Chris Lane, group director products & delivery, Optus Consumer, said that the service could be provided on most mobile handsets. However, some will require a new SIM card, which can be obtained free of charge from any Optus World store. The service allows customers to save up to 500 contacts.
"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," 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.
