Just walked out of an Optus store after changing a few things on my account & missed a couple of calls from this number. Does not mean I'm going to choose another server - Oputs have given me excellent service for many years & would never go elsewhere. A few years ago I answered one of these calls from Optus & they gave me a much better deal on my current package

I have just received a call from this number. It was an Optus technician trying to resolve an issue I have with my phone. Very helpful.

I have just started receiving these calls around 2 weeks ago even though I have been with Optus for around 4 years. They seem to call daily, varying times but always business hours which is highly inconvenenient when your in meetings, driving etc. I am on the phone to Optus now as it is a joke that, according to the net, this is a call from Optus Sales and they can't be bothered leaving a message, what's the point of wasting multiple calls, if I haven't returned it I don't want it!!!!!

I have had a 2 year long issue with Optus overcharging me by hundreds of dollars for 'excess' data usage when their bonus data offer "dropped off the system" after making some changes to my account .. then they 'graciously' offered to pay some back, claiming I needed to take some responsibility also (but it was their system stuff-up!). The call from this number was from an EXCELLENT Optus rep ('agent' is what they call themselves) called LYNETTE (ID 56710) who said she'd continue looking into my case and would call me back so I didn't have to keep explaining myself to a whole parade of agents who just didn't get it!! After answering the call from this number I am FINALLLLLY .. after a 24 month long saga .. making headway into sorting this matter out; I am only just now feeling heard rather than feeling SCREWED OVER! (Thank you Lynette : )

I too have had many calls from this number, it is a call centre. The beep you hear is an automated system, if you answer with your business, or personal name, they will call you from a wide variety of other numbers, probably using VOIP, and try to con you into assorts of rubbish. It is far more difficult to identify as a scam when they address you by name.

Best idea, don't answer!

Came here to find out whho called me twice on a Sunday. Have been with optus for years and I think they have fantastic service but please leave me alone on the weekend, I didn't answer of course but a company should not even consider calling on a weekend.

I had a call from GRAEME level 3 tech support. He is a legitimate Optus tech however he is a rude and unhelpful man and I suggest he learn some etiquette in dealing with customers. After over an hour on hold, and five customer service reps hopefully I can make a complaint.

Yeah, bad call from Optus to spam their own customers. For me it was easy to solve. I called them up and opted out of all marketing. Haven't been called since then.

Just got a call from this number 14:56, 3 rings and hung up

Call Optus Customer Service and complain 131344 or 1300 300 298 I did an gave them an earfull of abuse

I have two missed calls from this number. They never leave a message.

I am with Telstra and received a call from this number. The caller was trying to sell me Optus. He asked for personal details like address, email and D.O.B sounded dodgy so I told him I was not interested.

I got a call today from that number at 16:10pm today.
i am optus mobile

I get the same number 3 times a day. I was with Telstra and never had this problem.  weeks ago i switched to optus and thats when all this s**t started to happen.I dont answer and dont ring it.

I've filed an official complaint with the TIO. I recommend that others do the same. Website is http://www.tio.com.au/ComplaintForm/ComplaintFormS1.asp

I'm also with Optus Mobile, and received a call from this number last Tuesday at 1:09pm. I didn't answer it.

If anyone gets repeated calls from this number, have you noticed a consistent time of call?

I got missed call from (02) 8082 9775 in morning on 15th and 16th july2009. Don't know who is it? annoying?

Got a call from this number, did not answer it as I knew the number from before. Optus asking me if my plan is "ok" and trying to up-sell me.

Thing is, I had a call from a similar number some weeks ago and answered that time. Told them I am not interested - sadly it seems they don't get the message.
