0290278000

i also had 3 missed calls from this number today at 20 minute intervals. Interestingly, i did call optus customer support (my mobile carrier) yesterday with a query.

It's optus customer care wanting to do a survey about a recent query you may have had recently, and you just give them a 0 to 10 scoring of how helpful the Optus Rep had helped you out with. I don't see this as an annoying telemarking call as it helps them with their training. In the end you'd get better customer support in the long run.

Hi... I recieved a call from this number about 20 minutes ago. I have recently emailed optus about my current bill and why I haven't recieved it... Makes sense that this number is calling me for a customer care survey to see how they handled my query... I think the whole "Scam" Idea is a load of ... and I also think the whole optus giving your details out is a load of ... also. Somke people just love to gossip and make stuff up!

i had a call from 029027-8000 , just two or three rings . the day after i gave them the sack and ported my number . i think it's legit .

I got a call from this number as well. Only had 2 rings and i picked it up and they hung up. Didn't leave a message or anything.

ITS OPTUS.
the optus Team Leader called me back from this number.
Optus post paid mobile team.
they're based in Manila Phillipines.

I received calls from 02 90278000 and 03 90334560 all day last Friday, ,the last one at 11.45pm,it seemed (At least in my case) to be an automated survey about your experince with Optus,I had called them after my phone wouldn't work one day last week and the tech support people told me how to fix it.
Not happy with their survey though and I told them so this morning

Just received a call from 02 9027 8000 on my mobile and I didn't bother answering due to a prior bad experience answering a call I didn't recognise. If it is Optus, they should have left a message with the problem/matter and a number to ring them back on. In the past, Optus have sent me text messages e.g. advising of someone coming out to connect my landline etc. So, suspect huh?

I have had approx 40 calls from this number over the last 3 months. I have never called back because I figure 1. If they really want to talk to me they will leave a message and 2. I live in Victoria and this has a NSW postcode - I don't know anyone in NSW....I think this one is a scam.

How do I stop them calling?

My mobile phone rang on 26 Oct 09 at 16:59 in Qld time! Did not recognise the number so did not answer, did not ring long enough either. The same number rang my mobile again next morning at 09:09 while left switched off, no message. Well I thought about a number of possibilities, then turned to computer and did an internet search...then this err issue. Well, it is not as bad as not showing the number I guess...

I missed the call from this number today, I was wondering why they didn't left me voice mail. Now I learned from you guys it's Optus. I just asked for sacking Optus for my mobile phone services, they must be calling me for this reason.

It's Optus sales pestering customers. Ring Customer Care on 1300 300 937 and ask for the number to be blocked. They will resist so you have to insist that you want this to stop. They can stop it if you are insistent enough - if you don't the call will keep coming all day long.

Dreadful scam but that's Optus...

I suspect it's revenue raising by Optus, my friend lost her mobile and has had the calls redirected to a new # which attracts a surcharge - suddenly 3 calls from them today - smarter than Ned Kelly!!!!

I had a dispute with Optus about a fee charged on my account, had this number call me. Picked up, no voice. Call disconnected after 5 seconds.
Called back, it did the whole Optus spiel telling me to contact their main numbers.

why you ring me this number 02 9027 8000
i cant answer you iam deaf i cant haer ring voice
if you ring me i wont answer you iam deaf
that only text with mobile only

Optus calling requesting me to review their call centre after I called them earlier that day.

I just got a call from 02 9027 8000, but they asked for my daughter, and then they said nothing to be worried about just a survet

I just had 3 calls from this number in less than 4 minutes.. each time I rejected the call, they called straight back again. Next time they call i'm going to abuse them.. they should get the hint.

This is OPTUS. They rang me once, I didn't answer - they rang back and I answered. The woman had an accent and the line was bad...definitely an overseas call. She said that she was conducting RESEARCH. I said no and hung up.

It is Optus. I got so frustrated with customer service that I hung up in disgust (right after asking for a supervisor... LOL), that number called me 10 seconds later, and has called a further 3 times in the past 15 mins...

So it's not a scam, probably just the exit number for their internal phone system to call Australian phones, which means that many parts of Optus, and their outsourced call centres, will appear to be calling from that #
