  💉💉💉 Granville in FNQ 😷 (@Granville4879) reported 19 minutes ago from Cairns, Queensland

  @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

  @AdityaS41869751 @randomcricstat Heads batting at the Optus to England off the back foot mainly But yes these drop in pitches on multi sport grounds are awful they break up and crack so easily or you leave enough grass on the top and it’s like your playing on a minefield

  @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?

  4/5 Then September 2025: a 14-hour outage, 75% of Triple Zero calls failing, 4 people dead. Optus is now Australia's most distrusted brand. The coding error was the start, not the story.

  Free Tip #8 Record 5-2 With AFL starting tommorow this is the best time to join our discord. Caleb Serong o26.5 $1.83 sb 1.5u Caleb Serong averages 34 disposals per game in finals. Serong has a great matchup where Hawthorn ranks 5th worst in defending inside Mids. Serong will have no attention this game and when u consider that and a minimum of 70% TOG he averages 27.6 disposals per game at Optus , when u consider the soft matchup he averages 30.5 disposals per game

  @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
