Messaging with Optus

Messaging is a fast, convenient and easy way to get in touch with our customer service team.

Messaging is available in My Optus app and throughout optus.com.au, and it can be used at any time. Our Digital Assistant will greet you and ask you a few questions to make sure we put you in touch with a subject matter expert. Our experts will message you back with an answer to your query as soon as possible.

Unlike our previous Live Chat, your messaging history is kept for your reference so you can pick up the conversation where you left off. There is no need to repeat yourself or wait on hold, just be sure to log in. 

Messaging is:

  1. Fast
