I got caught too .
Friend of a friend bought a phone in Dubbo from Optus .
but, there's no Optus in Wellington .
Returned & was told to buy Telsa sim .
Second month , they have two bills , as Optus wouldn't cancel their useless account .I bought it & cancelled both accounts. Alas, that didn't work . The Optus still sent billing to original purchasers.
Optus told them to report phone as stolen to cancel all accounts . Leaving me with a stolen phone . That was in use with Optus before it was stolen . I could have paid $80 dollars to Optus to get it released . But stuff it . Those carrier's are just after your money & will sell you anything to get you hooked .
