    @Optus @RunnerSA18 @Kate_McClymont So so sad that Gladys couldn’t come thru with Peter Dutton’s request that Australians should pay for OPTUS’s stuff-up! Why would Optus have signed up a ex-premier with bad judgement?

  • j2simpso James Simpson 5x💉 (@j2simpso) reported

    @domknight @Optus We shouldn't need to confirm identity for something basic like telecoms. Why does identity need to be confirmed when taking out a prepaid service when you aren't using any credit facility?

  • GerardineTweets Gerardine Rudolphy (@GerardineTweets) reported

    After some unbelievably bizarre and infuriating interactions with the @Optus bot and various agents over the lady 4 days, I was connected to Hamilton who knows the 101 of how to treat an upset customer... 1/2

  • SpookyGoast Sp00ky Gh0st (@SpookyGoast) reported

    @Optus Why would you sign up to Optus honestly. Even before this amateur data breach they had the worst customer service and inferior reception. 🚨🚨DO NOT SIGN UP WITH OPTUS🚨🚨

  • mused_7 Amused_peillon65 (@mused_7) reported

    @mariewalsh18 Yes those dics. So pissed off, Only with them two friggin months. Optus, "We are sorry but no photo went just your number. whf.'I said so whats the diff, they can open a new licence with all other Id and their own pic. No, that can't happen. had to say bye before I lost me ****

  • samr6003 SamR 🌸 (@samr6003) reported

    @deweycocks1 @3AWNeilMitchell So you propose all those innocent people who’ve had their IDs stolen through no fault of their own just suck it up because it’s an Optus problem ?

  • DeadlineDavis Davis Harrigan (Digi) 🏏 (@DeadlineDavis) reported

    @erinbsomerville Hey Erin - The 3 major supporting carriers - Optus, Telstra, Voda - AFAIK, only allow use on contracts. I think number or service can be separate but still requires a contract over pre-paid. Seen a few activation issues in that kind. Unfortunately not sure of independent options.

    @allamac1 @RossFloate I would never trust MHR? And to learn that our Optus records have been kept for over a decade at least, is shocking. As ex-customers, we should have "the right to be forgotten" and info be deleted at our request like it is in the European Union.

  • RedRidinHood_EL RedRidinHood (@RedRidinHood_EL) reported

    @Optus you overcharged me again, or has the hacker messed with billing? I'm overseas and can't get on to your pathetic subhub because you have geoblock. You also changed me to a different plan without my permission. Can someone help don't refer me to the app chat or calling.

    @VickiPlatt5 I'm guessing that the governments will pass the cost on to Optus, but it needs immediate action and the governments can just authorise the government departments to issue the docs without charge now, rather than wait for Optus to sort itself out.
