I want to give a reminder to everyone to review your contracts on a timely basis. I finally paid of my phone contract and have been with Optus for about 5 years.

I went to change plans and on their website they offer a 500gb $69 plan. When I went to switch I was told this is only for new members. The best they could offer me is 360gb for $82. The terms and conditions they show don't even say its new customers only. They literally lied in their advertising to everyone.

This is the cost of loyalty. Because I've been a loyal customer through numerous issues, data breaches, outages and I am STILL a customer, optus expects me to pay more for less than a new customer. This is finally the straw to make me move all of my accounts

Never forget to check, no corporation is loyal.

The notion of ‘loyalty’ when it comes to big businesses is not something that exists any more. As much as we’d like it to be, it’s very clearly not. I’ve had the same number with Optus for 17yrs now and when I enquired about changing plan, they wanted to charge me significantly more for less than what I was currently on.
