  • BoultR 💧RichardB ActiveCitizen (@BoultR) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @geoff_wales Was with Amaysim. Good service, great price But, Optus transmission just doesn't work in my new apartment! So had to say goodbye to Amaysim, reluctantly.

  • vijayarumugam Vijay Arumugam (@vijayarumugam) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @BigKev67 @vipinbjain Interestingly, Rose Bowl, Bellerive and WACA / Optus are the three venues with poor Test crowds, although Gabba has had some poor crowds of late as well. #savsInd #INDvsSA

  • markc Mark Cohen (@markc) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus response to six hours with no service after four calls to various customer service no’s, two store visits and multiple emails… eh, try again tomorrow

  • nimzmir Nimz (@nimzmir) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Shit Optus ain’t sent my phone. You already KNOW I’m calling up and not paying for the phone portion of my bill at the end of my month if it ain’t here by then

  • paloappie Chelsea Feltham (@paloappie) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    After two weeks of no internet with @Optus due to “back end issues” with my relocation, I was told it could be a further 21 days to get connected. I cancelled my service. 30 mins after submitting the form on the @Aussie_BB website, my NBN was connected. Customer service folks!

  • NickBurrough Nick Burrough (@NickBurrough) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra I raised a complaint on Telstra Website. I don’t need someone to tell me to switch on and off a service I don’t have! I moved to Optus last week. I just need the wire removed.

  • SarahHurc Sarah Hurcombe (@SarahHurc) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Terrible mistake from @Optus - they made us @TwoTalesCafe switch to NBN last week and changed our number without telling us and we’ve only just found out - really crappy stuff for a long weekend when people will call us to find out if we’re open!!!! Sort it out @Optus

  • eastuto Eugene of Astuto 🤔 (@eastuto) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So how's this for next level bad customer service. @Optus sends a warning notice that services will be restricted of we don't pay $270. Never seen the account number. Wife was on phone every day last week. They couldn't say what it related to. Couldnt provide copy of a bill.

  • fictillius Evan (@fictillius) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @cenaniangzebi @Optus @Mondyboy The full signal but no connectivity is an iOS 13 bug. The only fix I’ve found is to reboot the phone.

  • MikePearsall93 Mike Pearsall (@MikePearsall93) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @juzzyjuuice @Optus As bad as Optus is I reckon they're the best of a horrible bunch. Just tried a different co for internet and went crawling back to them cause they were that shite.

  • chillnesses KR Dev 🇦🇺 (@chillnesses) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus fix ur shitty mobile network it never works. By far the worst carrier in Australia

  • maxymedia Scott Maxworthy (@maxymedia) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Come on @Optus our broadband has been down now for over three hours!!! 🤯

  • Slacko_Mitch Mitchell Vladamotte (@Slacko_Mitch) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra I’ve already moved on. I left because you wouldn’t let me upgrade my phone a month early (I was a Telstra customer since I had my “hiptop” maybe 10yrs). So I saw out my contract and moved to Optus. They were just as good and cheaper. Im now on prepaid and it’s even cheaper again.

  • clivedickens Clive Dickens (@clivedickens) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @EFTM @trevorlong Hi @trevorlong @optus launched eSIM support for compatible @Apple iPhones and Watches in April 2019. #keepup :)

  • Slacko_Mitch Mitchell Vladamotte (@Slacko_Mitch) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @MissCBella @Telstra That’s shit service! I wish I was surprised though. I was just looking at Optus plans. They have free phone upgrades after 12 months. I’d switch if you could. Optus coverage where I live is just as good.

  • nimzmir Nimz (@nimzmir) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Shit Optus ain’t sent my phone. You already KNOW I’m calling up and not paying for my the phone portion of my bill at the end of my month if it ain’t here by then

  • eastuto Eugene of Astuto 🤔 (@eastuto) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    They even said that they had the wrong birth date on the system for that account. Now today internet slows down to Alphalink level dial up speed. 👋👋👋 Well done @Optus on making 20 yr long customers feel special.

  • fictillius Evan (@fictillius) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @cenaniangzebi @Optus @Mondyboy This happened to me on Vodafone during beta testing. On iOS 12 I had so much trouble with Telstra’s network going deaf I moved to Vodafone and it has been fine apart from some beta issues.

  • maxymedia Scott Maxworthy (@maxymedia) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Hi, was back an hour or so after post but has been on & off over the last few days. Whatever your techs are doing is very frustrating for us poor customers.

  • SarahHurc Sarah Hurcombe (@SarahHurc) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Honestly @Optus we have had the worst customer experience @TwoTalesCafe with you the last few weeks + particularly the last few days - your failure to take responsibility + resolve this has been shocking to experience. It’s always been someone else’s fault within the organisation

  • IanB25 Ian B2 (@IanB25) reported

    @timburrowes I am an affected Optus customer but I am really interested in what material difference the suggestions from the communications experts would have made? This belief that you can media manage your way out of a crisis has to stop.

  • JasonCadee5 Jason Cadee (@JasonCadee5) reported

    @PeterHooley12 @Optus @OptusSport How’s on top of that my internet has been in and out for 6 week. No change to my bill or anything other then a “sorry” for the outage.

  • Fanatic4futball Skarezo Snr (@Fanatic4futball) reported

    @AmyRemeikis That's because they've leaked all their customer's records, everything they ever collected. They never removed old customer records. Optus are lying to us!

  • MunroMRM MRMunro (@MunroMRM) reported

    @Optus Just spent >4hrs waiting for chat on My Account to could cancel my service. 2 days left of billing cycle. Usage data will show I'm not using service after 30/09/22. I'm no longer in contact as of 2021. Just a heads up, not paying for a service I'm not using and don't want.

  • BelindaJoy79 Bea, maker of ruckus 🏳️‍🌈✝️ (@BelindaJoy79) reported

    Hey @Optus I have an idea. How about you make the next issue of our bills = $0. That will help make up for the cost of us needing to replace everything!

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    maybe @optus #databreach will drive away past customers and customers alike rather than attract them back or make them want to stay customer longer

  • _bluejet_ bluejet (@_bluejet_) reported

    @VictorDominello I doubt optus can inform everyone of the leak. Since some of the emails in the leaks are either invalid or optus own emails that can only be accessed if you were a customer. Not for the previous customers. Why not just follow suit like the other states? Free replacements

  • corrie_eats Corrie (@corrie_eats) reported

    @TIFFINbitesized Same. But we signed up as Optus customers in probably 2010, a long time ago. Have changed both drivers license and passport in the meantime. I feel I am not as concerned. I usually show only drivers license and never passport for POI anyway.

  • trentontheradio Trent (@trentontheradio) reported

    @cindyn @Optus As far as I can tell only emails. Those providers who are MVNOs on the Optus network who wanted to confirm they were not impacted apparently txt customers to inform them however.

  • gummatt Matt (@gummatt) reported

    @domknight @Optus A mobile phone company should have no need to know who the customer is.
