Frequently asked questions
We offer two types of Pre-Paid plans, each with a range of SIM Starter Kits to choose from. The best plan for you will depend on how much you use your mobile phone.
Our Pre-Paid Mobile plan is great value for everyday use. It has included data, continuous data rollover on selected recharges, and unlimited calls and texts in Australia to standard Australian numbers with each recharge.
Our Pre-Paid Mobile Casual plan is a good option if you don’t use your phone all that often. It has a longer expiry, which means you can go for longer periods without needing to recharge.
Not sure what’s right for you yet? You can buy our $2 SIM Kit, which allows you the option to choose your recharge amount upon activation.
Yes, you can transfer your existing mobile phone number from another provider to a Telstra service – this is known as ‘porting’.
There are a few things you’ll need to know if you’re porting your number across from another provider. Head to our Transfer my mobile number to a Telstra service page for more information.
Yes, you can set up auto recharge so you don’t have to worry about running out of calls, texts and data. You’ll also continue receiving low credit and expiry SMS notifications from us.
You must have a Telstra ID in order to set up auto-recharge.

- Download or open the My Telstra app

Keep in touch with family and friends overseas. A Telstra Pre-Paid Mobile plan gives you capped standard international call minutes to selected destinations, plus 100 texts to any country.
Countries are categorised into different zones, and included call minutes depend on your recharge amount and which zone you are calling to. For a detailed breakdown, see our International call rates for Pre-Paid mobile page.
The easiest way to recharge is through the My Telstra app.
- Sign in to the My Telstra app using your Telstra ID
- Open the Services tab and select your Pre-Paid service

You can also choose to recharge your service now or have a digital recharge voucher emailed to you for later use (available for selected recharges only).
A digital recharge voucher gives you the flexibility to pay for your recharge at a time that suits you, allowing you to save it for when you need it. You can also buy a voucher as a gift for someone else.
Recharge vouchers vs. digital recharge vouchers
A recharge voucher is a physical voucher that you buy in-store. A digital recharge voucher is one that you buy online and is emailed to you for easy access, anytime.
Most major smartphones from 2012 onwards use a nano SIM card. If you have an older phone or one that uses a different SIM card, visit your local Telstra store or dealer and request a SIM replacement.
A SIM replacement is free and can usually be organised in just a few minutes. Just make sure you bring some ID with you so the store can confirm you're the owner of the service.
Our network
The Telstra Mobile Network offers 4GX in all major and regional cities and in over 1,600 towns and communities around Australia. In other coverage areas around Australia, you’ll automatically switch to our fastest available 4G. Check our mobile coverage page.
Telstra 5G now reaches 85% of Australians. Compatible device required. Roll over unused data when you recharge $15-$74 before expiry. Unlimited calls and text exclude satellite and premium numbers (e.g. 19xx numbers), operator assisted calls (e.g. most 12xx numbers) and diverted calls. Our FairPlay policy (PDF 227 KB) applies.
Our speeds
Speeds vary for reasons like location, distance from base stations, terrain, user numbers, hardware/software configuration, download source and upload destination.
Download speeds are capped on our 4G and 5G network on some plans. Your capped download speed is the maximum potential download speed for data included in your recharge. Factors impacting typical speed include location, distance from the base station, local conditions, concurrent users, hardware and software configuration and download/upload destination.
Telstra Pre-Paid mobile device
An unlocking fee may apply for use with a non-Telstra SIM card. Check our unlocking information page. Limit 1 per customer and no trade sales. Blue Tick lets you know which phones are recommended for handheld coverage in rural areas.
