    💉💉💉 Granville in FNQ 😷 (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, Queensland

    @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

    @abcnews So my experience using IIG was a dream, just dealing with Telstra in the lead up was a horror and why I am no longer their customer.

    @Telstra may I just say how frustrating it is to accomplish simple tasks via your silly chat system in the app, a simple messagebank change should not take 2 months of waiting days for a reply, then when I reply being kicked back to the bot! Fix it or answer calls! #TelstrFail

    @mig_loren @bencmorrison I have my iPhone and iPad on Telstra SIM with shared data.255gb shared. It's come down over the years but the convenience of an esim when travelling is pretty cool. Still expensive if you just use the Apple provider interface.

    @Jason______A @the_don1722 The difference will be the level of support you get etc. have similar setups here where telstra (t mobile in Aus) own budget mobile companies. And you get pretty much the same package for much cheaper but lose access to their support etc.

    @Telstra 1 Calvert Avenue Killara. Shows nbn out. Trouble is I have low mobile data allowance and depend on wifi

    @AlanBixter @Telstra But it barely gives our public transport issues a run for the money.

    @Eckfarming @stationmum101 Telstra and its staff wouldn’t know a customer if they fell over one…..

  • SimonCotter62
    Simon Cotter (@SimonCotter62) reported

    @stationmum101 I just went to telstra. I have hearing loss, not one of the staff spoke clear English. They all had heavy Indian accents. It was very very difficult. The same for the staff at my dads nursing home. When they ring I ask them to email me. They are all friendly and try to help

    @Telstra when are you going to support RCS for iPhone in Australia because I would like to have it so green bubbles don't mess up group messages @Apple

  • waffle_4489
    Waffle (@waffle_4489) reported

    @IceStationSpmda All the Telstra pay phones in my area need an antenna they just say out of service

  • lightgolightly
    It's the climate, stupid! (@lightgolightly) reported

    @JayJay1094727 @AlanBixter @Telstra No. They come out and fix it.

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS That's the iOS 26.5 update adding end-to-end encrypted RCS (beta) support on Apple's side. In Australia it still requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone — they're not live yet. Rollout still looking like mid-to-late 2026. Toggle should appear in Messages once your carrier enables it.

    It’s funny how Telstra has never really rebranded despite their logo, looking like it was made using Microsoft paint.
