@Optus Can someone from Optus PLEASE contact us our service is constantly woeful. We are constantly using data because the wifi is SO slow. 0418185815

@Optus Once again, if you read further back it’s an ongoing issue. Throughout the CBD and my train ride home - not one select location.

@garfydaya Hey Kelly, that is certainly strange! It could be a SIM or phone problem. The first step would be getting a free SIM replacement from a local Optus store. If you're still having issues, then it may be the phone at fault. PM us if you're still needing a hand. George

@Optus Anybody at Optus care to argue to the contrary that the network is in a permanent state of "Maintenance"? I'm guessing no. My experience and rolling screenshots offer the true picture.

@Optus send help. My phone keeps telling me there's no SIM card inserted and becomes a useless hunk of junk that I have to restart to get any signal again. Phone problem or SIM problem?

@Optus Next time I will send a DM but I have to say that we never had any issues with broadband wireless previously so it just seems like the NBN has failed us in this instance

@Optus @networkoutage I've been having issues with my NBN connection since the 20th of November. I've had two technician visits and nothing has been fixed. The technician has outlined a fault on the NBN side. (PNRI) Ref: INC00014493942. Nobody can give me a timeframe for a fix.

@kbrspace As CEO of Optus, are you aware that your entire customer base of iPhone users are unable to use Visual Voicemail - a standard iPhone feature for 10+ years that is offered by ALL your competitors? Just wondering if it’s ever come up in a meeting @optus .....
