  @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS That's the iOS 26.5 update adding end-to-end encrypted RCS (beta) support on Apple's side. In Australia it still requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone — they're not live yet. Rollout still looking like mid-to-late 2026. Toggle should appear in Messages once your carrier enables it.

  @AlboMP I paid Optus ~$40 every month for a full year, and now I couldn’t able to cancel my SIM service. It’s incredibly frustrating and unnecessarily difficult. Services should make it easy to cancel if you’re not happy with them - not trap customers like this. Optus, sort this out! 💸😤

  Brayshaw: I know his form has been dodgy, but he is 8/L9 over this vs WCE, averaging 29.4. In 25 & 26, he is also over in 10/16 games at Optus for 28.3. Rarely lets me down so backing him again here in the #AFLCappersLeague. Line moved overnight. I hope that doesn’t hurt me!

  @Feintglow @robb_j_m Or just change providers that actually want to provide a proper service and want happy customers. Rather than Optus, Telstra etc that don't care and know people aren't smart enough to change

  It would now take full two days to send a message to Voyager 1 and receive a reply. Still better than Optus’ mobile network.

  Why is the turf at Optus so bad? #AFL #AFLFreoHawks #foreverfreo

  @FPLBeggzySC @Scobey__ @j1trey Oh yeah for sure, I would never suggest a player could take Dale's roller-coaster spot from him. Just that Jordy can sometimes go missing after a quarter or two, but more often than not he delivers. Also goes bananas at Optus, and has 9 more games there this year.

  @SulloReport Moving it from Brisbane would kill it. There’s **** all around Optus stadium, Adelaide is boring, Sydney won’t turn up. The only option is Brisbane and Suncorp. Never been but can only imagine the buzz Caxton street has over the weekend.

  @killermattk 4th q at Optus last night Saints fan "COME ON TOMMMM" Me (Freo) . . . YEAH COME ON TOMMMM. Saints fan - You don't have a player called Tom. Me - Yeah I know but there's 50k of us in here and it looks like you need some extra support. Saints fan *Gets up and Leaves*
