  • Each Adaptive Mobility Mobile and Mobile Broadband user's included plan data contributes to the account level Adaptive Shared Data Pool and is available for use by other Mobile or Mobile Broadband users on the same billing account.
  • Each Enterprise Wireless service’s included plan data contributes to the account level Enterprise Wireless Shared Data Pool and is available for use by other Enterprise Wireless services on the same billing account. 

We do not charge you excess data fees for any usage within Australia. 

  • Mobile and Mobile Broadband Plans: When the total Adaptive Shared Data Pool has been used, data speeds on all mobile and mobile broadband services will be capped at 1.5 Mbps for the remainder of the billing period. This speed is suitable for basic web browsing, audio streaming, VOIP audio calls. It is not suitable for HD video or high-speed applications. 
  • Enterprise Wireless Plans: An Auto Data Top-Up must be selected. When the total Enterprise Wireless Shared Data Pool has been used, your nominated Auto Data Top-Up will be automatically applied. These top-ups will not be charged for until used and expire at the end of each billing period.

If the Mobile and Mobile Broadband users on your account have used up the total Adaptive Shared Data Pool, you can remove the speed cap by simply moving one or more of your Mobile or Mobile Broadband users to a higher plan tier. This will automatically top up your Adaptive Shared Data Pool with more included data and will also automatically disengage any speed cap until the new total data pool has also been exhausted.

The account administrator will receive SMS or email alerts when usage reaches 50%, 85% and 100% of the available data pool.

Customers must choose an Auto Data Top-Up for the account’s Enterprise Wireless Shared Data Pool. These top-ups automatically add a block of data when the applicable data allowance has been exhausted. They will not be charged for until used and expire at the end of each billing period.

If you have used up the additional data provided from your Enterprise Wireless Auto Data Top-up, then another Auto Data Top-up of the same denomination will be automatically activated and billed.

Unused Enterprise Wireless Auto Data Top-ups expire at the end of each billing period and unused data will be forfeited.

For each eligible Adaptive Mobility plan subscription, we’ll automatically bank 10% of the net monthly subscription fee into your Telstra Enterprise Plus Fund for each month that your service remains active. You can then use these funds to help offset the cost of any eligible hardware purchases that you make.
