wow that is hectic, K2! Sounds like a call to the ombudsman is definitely in order. I think pretty much all phone companies suck. I hope it gets sorted out for you and really soon!

after an hour on the phone to 3, and being hung up on, told im not who i am, and telling me stuff I already know, spoke to a supervising manager and they are unsuspending my phone. but apperenltly my usage is up to $1300 now, even though I havent used it. They are looking into why it is happening. and they are also saying now my 1gb inclusive data is only 50mb, and the manager is looking into why it changed this month after 23months of bills showing otherwise. He is calling me back thursday next week with hopefully a solution.

Im still going to contact the ombudsman, as the situation and how I was treated is totally un acceptable

Its because if TIO contact them about it and the companies shit themselves, cos if it doesnt get sorted, TIO fines them $10,000 to look into the problem.

I mentioned TIO to the guy and he put me straight through to his manager. Still calling them to get this sorted properly!

I barred Telstra about 7 years ago, and Optus is in the firing line in 5 mths time as well!!!!! (Mobile plan runs out and that is the end for them)

And every time that either of these telcos rings me askin me to come back, I get immense satisfaction in lettin them know that I was once a customer of theirs, and never will be again!!!!!

If more people did this, then they would start to listen!!!!!

Even if they get it sorted K2, make sure ya ask em what they are now gonna do to keep ya a loyal customer!!!!!

mate, ignorance isnt an excuse, you should have followed up with them to send you a bill. seen it happen before.

i hardly call them asking for money you rightfully owe them bullying tho?

The TIO will sort it for you K2, if I could be bothered typing a lot of words, I could tell you a very funny story about us and Telstra.

A good lift story at the shred.

You will end up happy after the anguish has passed.
