Step 1: Choose a plan
With Telstra's Cap Plans, you get high included calls so you know your normal use is covered. Just pay the Cap start amount and you’ll only pay for what you use over and above the Cap end amount and for usage not included in the Cap amount.
Telstra's Cap Plans are available when you purchase a new mobile phone via a Mobile Repayment Option. See Step 2 for more details.

Step 2: Choose a mobile phone option
With Telstra's Cap Plans, you have the choice of a wide range of mobile phones and can choose to pay as much or as little upfront as you like with Telstra's Mobile Repayment Option.
With Telstra's Member Plans, there are three mobile phone options.
Mobile Repayment Option (MRO)
As the name suggests, you choose to pay as much or as little upfront for a mobile phone and then repay the remainder over 12, 18 or 24 months - interest free.
Here is an example of how it works:
- Choose a Member Plan eg. $40 which includes a $7.50 monthly member credit.
- Choose a mobile phone from our large range eg. Samsung A501 = $528 outright.
- Choose from one of Telstra's MRO tiers by deciding how much you want to pay each month and over what timeframe eg. $528 - 24-month tier. (See full details.)
This means that you would pay $0 upfront and then $22 per month over 24 months. (The predetermined repayment figure from Telstra depending on contract term.)
If you then use your member credit toward your repayments, that is $7.50 per month, you only pay $14.50 per month for 24months out of pocket for a new mobile phone.
