  @Optus If you could launch a Samsung TV app I’d never bring up the first 2 years again. Pinky promise.

  @Optus Been over an hour now… Great to see how a 20+ year customer is treated. At this rate I may as well just save my time and go with another provider.

  Hey @Optus @optus_help I've been told I need to come here to get help. No mobile data, internet, can't send or receive mms texts. 4 hours 3 Optus humans couldn't help Friday night. They lodged a case. Ask a few more questions. Day 5 no resolution yet. No service is not cool

  @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

  Earlier today, some Optus customers may have experienced intermittent issues with their mobile services. This has now been resolved, and services are operating as expected. We thank you for your patience and apologise for any disruption caused.

  I am too lazy to proof read and edit the below from grok, we had a chat in the car and below is the direct output for a post from grok, 85% my intent but could use some polish… (it gave me 3x image prompts, images from grok attached are also not proofed.) - enjoy: Why Starlink Roam Falls Flat in Australia (And How to Fix It) Honest opinion: Starlink Roam is brilliant on paper—$80 a month for 100GB priority data, perfect for caravans, motorhomes, or pros working on the go in the outback. But in reality? It’s poop for mobile use. Australia’s endless trees, dense bushland, and tunnels (think Bruce Highway or any regional drive) block the line-of-sight to satellites constantly. You’re crawling along at zero bars half the time, burning data elsewhere or offline entirely. Great for static campsites, useless in motion. The glaring hardware oversight: No LTE/cellular failover. Starlink Mini (or next-gen) should’ve shipped with an eSIM slot for Australian carriers like Telstra or Optus. When sats fail, auto-switch to 4G/5G local network as a hotspot—seamless, like your phone. Caveat: ACMA spectrum rules (IMT bands for terrestrial mobile) might need carrier partnerships, but it’s doable—Telstra/Optus already partner with Starlink for direct-to-device sat-to-phone using those bands. NBN fixed-wireless modems do exactly this: SIM failover when fibre/cable drops, approved under existing regs. If it’s green for NBN, it should be for Starlink Roam. Pricing fix for AU market: Base $19 add-on for up to 10% cellular failover (10GB on the $80 plan), covering Starlink’s wholesale data costs. Double to $38 for 100% cellular option if you’re in eternal tree hell. Keeps it affordable, competitive with eSIM hotspots, and actually usable. Starlink, take notes—Gen3 Mini or beyond, make it hybrid. Aussie travellers deserve better. What do you reckon? Roll it out!
