why are they calling me ..my phone number is on the DO NOT CALL REGISTER...

Yes I have a comment! STOP RINGING!!!

Oceania, a sales outsource organization employed by Optus

Hi, I seem to remember looking this number up several months ago when I had a spate of calls from that number.  Other people were saying that it was an arm of Foxtel trying to sell you stuff and unfortunately once you answer that number, it keeps ringing you.

When do they stop calling you?

They've called me 6 times in the past 3 days, always at bad times so I can't answer to find out who it is. I think it may be Optus calling to see how my service is going...

i got call early on they rang i answered i reply hello its blank they hang upi have got do not call back they still calling thru

I got a call this morning from an ocis rep who was telling me my current deal had already expired and as I have two services provided by Optus I would get subscriptions to two magazines for a year if I renewed and that he would draw up a new contract for me. It was a terrible line and had to get him to repeat everything. I said no then called Optus and their person told me that they wouldn't contact customers in this way and that my plans have no expiry date, and they rely on customers either requesting a plan change on the phone or responding to a mailshot.
So if anonymous is right then it seems a classic case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing.

I actually have a friend who works for this company, it's OCIS not OSIS. (oceanic customer interactive services) an australian based and owned company with 2 overseas centeres in Fiji and new Zealand.
It is a 3rd party outsourced company who handles the bulk of Optus's recontracting work, and inbound Optus sales overflow.

They prodominanty call customers at the end of their contract and remind them they are eligible for a new phone/plan or other loyalty offers.

No more a scam than getting a call directly from Optus trying to get you to renew your agreement.

I think you all need to calm down just a little, your identity can't be stolen with a name and date of birth id check (which is done for your own safety, to male sure it is the account holder who is agreeing to the renewal)
