    @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.

    @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.

    @jriewolod @Telstra You can contact OPAN Older person’s advocacy Network for free advice and support to get justice and a full refund. The Australian Competition Consumer Commission ACCC can also assist with unfair contacts that over promise and under deliver on contractual agreements. 1800 700 600

    I’ll second this. I note Albanese has no issue shackling the ALP’s NBN around our necks despite Telstra either.

    .@Telstra In 2025 I had an issues with Telstar email outgoing server to my desktop. Eventually after 8 weeks Telstra finally accepted they were a cause of the dysfunction of my application. Today after 7 weeks I have had cause to write the following to Telstra. Dear Help Desk (Vicki Brady) Last Thursday and I don't know if it was in response to my previous write message (ONE OF SEVERAL) I was via text/sms promised a support call. New Case/reference Number 129518320 I have heard nothing! This issue with your server connectivity to my desk top application,encryption to your server incoming to my app means this matter has been ongoing now for 7 weeks. In April/May 2025 it took Telstra 8 weeks to accept responsibility. In the meantime I have been struggling with Webmail and today I can report in detail recorded over the past 3 days 11 (Eleven) separate bugs in webmail that are repeated multiple times amounting to 21 (Twenty One) cases of dysfunctional instances this morning.  These  issues reported at least as far back as 2023 but were again at various  times over the past 7 (Seven) weeks. Only with a desktop application can these issues be minimized. The last consultant prior to my message of last week was highly disingenuous with me saying he would keep the case open until I as I offered to do again consult MS about the issues . The outcome was he simply closed the case  as reported to you Tuesday last. DM's not accepted. Here is fine. Nothing to hide

    @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.

    @ashleycanttweet Social media truly signal boosts the most negative people these days because I remember back when I was playing a ton of Horizon 3, and as an Australian I don't recall people online ever being so miserable. I was just marvelling at the wheelie bins and Telstra phone booths lmao

    @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.

    @rooboy_18 @Telstra @BelongAU Nice- Inflationary effect, cost of living incr' + them charging more for decreasing standards of service provision, sure makes #Telstra look like greedy, divisive, heavy hitting #CorporateVultures.
