Keep an Australian Phone Number While Living Overseas
Moving overseas doesn't mean giving up your Australian phone number. With a ClicknCall Australian number (DID), your family, friends, bank and business contacts in Australia keep calling the same easy Australian number — and it rings on your mobile or computer wherever you are in the world. All for just $5 AUD per month, prepaid, with no contract.
How it works
- Open a ClicknCall account and add an Australian DID number for $5/month — choose a number in any major Australian city or town.
- Install a free SIP app on your iPhone or Android, or a softphone on your PC or Mac — or use a VoIP handset.
- When someone in Australia calls your number, it rings on your device anywhere with an Internet connection — London, New York, Singapore, anywhere.
- Can't answer or offline? The call goes to voicemail, and the message is emailed to you so you can listen when you wake up in your time zone.
Why Australian expats love it
- Pick your city or home town. Choose a number in any major Australian city or town — keep a Sydney number for business, or a number in your home town so calling you feels local to family.
- Your callers pay nothing extra. Mum dials an Australian number at her normal local rate (or free on her mobile plan) — no international dialling, no country codes, no confusion.
- Voicemail to email. Asleep while Australia is awake? Every missed call becomes an email with the voice message attached.
- Call home cheaply too. The same account makes outbound calls to Australia: 10¢ untimed to any Australian landline and 11¢/minute to Australian mobiles (AUD) — see our full rates.
- Show your Australian number when you call. With CallerID overstamping, calls you make display your Australian number, so people recognise you and can call you back.
- No contract, no bill shock. Everything is prepaid. No setup fee, no connection fee, no hidden fees.
- Australian owned and operated for over a decade.
