optus site and as a nobody I got a better deal straight off.

The Hon. Bob Baldwin (@bobbaldwinmp) reported from Maitland, New South WalesWent to upgrade my iphone today. @telstra want my CC details for automatic deductions each month. (Never been late with monthly payment yet) With all the current cyber security issues I cannot agree with giving approval to a potential target company to make auto deductions

Sir Craig Diebert (@eldieberto) reported from Maitland, New South Wales@stymo78 @Telstra @brandonvidler help a bloke out #locallegend
-
Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@Telstra Leasing a phone was the worst choice I made to be honest. I expected I’d receive a call or letter at the 12mo mark with an option to renew, replace or buy out but I wasn’t contacted. I would have bought it out then.

CLV155* (@colinelvy11) reported from Loxford, New South Wales@MaryaEJones @Telstra Up and running with a new provider now Marya. I took the hint that Telstra didn’t want me as a customer which is what they must have been doing
-
Justin Holland (@novahollandia) reported from Maitland, New South Wales@Telstra spoke to a technician. Apparently a problem with the line. #NBN involved ( God help us). Appointment now booked for (Drum roll....) 14th April Seriously? I suppose the NBN technical support can't be faster than the #NBN.

Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@Telstra Yep. Unfortunately I’m so disgusted with the way I’ve been treated as a customer will see me head to @optus Telstra high prices dont reflect the service you receive from staff when there is a problem. It’s disgraceful. By far the worst telco I have dealt with, ever.
-
CLV155* (@colinelvy11) reported from Loxford, New South Wales@Telstra It’s the second time Emily. But guess what ? I’m working at a superb solution to the matter And I was a Telstra customer for years
-
Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@Telstra your live chat is a total shitshow. I wasted 20 minutes there with an issue and got non coherent answers from a team leader. I’m so sick of you and your shitty service, and your inability to send me a paper bill on time, or in this case at all.
-
Justin Holland (@novahollandia) reported from Maitland, New South Wales@Telstra hi, my wife's NBN has been down for 2 days. She's rung several times only for her call to ring out. Pretty hard to run a business with no NBN.
-
🇦🇺Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@recneps51 @Optus @NSW_FairTrading I bpay to telstra also, I know they charge me for a paper bill, which I request but never receive, but I don’t know about the other bit. I’d never allow direct debit, especially Optus, I used to ring them every other month about issues.
-
CLV155* (@colinelvy11) reported from Loxford, New South Wales@RonniSalt @Telstra Up em Ronni. Love their customer service model: - “F•ck the customer. Make em wait.”
-
Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@Telstra No way will I be staying with Telstra when my plan is done. Sorry to say but you’ll lose me as a customer no matter what.
-
Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@Telstra Yeah, I will. It’s a real shame that this service is the norm. There’s a lot cheaper options out there, and you’d think service would be amazing from Telstra, but nope.

Muz De Sac (@MuzzaDavo) reported@lagoonki Incidentally, while I was taking my pic on the Yorke, my phone was operating on the signal from the Telstra tower on Kangaroo Island, it's so close.
-
afraid_au (@afraid_au) reportedAussie @tarkov players using iPrimus or Telstra as an ISP may be experiencing high ping to the Sydney server. No ETA on a fix at this time.
-
Ladybugfunk (@ladybugfunk) reportedSo the government can spam all our phones but they can’t stop the curry muncher scammers from calling us under the pretence of - solar panels, batteries, Telstra tech support, ANZ Bank security executive - lol that last one was hilarious. given I knew head of security of a large corporation and nobody in head office would be calling customers. Ever. **** you very much Albo!
-
Steven Payne (@CmonMick) reported@Buccoatthecat @RouleurCapital @DHughesy Yes we get to vote them out periodically. We get a say Can I vote out Telstra & use a rival 000 service when they screw up. The energy infrastructure is owned by 1 priv company in SA. They dictate charges. The public cant just simply not buy ( energy ) what they are offering🤷
-
Wal (@wally_waldo83) reported@FinancialReview This is classic regulatory free riding. Why would anyone pay Telstra prices or why would Telstra keep investing billions in regional coverage if customers can buy the cheapest network then use Telstra whenever theirs fails? Emergency roaming makes sense. Forcing the company that built the better network to subsidise competitors who didn’t is how you eventually end up with nobody investing in the better network.
-
Milkers CTO (@MILKERSBOUNCE) reported@cb_doge I speak for all of Australia. Bypass Telstra entirely and deliver the service directly. It would be the largest onboarding event ever seen.

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.

💧Daren Connor 🇦🇺 (@connor_daren) reported@Telstra you send me messages to say the network is having issues & use wifi calling but if the network is having issues which affects my devices then how the hell do I use wifi calling when there’s no network? How long will this be going on? This is the 4th day of these messages
