Enterprise Mobiles Change of Ownership

Use this form if the transfer involves:

  • Telstra mobile service/s and
  • An account-managed Enterprise or Government entity (as either a current or future owner of a mobile service/s).

Note:

  • If you're transferring a non-mobile product or a combination of products, complete this form.
  • If the transfer does not involve a Government or Enterprise entity, go to Consumer & Small Business.
  • If you're transferring a service to Telstra from another provider, see Port-In.

Transferring Telstra Upfront plans

If the service you're transferring is on a Telstra Upfront plan, be aware that:

  • Any device repayments associated with an Upfront plan cannot be transferred to a new owner.
  • Any remaining payments will become an Early Termination Charge to the current account owner and will appear on a ‘pay it later’ invoice.

You can check details of the service in the My Telstra app, Telstra Connect or the Critical Information Summary provided to you when you signed up.
