View Terms and Conditions

AutoRoam™ is not automatically connected with an Optus Digital Mobile service. Customers need to arrange connection before they go overseas. AutoRoam rates are subject to change without notice, due to fluctuations in international currency exchange rates and changes to charges imposed by the overseas network. AutoRoam activation is subject to acceptance by Optus and can be terminated without notice. Optus makes no warranty regarding the quality and availability of coverage on any services (e.g. SMS, GPRS). Available to Optus Mobile Digital customers and participating Service Providers. It may take several months for roaming charges to appear on your bill.

Some networks may operate on a frequency that is not compatible with your handset and you may therefore need to rent a handset. For countries where AutoRoam is not available, a different mobile number can be used.
