Our telephone has been as dead as a door-nail since Saturday, but our ADSL2+ modem which is connected to the same wall socket and same Telstra copper wires has "worked" if you can call what passes for BigPond ADSL2+ service as working (frequently drops out).
So since we don't have a mobile phone (with a SIM that has any credit on it),since we never use a mobile phone and USUALLY have no need for one, I contacted Telstra online and made a online telephone fault report on Saturday. Email response was it would be fixed by Wednesday.
Wednesday came and went and we still have a telephone that is dead as a door nail and there's been no sign of a technician (we haven't left the house and no one has come, so they can't say they came and missed us).
It's is now Thursday and the telephone is still dead. GRRRR!!!!!!!
Anyone else having a similar problem with their telstra telephones (in the Newcastle/Lake Macquarie/Charlestown area) ?
Looking like I'll have to find a pay phone and call telstra on their 132200 and 132203 numbers and put a rocket up their collective arses - not as if that's going to achieve anything. Do pay phones still exist ???
