Mobile Repayment Option


Our Mobile Repayment Option (MRO) usually allows you to choose from a much greater range of mobile handsets. The cost of the handset is broken down into 12 or 24 interest-free monthly repayments that appear on your bill.

If your MRO term and your Next G™ Cap Plan term has the same start date and are the same length (for example, both 24 months duration), you may be eligible for a monthly bonus credit that may be used to offset part or all of your monthly MRO repayments. The amount of the MRO bonus credit depends on the plan you have chosen. This means you could get an even better handset on your plan than with our $0 upfront options, or make an affordable handset even more affordable.

For example:

Price of mobile handset $768
MRO amount chosen $768

Example monthly repayment for handset over 24 months

$32 (plus plan costs)
MRO Bonus credit (with $49 Next G™ Cap Plan, where eligible) $20
Additional amount you pay per month over 24 months $12

You can also bundle eligible mobile phone accessories in your MRO like car kits, portable hands free kits, phone chargers, batteries, data cables and leather cases.
