As a result of recent events, we understand this is a distressing time for customers with family and friends in the Middle East, and those travelling in the region.
We are supporting our postpaid customers by:
● Crediting international calling and SMS charges for calls from Australia to Bahrain, Iran, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates that are made from 28 February 2026 until the offer is withdrawn.
● Crediting international roaming charges for roaming usage in Bahrain, Iran, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in the period from 28th February 2026 until the offer is withdrawn.
These offers are available to eligible Consumer and Business customers on selected postpaid plans. For more information, please visit our website → https://www.optus.com.au/support/international-support
For those traveling in the region, there may be increased network congestion or intermittent disruptions due to local infrastructure impacts.
We will continue to monitor developments and provide updates.
