  @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.

  First optus, now telstra had a global outage, seems legit i guess, paves the way for a global network blackout if need, cause look how well that went. Chaos

  @Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup Get rid of the mcg, Adelaide oval and Optus. Not designed for football. Terrible to watch a game

  @footyindustryAU SBS know what their doing and I hope they never lose it again. They proved themselves the home of the world cup after Optus.

  I wonder why I have never combined my Telstra internet and Optus mobile phone. Today I have my answer.

  @OperationalInc1 at a very minimum you should need both Telstra *and* Optus to go down, no?

  @matt_barrie @van00sa And the Optus network went down right after Albanese visited Beijing in November 2023.

  @TonyShepherd4 As the shadow minister for emergency communications it is great she tested the system. It was supposed to switch to another network (e.g. Telstra to Optus) in case of an outage of one of them. That didn't occur and she found a fault there. I expect my elected parliamentarians to test the systems they have a portfolio of. By the way, as soon as Teltra asked her not to test it again, she stopped. Good try there, though, but again, you landed well short of common sense.

  @Kennedy00766502 Hi Kennedy, sorry to hear you have yet to receive an eSIM to activate your service. I can appreciate that this is not an ideal situation. Did you get an email with additional instructions for downloading your eSIM? Alternatively, have you tried logging in to your My Optus app and going to Account > SIM Management > Activate eSIM and follow the prompts. If the above doesn't seem to work, feel free to send through a DM, so we can confirm a few more details and see what the next best steps are. -Athan
