Optus said the failure in the triple zero network was triggered by a routine upgrade to a firewall around 12.30 in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Industry experts say that the company may face more than $ 10 million fines and other legal penalties as a result of the deduction.
Failure affected approximately 600 optus customers in South Australia, Northern region and Western Australia, where calls for emergency number failed.
On Sunday, SA police said that “no other negative results have been reported ,, and the interruptions have completed their welfare controls for the entire 154 Optus customers affected.
South Australian woman Kirsty McPherson said that a notification of her mother’s autumn necklace was the first warning that something was going wrong.
Elizabeth McPherson, 75, was preparing for a trip when he collapsed and accidentally lowered his scooter.
“I got the warning, and the only thing I could hear was screaming, Kirs said Kirsty.
Adelaide mother and daughter Elizabeth McPherson, 75 and Kirsty McPherson, 46.
Kirsty, who worked more than 40 minutes away from his mother’s house, immediately called a triple zero, but the call from his mobile phone failed. Shortly after, it was able to contact emergency services over a fixed line.
Kirsty did not realize that there was a widespread interruption until he got a call from Optus 24 hours later, and he still asked if he was still needing help.
As an old triple call buyer, he said that people were “angry and shock ında about delayed welfare controls for life -threatening moments.
“It could be very different, my mother could have been stuck under this scooter for 40 minutes, and she could have more important injuries than a lump in the head and a painful back,” he said.
The deduction is not a one -time, says Sydney man
Optus now questioned whether the network outage reported by the telecommunication giant on Friday, the Ugo Tellini, who lived at Sydney’s breakfast in the inner West of Sydney, is now at least at least a disastrous triple zero failure.
In June, Sydney Man Ugo Tellini’s phone is a screenshot of Triple Zero call attempts.
The 74 -year -old boy said he was forced to crawl into his car to be taken to the hospital early in the morning after he could not call Triple Zero in the Optus network in June.
Tellini and his wife, who did not want to give the name, optus in June, early in the morning when he wakes up from a nerve stuck in the spine, they warned that they could not connect to the emergency triple zero network.
However, although they complain about Optus calls and Australian communication and media authority, they say they have never received an apology.
Optus was contacted for comment.
The story of Tellini raises new questions about the scope of Optus’s problems. Later, after learning that there was a nerve stuck in the backbone, he said that he woke up in “full pain ..
He successfully called his sleeping wife in the next room and asked him to call an ambulance.
His wife, an Optus customer, tried to call three Zero 11 times, but could not be connected to the network. He was able to call the Concord Hospital, but they were told that they couldn’t set an ambulance.
They then used Tellini’s phone.
Telecommunication is the customer of Amaysim, a subsidiary of Optus, which uses Giant’s network. They tried to call Triple seven times on this phone, but they failed.
A screenshot of Tellini’s phone shows seven calls between 1.01 and 1.17 displayed as “canceled”.

Tellini and his wife brought up the problem with Optus, but I was told that there was no problem with the network that night. He said the answer was “uncertain” and “surprising ..
“This is not about me, but they must have learned what happened to me,” he said.
“If they move on, this may not be again to other poor people.”
