  @sueytweets @lainie_york I might pop in to Optus to get a new one but it’s not on the top of my to do list. Apple purposely do this when a contract is finished slow the phone down and battery too.

  @PaulDonGipps The WAFL eagles just played this afternoon on a fairly open oval just down the road from Optus.

  The telecommunications industry needs a closer look by the Australian ombudsman or whoever regulates fees being taken for service not provided. Telcos with phone only service centres overseas are in the perfect position to rip people off under the banner of Optus/Telstra.

  @AndyG_2086 @ejburke_ At least we wouldnt have to remove seats like the US as some the stadia are not wide enough to fit the FIFA standard width. It dint seem to be a problem at Olympiastadion (Berlin) to watch on an Oval stadium. Im sure MCG/Optus{perth} and adalaide Oval would be fine.

  @PeteUK7 @virginmedia When my husband died @Optus (Australian telco) harassed me for about two years about his bill and phone. Years. Told them over and over and over that he was dead. It was awful.

  @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.

  @enz2g @1WeakGuttedDog Your gaslighting is terrible. I’ve not seen a single complaint about Boost. The list is endless for Vodaphone and Optus. Hell, Optus is in the news today for another outage. As the saying goes, it seems you will die on the hill than admit you are wrong.
