  @eevblog @Optus customer support is absolutely awful. I've made a complaint and that went nowhere (predictably) Spent over an hour yesterday on a basic query via chat. Will be looking to switch when convenient

  @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.

  @Optus Was wondering how long its going to be before I can make ph calls, receive texts and do internet banking with mobile, as postcode 3139 seems to have no service due to works?
