Changes to your plan

From time to time we may make changes to your plan, including price and inclusions, or we may move you to a new plan (which may cost more). With no lock-in, you can change your plan once a month or leave. If you leave, just pay out your device, accessories or services in full. If we change your plan or move you to a new plan:

(a) We’ll give you at least 30 days’ notice before making changes or automatically moving you to the closest available plan.

(b) If you don’t like the changes or the new plan, you can choose a new plan (once a month) or cancel your plan. If you cancel your plan, you’ll need to pay out the remaining cost of your devices, accessories or services in full.

Cancelling your plan

There are no early termination charges for this plan.

You can move to another Telstra Business plan free of charge – there is no early termination charge on this plan but you'll need to pay charges you owe up to the point of cancellation

Once we’ve accepted your application we’ll try to connect your Basic Telephone Service on the date you ask for but this might not always be possible.

If there has been a previous working phone service at your premises and we can reconnect it without having to visit your premises, the local telephone exchange or anywhere in between then we aim to connect the service within 2 working days of your request. If this is not possible then we aim to connect your service within 5 to 15 working days, depending on your location.

If the nbn network comes to your area and you wish to transfer to the nbn network with Telstra, we’ll take responsibility for managing your transfer to this new network. To do this, we’ll need your agreement and help to access your premises, and we’ll talk with you about installation requirements. We’ll work with you to make this as simple as possible. If you are moving your service(s) to Telstra then you should not request your legacy service(s) to be disconnected from your current provider until you have assurred yourself that your nbn service is operational.

If you don’t want to transfer to the nbn network, we’ll continue to provide your service up until we’re required to disconnect it as part of the migration to the nbn network. At this time we will cancel your services and no ETC will be charged. We’ll let you know the details before any changes happen.

If you have questions about your bill, technical support service or connection, please call us on 13 2000 or 133 677 (TTY).
