Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / December 2007Telstra Lied Again - CDMA to NEXT-G Migration Special Offers
A couple of months back when Telstra had a 'special offer' of double your credit on your first recharge when migrating from CDMA to NEXT-G (maximum $40, what a joke lol), Telstra's PR spin doctor John Rolland wrote in a letter that this would be the very LAST special offer prior to 28 January 2008. The best on offer at the time was LG TU500 for $249. Surprise, surprise - Telstra are now flogging the Samsung A411 through Australia Post retail outlets for $199 with a $40 cashback, making an effective price of $159 (cashback via http://www.australiapostpromotions.com.au). I know the Telstra apologists will claim that Australia Post are doing this, but the reality is that they must source these prepaid packages through Telstra/Brightstar, and hence Telstra are in fact giving another better special offer than the crap they offered previously. I would encourage anybody who took the bait previosuly to complain to Telstra (and escalate via TIO if necessary) and seek a refund.

He's a line manager. Funny how almost every letter that comes from Telstra is signed by him. He is a spin doctor. Line managers don't generally write to the public. IOf he is a line manager then he is simply signing the spin doctor letters SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com >> "thegoons" <thegoons@bigpond.com> said: >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > is a spin doctor.

I would think that everyone reading this newsgroup *except you* would know what a line manager is. Let me try to explain in words that you can understand. When you go to CentreLink for your payment, you talk to a clerk. That person has a boss. That boss has a boss. And so on up the line. Those people are what's called 'line managers'.

The first impression was "pfft, wadda w.nker", and it doesn't get any better, even after many years of the same tired old repeated phrases. > Some terminal fuckwit that is actually so stupid that its about > the last fool in the country to use 1 way satellite, claiming to be [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > No surprise that it got the bums rush, completely out of town.
