2.2. Diversions - Diverting Your Number From Optus

In regards to the phone diversions, you will have to contact your telephone provider to set this up.

We do not arrange this.

However, we have been advised by Optus and our clients who use Optus, the following information:

Optus Call Divert allows your calls to be transferred to another number, including a mobile phone, pager or answering service.   You also have the option to choose specific numbers to be diverted, see options available for selective calls (link to anchor point in this page) for more details. 

You can deactivate or re-activate Call Divert from within My Optus Mobile. Find out what other services are in My Optus Mobile and register today. Or if you're already registered for My Optus Mobile then you can login here. (This service cannot be activated online for CDMA and MobileSat customers)
