  @Telstra This tweet brought to you by me piggy backing off my Optus phones fully functional mobile network data. Eftpos machines are unable to do this. So any work around has to come from Telstra or I have to get the bank to change to Optus.

  Good. It took me 20 minutes to cancel my @Optus 5G for no reason other than they want to make it difficult

  @OneNewsAu optus announced the partnership with starlink on July 12 2023 and telstra announced it on July 3rd 2023, Telstra starlink messaging started June 3 2025 optus? well nothing. "covers blackspots telstra never will" that might make sense if telstra also didn't get starlink messaging

  @Cjsavage696969 @KatieGrace2022 Optus could not cancel the services i wanted to cancel for 2 and half years but could send me a letter telling me small plan goes up by $9 this month. I disconnected 2 services that day due to inept staff and liers. Never composated either!.

  What an absolute joke from Telstra today. Changed companies to them from Optus over their outage a few years ago and it still happens. Had no connection all morning.

  @optus_support Hey Optus support I am in a big pickle in France and I have my phone account w u. My phone had a swim and has been dead for a week. Tech in Nice says will never restart. I have a new phone and I need to reactivate my Optus account to upload my Samsung and Google data. But yoh can't connect to a support person in Aust unless u register on the app which demands a phone text to verify!!!! Aghhhhh. I only have internet and no access to Whats App or any of the accounts. Can someone DM to help please

  If you only have one SIM it sucks to be you. I have 4. Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and a French SIM from Free. So I’m never without service.

  With Optus - national outage, price hikes ($45-60 monthly) and spotty, unexplained 4G and 5G city coverage. Decide to jump to Telstra. With Telstra - national outage... Yep.

  @bdosi72 What he stood up for can’t be argued but I’m glad the WA government is removing that statue of him at Optus that should of never been put up in the first place. He never played for either club and I hope they replace it with the great Dennis Cometti
