Mobile Phones
With Telstra's Casual Plan, there are three mobile phone options:
1. Mobile Repayment Option (MRO)
With a Mobile Repayment Option (MRO) 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. The nominated amount will appear on your Telstra bill in addition to your mobile spend.
You can also choose to include an eligible mobile phone accessory in your MRO like car kits, portable handsfree kits, phone chargers, batteries, data cables and leather cases.
Your repayments will vary depending on the phone cost and whether you want to pay it off over 12, 18 or 24 months. For example:
| Phone cost (including the price of any eligible mobile accessories) | $829 |
|---|---|
| MRO amount selected | $529 |
| Amount payable upfront for phone | $300 |
| Monthly repayment over 12 months Monthly repayment over 18 months Monthly repayment over 24 months |
$44.09 (plus plan costs) $29.39 (plus plan costs) $22.05 (plus plan costs) |
- Calculate your MRO with our easy to use calculator.
2. Outright Purchase
Just buy your mobile phone outright, and there is no more to pay. Mobile phone costs can vary, but you'll always find something to suit your needs and budget. To find a mobile phone, check out Phone Select.
3. Bring your Own (BYO)
This is a great option is you already have a mobile phone and simply want to connect to Telstra. It's important to know that if you BYO your old mobile phone you may not get all the benefits and services of Telstra's Next G™ network. This means there's never been a better reason to upgrade.
