Telstra Outage in Central Coast, Gosford Shire, State of New South Wales

@mazt_t @turnbull1949 They use pretty sophisticated computerised robo calls I'm told. The computer dials numbers at random and so on. You can't block it because it has never called before and bypasses the do not call register. Try calling Telstra, they cannot advise any real method to stop it.

Ok, I’ll buy the prepaid card to cover me for two weeks and port my number across to that. Oh sorry, we don’t sell the prepaid cards for our service in our @telstra shop. You have to go to a supermarket.

@Maddy_Pappas_ @startrack Dispatched by Telstra yesterday. Stuffed up today. Disappointing is a silly thing to be, first world problems & all. But they can even tell me when I will get it now.

Getting help from the @Telstra chat service is like pulling teeth. None of them seem to know anything, you get transferred around and the next person never reads what the last person went through.

@ScottRhodie @Telstra Go for it. I’ll support you. I’ve had similar annoying conversations with them. If you have a history of late and failed payments, I might understand pointing you to a DD. If I can pay my utilities on invoice, no service should insist on a DD. #legislationNow

@phillipwmoore49 @Telstra @Qantas Telstra are great, you've just got to be persistent. They didn't suffer at all during the pandemic in fact no doubt their business grew. Qantas like most airlines suffered a lot! My Qantas issue is 70,000 in their Queue and internal contact said maybe 2023 before they respond!

@Telstra @Josh_B_Rosner Cas, have you ever used chat support? You’d get more support talking to a wall.

DAY FIVE trying to get some customer service from @Telstra!

Check out my Speedtest results! 27.3 Mbps down and 0.2 Mbps up. How do your speeds compare? #Telstra #Nbn I think North Korea is better than this. Any suggestions?

@ScammerPayback Also: “I’m calling about our offers for Telstra customers” Me: I don’t use @Telstra (lie) Him: “I know you’re not Telstra customer” Me: 🙄 Hang up. Block.

@thegrumpypoof Which is why I have not been a Telstra customer in a very long time. Hope it gets sorted out

@Telstra @andy_penn So, the best option is to be persistent. Finally found someone willing to help. Ten minutes later the problem was sorted. But that didn’t get me back the hours I’ve spent talking to Indian call centres.

@Telstra Only yesterday I had extensive dealings with an overseas call centre! Five business days to fix a simple problem that should have been sorted nearly a year ago is why Telstra has such a bad reputation for customer service.

Another night stolen from me as I try to have @Telstra deal with a problem it created.

@GhostofBen22 @wheelyweb @Telstra Had to move to Vodafone because Telstra had so many issues in the places I needed to use my phone.

Might just cancel binge with Telstra & pay via binge only did it bc got free trial with Telstra

@Telstra You have had me as a customer for 7 years. What has changed. Because remember this is all because you decided you want me to have a new relationship with @telstra. I have M existing plan right now

@fictillius @Telstra If acma required me to identify myself, why am I receiving several calls a week from spam callers? Isn’t an Australian bank account evidence enough? All @Telstra arguments fail logic.

@fictillius @Telstra I have been a customer for nearly a decade , paid all my bills all ontime. and am not a stranger. I had an ongoing plan I was working just fine. This is all about Telstra deciding they’re “Netflix” when they re not.

@wheelyweb @Telstra They still need to have ID the person using the service.

@AsennaWealth @Telstra Did exactly the same to me...no seat ..just a line that goes no were as they attend new sales first. Never again.

I was using the Optus network as a Virgin customer until they folded, but I switched to Telstra despite Virgin customer being recommended to join Optus, meaning that non-Optus customers have also been caught up if they've used the network through another provider.

Why is it impossible for @Telstra to say their hours of operation on the IVR. Do you need me to come and work for you to teach you proper and appropriate customer service? Or do you enjoy being Australias worst telecommunications company?

@KenBerhan How awesome! I can now cancel my Telstra account and have movies streamed straight into my cortex.

@Donovan_Fergie @KazzieJean @Telstra A couple of years ago I was in an Apple shop sorting out a minor problem with my iPad. The service guy opened up a page on his screen that showed every password and account I’d ever had. He shut it down quick, but not quick enough for me to avoid seeing it. That scared me a lot.

@AlexDGlengarry @nineislands 1) Nevertheless, they ARE the third network. 2) They are no longer minor. 3) They now have access to Telstra's network in rural Aus, as per the article I linked. 4) The tweet that you replied to was asking about service providers, not networks. 5) Aldi uses Telstra's n'work.

@torak @tanyavolt Second that cheap, on the Telstra network we have not had issues with it and data rolls over as a bonus.

Great. I have issues with my @Telstra account which I susp. linked to my partner & I becoming each other's authorised person. Try to call them, the call centre is closed, so they force you to use the app so you get some agent who doesn't understand when you explain. 0/10 service.

@ohsixoneoh Looks to be on the Telstra network.

@ktdenise They have been since you signed up to them. Inferior service, poor reception. Now this. Telstra all the way.
