Pay my bill
There are many ways to pay your bill, depending on your plan. If you receive a monthly bill, payment options available will be listed on your bill.

Pay with My Telstra

Other payment methods
AutoPay is the automatic payment you set up to pay for your upfront services using your nominated credit card, debit card or bank account.
If you pay with AutoPay, you'll get a reminder 3 days before the payment is debited from your chosen account. If your payment is due on a date that isn’t in every month (e.g. 31st), it’ll be paid the following day.
Changes to a service part-way through a monthly charging cycle are effective immediately but aren't charged until your next AutoPay payment date. For one-off charges like device payout fees and installations, we issue an invoice ten business days before your default AutoPay method is debited.
Using My Telstra, you can manage your AutoPay payment method, see upcoming charges, and download past payment receipts once they’re processed.
What if my payment fails?
There are no late payment fees on upfront plans, but you have 10 days to make a payment.
If you received a payment failure notification, you can make a manual payment through My Telstra or one of the other payment options. Otherwise, we’ll retry the AutoPay on day 9, one day before service suspension begins on day 10. Check your preferred payment method is valid and has sufficient funds.
To remove a service suspension within one hour of successful payment, pay the overdue amount in full through My Telstra.
If your service is suspended and you don't pay by your monthly payment date, some or all of your services may be disconnected, and you’ll be charged for any remaining device payments.
