Information about the service

Your coverage

5G network access: Your plan provides access to Telstra’s 5G network, including coverage from both 5G Standalone (5G SA) and 5G Non-standalone (5G NSA) mobile sites.  5G NSA is available in most metro and many regional areas when using any 5G NSA compatible device, while 5G SA is available in limited areas but continues to expand. To access 5G SA mobile sites, you will need to have a 5G SA compatible device and SIM (see https://www.telstra.com/coverage-networks/our-coverage/5g-standalone).

Devices and SIMs that do not support 5G SA will continue to have access to 4G in new 5G SA only areas.

Check our coverage maps at telstra.com/our-coverage to see what network coverage is predicted to be available in the areas where you intend to use your service, as well as information about factors that may impact coverage.

Your Device

Bring your own compatible device or buy one outright or with 12, 24, or 36 monthly payments (some exclusions apply). If you cancel early, you’ll need to pay the rest of your device repayments in full. Make sure your device works with our network - especially for emergency calls.

Check compatibility at telstra.com/support/mobiles-devices/enable-volte-mobile-phone

Your data

Your data allowance is for personal use. The FairPlay Policy applies.

You won’t be charged if you go over your monthly data allowance. Instead, your data will be slowed to 1.5Mbps or below, making some content slower to load - such as HD video or high-speed applications. Heavy data users may experience slower speeds during busy periods.

You’ll get alerts at 50%, 85%, and 100% usage. Check your usage in the My Telstra app.

Bundle Plan

You're eligible to add on up to 5 Bundle Plans if you’re on an Essential or Premium Mobile plan. If you cancel or change your Essential or Premium Mobile plan you will no longer be eligible for Bundle Plans and existing Mobile Bundle Plans or Data Bundle Plans will be moved to an in-market plan. We’ll be in touch to let you know about these changes.

Your Payment Options

You can manage your payment methods in the My Telstra app. If you have chosen AutoPay, we'll automatically debit your service payments each month. View our Direct Debit Services Agreement at telstra.com/setupdirectdebit

There are no payment fees if you pay using AutoPay via Bank Account, or BPAY to pay your Telstra bill. More info about additional payment options including any applicable fees at  telstra.com/payment-fees

Changes to your plan

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, accessory or service costs.

Cancelling your plan

You can cancel your plan at any time by calling us, messaging us or visiting a Telstra store. When you cancel, your service will be disconnected immediately, and we won't refund any money you've already paid. Cancellation of your service will impact other services, accessories or device repayments linked with it. We will let you know if any other charges apply when you cancel.

To check early cancellation fees, log in at telstra.com/myaccount or to the My Telstra app, go to your service details, and review your plan or contract for any charges or remaining device payments.

International Roaming

To use your Telstra service overseas you need an International Roaming Day Pass. Unless already switched off, International Roaming and Day Pass will be automatically enabled on all mobile plans for selected overseas destinations. You can disable International Roaming in the My Telstra app (charges may apply outside of Australia). Cost and data allowances depend on the zone of your destination. If your daily data allowance of 2GB within the Day Pass runs out, you'll get a text with the option for a 2GB data top-up for $10 that stays active for 31 days. Read about destinations and zones at telstra.com/international-roaming.

If you’re travelling to a destination where our International Roaming Day Pass isn’t available, you cannot use your Telstra service.

FairPlay Policy

All customers must adhere to our FairPlay Policy. This means you shouldn't use your service in an unacceptable, unfair, or dishonest way, or do anything that interferes with the network or causes significant congestion. If you breach the policy, we might stop or cancel your service. For more details, visit telstra.com/customer-terms.
