  @Kate3015 I wonder if when he rushed up to Singapore about fuel if he said anything about what he was going to do to Optus? They will react the Singapore Govt. in 1993 my company began building the Optus Network, I dealt with the team in Singapore, trust me they will payback.

  @shadowfan198 Simply use VPN. Aus service providers have to keep logs of all your metadata, one day that is all going to leak (most likely Optus) and go on public record forever.

  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

  @FTank Ok . I'm with Optus, but it's Amysim.. you reckon that might be the problem? I'll switch it to Optus if it means I can keep using it.

  @Rusken__ @Teh_Jkr @Optus Prepaid is just as bad! The cheapest prepaid sim on Belong is now $34, there are no $10 p/m plans anymore.

  @Teh_Jkr @Optus I’m paying triple and I hardly use any data. I complained until I got a bill reduction but next week it will be bye bye Optus for me, despite being a customer for decades👋

  @Optus @Teh_Jkr Don’t be loyal anymore. You get nothing for being loyal, swap providers every chance you get. They all treat new customers way better than anyone long term. You could ring them and tell them you’re leaving but that’s a lot of effort that they don’t deserve.

  @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.
