Didn't you get an Optus Username and Password when you signed up?

I didn't get one either. Tried to sign up for one on the optus site but they need my account number which I will only get when I get my first inovice in the post.

Links for people who might have accidentally come across the old hotspot locations like I had (which only had domestic and international airports listed)
Hotspots Brisbane PDF warning
And Azure Many people are saying that Optus does allow the use of Azure hotspots, but does anybody have proof?
I'm on a 500MB plan so I don't know if I will need to actively seek out hotspots to use the net in the city, but as a backup for emergencies it couldn't hurt to have them marked in google maps. I guess if I had time to pass, I'd rather use someone else's internets than my own.

I'm in exactly the same boat. I'm going to call Optus tomorrow and see if they'll give me one.

I was told by our guy. But he didn't make an effort, rather just accidental mention - It should be on any 24 month contract
