Individual Numbers

  1. The Cooee Lite product line is intended for personal use. It is not intended to be used as a power dialer, or to make repeated calls.

We will attempt to warn you before doing this, if we have contact details for you.

  2. If we limit your usage as per the above clause, then notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in a EULA, you may agree to a pro-rata refund of any remaining portion of your subscription, provided that the method of purchase allows this.

  3. Instead of limiting your service, we may also at our discretion provide a pro-rata refund and close your account.

Third Parties

  1. Although all numbers we use are standard Australian mobile numbers we make no warranty as to whether any third party service will send an SMS to your Cooee number. As is common amongst mobile carriers, numbers are reused. If it appears your number has been blocked by a third party service, you may contact our customer support team who will swap your number once.

Frequently asked questions

How will this work on my device?

Cooee uses software (VoIP) to connect Australian telco infrastructure to the internet. This allows Cooee to route calls and SMS to your Aussie mobile number to any web based browser or the Cooee app. No SIM card required! All you need is an internet connection and we’ll take care of the rest. Of course we will provide you with a new number while you wait so you can use all the Cooee functionality from day 1.

No SIM card required, just install the Cooee app, connect to your WiFi or internet hotspot and you will be able to send and receive calls and SMS to your Australian mobile number.

The Cooee app works exactly like a regular SIM card. All you need is an internet connection and all calls and SMS to your Australian mobile number will be routed through the Cooee app.

Absolutely! Please be aware the transfer of numbers can take 3 – 5 business days and requires that you provide details on your existing contract in line with Australian porting requirements. Please contact our support team and we will support the creation of a porting request.

Cooee works the same way as a dual SIM would. Pick and choose which number you want to use and simply use dial and SMS features native to your device or via any browser. Cooee runs in the background and if you receive a communication from anyone you’ll receive it the way you receive a WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger call.

You can receive calls and SMS on both Cooee and a traditional SIM. The only difference is that the Cooee app requires an internet connection.

Yes! Cooee works exactly like a second phone number, just without the SIM card! You can manage SMS and call notifications and access as if it were your work phone. Divert to voicemail, catch up on your comms next week. Ignore/block certain people.

Cooee uses a Wi-Fi or 3G/4G/5G data connection on your handset or tablet to ensure excellent digital sound quality. We do our best to configure audio based on your internet connection. From time to time you may experience a drop off in quality, particularly in areas where network coverage isn’t strong, and we suggest changing locations or switching to Wi-Fi to get the best out of the service.

Unfortunately Cooee does not support calling emergency numbers in order to avoid the use of Australian emergency numbers from outside the Australia. Your local SIM cards should be used to make emergency calls.

Unfortunately not. Our service rides off existing data plans in your home country. While we would love to include data in our plans at this stage we are focusing on giving you the best telecommunications experience we can.
Subscriptions & Payments

We believe in keeping things simple. We offer either a quarterly or annual plan for our Cooee Lite product. Both options include credit for calls and text.

Use the My Account link on in our application and click manage subscription icon. This will show you remaining time under contract and give you the option of de-activating at the end of the upcoming cycle.

No worries – we kick off all of our subscriptions with a free trial period to make sure you can try our application before you subscribe. Any issues you can contact us and we can walk you through set up and functionality. We know you’ll love Cooee because we do, but if for any reason an Aussie Virtual SIM is not for you can cancel before the end of the trial period.

We take payments via Visa, Mastercard and PayPal.

Cooee is a subscription service. As long you have fulfilled your the terms of your subscription, you may terminate your Cooee account andleave us at any time. If you wish to terminate your account, please contact Support and we will cancel your subscription immediately. You will have full access to your Cooee number for the remainder of the month.

In your welcome email you will have a link where you can manage your subscription and cancel at anytime. Alternatively you can contact support and we will close your account for you.
Data and Privacy

No, your Cooee number will appear in the same way as any other Australian mobile or landline number. You can even hide caller ID if you would like to remain anonymous.

For registration purposes Cooee requires some personal information to verify your identity and meet regulatory requirements. Some additional information may be stored for your benefit but will never be shared. We do not sell, or export your personal information, all personal information stored by Cooee is for purposes disclaimed to you in our terms and conditions. If you have any further questions around use of personal data we suggest you review our Data Privacy Policy here.

Sensitive customer data is encrypted and stored securely in line with best practice data security standards. We take data protection and privacy seriously and make every effort to protect your personal information.
