It lives!!!!!

<sigh> Well I'm pleased to hear that *someone* gets decent service out
of Telstra

Hey; they give service. Just like when a bull "services" a cow!

 

the company I work for are one of Telstra's largest customers with
several hundred of thousands of connections with them and they treat
us like total and utter shit...

 

Yup, I've been 'serviced' by Telstra...

 

You're not a customer. You're a competitor that they're being forced to
share their infrastructure with so that you can make a profit at they're
expense. You should be thankful that they treat you that well.

I mentioned the war once but I think I got away with it.

 

Haven't we all? <waddles away bowlegged>...

 

Someone at the top needs to arrange to 'forget' to pay the bill.
Just one month ought to do it

The Australian Government offers a free mediation service that
deals with Telstra on behalf of Telstra customers. They're called
the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman. I use the TIO with (on?)
Telstra quite regularly.

I've always got decent service out of Telstra. The complaint I have
against them is that they are so much more expensive than the other
carriers. So at the moment I am on Vodaphone, even though they have
shit coverage here in Tas. I've just ordered a new phone that I notice
can handle dual SIMs. I haven't investigated it, but am hoping that
means I can put in a Telstra SIM as well and choose which carrier I
call out on. But I'm also thinking that means I'd have to have 2
mobile numbers which I doubt I want to go to. Phone will be here in a
week so I'll suss it out then.

 

A dual-SIM phone should be able to handle SIMs from 2 different networks
simultaneously. Useful for people who need to carry an on-call work
phone without the need to carry around two handsets.

bought a vodafone sim card and $18 credit ($20 all up) from woolies
last week....activated it via vodaphone voice recognition, name, address
and nsw driver lic. no. supplied......up and running.....:^)

 

I switched over to prepaid about a year ago after 20 years of
contract. I've used Telstra, Optus and Vodaphone. No credit check,
just your address. They don't care. If you are paying fr the calls
before they use them, why would they? I even got a Telstra pre-paid
while I was in credit default on the contract after I got back from
Britain and was broke and couldn't pay my phone bill which had blown
out to silly proportions. You give them money, they'll give you a SIM.
