Making And Receiving Calls

Roaming is a convenient system that allows you to use the same mobile phone number that you have in the Cook Islands, while roaming overseas. This means that friends and family can still call or text you, as if you were still at home. Special rates apply for receiving calls or text messages while overseas. See below for more info.

Will My Mobile Work When I am Overseas?

Yes and No.
When you are roaming with your mobile phone it may not always work with the visited countries network. To assist us to determine if your phone will roam please call us on 123 and advise us of the following;

1. The country you will be travelling to
2. The type of phone you have

Things you need to know about Roaming
It is important to check that your mobile can roam when you head to your destination. Like most countries in the Pacific Region, Bluesky uses the 900 MHz frequency band.
However some countries in Europe use the 1800 MHz band. Most cell phones are dual band and can operate on both the 900 MHz band and the 1800 MHz band. The USA uses the 1900 MHz band, so if you are travelling to the USA and wish to roam you will need a Tri-band cell phone.

Normally your mobile will have 'Network Select' on Automatic, but sometimes the automatic feature does not work, or your mobile is unable to search for a network if you are in a low signal area. In these instances you will need to manually select the network you want to use.

Instructions vary from phone to phone, so please refer to the manual that came with your phone and follow the instructions for activating a particular service.
