The honest comparison
How does Keep My Number compare to Google Voice and amaysim for a Australian number abroad?
Keep My Number is designed for using an Australian number after moving overseas. Google Voice cannot port +61 numbers, while amaysim keeps the line tied to prepaid recharges, a SIM or eSIM, and roaming packs.

Australian number questions, answered.
Can I keep my Australian mobile number when moving abroad?
Yes, if your active +61 mobile number is eligible to transfer. Start before the old line is disconnected and keep it active through verification. Availability depends on the carrier and number type, so check eligibility before cancelling your existing service.
How do I transfer a Australian mobile number?
Request the transfer through the new provider while the old number is still active or suspended, not disconnected. Keep the account number and identity details ready. The old service normally closes automatically after a successful port.
How long does Australian mobile number porting take?
ACMA targets 90% of mobile ports within 3 hours and 99% within 2 business days. Individual providers may allow longer for verification; amaysim advises that some transfers take up to 3 business days.
Will bank verification codes and 2FA texts still arrive abroad?
Your transferred number remains a real +61 mobile number, so supported bank messages, one-time codes, and verification texts can keep arriving in the app. No provider can guarantee delivery from every bank or short-code sender.
Can Google Voice keep a Australian +61 number?
No. Personal Google Voice porting accepts active US mobile numbers only. Australian +61 mobile numbers are not eligible.
Can amaysim keep my Australian number overseas?
amaysim's A$15 AS YOU GO credit lasts 365 days, followed by a 90-day passive period. Calls and messages overseas rely on its SIM or eSIM and an eligible roaming pack; overseas Wi-Fi Calling is not guaranteed.
Can I use a local SIM or eSIM with my Australian number?
Yes. Keep My Number uses your internet connection, so you can use a local SIM or eSIM for data while receiving supported calls, texts, and verification codes sent to your +61 number.
