  @hakluke About 20 years ago I was with Optus, and back then if you were late paying your bill Optus would disconnect your SIM so you couldn't even receive calls. To get it connected again you'd have to ring Optus and they'd tell you it would be back on within 4 hours. That never happened, so you'd have to ring them over and over again until it eventually got done. After wiaitng for over a week for my phone to be put back on and again being told it would be back on within 4 hours, I said "no, I'll wait on the phone with you until it's done. He then passed me to another team who enabled my SIM again while I was talking to him. Anyway, that night I noticed that when my Dad who has a private number rang me, it showed his phone number with a hash tag before and after the number. This happened with every private number and I realised that when my SIM was turned back on, something went wrong and I was able to see private numbers. It was the greatest thing ever! I would get telemarketers all the time who would abuse me when I'd tell them to stop ringing me, but now I had their number to call back. You should have heard how shocked the first one was when I rang him. I kept ringing him and he begged me to stop and kept asking "How did you get this number? I don't even know this number". That ended when that phone was stolen 2 years later, but it was great while it lasted. I've since had Optus tech employees in our pubs and ask them if they can do it, and they tell me that it's impossible, but I know it's not.

  @TaniaLe89811601 @realRick_AUS @SenstiveHearts I'm near the airport, very strong winds but a few planes still taking off. Wondering if they will cancel the Eagles game at Optus?

  @frokfrdk don't forget Telstra/TPG/Optus might just block it from the network for no reason either... expensive *** paper weight

  Optus privacy breach hits 51k White Pages cases; architecture takeaway: enforce zero-trust, data minimisation, and robust access controls to reduce blast radius. Align incident response with ACSC guidance and SOCI Act obligations. #auscyber

  In 3 weeks, Freo play StK at Optus. During that time, I hope I can forget that the Blues had a red hot sniff on the road against the Dockers while the Saints stomped on their dead carcass in front of the Blues home crowd. One year ago today, 94-33. Never forget that one.

  @pelli_69 @Optus @Telstra Maybe try Superloop. I was with Tesltra for 20+ years, and switched to Superloop. cheaper for higher speeds and I’ve had no issues with them for a the year since I switched.

  Hutchy reckons Freo is a bigger club than C'wood at the moment. Freo are playing great footy & deserve to be flag favourites. However, even if Optus Stadium had a similar capacity to the MCG, I doubt they would be attracting crowds of 80,000 plus on a regular basis. Financially, the pies are all over them. I would also argue that WCE are the No.1 WA team by a stretch (4 flags, tainted or otherwise) despite 4-5 poor years.

  @Kamoreyes Hi Javier - We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. It’s certainly not good to hear that you are experiencing issues with your brand-new phone. In many cases, problems like this can be related to software glitches, and a factory reset may help resolve the issue. If the problem persists after the reset, we would recommend visiting your nearest Optus store so that the team can inspect the handset for you. We understand it may take some time to visit a store, but this is often the quickest way to have your concern addressed and resolved. Aman

  @TeamYouTube I contacted Optus team. They said the issue is at YouTube end. YouTube support need to refresh the sync for me. Please help. I have been paying for my optus subhub services since October 2025 and haven't been able to use youtube premium because it shows inactive on YouTube app.
