If you have a phone number with another carrier that you would like to keep, select the “Transfer number to Telstra” option when shown. We’ll ask for your existing phone service, the carrier, the service type (if you pay monthly on a contract or if it’s a Pre-Paid number), and we may also ask for your account number. Once you have entered these details, we will submit an application to the carrier to have your phone number transferred to Telstra.

If your existing mobile plan is with another carrier and you transfer your number to Telstra, you’ll no longer be able to use your existing plan/service.
