The Optus Commitment

Our guarantee to you

Our commitment* is to aim to bring you the most reliable phone service in Australia.

We guarantee to keep our appointments

There’s nothing more frustrating than waiting around for a service call.

That’s why, when you make an appointment for an Optus technician to call at your premises, to either install

your service or repair a fault, we guarantee we’ll arrive within the agreed time frame.

Naturally, if there are emergencies or hitches that are out of our control (such as extreme weather conditions)

it may be necessary for you or Optus to reschedule the appointment. If this happens, we commit to providing

you with reasonable notice of the change.

We guarantee the time of your connection

When you request to be connected to Optus Local, we guarantee your connection will be made within

5 working days of the installation date you requested or within 2 days if the service can be

automatically connected.

In the event that Optus needs to meet other requirements such as local government regulations or permission

to cross another person’s land, or you agree to waive your customer service guarantee rights due to a special

offer or plan, your connection may take a little longer. In this case, we guarantee to complete your connection

by an agreed date.

2 THE OPTUS COMMITMENT

4114645E 0411 166323.indd 2 7/04/11 10:40 AM

We guarantee repairs will be made quickly

If you have a service fault, and your property is in the metropolitan area, Optus guarantees to repair the fault

by the end of the first working day after you reported it.

We guarantee our customer service

In the unlikely event that the performance standards for the phone services that we supply are not met, you

may be entitled to compensation under the Customer Service Guarantee.

This could cover delays in installation, late appointments, inability to use selected phone features or inability

to make or receive calls.

The level of your compensation is calculated on each working day of delay exceeding the guaranteed

maximum period. If the delay extends beyond 5 working days, the per day amount is increased.

There are exemptions for situations out of Optus’ control. In some circumstances, you may waive your rights

to the Customer Service Guarantee.

If you have any questions about the Optus Commitment*, please call our friendly Optus Customer Service

team on 133 937. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) can also provide you with

additional information on the Customer Service Guarantee.

The Optus Commitment covers the Standard Phone Service, which is your phone line, Call Barring, Call Waiting, Call

Divert, Calling Number Display and Calling Number Display Suppression.

4 MAKING CALLS

Making Calls

Making phone calls with Optus Local is simple and the same as you are used to.

The Optus network has been built to comply with national standards, which means you can use most phones,

faxes and modems with Optus Local.

No matter what sort of phone you’re using, here are some helpful hints to always bear in mind.

1. Always wait for a dial tone before you start dialling the number you wish to call.

2. During thunderstorms, any electrical appliance may cause personal injury

(or in extreme cases, a fatality).

With your safety in mind:

• Avoid using your phone during thunderstorms.

• If you need to make an urgent call, keep it short.

3. If you hear fax or computer tones, hang up immediately and check that you have dialled

the right number. Sometimes these tones (if not expected) can be high pitched and

therefore alarming.

4. In rare cases you may receive unwelcome calls. If this should happen, hang up immediately. Calls

that threaten you or your property should always be reported to the police.

If unwelcome calls continue, contact Optus Customer Service.

5. Optus Local calls disconnect as soon as you put the receiver down.

So to avoid over billing, if you receive a call and want to use another phone in your house, leave the

first phone off the hook until you have picked up the second phone.

6. Hearing aid compatibility – A corded standard touch tone phone provides magnetic coupling from

the handset receiver suitable for use with hearing aids having a T switch. Some cordless phones do

not provide this feature and you need to check with your phone supplier.

Calling Number Display

Calling Number Display (CND) means that when you make a call, your number will be sent to the phone of the

person you are calling.

If they have a display phone they will be able to see your number. If they don’t have a display phone, they can

tell you were the last caller by using a call return feature.

Optus Local CND is automatically blocked. However, you can choose to unblock CND and to send your phone

number. This means that when you make calls, friends and family instantly know it’s you. Or if they are on

another call, they can see you are trying to get through and can call you back.

Note: Your number will be automatically sent when a call is placed to an Emergency Service Number. This is

regardless of your CND status.

