  @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?

  @enngees I understand the service is already active. Apologies for any confusion. My comment was specifically in relation to your question about travellers purchasing an Optus SIM and the advice we provide. If you're having trouble recharging your service using one of our accepted payment methods, please send us a DM, and we'll take a closer look at what's happening. - Talia

  @myGovau Go digital they said. What that has got us? MyGov, Telstra, Optus hacked. Stolen identities, etc. This isn't even 1% the problem. Why keep pushing something that causes many problems & stress to everyday ppl? Tracing private citizens every move is the objective.

  @cookyourgarden @valuetainment They dont have lowband spectrum in Australia (nor in the US) without doing a deal with existing providers (Telstra & Optus) so dont get your hopes up. The spectrum they do have is mid band and would require phone manufacturers to support it, also needs a clear path to the sky to work.

  @ronInBendigo A clear sign that corporate management wishes to frustrate and alienate customers. No just due to the decision but principally due to the inevitable decline e to disastrous levels of customer service and systems reliability. The much reviled Optus is a case in point: dreadful customer service and numerous life-threatening outages as a result inadequate staff processes and failed procedures. I would love to see the risk assessments carried out by both companies, in relation to both real and reputation risk.

  @AdityaS41869751 @randomcricstat Heads batting at the Optus to England off the back foot mainly But yes these drop in pitches on multi sport grounds are awful they break up and crack so easily or you leave enough grass on the top and it’s like your playing on a minefield

  Had a look at umpiring in all Freo home @AFL games this year at Optus v interstate teams. Worst free kick count is minus 3 v Blues and Suns. Rd 9 v Hawks was 17-17. Hopefully this means we don't need to worry about the umpires but Suns got the 1st 3 frees last year. #foreverfreo
