  • jaki_rogers Jaki Rogers (@jaki_rogers) reported

    @johnsy123aus @davidbewart Yes I signed up for an Optus mobile contract months ago for emergency reasons, I am 80. Then found out I couldnt get Optus in my region. Their suggestion, go outside and walk around, you might pick it up. Finally they agreed to cancel contract!

  • normal_ness Vanessa Smith (@normal_ness) reported

    @kellyexeter @PaulCunningham @gtvone Yep that's what happened to Ben's prepaid optus too - he never uses his phone, touches it once and it was empty. Swapped to amaysim and it's fine now

  • johnnymetalisin john metal (@johnnymetalisin) reported

    Foxtel. Explain why you can’t give me a box after this one broke after 15 years? 24 hours or F off. Netflix Stan and Kayo and Optus Sports is cheaper all together and the future. I’ll never you tomorrow for the last time

  • tree_crab_ Tom Crabtree (@tree_crab_) reported

    @Optus Thanks for the reply Quade. I’m a little confused because at the end of the billing cycle the data comes in for the next month so wouldn’t be an issue? Would automatically donate all except 1GB for emergencies satisfy the above?

  • mudaser Mudaser Yaqoob (@mudaser) reported

    @troyhunt I got a similar Message in Au (Optus). I honsetly thought it was a phishing attempt. I received it without signing in to my account and I did not see any activity on account sign in.

  • coughinstuff Unkle Cough Cough XY GT (C)HO (@coughinstuff) reported

    @OptusSport @suesmith8 @EeshFerguson Not only that, England’s biggest game at Wembley for years, and we get that stupid stats ****** in the commentary box. He is BORING AS HELL. Typical crap from Optus once again. Junk.

  • JPBRUSH Jason (@JPBRUSH) reported

    not sure Optus stadium will survive this weekend without its fix of 2-6 hours of booing, RIP

  • SofiaLuvsFun Sofia Sofun (@SofiaLuvsFun) reported

    @Optus @Optus please help @FatherBob with his device or service issues #HelpFatherBob

  • theFATchuckster Charles de Voil (@theFATchuckster) reported

    @FatherBob Hey @Telstra and @Optus - Fr Bob deserves all the help and gratitude the nation can muster up. Surely one of you has a store that can swing him a phone or tablet?

  • rafi010187 rafi (@rafi010187) reported

    @optus your network coverage is an embarrassment ! Am over this !

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @LiamTFitz Hey Liam, sorry to hear you may be having some issues with Optus Sport. Did you try force closing and reopening the app? If you're still needing a hand, please send us a PM with your Optus Sport login email and the device you're using. George

  • jacshel99 jss (@jacshel99) reported

    @Optus awful viewing experiences. Continually.

  • david_dalley 😷🚒💧🐀 any.day.of.the.week😒 David (@david_dalley) reported

    @selina2twt U are not expecting too much. I had an OPTUS outage 3 days ago. Optus booked NBN person to turn up between 1pm & 5pm yesterday. They NEVER appeared. Then after complaining to OPTUS was told they would chase up NBN & get back to me in 24 hrs. STILL WAITING.

  • EleanorB1998 Eleanor (@EleanorB1998) reported

    @oliviasscerri Same. I just want recognition of the fact that we won by 55 points against West Coast at Optus. That's never been done before by any team but somehow we go down the power ranking ladder. It makes no sense.

    @MickNeven Optus is free with a phone. Idiot.

  • 19kosy Kosy (@19kosy) reported

    @Optus $75 per month, is that right. My basic broadband has just gone up to $75. $10 per month increase for no improvement of service. Just a money grab. There is a reason all my other products have been transferred to other providers and broadband is soon to follow

  • occupy_now precursor (@occupy_now) reported

    I am now fully vaxxed. Took a lot longer this time as they said they have changed systems so had to go through all forms again. And I guess a lot more people due to current situation. Unfortunately, my phone reception still sucks. Thnx Optus.

  • SirBarkos Brett Barker (@SirBarkos) reported

    @Optus Pity your network isn’t this good. I live in Brisbane and I’m lucky to get 3G. Pathetic

  • ReverendDexter Dexter Davies (@ReverendDexter) reported

    @ChromeTyranno The handoff from SFExpress to the local carrier is really bad. On both my Optus Pexus and Eris it looked like the package had stalled at the receiving port, only to find them in my PO box a week later.
