Optus offers support to customers affected by severe weather events across NSW

Optus has announced it will offer a range of support measures for customers impacted by severe weather events across NSW.

Optus Managing Director, Marketing & Revenue Matt Williams said: “We have all seen the frightening images of rising flood waters and pounding rain across parts of the mid north coast of NSW and greater Sydney.”

“In these times, we understand the importance of providing the support and peace of mind in the communities we operate in while keeping family, friends and loved ones connected.”

“Today, Optus has a clear message for customers – we are here to help and when you need us, let us know what support we can provide you.”

According to Mr Williams, different customers require different support at times like these.

“Whether a customer needs a bonus data boost, call diversions, service suspension, free prepaid credit or a bill waiver, we have a range of support options depending on individual needs.”

“Importantly they may not immediately know what support they need, so for Optus, providing flexibility and the reassurance that we are here to help is the best thing we can do right now.”

Optus has established a dedicated contact number for Flood and Storm affected customers.

“We also have a world class messenger service via the My Optus App that allows customers to connect with us, let us know what they need and then leave it with us to create the best solutions.”

Alternately, Mr Williams recommended connecting digitally online at optus.com.au,  and through the online peer support network Optus Yes Crowd.  For the latest updates click here.
