I just took a call from this number - said they were from Optus and wanted to keep me as a customer. Said my current contract is due to expire end of August (no it doesn't, it's mid-June) and they said I was currently using a Nokia phone which was what I was set up with 2 years ago (not it wasn't, I got a Samsung Galaxy). Offererd another 2 years with bells and whistles plus a free Iphone 4, as long as I signed or another 2 years. Isaid i will think about it and to call me back in 2 days.

I picked up a call from them just over a year ago, asking me if I want to upgrade my mobile phone services with Optus. I said politely, no thanks (I knew it wasn't real because they didn't address me by my name- which they should have with the account details). They were a bit pushy about it, so I just had to hang up. I saved that number in my phone, luckily, because a month later, they called again, no joke, and have been doing so about 2-4 times a week since.
I rang the proper number for Optus and asked about it, and they don't know what's going on.
......

I got calls from this number - advised they were calling on behalf of optus and offered me a new phone for signing up for another 2 years. I agreed and I received my new phone within a week. I assumed it was a scam but it seems I got lucky this time.

Had a missed call today. Thanks to this site I just typed in the number, read all the above and also put the number in my phone as a scam call. They also rang me about 24mths ago and I thought they were Optus, again I waited 3 weeks and rang Optus, they knew nothing about my new phone. Luckily for me I was just off contract, and got a new phone through the real Optus. They must know time is up for me again. Sorry to all my friends but if you arent in my phone you arent getting answered. :(

Yup it's optus trying to get renew contract.

They have called me twice over the past few days, say to call them about an over due acc with optus but I don't have an overdue acc, they left a VM saying to call immediately to discuss this and also about an uograde. Riiiiight.

If we wanted new phones and new contracts would we not go and get one, i know i don'y sit by the phone waiting for the new phone/contact to come to me!, leave us alone telemarketers

I just got a call from this number. Didn't hear it ringing so it's a missed call. Reading this, I think I'm not (never ever) going to answer. Have put this number in my address book with "scam" as name. I hate these kind of calls ... if I want to have or buy something, I'll go to the shop.

Some telemarketing losers trying to peddle their goods to unsuspecting australians seem to be a optus reseller do not trust anything they say.

We got a call  a couple of days ago on my sons phone which we purchased on contract for him from optus saying that they could upgrade it to a galaxy S2 if we re-contract for another 24 months we agreed to it but now seeing this and contacting optus and them telling us that they have no records of this and that the contract would need to have run at least 20 months for us to be eligible for an upgrade did we get burned for our personal information???

So i called OPTUS cus i got jack of them calling me almost every day... apparently OCEANIA MARKETING is a part of optus but its a SALES TEAM that are calling all of their customers to upgrade them. The optus customer service agent said it was weird that they were calling me though as i havnt even been with optus for a year yet and theyre supposed to be only calling people that have been with optus for at least 20+ months so that this Oceania marketing can upgrade these customers.

I am quite discusted with the call I received from Olivia C/- Oceania / Optus.Her slang telephone manner does her or Optus no favours.After declining her offer to upgrade my Internet service - She hung up on me  with a "Ok Mate ..Just trying to save u some money" ......slam....down goes the phoneI'm going to Telstra,

they ring me all day every day

This number called me last Thursday and again today. after reading this glad i have ignored them.

They keep calling my work number.
