    @binaryADD Wow makes me want to run down to the Optus shop and sign up NOT 😲

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @hairypoofta Hi there, I'm sorry you've had a poor experience trying to register for the My Optus app. If you've already registered with your email, to create a new account you will need to use a new email address. If you have further questions, please send us a DM. - Liam

    @NevNuance @GladysB Maybe she can ask the boy premier to step down. Apparently he just does what she wants. And she just does what Daryl wants. I hope Singtel/Optus realise that overcapitalising on their network in Wagga is not a good way forward...

  • Paulofg233 Paulo (@Paulofg233) reported

    @Optus , what is happening over there? My partner's number (which has been ported to a new provider last year) was activated on Optus' network by someone who got a brand new SIM from a store. This person temporarily received my partner's texts (including OTPs).

  • Paulofg233 Paulo (@Paulofg233) reported

    @Optus Support over the phone is hopeless and doesn't even understand what I'm trying to say. This is a serious breach as the phone number is used as 2FA everywhere. Can someone tell me what is going on @Optus ?

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @TheHarlander23 Hey Scotty, sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your My Optus App. If you haven't already, please try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. If problems continue, please send us a DM with a screenshot of any errors you are receiving. Thanks - Mary

  • IMuldoon Iman Muldoon (@IMuldoon) reported

    I am SO. DAMN. TIRED. of trying to connect to an @Optus assistant. I can literally feel my blood pressure rising.

  • colettem1983 Colette M 🥂 (@colettem1983) reported

    @Optus why do I keep getting emails from you when I never signed up and I don’t even live in Australia??? And I have clicked the link to say the email was sent in error and it didn’t work as I got another email again.

  • SKL_dogma SKL_Glare Into The Abyss (@SKL_dogma) reported

    @GladysB I cancelled my mobile phone service after months of trouble and false promises from Optus that it would be fixed. Do you have any relevant expertise in false promises? Why are you tweeting this bunkum?

    @GladysB No Optus Service in rural NSW. Bring back Public ownership of infrastructure.
