Customer: I changed my residence on 17th. December 2020 and was told to change the details on line which I done with success. a few days later my phone was cut off amid a conversation my wife was having with her sister. i notified Telstra, they showed little interest and sent me out a new modem box, after following connection instruction the internet was working but my phone was not. I finally succeeded to talk to a Shaira Marie on the 8th. January 2021 who gave me a case ref. no. 05262995 and an order no. 1-2803872694524 I assume this was the order number for the modem. I still did not have connection to my phone number 07 54426979 which I had for many years I need this number as it is the only contact I have with my wife when I am away as she can not drive and suffers from Alzheimer's, all our medical and family are able to contact her as mobile phones get displaced. I have had a meeting with Telstra Noosa with no results, I was told the problem was still pending, this was on the 28th. Jan. 2021, I followed this up with Telstra Nambour who advised me to contact the ombudsman if I did not get results soon. I received a bill from Telstra

John Melis, Expert

Hi, I’m John Melis, solicitor, and I am in Australia. I know you have a lot of choices, and there are various ways to move forward. May I suggest that you consider the following steps:

I suggest you issue written correspondence to the company explaining the problem and request a response within 72 hours.

Once a company receives a written response, they will act quickly.

Many people around Australia are having the same issue.

You can issue the complaint on the company's website. You may also send correspondence by Express Post to the head office.

If no reply is received, then commence proceedings in the local tribunal.

You do not need a lawyer to apply with the tribunal, and you can run the case yourself in this particular respect.

Would you like to consider this option?

​You’re handling this matter very well.

If there is anything else, big or small, that I can help you with today, please let me know?

Customer
THANK YOU knowing someone cares is a blessing, Telstra has no compassion except sell products.
