How much does AutoRoam™ cost?

When you make a call or send an SMS you will be charged the rate for the zone you are in. When someone calls you (from Australia or overseas), they will be charged the normal cost of a call or SMS to an Optus mobile in Australia.

You pay Optus' zone rate for receiving calls in the country you are roaming in, as below. If a received call is diverted to VoiceMail because you do not answer or because your phone is busy, you will also be charged the international call rate for the applicable zone to divert the caller back to your VoiceMail box in Australia. These charges may be minimised by setting an “unconditional” diversion to VoiceMail, so that all incoming calls are sent directly to your VoiceMail rather than to your overseas destination.