CALLING NUMBER DISPLAY 5

HOW TO CONTROL SENDING YOUR NUMBER

There are two ways to control sending your number:

1. You can permanently send your number.

Simply phone Optus Customer Service on 133 937 and make the request.

2. You can send your number on a per call basis.

Dial 1832, wait for dial tone and then dial the number you wish to call.

When you send your number permanently:

• People will know it’s you, as they’ll see your phone number before they answer your call.

• If you want to block your number for a particular call, simply dial 1831,wait for dial tone and then dial

the number you wish to call.

• If at any time, you want to change your selection so that you permanently block your number, you can

do so by phoning Optus Customer Service.

How to check your CND Status

To find out whether your number is being displayed when you make a call, please call 1300 554 536.

A recorded announcement will tell you whether your phone number is currently displaying to

people you call.

4114645E 0411 166323.indd 5 7/04/11 10:40 AM

VoiceMail

You will never miss a call again. With VoiceMail, callers will hear your own personal greeting when you can’t

get to the phone and will be able to leave you a message.

It’s simple. A special ‘message waiting’ dial tone lets you know as soon as you lift the receiver if there are any

messages for you. Once you’ve accessed the service, a voice prompt guides you through the steps.

When you collect your messages you can use VoiceMail Call Return to simply return the call.

No need to write down the number and then dial it – VoiceMail Call Return does this for you.

You’ll never need an alarm clock again. You can use VoiceMail as a wake up or reminder service.

If you don’t have VoiceMail and wish to use this feature, please contact Optus customer service on 133 937 for

further information.

For useful information about changing your PIN and recording your own personal greeting, see page 13.

6 VOICEMAIL

SETTING UP VOICEMAIL

The first thing you need to do is set up your own Personal Identification Number (PIN) and personal

greeting. To do this, follow the steps below.

STEP 1

Simply dial * 9 6 on a standard touch tone phone.

STEP 2

Once you have accessed the service you will be prompted to set up your own PIN (it can be anything

from 4 to 9 digits long) and record your personal greeting and name. This will be followed by a detailed

tutorial for the VoiceMail service.

HANDY HINT

The first time you access VoiceMail use the last four digits of your phone number as your PIN.

For example, if your phone number is (02) 9111 3465, you should type in 3 4 6 5 .

4114645E 0411 166323.indd 6 7/04/11 10:40 AM

VOICEMAIL 7

What your callers will hear

After hearing your personal greeting, your caller will be able to leave a message and in most cases their

number will be recorded automatically. If they know they’re not going to be contactable on the number they

are calling on, they can press # at the end of their message and dial in another phone number they can

be contacted on, e.g. their mobile number.

HANDY HINT

When you record your personal greeting, you can ask callers to press # at the end of their message

if they want to leave a call back number.

HOW TO LISTEN TO MESSAGES AT HOME

FOR STANDARD TOUCH TONE PHONES

STEP 1

Lift the receiver. A ‘message waiting’ dial tone (a fast but interrupted dial tone) indicates that you

have messages.

STEP 2

Simply dial * 9 6 on a standard touch tone phone.

STEP 3

You are now connected to VoiceMail. You will be prompted with easy to follow instructions.

For useful information about changing your PIN and recording your own personal greeting, see page 13.

HANDY HINT

Optus Voicemail is great way to never miss a call, but If your handset has a built-in answering

machine and you prefer to use this, please ensure you configure your answering machine to pick up

the call before our Voicemail does. This way you can still use your Optus Voicemail to catch calls

even when the line is busy!

8 VOICEMAIL

HOW TO LISTEN TO MESSAGES WHEN YOU’RE NOT AT HOME

FOR STANDARD TOUCH TONE PHONES

STEP 1

Lift the receiver.

STEP 2

Dial 133 321.

STEP 3

Enter your VoiceMail number (your phone number including area code) followed by #. For example, if

your phone number is (02) 1234 5678, enter all numbers followed by #.

STEP 4

Enter your PIN, followed by #.

Remember, every time you access your VoiceMail box from another fixed line phone you will be charged

the 13/1300 call rate, no matter where you call from within Australia. Calls from mobile phones are

charged at the applicable mobile rate.
