Introducing a simple and secure solution for backing up contacts stored on mobile phone SIM cards, Optus is offering its SIM Backup to all existing pre and post-paid customers. However, to take advantage of the service customers will need to get a new SIM card available from any Optus World store. Chris Lane, Group Director Products & Delivery, Optus Consumer said, “SIM Backup is an exciting new service only available from Optus. It is accessible on most mobile handsets with a compatible SIM card and allows Optus customers the ability to securely save up to 500 contacts. In being first to market with this exciting new service, we are once again proving our commitment to making life simple for customers. “People have come to rely heavily on mobile phones for storing important contact details. Anyone who’s lost a phone will know all too well the inconvenience of losing important contacts – not to mention the time consumed in resaving them. Whatever happens to a customer’s SIM card or handset, the SIM Backup service allows immediate access to all SIM contacts, storing them safely and securely on the Optus server. “SIM Backup can be activated by an Optus dealer, or self-activated online via Optus Zoo which is available to all active Optus mobile customers. Customers can view all contacts via Optus Zoo. By simply selecting SIM Backup from the Communicate menu on the Zoo portal, Optus customers will enjoy the freedom of updating and editing contacts on their SIM cards,” Lane said. SIM Backup operates seamlessly for the customer using a proprietary over the air technology to ensure that all information on the customer’s SIM is updated on a regular basis. Most handsets support the SIM Backup service, although should a new compatible SIM card be required, it can be provided free of charge at an Optus World dealer or by calling Optus Customer Service on 1300 300 309.
