Jo (@JoGierke) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus so we are now into week 3 of no service to my Apple Watch and no idea when this will be fixed even though I have had a tech unpair my watch many times, many attempts and trips to the store and 2 new sims... what’s the plan @Optus move back to @VodafoneAU
-
Daniel (@Daniel__Nash) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus hello, we got a new plan yesterday and the sim is not yet activated. Not in store, not later as told, not thanks to the online chat agent today, and I can't find the way to do it. Kinda need to be able to use the phone... please help.
-
David Findlay (@davidjfindlay) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandGood work @Optus I recommended you to my father, but after buying a SIM he’s spent hours failing to get it activated via your automated customer anti-service system which is apparently designed to thwart victims from getting to speak to a person. Never recommending you again.

Jeremy Jee (@jjee88888) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@GladysB Optus garbage service is a backwards step for Australia

MissLiLy (@Team_LiLy) reported from Brisbane, Queenslandhey @newscomauHQ saw your article on @Optus about their incompetency and the hecking! They told me I wasn’t hacked and then a month later told me I was! Being trying to find a resolution and they are useless. Reach out if you want the story!

Imran Ali Rana (@emeerana) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandFix your **** @Telstra don't let your customers switch to Optus. ******* nightmare!

Gary Thomas Ellis (@GaryThomasEllis) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandBloody hell #Optus 6 ads in a row in a subscription service is beyond reasonable. All the ads were for your own products.
-
Lissy (@lissyvz67) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandIs it an #optus tactic to make getting something fixed so difficult that customers just give up? I've had no nbn since 16th February and no one at #optus seems to care or want to help her the nbn working again. My son works from home. This is just not acceptable.

Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@JanB_QLD @joshgnosis Moreover i have not been a customer for 15 years yet I received a letter from Optus saying it was likely my personal information had been stolen.
-
Michael McNally (@NTEUQldDivSec) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandAbsolute crap service from @Optus “more than an hour and so we won’t be dealing with your call today”. #optusfail Yasmin got through and they wouldn’t let her just report the fault even though she has an @Optus account at same address. Complete failure of their outsourcing model

Timmy (@TimmyfromOz888) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@ktdenise My only true issue atm is struggling to screen mirror but mainly due to having an outdated TV and or not having an Apple Box.. mainly issue for my Optus Sports but that not a drama atm lol

lesposen (@lesposen) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus I’m on phone support currently. The question is about remotely rebooting my modem when away, it drops connection 2xweekly
-
Matt (@MattIsNE1) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@TGUZ72 @Optus That’s one thing about hiring people to provide front line support when they are not adequately equipped to work through issues. Sometimes that will result in someone letting out more information than they should.

FightForFreedom (@2A_Fighter) reported@scrowder Are you literally quoting him like he was correct? Like when people like the police or f b I do an investigation or when the people help with an investigation, they don't ask questions to get them to the next question? I feel like your main purposefully optus

Blythe (@Simp_Bat_Gaming) reported@drewlevin Hello Drew Levin, I apologise for once again commenting about this issue :c I have tried so hard to contact support only to be shut down again and again. My name is Blythe (riot account is SimpCat#Meow,) I have been playing league for a few years now in the OCE server. It is a very important part of my life, I’ve met life long friends and my amazing fiancé, Samuel, while playing league of legends. A few months ago my fiancé’s account, (noXis#Kayn) was breached by an overseas IP and subsequently banned for scripting. When we logged off the evening prior nothing was out of the ordinary—we ragequit after getting absolutely smashed two games in a row (rip) and then opted to play minecraft to chill out instead. Fast forward to the following day we go to log into our accounts as per normal only to learn that Sam’s been perma banned. We were both absolutely shocked, heartbroken and confused, I instantly went into my previous game logs, clicked on his profile and went into his recent game history. We found 3 games of ARAM mayhem had been played on his account within an hour of us logging off for the evening—in such games we absolutely saw the person using scripts. After doing some digging through emails we came to learn that Samuel’s email address had been compromised through one of the Australian Optus breaches, in his archived emails we found multiple log in attempts for his riot account, two of which had been successful. They turned off his 2FA for easier and more discreet access. We reached out to the riot support team via the ticket system for help, explaining what had happened as well as the sentimental value of this account. We were subsequently informed that a manual review of the games show scripts and any further ticket will be auto-closed. We KNOW scripts were used, we reviewed the games via my account and could see them clear as day—the issue was that his account had been breached unlawfully and subsequently banned for an offence he did not commit! We’ve both been actively working over these past few months to try and get some kind of help from ANYONE only to be shut down again and again. I have refused to touch league of legends, TFT and Riftbound since this has happened. We have both never shared our account details with anyone and he did have 2FA on. He did all the right things to secure his account and it was still compromised :c I have been disheartened, disappointed and frustrated. I understand that you are a busy person and that the you do not represent the support team, I’m just looking for some kind of advice, guidance and direction on how to get the support team to open an investigation! Just today we got another email about an attempted log in from overseas! Please, please help. I’m begging you :c Thank you for your time, i apologise once again and I look forward to hearing from you.

Community raised it many times with Jazz, to always receive standard replies, to no avail. Please raise with Jazz to talk with Singtel/Optus to restore Jazz IR in Australia.

Jason Anders (@Jet_Anders) reported@Optus @Optus @OptusNewsRoom when I try to dial out it tells me there is insufficient credit to make a call, when I text the balance check number it shows unlimited calls until the end of the day 31/07/2026 and the current time is midday AEST. Would this be a network issue?
