I got a call from them also, only rang once. It appears to be Optus

Optus but some indian guy that i did not understand a word he said !!!!

talk about fffing annoying, they call for all of about 10 seconds then hang up right as you grab the phone and they don't call back...

Yes it is Optus IT, acting on behalf of VIRGIN MOBILE in Australia.
It is quite right to say I did not understand a single word he said as he was from India.
Another Curry Muncher in the Mobile Business!!!!!!!

Yes, definitely Optus. They don't leave a message, just keep calling back indefinitely until you eventually answer!

They said it was Vodaphone and they were asking for someone that was not me.

have had this number call twice today both times left messages as I wasnt home - only trouble is messages are so faint cannot hear them - oh well I guess they will call back if they need to

Lady said she was from Optus and they've fixed my account and adjusted my cap, etc etc.
I yelled at her that I had no idea what the hell she was on about and who was she, asking her to identify herself, immediately hung up.

Was a legit call to set up my new Optus ADSL connection

A few days earlier, I applied to change my home phone, broadband and mobile services from Bigpond over to Optus. Today. a guy with a strong Indian accent called me on my home phone. He wanted to know who my current phone carrier was. I told him Bigpond. He then asked me to confirm my date of birth. Suspecting something, I made up a false date. He did not question my answer. He went on to ask for my Bigpond account number. I told him I did not have it available, so he said he will call me tomorrow at around 11am. I thanked him very kindly, and promised to have the details ready.

11:58pm Got a call from the same guy ‘Jai” or ‘Jay’ supposedly from Optus, on (02)8956 6000. He wanted my Bigpond account number, which I said I didn’t have. He said to call Bigpond to get it, and he will ring back in 3 hours. I went to Optus website and chatted online with a rep. She told me that our order had already been processed OK, and that they have all the necessary details. So I can safely ignore the man.

In my case it was OPTUS calling me regarding a faulty landline that I reported. It was to check if all was OK after the technician repaired the line. Great service & customer care I think.
