Notifying you of a significant local outage

During a significant local outage, we will place a notification on the amaysim app, and information about outages can also be accessed from amaysim.com.au. Both will direct you to https://amaysim.statuspage.io/ where we will explain:

  • The scale or suspected scale of the outage
  • The cause or likely cause of the outage (where possible), including if the predominant cause of the outage is due to a natural disaster
  • The geographic areas impacted or likely to be impacted by the outage
  • The types of carriage services impacted or likely to be impacted by the outage
  • The estimated timeframes for updates in relation to the outage
  • The estimated timeframe for rectification of the outage

We will also make this information available via our call centre and https://amaysim.statuspage.io/.

Each notification will explain:

  • The scale or suspected scale of the outage
  • The cause or likely cause of the outage (where possible), including if the predominant cause of the outage is due to a natural disaster
  • The geographic areas impacted or likely to be impacted by the outage
  • The types of carriage services impacted or likely to be impacted by the outage

When we provide a notice to you about an outage, we will also explain how you can contact us to get additional information or assistance.

Updates during and after an outage

If a change occurs during an outage, we will make that information available as soon as we become aware of it via the notification channels described above.

Otherwise, we will provide updates every 6 hours within the first 24 hours of an outage and then once every 24 hours after that.

Where there is no change to an outage, we will advise accordingly.

As soon as possible, after we’ve been made aware that an outage has been rectified, we will publish additional notices to inform you of the network status.
