    @dasiztitan @Optus No service for Optus mobile devices in the Sutherland Shire area. Calls, Text and Data not working. All Optus devices are showing No Signal :(

  • Radiopej Dr Pej (@Radiopej) reported

    @rlebard I hate how incompetent these companies are, and the way they shift the onus onto the customer to fix. If @Telstra doesn't compensate you for the hours spent fixing it at your current wage, you should contact their national manager on LinkedIn. Worked for us with Optus.

    @Optus Why the F do you keep turning on missed call services on my phone? This is an on-going issue. The chatbot in the APP is **** also. Cannot get through to a person.

    @Soccersceneau Optus. The Football Belongs podcast demonstrates that they actually understand and care about the sport. The others are only after content to fill in gaps between sports they really support.

    “We don’t get on the ‘G or Marvel when we travel to Melbourne. I’m not the groundskeeper so I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think it’s much of an issue.” McGovern on Collingwood not training at Optus

    @Optus Currently it’s at 4G so it’s ok - it’s when it drops to 3G that COVID checkin becomes a problem- will contact you if it drops back again. I am a Security Officer for the NSW Government at Liverpool Hospital which is why I am mindful of COVID safety procedures
