Bo Reidler (@2020digging) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@abcnews Patterson reckons companies make errors? This is unadulterated negligence. @Optus has failed in their *legal* responsibility to keep their customers’ data safe. APP11. Penny pinching on security while dishing it out for incompetent executives is a recipe for disaster.

Adam Jobbins (@ajobbins) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@seemsforever Yeah, I've been the information risk owner of large, externally facing systems like this and it's the nightmare situation. But reading how the hack was done, it's crazy that Optus didn't know about this vulnerability, or if they did and didn't fix it....😬

𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚘.𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚌e (@stirlospace) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@cameronwilson Also v handy for checking “does X network actually provide service where I’m at /. Work or live?” Without having to sign a contract or >1 month typically. Where I’m at in aus Telstra and Vodafone seem to be the best combo, Optus just does NOT work. At all, YMMV etc

The Barefoot Nurse (@Barefootnurse1) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaWhen Optus was hacked, state governments were quick to offer support for victims with new ID, nothing for Medicare customers, why the difference in response? The support from Medicare at this point has been pathetic. #thedrum

*Cindy N* 🤔✨4️⃣🦠💉 (@cindyn) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaAnyone else see the irony in @Optus calling their in market plans “Choice Plus” and *reducing* the number of ways to pay (no bpay, which I use to manage cash flow )… meaning LESS CHOICE?! I’ve been a customer for 20 years, this could be the thing that makes me jump. Not cool.

Stanleysmum (Sharon) (@Stanleysmum1) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Optus I've received one email from Optus (My bill) and today have (so far) had 15 spam/robocallers. All reported but how bad will this get before you take action. What guarantees will you put in place to ensure my passport and licence details aren't sold off to the highest bidder?

Nick (@_nicks_tweets) reported@Optus I’m not having issues activating my eSIM. I already have a eSIM with you. I want to buy a secondary number sim and cannot enter my OTP once it is sent via email. It also seems like there is a issue on your end with getting OTPs via email as it has taken over 10 minutes to arrive

Mad Hatter ♠️♥️♣️♦️ (@MattBrady1980) reported@Optus Been over an hour now… Great to see how a 20+ year customer is treated. At this rate I may as well just save my time and go with another provider.

Juan Calderon (@JuanCal41039133) reported@optus_help @Optus @choiceaustralia How a 1-month travel phone plan in Australia turned into 22 months of charges I can’t cancel. I bought a 1-month travel phone plan in June 2024. Never used it again and now nearly two years later, I’m still being charged monthly and they still don’t let me cancel. I have already attempted to resolve this through normal customer support channels and need assistance escalating this issue. Today I experienced what may be the worst customer service of my life. I recently noticed a charge from Optus on my credit card. At first I didn’t even recognize the company. After digging through my statements, I discovered I’ve been charged every month since June 2024. That’s 22 months of charges. Then it hit me… Optus is the phone service I purchased while visiting Australia in June 2024. It was supposed to be temporary service for a one-month holiday. I left Australia after 1 month. The service continued charging. Now before anyone says “you probably just forgot to cancel”… I actually tried to cancel it back in 2024, two months after returning home, when I noticed the charges on my credit card and no longer was using the service. And the exact same thing happened then that happened again today. Today I contacted Optus through their online chat. The agent asked me to verify my identity. I provided: • My full name • My date of birth • My email used to open the account • My service/account number All information I found by digging through my old emails from when I opened the service in June 2024. Despite providing all of this, they said they could only verify my identity by sending a text message to the Australian phone number associated with the account. The problem? That phone number was attached to a temporary phone I bought for a one-month holiday almost two years ago. I obviously no longer have that phone. The chat agent then told me I had to call customer service. So I called — internationally — from the other side of the planet. A very expensive call I might add. After answering all the same verification questions again, the result was exactly the same, but now with the additional bill of paying for the international phone call. They said they could not access or cancel the account because they could only verify me through a text message to a phone number I no longer have. Their final suggestion? Visit an Optus store in person. That suggestion obviously isn’t possible since I live on the other side of the world and was only in Australia for a short visit. So here I am. Charged for 22 months of a service I used for 1 month, despite trying to cancel it both in 2024 and again today in 2026. Yes, I could block the payment through my credit card. And I will if I have to. But after more than 50 years on this planet, I’ve never had to do that because a company made it literally impossible to cancel a service. I have traveled to over 80 countries across 6 continents and have purchased temporary phone service in nearly all of them. I have never experienced a situation where it was literally impossible to cancel a service. I’m hoping someone from the Optus social support team can help escalate this so it can finally be resolved. Since I attempted to cancel this service back in 2024 shortly after returning home, I’m hoping Optus can review the charges from that point onward and consider a refund for the months the service was no longer being used. I’m confident a review of the account history will confirm my earlier cancellation attempt. Ideally: • Cancel the account • Refund the charges from when I first attempted to cancel in 2024 • Refund my customer service call that I made today I’m hoping Optus can resolve this directly, as my preference is always to work with a company before considering any formal consumer complaint options. If this cannot be resolved through Optus support, my next step will be to seek guidance from the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman, since I have already attempted multiple times to cancel this service. Timeline • June 2024 – Purchased temporary Optus phone service while visiting Australia • August 2024 – First attempted cancellation after returning home • March 2026 – Attempted cancellation again via chat and international phone call • Result – Unable to cancel because verification requires a text to a phone number from a temporary travel phone I no longer have If someone from the Optus team can help resolve this, I would truly appreciate it. If not, I may need to share this experience more broadly so other travelers understand the unsatisfactory customer service that your company is providing tourists visiting Australia. I’m hoping it doesn’t come to that and that someone from Optus can help resolve this quickly. Thank you in advance for your assistance. If someone from Optus can assist, I’m happy to provide account details via DM.
