Optus Issues Reports

  • PenelopePPop Reasonably Angry (@PenelopePPop) reported

    Dear @acccgovau, @Optus supermarket bought pre-paid sims come in a sleeve that mentions nothing about the sim only being 4G. It is not until you remove the sleeve & get to the inner packaging that you see it uses the 4g network. Is this deceptive as per the legislation?

    “The best data and targeting in the world will never compensate for crap creative. We’ve relied too much on precision media buying to do the hard lifting for us,” says @Optus customer acquisition and marketing director Angela Greenwood. #AdNewsLIVE

    i dont want to pay optus until I can check the records, they have only offered to email me one bill. That is completely insane! I have been a loyal optus customer for nearly 20 years, I will be removing my account asap. Shame on you optus. #optusareshit

  • sarah_james73 SarahJ (@sarah_james73) reported

    Optus are the WORST phone company ever. Currently in a bill dispute with them. So they completely deleted my access to view my account payments and bills electronically. They are refusing to give me any way to look at these records unless I pay my bill first. #optussuck

  • dontwanna81 Don't Want To (@dontwanna81) reported

    @Optus You didn’t. You didn’t notify that there was going to be an outage on home phones. Not everyone has a “smart phone”. Some people are elderly who rely on their home phones #dobetter

    @CrStuartJames @Telstra We use Southern Phone I on Optus Network she on Telstra, the call centres always in Australia. Always very helpful unless it’s a home internet issue but that’s another story! Still on BB with an option for wireless NBN

    @EpochTimes Paypal is owned by china, and can delete, cancel your existence and funds on a whim, they're doing it right now! CCP money! Like Optus, give them NO money goes straight into CCP coffers, we are warned.
