Telstra is crap
May 12th, 2023 at 6:36pm
 

Today, I got a phone call on my mobile from someone who rang to tell me that my business phone had somehow been redirected to their mobile number (previous business owner) Shocked. I have two lines for the business, one for phone and one for fax (I know, but some people insist on it). 

No idea how it got redirected. My staff had used the phone earlier to call some clients then when my wife went to use it an hour later there was no ring tone. At the time we assumed Telstra was doing some temporary work on the line because our internet had no issues.

Anyway, I try to call telstra to see whats going on but a business CANNOT get a phone number to call Telstra, a TELEPHONE COMPANY for assistance. The only number available is one they deliberately don't answer, all the whilst playing a recorded message asking you to download an app to contact them faster. I've had customers tell me they waited two hours on that line before it hung up on them. I waited an hour on the phone, whilst trying to deal with my customers at the same time, before I hung up. In the end I rebooted my modem and the problem sorted itself out.

Absolutely disgraceful customer service from Telstra and I'll be looking for a new phone company, although as I'm in a smaller town I suspect my options are limited.

I HAVE to be with Telstra (no usable NBN, thanks bloody Libs) but they suck, hard.

I finally got my modem end March—enquired and ordered in January! Two days later I got a bill. Told them I wasn’t paying it. They eventually cut my service off—I explained what happened on Twitter, service back on, first bill cancelled. Idiots.

Exactly. It's telstras fault your customers couldn't call you for several hours because your modem needed rebooting.

Do you call Microsoft every time your computer crashes?

I have one mobile phone with Telstra and one with Optus.

My NBN is with Optus.

Telstra is appalling.

I have a PO Box as my postal address, but I cannot get Telstra to recognise it - I just keep going round and round in circles with them.

When I went into a Telstra shop for assistance the young lady there was very friendly and she gave me her email address: "Any problems at all, you email me and I'll fix it for you.  Guaranteed".

So, I emailed her: "I can't get through on the phone number you gave me - it either rings out or cuts me off shortly after answering".

Her response: "Keep trying. That number gets quite busy".

Telstra IS crap.

I am asking you, FD, not bloody Telstra.

My computer didn't crash moron. And it was telstra who redirected the phone to start with.   Is there a point to your stupidity or are you just trying to reassure your members that you're just  as stupid as you usually are

Many companies refuse to accept po boxes as your address.  I can understand when they need to ensure your identity but to refuse it as a delivery address is ridiculous.

13 22 00 or just call directly through their app and they have all your account details preloaded and verified when they answer.

I guess that's a bit hard when you're a.....
