  Update 5. Annnddd we're done. "Glad we've been able to help you. This case is now resolved" So, if you are hearing impaired you are not welcome at Optus ... they will only help you if you can speak on the phone. Disgraceful in this day and age @Optus. @Vodafone, here I come!

  @YoiksAndAway @Optus @Telstra Absolutely. Management that place personal greed above service should not be in service industries, and those who endanger lives for personal gain should not be at liberty.

  @7NewsBrisbane Why doesn’t 000 have an alternative number as a backup run by? Maybe Optus or Tpg or Vodafone? How does a company or a business run with just one solution? 000 is incompetent.

  First optus, now telstra had a global outage, seems legit i guess, paves the way for a global network blackout if need, cause look how well that went. Chaos

  @optus_support Hey Optus support I am in a big pickle in France and I have my phone account w u. My phone had a swim and has been dead for a week. Tech in Nice says will never restart. I have a new phone and I need to reactivate my Optus account to upload my Samsung and Google data. But yoh can't connect to a support person in Aust unless u register on the app which demands a phone text to verify!!!! Aghhhhh. I only have internet and no access to Whats App or any of the accounts. Can someone DM to help please

  Update 2: Helped to log into messaging (good). Now I discover the complaint is filed under 'a credit default' - wtf! Called to review plan and get new phone. I'm back to the person that said 'no' this morning. Would be funny if it wasn't so utterly infuriating...@Optus

  @Kate3015 Remember 18 Sept 2025 when Optus had a 000 outage because no one though to make some test calls to ensure the service was working after an upgrade? Doing a test is basic common sense.

  @Woodygocats59 @TonyShepherd4 Didn't happen with the Optus outage. 000 was unavailable for hours and nobody including Optus seemed to know it was still unavailable. Learn from pervious failures champ. FFS, what plane was the communications minister on this time?

  @GenVavancee Given the time the outage happened it probably was some form of maintenance and a routing error happened. They happen all the time but much like Optus this was a big one.
