    Bribes for "Likes"?

    • Forgot69 on 17/02/2012 - 14:02

      I'm no fan of Telstra in any way, shape or form but this isn't unusual activity for a business. I'd hardly consider it a bribe, maybe a good bargain?

    • h4lcyon on 17/02/2012 - 14:20

      Isn't that the primary Facebook marketing model for businesses (logitechshop as an example)?

      At least you don't have to tag a picture of the T - lol :)

      Yes we cannot prevent merchants from asking for Facebook likes. It's one of their marketing ground as some said. However they are not allowed to request OzBargain +1's, either here or on other social media sites.

      • owencns on 18/02/2012 - 19:14

      yep a bribe and absolutely sick to death of companies expecting their customers to join them on facebook when not everyone wants to be part of such a network. But a fake facebook is handy for such things.

        expecting their customers to join them on facebook when not everyone wants to be part of such a network

        I dont think any company is 'expecting' you to join them on facebook, no ones pointing a gun to your head. Imo its simply an offer. You win some you lose some- whether its worth it is up to you.

    Good deal, but no idea why it takes a month to receive the voucher, similar promotions with 7/11 ect. give you the voucher immediatly.

      suggestion to Telatra Rep - please don't get too annoyed at us Telstra customers who are p15sed off about how much of Telstra's customer service team IS overseas. It does make it a LOT harder to deal with your employer.

      OK - rant over now

    • netsurfer on 17/02/2012 - 16:06

      Issues with Telstra Customer Reps:

      • Inconsistent outcome talking to reps in the same team (some are good and some are just awful).
      • Tendency to transfer calls between departments (and back and forth in a loop).
      • When a case is raised, the case manager does not contact you promptly.

      Main issue I have to Telstra (and also Optus):

      • Don't really care about old customers. They spend their efforts on new customers.
      • braddsey on 17/02/2012 - 16:40

        If you've got a serious complaint with Telstra raise a complaint with the industry ombudsman. Telstra will assign a customer service rep. to work with you until the issue is resolved.

        If you just want to have a general moan about the company, then stick to web forums where the only people who care are others with similar complaints but also can't be bothered actually doing something about it.

        optus care, they knocked off $20 for 6 months from my plan. when i said i'm going elsewhere.
        problem is that you are not on a high enough plan for them to care.

      • Captain Obvious on 19/02/2012 - 03:46

        I'd agree with your first point. When Telstra changed from the 25GB broadband plan (which I'm on) and made it 100GB for the same price, I thought 'great! more downloads'. I contacted Telstra and was told that I could 'swap' to the upgraded plan, but I'd lose my mobile phone bundle discount and our contract length would be reset, so I said no.

        Later on I got a bit of rage up and contacted them complaining about it. A woman replied and said that I actually COULD get the uprated plan with no extra cost and no contract extension. Big difference between what the two of them were saying.

      It states in the T&C that you need to hit the like button and remain 'liking' until the end of the promotional period, otherwise you won't get your gift card.

      I just heard about Telstra Top Hats and luckily my house is in one of the proposed Rollout areas - scheduled Feb 2012. Finally I might be able to actually get ADSL 2+. I promise I'll come back to Like once connected. =)

      Here is the link about Top Hats, and the link to rollout areas is under video.

    Is there an "I hate Telstra button"?

    In my experience Telstra has improved its practices and customer service over the last two years or so, under Government pressure - and it certainly needed to … but from time to time I am reminded it has a way to go in certain areas.

    Just on Friday they tried to charge me $1.75 to register my "dissatisfaction" as they put it - when I was looking for a refund for something they had done wrong!!!

    What other business tries to charge you for complaining about their mistake, as well as charging you for the mistake itself?!

    I like Telstra? An oxymoron surely.

    The more I think about it the more I want to neg this but its probably against the rules.

    • Tal_Shiar on 19/02/2012 - 02:56

      care to elaborate on that mistake?

      • mxyzptik on 19/02/2012 - 14:51

        Friday's mistake was small beer, but it's the principle, and previous notable mistakes have been outrageous - totalling over $12,000 on my family-of-four's account and the horrific thing is I don't even check my bills! I've even caught them hiding records! And EVERY time, after having had to waste time, and indeed involving the TIO, until they did the right thing, I've squeezed a huge credit out of them to rectify their overcharging. The credits are sufficient proof of their malpractices, which included charging nearly double the max rate for an Internet plan that didn't ever exist (for about 18 months, despite regular queries from me); overcharging a tel bill by $8,000, disconnecting it while I was overseas & refusing to reconnect it until it was paid!!!; and "perpetually" billing - their term for a disgraceful practice - a white pages entry that their own records showed we had cancelled, which one operator tried to cover up. Enough of me! :)

        Fridays mistakeS were re a call to 1234 seeking a tel number. The op couldn't find the # and when i told her it was on the internet she - erroneously - said they didn't use it. I thought that would be that - and that I would have to wear the charge ($1.75). BUT, having quicky found the # on the net, half an hour later I received an SMS with the same wrong number I told the op was nothing to do with the one I wanted. The new op said I would be also charged for the second call and it would cost me a further $1.75 to register my "dissatisfaction" let alone get a refund for the first call!
