As the wider Australian community begins transitioning to new arrangements, such as working from home more frequently and practicing self-distancing measures, staying connected with the people that make you smile has never been more important.
Whether it's messaging family overseas, or simply being able to tune in to your favourite Netflix series while on the couch, mobile phones remain the bread and butter of connectivity and our team is more determined than ever to do whatever it takes to keep you connected during this unusual period.
This way you can remain focused on what matters most, which is the health and safety of yourself and all your loved ones.
The internet is a magical place at the best of times, however with the current climate, staying connected on your mobile so you can stream, browse and contact loved ones is obviously very important.
Many of our mobile customers already have access to unlimited mobile data, however for our customers using $10, $20 or $30 UNLIMITED mobile plans, we’ll be providing extra data at no extra cost to help you stay connected during this time of change. It's honestly the least we could do.
If you're a customer using one of these plans, keep your eyes out for an email to advise you on the details of your extra data.
Yep you betcha.
We understand the importance of staying connected on your mobile phone during this period and want to ensure our customers have plenty of data to stay connected with friends, family and of course your favourite content.
If you've received an email and want to check your most up to date data balance, log on to My amaysim, or head to the main screen of the amaysim app.
Good question!
Many of our mobile plans already include loads of International inclusions, making it easy for customers to call and text friends and family overseas.
Our UNLIMITED plans include unlimited standard international talk and text to 19 countries, as well as unlimited standard international sms and mms to a further 13 countries.
For our heavy data users, the UNLIMITED 45GB and UNLIMITED 60GB plans also include an additional 300 minutes of standard international calls to even more countries, to help you stay in touch with friends and family overseas.
If you'd like to call a country outside these lists, check out our complete list of international call rates.
As an alternative to making international calls, you also have the option to make voice calls through popular messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, Skype or Facebook messenger.
This has become a very common method for people looking to touch base and connect with friends and family overseas, however, just be mindful that it will use data from your mobile plan to make the call if you're not connected to Wi-Fi.
