Keep it rolling with auto recharge – set up once and you’re good to go.
In My Telstra, select the Pre-Paid service you’d like to set up auto recharge on. Ensure it has a current active recharge.
Select your chosen auto recharge amount and we’ll automatically charge you and top up your service when all your recharges expire.
Select or add a payment method and follow the prompts.
If you decide to turn off auto recharge, you will lose the offer and no longer receive bonus data, even if you turn auto recharge back on.
If your auto recharge payment fails, you’ll need to manually recharge to get your service working again. This means you will miss out on your auto recharge bonus data for that recharge (because it will be manual). However, the bonus data offer will resume when your next auto recharge goes through.
If you change to an ineligible recharge amount you will no longer be eligible.
If you decide you would like to switch back to a $44 Pre-Paid Plan, your remaining auto recharge bonus data will kick back in (until 22 April 2027).
If you change to an ineligible plan like a Casual Plan or Community Plan, you will no longer be able to claim the auto recharge bonus data offer, even if you decide to switch back afterwards.
