I would like a record of my online chat transcripts. Can someone explain how I can get access?

It appears the way to not help someone is to read the message on chat, respond a few hours later and then close the chat as no response. Therefore, not resolving enquiries and wasting hours of customer time.

We have so many similar posts here like yours....about Telstra's appalling "service"

I haven't found the way to get a Telstra Chat transcript, which was possible previously on closing the chat. It's also harder to get reference numbers under the new customer support model. Not sure exactly why this is the case but I have my suspicions..

Now, if I am in a chat from the My Telstra app, I have got into the habit of taking screenshots as I go... the chat invariably goes astray.. so I like to have a record. It's a tedious way to gather proof but the only way I have found lately.

Thanks @SteveW_52, I have been taking screenshots and I have also contacted the TIO. The service is ridiculous.  You open the chat 3 or 4 times and they ask you the same questions from a script and do not read the hours of information you have previously provided. I'll let the ombudsman hopefully resolve my issue otherwise I'll need to take it further as in my case there has been a severe data breach.

If you are going to the TIO, raise a complaint with Telstra first (just before is fine) so they can see you are trying to get a resolution..
