    @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.

  • K1rr1ly Kirrily Todhunter 💉💉😷🌱⚖️☀️🤔🔬📚💃 (@K1rr1ly) reported

    So I ported my number overnight to a new provider with unlimited data, only to discover @Optus Network Locked my @oppo phone despite my having bought it outright last year. I'm cut off! Thank goodness for free WIFI & Telstra Payphones. I thought the TIO stopped network locking?!

    @Optus my internet is hard **** help me!

  • MatterOfStats Tony Corke (@MatterOfStats) reported

    @Optus Thanks, but why is it the default view then? Is that the view that your customer testing showed best conveyed the actual usage or, instead, was it more often misunderstood and reduced future usage? Genuinely curious

    @MatterOfStats Hey there, you can have this reverted back to what it originally showed prior to this change. Head over to the My Optus App > Service > Extra > Customer Dashboard and click the preferred method of viewing - Steven

  • mat_3rd Mathius of Gaff (@mat_3rd) reported

    @krunchymoses @Optus Yep just terrible. Wouldn’t recommend at all. Nice glossy adverts promising the exact opposite of what actually deliver.

  • jd_koi jd 🇦🇺 (@jd_koi) reported

    @optus it would be great if your service indicator would have an estimated time for restoration of NBN service to a searchable address. I realise there are wide scale outages however the uncertainty about service restoration does not help 1/2.

  • RachelRSanki Rachel Sanki (@RachelRSanki) reported

    @Optus thank you once again for stuffing up my account…. After Sherill (your Customer Resolutions Executive) put in writing to me over a month ago about a big credit on my account, my service was disconnected on Monday for an “overdue bill” even though I was told I had OVER $300
