iPhone 8 (PRODUCT)RED™ 256GB
Lease this phone
iPhone 8 this year. Upgrade next year.
Love having the latest phone? Then leasing is the way to go. On our 24 month lease plans you don’t own the phone. You'll make monthly lease payments and at the end of the lease, you simply return the phone in good working order. You could pay up to $10 less per month compared to some Go Mobile Plus handset and plan combinations. You also get to upgrade at any time after the first year, so long as you sign up to a new 24-month handset and service plan. And provided you return your phone in good working order, you'll pay only $99 to upgrade. Additional fees apply for leasing if you cancel early, don't return your phone or return a damaged or locked phone.

Own this phone
Get the iPhone 8 on a plan.
If you think you'd prefer to own your phone, then buying a mobile on a Telstra plan is a great option. You can pay your handset off over 24 interest-free monthly payments. And because your plan and Device Payment Contract have the same start date and 24-month term, you'll receive a monthly credit. (Note, if you cancel your plan early, the remaining handset payments will be higher as you&'ll no longer receive a credit.)

What is leasing?
Our new 24 month lease plans give you the flexibility to upgrade your phone after 12 months. And provided your phone is in good working order, you'll pay $99 when you then sign up to a new 24 month handset and service plan. What's more, because you won't take ownership of the phone, you could pay up to $10 less per month compared to some Go Mobile Plus handset and plan combinations. Minimum costs in the table below apply when the phone is returned in good working order. Find out more

Our lease plans
With our lease plans, you’re leasing your eligible phone on a 24 month Device Lease Contract with a service plan – you don’t own the device.
If you upgrade, you must return your old phone. If you signed up to a lease plan prior to 22nd August 2017, you must return your old phone within 30 days of entering your new eligible service plan. From the 22nd August 2017 onwards, you’ll need to return your old phone within 14 days of entering your new eligible service plan. If you don’t return it, we’ll charge you a non-return fee, which is up to the device’s fair market value (to be advised at the time) plus 20%.
At the end of your lease, you must return the phone undamaged. If it’s damaged, you’ll pay the damage fee. If you don’t return it, (subject to our approval) you’ll continue to pay your monthly lease payments for up to 6 months, then a non-return fee of the device’s fair market value (to be advised at the time).
You can offer to purchase your phone device at the end of lease. Be sure to remove the SIM and any personal or confidential data from the device before returning it.
If you cancel your lease early or we terminate it for your breach before month 12, you must pay any remaining monthly lease payments (excluding any discounts as a result of your eligible service plan) and you will then own the device. If you cancel early or we terminate it for your breach after month 12, you can return the handset and pay $99 if it's undamaged or up to $499 if it is damaged or you can keep it and pay fair market value (to be advised at the time) and then own the device. All of these fees and payments are on top of any early termination charges for your service plan and accessories.
Telstra Swap Assure: Mobile Swap Assure can be taken up at the time you take up your handset and plan for $10 per month and lets you upgrade your device regardless of damage to a new device at any time provided you pay an upgrade fee of $190, return the damaged device to us and enter into a new 24 month eligible device and mobile service plan.
On and from 22 August 2017, if you take up Mobile Swap Assure, you will only be able to upgrade your device two times within each 12 month anniversary of your Go Mobile Swap plan.
At the end of your lease contract you must return your device to us and with Mobile Swap Assure, if your device is damaged pay an additional fee of $190, or you may buy your device for fair market value (to be advised at that time). You may cancel Mobile Swap Assure or Business Lease Assure at any time in which case the relevant standard fees and charges for your lease contract will apply.
