  @Optus ordered a phone upgrade and eSIM. Got the email saying the order number would arrive next. But nothing. Told the order wasn’t processed ‘yet’. Had this before. They say order again and you end up with 2 accounts. When you cancel one, it incurs fees and a debt agency. Scam.

  @Optus I’ve had the worst experience purchasing a new phone from you. 3 different answers from 3 different customer service “humans” Now, you are trying to charge me $1,100 for a non return fee despite you never sending me the documentation you promised. Really unhappy!!!

  @Zaica71 Hi there, as mentioned by my colleague, this is a built-in safety feature within the phone. Based on the notification, it seems that the change is not permanent and will unblock all numbers for a 2-hour period to ensure that you are reachable by emergency services. Please send us a DM if you require further assistance with your Optus services. -Jay

  @aidancellini4 @zerohanger I have never once seen a game at optus (or any other stadium) sell tickets for $35 unless you’re a child lmao

  @VibewireCentral What is the business case for 6G? Can we get rid of our non services and only run on the radio network? @Optus

  @jnj_pro Hey, J. Customers who log in using email & password also need to perform Multi-factor authentication (MFA). We recommend enabling biometrics in the My Optus App for a faster and secure login, where no extra codes are required. From the 1st of Jan 2026, no conversation history will be stored/available in the My Optus app or My Account online. We understand that this change is a pain point for you, and we've flagged this as feedback for the relevant teams to review. - Dillon

  @james00000001 I now think not an Optus problem as my husband received the alarm and he is on the same service as me. If I don't get anything I will contact Optus to find out why not.
