    @helphelpandhelp It's the fact that Optus KEPT all the personal info, even of ex-customers. WTF were they doing with licence and passport numbers well after the 100 point check had been done. WHY?

    The customer experience at @VodafoneAU is equally as bad as @Optus. Need our roaming activated urgently yet there is no way to contact them except via the app (which needs an SMS to login). How stupid is that! And they won't reply via DM. 😩

    @Optus is there a problem with trying to recharge prepaid? My partner is losing her mind after multiple failed attempts via credit card, and now voucher. The voucher even says to call a number to recharge, and the only option is credit card. Please help.

    @KohlifiedGal They are doing it from 3 years and despite having all the facilities it looks awful tbh! The vibe at MCG or Optus etc >>

    @ruth_graver @Optus Give Aussie broadband a look, they've been superb for me. Fantastic customer service and no issues with anything! If you do, use this referal code to get $50 credit: 7979438

    @JarniBlakkarly @choiceaustralia I only found out last week that I was a victim of the Optus data theft when VicRoads wrote to me, not really concerned, left Optus some years back and have change bank account since, new licence should fix the problem for me at least

    @deemadigan @Telstra Every few months I get a text from Optus saying “Good news. We’re bringing faster speeds to your area. This may cause disruptions to your service as we undertake work on the network” I wish they’d bloody well hurry up

  • billygraveslfc William Newman-Graves (@billygraveslfc) reported

    Hey @Optus is calling out your absolutely woeful customer service on here the only way to get a complaint addressed? 3 weeks now and no resolution.

  • ProfAngePala Angela Paladino (@ProfAngePala) reported

    @optus, how many tower works are needed to maintain a basic level of service? Seriously, constant dropouts and no reception for hours on end since September and now more works until December? There should be refunds being issued to customers for lack of service ...
