  @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS RCS support for iPhone Messages in Australia isn't live yet. Apple added it back in iOS 18, but it requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone. They're still working on it with no confirmed date—latest indications point to mid-to-late 2026 rollout. Contact your carrier for the latest.

  @optus you don't allow me to cancel my mobile number and are forcing me to keep paying. I want to cancel, how can I do that? I left Australia last year. Your customer service agents say that to cancel I need to return to Australia and physically present at an Optus store.

  Holy f*uck trying to get an Optus data SIM was a nightmare. The usual system at Harvey Norman wouldn't work, no one could figure out why, had to call Optus support and do it manually. And I had to bend over and get privacy rubber glove, credit check the whole works.

  BEHIND THE SCENES Before, during and after every AFL match at Optus Stadium, the Main Roads’ events team work with many stakeholders to provide a safe passage for vehicle and foot traffic to and from the game. They do this by closing off certain roads, checking in with traffic management, the Real Time Traffic Operations Centre and the stadium events team to make sure all elements are in place and ready to play their part. If there are any issues that occur, they are first to reach out on communication channels to make sure it’s handled effectively and efficiently. Even down to the pointy end making sure no unauthorised vehicles are parked near areas that will affect the flow.  #perthtraffic #optusstadium

  In 3 weeks, Freo play StK at Optus. During that time, I hope I can forget that the Blues had a red hot sniff on the road against the Dockers while the Saints stomped on their dead carcass in front of the Blues home crowd. One year ago today, 94-33. Never forget that one.

  @sueytweets @lainie_york I might pop in to Optus to get a new one but it’s not on the top of my to do list. Apple purposely do this when a contract is finished slow the phone down and battery too.

  @optus_help So much palaver to have to re-enter WiFi password etc Everything is set to WiFi but still no joy with connection for small or calls. Poor service considering optus is always doing upgrades/maintenance constantly. Get sick of no service
