Information about the service

Telstra IP Telephony (TIPT) is a cloud-based unified communications platform, offering a consistent voice calling experience across multiple devices and locations.  The TIPT service offers a range of telephony features service management features, and a choice of equipment. You can use TIPT over your Telstra IP Virtual Private Network, or with any internet service that is sufficient for IP voice.

You need to have a network service set up before TIPT can be used. This could be Telstra IPVPN, regular internet, or another provider. You’ll have to change some network settings so certain ports and addresses work with TIPT.

You must pay for each user of the service, and for any extra things like making calls or getting equipment. Each person needs a feature pack —Basic, Standard, or Executive—and you can add more features if you want.

There’s usually a $50 setup fee for each feature pack, but this is free if you order feature packs through the UCSS Portal.

There are a range of Add Ons and feature packs you can chose from. You can find more information in Telstra TIPT and Liberate Brochure.

TIPT Complete Calling Plans can give you more certainty around call costs with a fixed monthly price per user, per month, providing unlimited local, long-distance, and fixed to mobile calls within Australia.  Your Telstra Business Technology Centre can give you more information.

Other goods and Services

TIPT phones get power from their internet cables (called Power over Ethernet, or PoE). If you don’t have the right switch for this, you’ll need to buy separate power packs for each phone.

TIPT Handsets are enabled for Power over Ethernet (PoE). If you do not have a PoE switch you must purchase a suitable power pack for each handset

Eligibility

To use this service, you need to have a special Telstra account. If you don't have one, someone at the Telstra Business Technology Centre or your Telstra Account Representative can help you set it up.

You must have a suitable access service in place to use your TIPT service. You will need to supply us with certain details about your compatible access service.  You will need to modify some aspects of your access services to user your TIPT service. If you do not have suitable network connectivity, and do not make these changes, you may not be able to receive the TIPT service in part or in full.

You can buy or rent accredited telephone equipment as part of the TIPT service.  However you don’t need to buy any special phone equipment—TIPT works with Webex for TIPT or Liberate telephony apps, which you can use on your computer or phone.  Your Telstra Business Technology Centre can provide you with a current price list.

The phones also work with many kinds of headsets but double-check that your headset fits your model.

Your Telstra Business Technology Centre or other Telstra Account Representative will be able to provide you with further details.

Rental Equipment

If you choose to rent equipment for your Telstra IP Telephony service from Telstra, you must take up and maintain your Telstra IP Telephony service for a minimum term not less than the rental equipment term. At the end of the contract term, license charges and any rental payments will continue until you cancel the service, or buyout the rental equipment. For more detail on pricing please refer to your Telstra Business Technology Centre.

Telstra retains ownership of rental equipment.  Please keep the equipment in a clean and safe environment, as we will charge you for damage or alterations.

We may change your plan including price and inclusions or move you to a new one (which may cost more). If it has a detrimental impact on you, we’ll give you at least 30 days’ notice. You can cancel if you’re not happy, but you’ll need to pay off any remaining device or service costs. With no lock-in, you can change your plan once a month or you can cancel your plan. If you cancel your plan, you’ll need to pay out your device, accessories or services in full.
