Ev Ooi Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi all, I recently moved to Australia and I have this problem bugging me much. During this transitional period, I still maintain my home country mobile and I'm getting calls on it frequently. I don't want to take my calls selectively, but I also don't want to pay exorbitant international roaming fees. Can anyone suggest a service that lets me receive calls on my home country mobile without the roaming charges? Some sort of international call-forwarding. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, Ev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'd ditch the plan and move over to an Aus one asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiralx Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 If it's an iPhone and the callers also have an Apple product (iPhone or iPad), and you both have access to wifi, then use FaceTime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest90395 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 If you are on an O2 contract then you can use TuGo which allows you to make and receive calls/texts using your UK allowances (when on wireless). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got me an Aus mobile number the moment I got here, but the amount of work involved to update all my callers (on my old mobile) about my new number is crazy.

I'm afraid I don't use an iPhone. Besides, the callers that I'm facing this problem are mostly clients, banks, agents - people that don't usually use voip in their line of work.

Ev Ooi Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Is it able to receive incoming calls on my home country mobile? I'm currently using a Malaysian mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackDingo Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Calling Malaysia will only cost 1 cent or free from most of the provider, why not instead you call them always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
