My wife just called me from New York. She has spent the past 35hrs in transit,
flights delayed or diverted because of storms and ATC issues. She was supposed
to arrive at her destination 12hrs ago.
Aside from the travelling issues what made it hardest was that her newly
purchased N95i from Optus was supposed to have international roaming turned on.
But it wasn't. She was unable to call the people that were meeting her at JFK to
advise her of the delays. At one point they were stuck on the runway in SFO for
an hour or two. Her phone wasn't working.
In one airport, Newark, New Jersey it might've been, the damned thing wouldn't
even connect to a free wifi hotspot. Sorry, it could connect but she could not
browse. She was trying to send me an email so I could call Optus, put a rocket
up their collective arses so they would turn roaming on. She then would've been
able to call up to advise that she was late (which by then these people realised
that anyway).
According to the website it's automatically activated. But in this case this was
not the case, as it were.
Now, tomorrow I'm going to have to try and deal with these people and I'm
expecting the runaround as I'm not the account holder. I might just bullshit and
say that I'm her. The curry muncher at the other end probably won't notice the
difference, anyway.
I would prefer to take the bill (we got the first one the other day) into the
local Optus store where she bought it from and deal with them face to face. But
I work 12hrs and I can't get off til well after the store's closed.
Before you jump down a poor reps throat, you might want to read the
conditions for activating roaming, directly from the Optus web site
Cut and pasted directly from the site
Is AutoRoamT active on my account?
AutoRoamT is not automatically activated on monthly-billed Mobile Plan
accounts. However, you may have been sent an SMS from Optus notifying you
that roaming has been enabled on your account. If you have not been notified
or are not sure whether Roaming is activated on your account, please call
Optus Customer Care on 1300 300 937 before you leave Australia.
Roaming activation usually requires a bond to be paid if you are requesting
roaming in the first 3 months of service, until you show a capacity to pay
your bills on time.

Yes, that's correct. But when she got the phone activated Optus was also
supposed to activate international roaming. This was before she left the Optus
shop. The droid "confirmed" it to her.
And she couldn't test it until she got to the US.
What more is she supposed to do? Ring Optus every day to confirm that IR is
still active?

I called Optus to get it turned on. The woman said that my wife had to request
it. No arguing with the woman as she would not consider it til my wife call
Optus in Oz from the US.
Now, if she's told that she needs to pay a bond up front I can see on N95i being
rammed up the arse of a sales rep when she gets home. She bought this phone
specifically for the 3G features that she'd want to use when OS.
Thing is, we haven't even got the first bill, yet. So, if they do pull that
card, my wife will be mightly pissed off.

I had a look. I didn't see this. If it's on this page I must be more blind than
I thought.

this year.

Either that, or there are going to be a lot of very pissed off AT&T
iPhone 3G customers.

AT&T is progressively rolling out its 3G network and where my wife is there is
coverage. Not sure about London, though. I haven't checked.
Anyway, an update. I called Optus yesterday but they wouldn't deal with me,
despite me begging and pleading and figuratively speaking, pushing my blind and
deaf leper child in front of me asking for special dispensation.
The missus eventually called Optus and got the runaround for about half an hour
(not flash when calling from O/S). They got it activated, but then they told her
about the bond. My wife exploded saying that none of this stuff was mentioned
when she bought the phone at the Optus shop and which the staff there was told
explicitly that the phone was being purchased for her overseas travel and that
yes, all roaming stuff would be activated, no mentioning of bonds or whatever.
The Optus person then conceded a bit and said that as her bill had just been
issued (I recieved it here two days ago), that if she pays that now then they'll
waive the bond. Which she did.
Anyway, she got a pre-paid SIM from a local ATT outlet. And that's working fine.
Although she said that she's charged to RECEIVE SMSes as well as to send them.
How wonderful that is. Imagine getting onto one of those advertising scam SMS
lists and having to pay to receive spam SMSes...

No one is stopping her from using them, it just may not be on Optus.

For privacy reasons they cant make any changes to the account without her
permission.

Tell your wife to suck it up and deal with it, like a man. She fucked up.
You arent entitled to IntRoam and if she's never received or paid a bill,
she's a credit risk.

They have her permission, you stupid pig ignorant illiterate dunny cleaning fuckwit child.
In fact they actually have here DEMAND to do that, you stupid pig ignorant illiterate dunny cleaning fuckwit child.

It could be if she's headed to say, Connecticut which is over the border from
where she currently is.
In any case I was refering to the next leg of her journey.

