Neobjašnjivi propušteni pozivi i obavijesti o porukama na govorniku zbunjuju korisnike tvrtke Telstra

Telstra attributed a wave of phantom missed call and voicemail alerts to a technical malfunction in its MessageBank service, resolving the incident shortly after it began on Wednesday evening. Thousands of mobile users across Australia reported receiving unexpected notifications, prompting widespread confusion on social media platforms. A company spokesperson confirmed that the issue stemmed from internal systems rather than external interference or hacking. The carrier stated that the fault had been repaired and that standard voice, data, and emergency calling services remained unaffected during the disruption. Customers flooded digital channels with accounts of bizarre communication errors. One user posted on Reddit, noting that the alerts originated from contacts with whom they had not interacted for days, ruling out simple oversight as a cause. On Facebook, another individual described receiving a missed call notification from her daughter while the girl stood directly beside her. Her husband subsequently informed her that he had received two similar alerts from her within three minutes. The volume of complaints was substantial, with Telstra’s official Facebook page accumulating over 3,000 comments from bewildered subscribers. Specific anecdotes highlighted the disorienting nature of the glitch. LisaMaree Collier reported receiving a missed call alert on her work device from her personal mobile, which was secured in her car’s cupholder while she listened to an audiobook via Bluetooth. She noted that no corresponding entry appeared in her personal phone’s call log, despite having not dialed herself in months. Steven Alexandrou shared that his father, who was physically present, triggered a call notification on his screen. Other users expressed frustration regarding professional repercussions. Simone Lou suggested the error explained why her supervisor had called her after hours under the mistaken belief that she had reached out. Phil Richards joked that he had assumed he had suddenly become extremely popular due to the influx of messages. Telstra addressed the situation through a formal statement released late Wednesday. The spokesperson acknowledged the problem with the MessageBank system, explaining that customers might observe multiple delayed notifications arriving simultaneously. Some of these messages dated back several days prior to the initial contact. The company apologized for the resulting confusion and clarified that the incident did not compromise Triple Zero emergency lines, general voice connectivity, or mobile data transmission. This episode follows a significant nationwide outage in July, which disrupted millions of connections, halted certain train services, and disabled electronic payment terminals in retail locations. At that time, the telecommunications giant cited a software defect as the root cause. Chief Executive Officer Vicki Brady pledged measures to prevent a recurrence of such large-scale failures. Telstra currently manages 26 million mobile services on its network. The recent glitch appears isolated to the voicemail infrastructure, distinct from the broader network issues experienced earlier in the year. The company indicated it was still investigating the specific technical causes behind the latest delay in notification delivery.
