  @saline Hi Samela, so that we are on the same page, you have an Optus service and your service is getting cut off at night, especially when you call your colleague Brenda? If you are an Optus customer having issues with your service then please send us a direct message with more details of the fault so that we can assist you further - Kartik

  @aravint_2107 Yes for WOR optus is the ideal pitch It will hide his weakness of giving width and elevate his strength Only ground where giving width is not a problem His test will be the other grounds

  The fact that the emergency AusAlert didn’t reach Optus customers who had no Optus coverage, despite Telstra towers being available, is absurd. An emergency warning system should use any available network to deliver life-saving alerts—not fail because your own carrier is down. In a disaster, network loyalty shouldn’t determine who gets warned. This needs to be fixed before the next emergency.

  @jnj_pro Hey, J. Customers who log in using email & password also need to perform Multi-factor authentication (MFA). We recommend enabling biometrics in the My Optus App for a faster and secure login, where no extra codes are required. From the 1st of Jan 2026, no conversation history will be stored/available in the My Optus app or My Account online. We understand that this change is a pain point for you, and we've flagged this as feedback for the relevant teams to review. - Dillon

  Origin Energy just had 900,000 customers' data breached, joining Optus, Medibank, Qantas and DP World. We treat each as a one-off. A pattern this long stops being bad luck and starts being the cost of collecting data you can't protect. #CyberSecurity #DataBreach

  It's not possible for that to happen. I think not quite as bad as at Optus, both require a full clearing of the decks across the whole club. This isn't a rebuild in culture which is clearly what's required. It's just collecting players & not making them gel

  @Optus It is fine you don't store conversation only when the problem is solved. Otherwise it causes huge inconvenience and waste of time. Sometimes I lost history right after log in back again. How long do you actually keep it before you delete?
