Optus Voicemail Features

Optus voicemail isn’t just about listening to messages. You’ve got a whole toolkit to manage missed calls like a pro:

• Call Diversions: Busy or can’t answer? Divert your calls straight to voicemail with a few taps through the app. Never miss a call again!
• Voice-to-Text: Forget listening! Convert those voicemails into text messages and read them on the go.
• Reminders and Notifications: Set reminders to call people back, and get SMS alerts when you’ve got new messages waiting.
• My App Management: You can easily add or remove your voicemail by using the MyOptus App.

Voicemail While Roaming – Stay Connected Globally

Heading overseas? Optus Voicemail’s got your back! Just keep in mind those roaming charges can add up:

• Accessing From Abroad: Dial +61411000321, followed by your full mobile number and PIN.
• International Roaming Charges: Check Optus’ roaming rates before you jet off to avoid any bill shock.

Be mindful that when you call voicemail from outside Australia, international roaming charges will be in place.

These can add up quickly, and the cost can vary depending on the country you’re in. To understand these rates and how you can manage costs, take a peek at conversations and advice found on Whirlpool Forums.

Remember, these charges will apply to both listening to and leaving messages, so it’s wise to check your options before you travel.

Final Thoughts!

Optus Voicemail is like your very own phone assistant, ready to catch those calls when life gets in the way. It’s incredibly easy to use and set up with no hassles.

I personally love the My App features and feel as if the overall service is incredibly easy to manage.
