I would suggest your SMS issues would be caused by whoever is issuing<br>
the SMS using Optus - not so much by the Telstra end receiving it.<br>
<br>
Anecdotally, Optus enterprise/wholesale appears to be still functional<br>
- at least my link appears to be working fine - and my BGP<br>
advertisements are still being seen overseas - seems to be only NBN<br>
and mobile based services which are busted<br>
