I received 11 missed calls from this number following a complaint I lodged with Optus to cancel my contract, apparently it's an Optus hotline number and I only get a recorded message from Optus when I try to call it back.

just checked here to see who it might have been - 2 calls in 2 minutes. I recently enquired about cancelling my plan!!

Received welcome automated calls confirming an Optus technicians appointment.

This is definately optus, but I think it is a default number, because I answered it and it was a really helpful consultant helping me with an enquiry I had made earlier, and she took it on her own back to find a better plan and switch it over, and she was calling me back to tell me.

Just got a call from this number and googled here. Young lady said i had called to make a query/complaint re my computer about Optus service and immediately initiated convo to get my full details?? so Ass/u/me??!! im not with 'Opt-anything' I said 1) never called with query about my computer/service 2) On Do not call register and she hung up.. OK.

4 missed calls in 4 days
same issues as posted before
how do i stop them from calling me @#&&##@@#&*//&#

I just got two calls from this number.
Optus is not only annoying, but also persistant.
I only use my moblie phone for SMS.

Love how they don't speak when you answer and then when you ring them back you're on their recorded message getting charged. Taking all four of our family off Optus and moving to another provider.

Missed the call but thought it was probably Optus as I had spoken to someone day before with a query. Thanks for confirming.

Is it really OPTUS? I just got 2 calls from this number withing 20 minutes, missed them both. Reminds me of the phone scam a couple of years back... http://www.tio.com.au/Scamwatch/phone_protection.html

yeah, I got two missed calls a day from this number... didn't ring long enough for me to answer.

I finally did get to answer (after 4 days) and it was some survey they wanted to do about the experience I had with from a few days before.. Here I was worried that they were going to cut my phone off as the call they were refering to was a payment extension request.

ANNOYING

i've missed 2 calls from this number and i don't know who it is but i don't want to call back

Call at   while I was working  and cound not answer.  Called number back later and a female Filipino accented recording indicated it is OPTUS and then gives some other 13 numbers relating to Optus. And then for a specific OPTUS employee call them at their office.
I am very wary of out of the blue calls from OPTUS. They always try to sign you up to something without letting you see it in writing first and also tell you that they are recording the call.  They are having it both ways.

I received a call from this number claiming to be from optus and asking if the phone number was related to "The Australian Small Scale Offerings Board" business - which it isn't (weird thing is- I worked for this company approximately 6 months ago)they then promptly hung up.A few minutes later i had my mobile phone ring from a malaysian investment company - with the number (02) 8209 4700 - after "baiting" the caller by sounding excited in their product I asked if they had just called my landline number - to which they replied Yes !  - I also asked where they obtained my details from and the caller said that they buy customer details from Optus and Dunn & Bradstreet !  I called optus (my home phone carrier) with this info as the the malaysian caller had initially identified themselves as being from optus.  after some discussion and what seemed like a "do not care" attitude from optus - I was informed that Optus definately sell off customer details and also banks are starting to as well.  Optus could not stop my details from being sold and could only offer to register on the Do Not Call website but there was no way that my email or street address details could not be stopped from being sold - the only option I was told was to make our home phone number silent.

Had a missed call from this number.  Called back, it said it was Optus.  No direct line, so I gave up.
