  Madness! Google will not let me comment because Microsoft forced me to buy a new computer. I don't have my old phone because Optus forced me to buy a new phone. My comment? RICH BASTARD'S POWER DEPENDS ON EVERYONE ELSE BEING POOR, BERNARD. They keep us poor and powerless!

  @optus_help @Optus I’m trying to give you more of my money for a eSIM, however your app is horrific. My other service is a eSIM on my iPad so I can’t get a text. So I change to email, fine but then I can’t enter the code. Seriously?? Do you not want my money??

  @Seriously2022 Hi Mick, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing problems with your Optus service. Could you kindly send us a private message with your full address, and I'll be able to look into this for you. - Robyn

  @accent_trace @ktdenise I think I had a minor mental glitch I did the calc using 24 months out of habbit, so yeah it’s more like only 500 a year cheaper, still hard to find an actual benefit to Optus/Telstra’s over priced plans. 10 years ago, you’d get an iPhone and service for $40 a month.

  @ThoughtVacancy @wayne_kag @AlboMP It is a problem and it bloody well exists!!! Ever tried cancelling Optus Sport, BigPond Broadband or Foxtel? Try listening to Optus's "give me the simple life" hold music for 2 hours.

  @nicko_316 You gotta feel sorry for the weagles fans. They keep rocking up in droves the last 3-4 years at Optus, but they never stay for the whole game. Think the club needs to refund their membership fees. Absolute daylight heist. No wonder they're the richest club in the land.

  @Col__22 No worries, Colin. We only have the Optus Device Checker link I provided above. If you were wanting to look at other Network Providers, you would have to do so via their own websites or through the AMTA website - Joel

  Now tweeting from my lab machine again with very basic Optus 5G internet. Will have to upload video and stuff from home, but otherwise I'm kinda functional again. No idea when NBN/Telstra will restore the connection, it's been 3 days already so I assume it's very bad. Today is Sunday and tomorrow is another public holiday.
