Default Beware Optus when contract expires

I decided to give Optus mobile a try for 12 months, thankfully my contract is about to expire.

For the last 2 weeks I've been getting phone calls asking me to recontract.

I kept saying no. Today's attempt, the operator that called asked me to verify who I was to which I replied "I'm the person you called". When I quizzed her she provided my full name and day of birth. (I didn't give her any info).

After ending the call, I received an SMS and email confirming "recontract".

I immediately rang Opt@ss to report the contract was unauthorised. I provided the initial operator's ID; it reportedly doesn't exist.

Optus claimed the contract was processed online. After I disputed that, they then said it was completed by their department overseas. A couple of operators later, I was told they are unable to reverse the contract without investigation. They will get back to me within 5 days.

For the purposes of saying no to the contract, I agreed to being recorded. My advice... just hang up.
