Optus is concerned that some customers may be being misinformed or misled by non-Optus related entities that are making claims that Optus customers can make free, or included cap value, international calls on their Optus Plan. This is not correct. International calls within the meaning of your Optus Mobile Standard Form of Agreement for all Timeless and Cap plans includes calls that re-route or divert to international numbers. If you are on a Timeless or Cap plan, all calls made to any number that re-routes, diverts or switches to an international number is an international call and is charged from 29c per minute with a 27c flagfall. International calls are not included as part of your Timeless unlimited offer, and are excluded from some Cap plans included value. A complete copy of the Standard Form of Agreement can be viewed at www.optus.com.au/sfoa |
Please note that standard international roaming and standard diversion charges
are charged as per your rate plan
