Did you know that you can keep receiving calls on your Australian number whilst using the USA Sim Card?
If receiving calls on your Australian mobile or Australian landline is important for you when you're in the USA, we offer a call forwarding service we call "Follow Me".
How does it work? We rent you a virtual Australia landline number (your "Follow Me" number) for the duration of your trip and we divert that number to your USA mobile number. All you need to do is divert your Australian mobile or Australian landline to your Follow Me number. So when someone calls your Australian number, it will instantly divert to your USA mobile number!
Please note that your "Follow Me" number does not divert text messages to your USA mobile number (but you can simply insert your Australian sim card into your phone at anytime when you're in the USA to collect your Australian SMS/text messages and then put the USA Sim Card back in and reply to them).
The cost for a "Follow Me" number is set out below:
Number of included minutes | Cost | Validity |
100 | $20 (ie $0.20/min) | 30 days |
250 | $40 (ie $0.16/min) | 30 days |
500 | $70 (ie $0.14/min) | 30 days |
1,000 | $100 (ie $0.10/min) | 30 days |
If you would like to order a Follow Me number, you'll need to wait until you receive your USA Sim Card, and then contact us at help@usaprepaidsimcard.com.au. You cannot order the Follow Me number with your original USA Sim Card purchase.
Important notes:
1. Included minutes are used in blocks of 1 minute. For example a call duration of 1m15sec will use 2 minutes of your Follow Me number.
2. Unused minutes are non-refundable.
3. Unused minutes do not roll-over if you're staying longer than 30 days and renew your "Follow Me" number.
4. Your Australian telco may charge you a per minute cost for diverting your Australian number to the "Follow Me" number - please check with your telco provider.
5. We cannot guarantee the quality of the call, because your call is travelling from Australia to the USA.
