It's of note that the  December figures have not been published.

Perhaps if Telstra did something remarkable and FIXED their totally useless customer service department and made an App that actually works as intended, all these Brains Trust people would NOT be needed.

In response to your post....I advise that this contributor is not one of the brains trust,  despite over 4600 posts of assistance over many years.

@ProfessorPhone I think they were referring to the article itself, not your comment on it.

Thanks Jupiter,  that's another way of interpreting it.

"I think they were referring to the article itself, not your comment on it "

Precisely Jupiter,

This Telstra "social feel good" Crowd support is nothing more than a pitiful excuse for their hopeless customer support plan.

So help me, I have never in my entire life come across a company that has near ZERO customer support and accountability for their lack of action on so many fronts. The senior management of Telstra must live in a rarified atmosphere that precludes them from ANY responsibility for customer support and enraged customer contact. They prefer to farm the rage out to underlings who wear the brunt and isolate themselves from any real knowledge of the palpable frustration that exists amongst a vast majority of the Telstra customer base. The ONLY driving force they enact is to supply a fundamentally hopeless App that fails on so many details as to its' effectiveness and employ overseas call centre staff that are so limited in their ability to rectify any problem that they only create customer rage.
