  @MissIgraine I’m with Amaysim, so Optus towers. Was trying to call Mum & she tried to call me but neither of us could get through. Texts were super super slow

  Thank you for contacting us and highlighting this issue. I'm sorry to learn that you're having trouble activating your service. If you can find someone to share their hotspot with you or access free Wi-Fi, you can download the Optus App to resolve this. If that's not feasible, an Optus representative will be available in-store to help you sort this out. - Robyn

  @MichaelRuyg yep, when they built the NBN fixed wireless tower, that carries optus and vodafone as well, it had a backup generator. then the tower got "upgraded" with 6 months of regular outages and then next power outage we discovered the backup generator and the ability to call 000 was gone

  @Optus The issue we have is that OPRUS has a history of being hacked and not doing the right thing by its customers so why would I trust you with storing my credit card information and deducting whatever you want? Optus SHOULD MAINTAIN THE OPTION TO ALLOW ITS CUSTOMERS TO POST PAY…

  @FreedmFightr1 When OPTUS stadium was built in WA originally they wanted to charge obscene prices for crap pies until the backlash. But that's the mindset. Instead of being grateful. They want to milk the supporters DRY!

  @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

  Everyone leaves Cursor for refactors. They lose the 3x speed. One founder shipped $12k MRR in nine days using only Cursor + Grok 4.6. Daily Workflow starts inside the file. Open the file inside Cursor. Feed the exact three-line Prompt Patterns straight to inline Grok. Rewrite only the current sentence before moving on. Most still paste stack traces into ChatGPT and kill the flow. That alone eats 30% of refactor time. Grok 4.6 beats Claude Optus on large refactors because you never exit the codebase. Counterintuitive tip: stay sentence-by-sentence instead of dumping the whole function. What slowed your last refactor most?

  @Optus And the session time-out keeps interrupting me when I'm talking to a customer support, I have to log in again after a while. Why is that? Can the product manager explain? The overall experience with Optus apps (Web and mobile) is painful, and a simple request would take days.