Oh, if you were face to face with me, gutless, sanctimonious arsehole.
And illiterate too. Read what I posted about the Optus sales droid being asked
to activate international roaming and he acknowledging that it would be.
Any wonder you cop all this crap from the others in the newsgroup.

Optus need her DIRECT permission

No use trying to get through to him. Although I'm surprised that he isn't
jumping on the "Let's shitcan Optus and Optus Stores" band wagon.
I thought that I made it clear when I told the tale. That in the store we asked
the following questions:
1. Will this phone (the N95i or 8 gig version) roam in the US and in the UK?
2. Can you please ensure that international roaming is enabled when you activate
the account?
3. We are getting this particular phone because of its 3G capabilities and the
other features that it has, ie. GPS, etc. Can we download maps of New York,
London and Paris?
And we reiterated to the guy that we decided to get this phone because we wanted
to use it overseas in New York, London and Paris.
Anyway, it doesn't matter, now. It's activated. So when she gets off the plane
at LHR and in Singapore she'll be able to call the shuttle bus or whatever
arrangements that she's made to come and collect her to take her to the hotel.
We knew nothing about the bond until someone here mentioned it and when my wife
discovered that she needed to pay it when she rang up from New York. You woulda
thunkit that the sales droid would have known all this information. Clearly he
did not. His product knowledge, as it is for most of them, it seems, is clearly
lacking. It reflects on the organisation and the management who supposedly run
these stores and indicates a lack of professionalism on their part.
It's all well and good to get 18yo chicky babes in there who'll bat their
eyelids and get the lads to buy the most expensive phone that they can't afford.
Unfortunately for me at least, the guy that we dealt with was (a) a fellow and
(b) was old enough to have his mind more on the job than either say footy
training that night or when he's gonna get his next root.
Suffice it to say, Optus will be receiving a rather stern letter (and a copy to
be sent to Optusworld in town) from SWIMPO when she gets home.

Yeah, its one of the real downsides with roaming, there isnt any way
to test whether its been enabled properly till you get there and FAR
too many of the store apes cant even manage to get the basics right.
Corse roaming isnt actually much use, its much better to
stick a sim that you get from the wogs in the phone instead.

There's a reason that the best it can manage in the
current very tight labor market is a salesfuckwit.

Its hard for them too with the very tight labor market we have.
Tho in this case, the clowns should have it all spelt out on their web site.

Trouble is that he doesnt have enough viable between his ears
to get a real job even in the current very tight labor market.

Just spoke to the missus. She's currently in London, flying home tomorrow. She
went through the various menus on the phone with me to make sure that she had it
set up right. In auto for network connections it would not connect to anything.
She then selected manual and got a list of available networks. She chose them
all, one at a time, obviously. Then tried to make a call. Just got an error
beep.
She put the Vodaphone SIM back in and called me back.
She then asked me. "who's this Michael dick that abused you? Talk about rude!"
Eh?
Apparently she was on the net searching for info on global roaming to see what
the go is and she came across this thread. Or one of them. She said, "didn't he
read the entire message?"
I said. "I doubt it. He tends to shoot from the lip as it were and cops this all
the time from others."
Anyway, she's gonna do whatever she can to terminate the contract with Optus
when she gets home. And it all centres on the salesman at Optus World lying to
her saying that it will global roam and it's set up for it, etc..
Interesting times ahead.
Anyway, apparently London's very nice, as is Paris, but fucking expensive to
live there. And we could take a tip or two from their taxi services,
particularly Melbourne.
Personally, I'll be glad when it's all over. I'm starting to run out of clean
clothes...

Get her to reread mine about Bobbiting if you dare.

Too soggy for me. And there's all those bloody poms and bombers too.

I've always thought the poms had the silliest ideas,
their unique vehicles used for taxis in spades.
They do make their monkeys know their routes tho.

You wont be if she gets a bit carried away with the Bobbitting.

She just overlooked the fact that her husband doesnt know the basics of the
Privacy Act

No. Same thing happened. Get a few networks, try to connect to them then try to
make a call and got error beeps.

That ain't the half of it. I had a laptop set up in the family room with Yawcam
running (the laptop has a web cam). She wanted to log in from time to time to
check things out. So, I had to make sure that the joint wasn't a mess...

OK, clearly Optarse has fucked up all over again.
Time for a comprehensive Bobbitting when she gets home.

The Privacy Act does NOT prevent him passing on the message
that they fucked up the roaming completely, you stupid pig ignorant
completely illiterate arse licking dunny cleaning fuckwit child.

Nope, if they cant deliver what the customer paid for, they get to provide a full refund,
you stupid pig ignorant completely illiterate arse licking dunny cleaning fuckwit child.
