  • Oli_gal Oli Gallagher (@Oli_gal) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @hughwizzy So so daft all that pricing. Here you can get every single PL & UCL game for either $100 (£50) a year or free if you’re with Optus phone network

  • OneEyedWriter63 Brett Hatchman (@OneEyedWriter63) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    A 'Heads Up' for @Telstra. Just got a call from a lady who said they worked for you wanting to reset my password for my internet as she reckons it's currently in public mode. Only problem is I'm with @Optus. She said she already new my password & when I asked her to repeat it 1/2

  • FiFeeney Fi (@FiFeeney) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus I purchased a 5GB data Add On and by the end of the day it said I was down to 500MB, but when I looked deeper it recorded no usage. Please help, where’s my data and money going?!

  • cgfmrf maria russo-fama (@cgfmrf) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus @Optus I have sent yet another DM and waiting on a response. We are still without service. Please respond ASAP

  • AdamNotMadam69 Adam! (@AdamNotMadam69) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @backupbear Vodafone charge $5/GB now if you happen to be overseas or on an ancient plan. Both Telstra and Voda just slow you down if you download too much. It’s only Optus that charges $10/GB now

  • Burgo0806 Courtney (@Burgo0806) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hi @Telstra I just went into one of your store as I want to port across 2 mobiles and home internet across from Optus. Much to my surprise, the customer service rep told me because I’m a new customer I can’t port across 2 phones. Is this accurate 😳

  • MickyG72 Mike Gleeson (@MickyG72) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Helias09 Had enough. Optus mini match from now on. #Garbage #MUFC

  • AshleyUbrihien Ashley Ubrihien (@AshleyUbrihien) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus I recently order a new NBN and someone at Optus changed my first name to my middle name without even asking. Now your staff are telling me I need to go to an Optus store to update something I never asked to change. How is this possible?

  • BeauGiles Beau 😷 (@BeauGiles) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @notsomadboy @FantaRising Leases are gone now for Optus/Telstra/Vodafone - all plans are month to month and you pick a phone to pay off over 12/24/36 months (usually just the retail price split) - move plans up/down each month - or just bail at any time and just have remaining phone payments to pay.

  • vanwaitsy Angela #football. Bloody hell!!!♥️ (@vanwaitsy) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    ******* dead Tim Sherwood is going bat **** crazy on Optus Sport. He's so angry with us, saying pretty much Ole should go in there and slaughter them. Is Timmy actually a United fan?

  • amitchhabra84 amit kumar (@amitchhabra84) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So disappointed @Optus for only offering just black pixel 5 not the green one 😠😠.... I was waiting for last 4 months... @madebygoogle .. Anyways better move to different service provider

  • JakePorritt Payln Konga (@JakePorritt) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @mgn87 Get a VPN and I’ll shoot you my Optus Sports login

  • MsSaffaa MS SΛFFΛΛ صفاء (@MsSaffaa) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @tomascl @Optus Innerwest. I was told I will have interruptions in my area until mid December. It's frustrating. I never signed up for Optus anyway. Virgin mobil became Optus and since then my internet and phone reception have't been the same. It's time to find a new provider.

  • MichaelSchulz MichaelSchulz (@MichaelSchulz) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @optus business down?? Phone message says major outage in Sydney.

  • tomarild82 mariah carey’d me through (@tomarild82) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Okay. I will, but based on the past three years this is what will happen: Information provided. Check completed. ‘There’s no issues in your area- maybe there’s a lot of people on the system in your area’. No resolution.

  • Hugh_96 Hugh_96 (@Hugh_96) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Quade, its fine, was just letting you know, it happens fortnightly, it was fine all day today, then tonight slows down, you cant resolve it, so just thought it maybe of value to let you know. No need to reply. Thanks.

  • vanwaitsy Angela..no more rinse and repeat PLEASE 🇾🇪♥️ (@vanwaitsy) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @williammcf49 @knaggsy097 That sounds stressful. I just log into Optus on my computer then HDMI it to the tv. It's just the computer is ****. I've tried using the TV cast option but that's **** too

  • VelitesNelson velites (@VelitesNelson) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus after repeated phone calls, talking with many of the customer service team members, the funds that have been debited out of my mother's account after December 2019 when she had cancelled her service with @Optus. In which your team has admittedly agreed to the mistake (ctd)

  • OneEyedWriter63 Brett Hatchman (@OneEyedWriter63) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    to me over the phone she hung up. The number she called from was a Sydney number, but she sounded like she was at an overseas call centre. She may have been on the up & up, but why hang up? If it's a scam I thought you @Telstra & @Optus should know about it. Brett.

    @Yos1wt @RavenZech2 @auspost It’s not a shift worker thing. I have mine turned off for this very reason. Optus alerted me to a usage issue but i only just saw the text that came through after midnight. And then there are Zuckerbook Messenger users and SMS senders from other time zones etc

  • DiplockColin colin diplock (@DiplockColin) reported

    Optus has a problem as do its users. Why not step back in time and just use a phone as a commutating tool, as was its founders intention?

  • TimboRoberts Tim Roberts (@TimboRoberts) reported

    I think it's within my right to ask why that is, and what compensation Optus customers will have access to, because that violates the contract we signed with you as a Telco. If your response is inadequate like it has been recently, I'd be happy lodging a complaint with @OAICgov.

  • djmarkhamact David Markham (@djmarkhamact) reported

    @R_Chirgwin It’s reality though, isn’t it? If, as already shown, Optus can’t protect us poor customers, we’ve got to do what we can.

  • DamagedByDan DamagedByDan (@DamagedByDan) reported

    @ClareONeilMP I am an optus customer and my family and whole business needs Optus for both telephone & Data. When are you going to tell us what we need to do to protect ourselves? Help!

  • sirgunner1886 Jai 🇮🇳🇦🇺 (@sirgunner1886) reported

    @andrew_the_pom @Optus Yeah, there's no point here. We 100% disagree on how this goes ahead, because large companies individually contacting each customer would definitely create hysteria. Also, it was on ABC news as a report and others too. It's not buried. 100% backing it.

  • AsiOfella ASIOfella (@AsiOfella) reported

    @Optus @IsaacsonMarie We are going to sue the crap out of you

  • davebrooker322 Disinformation DropBear (@davebrooker322) reported

    Sucks to be with OPTUS right now......the beginning? 🤔

  • KmanKrautzman Kman Krautzman (@KmanKrautzman) reported

    @Optus @RunnerSA18 If my data was stolen, it is already too late to "mitigate" potential security and fraud issues for me. Your lack of fixing a very basic security API issue will result in a massive CLASS ACTION suit. 24hours later and not a single notification from OPTUS about this. But iPHONE14

  • zachonthatrack ♡zachary♡ (@zachonthatrack) reported

    i feel so bad for people who use optus

  • MauAmala Amala Mau (@MauAmala) reported

    @danybash @Optus @RunnerSA18 according to their press release they have temporarily stopping SIM Swaps & Replacements, as well as Change of Ownership in our online, phone and messaging support teams. you have to go in store with your ID to get these changes done
