    @Optus for new phone plans do you still require copies of customer’s ID documents?

  • trinest Trent Petronaitis (@trinest) reported

    @noreasonspec The satalite service dish they are using is Optus and keeps cutting out.

  • Sheeds_au Sheeds (@Sheeds_au) reported from San Remo, State of Victoria

    So the answer to the @Optus breach by @VicRoads is to issue everyone a second card, effectively 2 CARD # FACTOR AUTHORISATION which will need to later be quoted to companies needing license info. Looking forward to the day I have a full deck of License cards. #OptusDataBreach

  • AmandaFirenze Print Change // Amanda Firenze (@AmandaFirenze) reported

    Forced to go to the ombudsman due to lack of response from @Optus about internet issues. Let’s see if I finally get some action now.

  • OlBuds Lower Middle Bogan (@OlBuds) reported

    @redruby17 @ClareONeilMP @Optus It's probably some stupid bot they've got running, their website, billing systems and general backend has always been hopeless. Their mobile app is still telling me that direct debit isn't set up on my account but it has been for more than 20 years.

  • OlBuds Lower Middle Bogan (@OlBuds) reported

    @redruby17 @ClareONeilMP @Optus Optus' technical service is generally very reliable but their customer service has always sucked. I've been with them since 1998 for internet and 1993 for phone, it's good while it's working which is most of the time, but when it breaks it's a nightmare getting it fixed.

  • nararofficial Nara🌹 (@nararofficial) reported

    @Telstra Hi @Telstra, not sure how you can help, because he's Optus's customer, not Telstra's. Only I am. But would appreciate it if someone can help. It's getting more and more serious everyday.

  • iDesignGuyau Brendon C (@iDesignGuyau) reported

    @cazzam83 @Optus I think that might be the only solution. They’re too unreliable

  • djhartmann DJ แปลไทย Dylan J Hartmann (@djhartmann) reported

    @nararofficial @Optus damn! I also haven’t done anything to protect my details.

  • EDaibutsu 🍵Matcha Addict (@EDaibutsu) reported

    @Ala_ti_ti Optus sucks. As always
