To simplify our services, we're discontinuing some older plans. As part of this effort, you’ll now be moving to our Upfront Plans. Upfront Plans are month-to-month plans that have no excess data charges, and you'll pay for them in advance.
Which of my services are moving to Upfront Plans?
It's important for you to understand the changes to your plan inclusions, plan price and payment method. Read on to learn more.
When you move to our Upfront Plans, the following will change for you:
Share your data between eligible mobile or data plans on your account.
You’ll no longer receive a Telstra bill. With our Upfront Plans, you’ll pay for all your services in advance with Autopay, a form of direct debit.
Your Upfront Plan includes 30 minutes of calls to standard international numbers.
You’ll only be able to roam in selected destinations by buying an International Roaming Day Pass.

You’re currently using direct debit to pay for your plans, so you’ll now pay via AutoPay. AutoPay is a form of direct debit that allows you to pay upfront for your services each month. Since your Upfront Plan has a fixed monthly cost, you’ll no longer receive a Telstra bill.
Each month on your payment date, we’ll automatically charge the monthly cost of your services to your selected payment method—either a bank account or a credit/debit card. This payment will cover you for the month ahead. You can manage your AutoPay payments through the My Telstra app or My Telstra in a browser.
If you have device repayments, Telstra One Number (TON), Upgrade & Protect, Wi-Fi Booster or Foxtel from Telstra, these will be carried over to your new plan.
Here’s how your monthly payments will work:
You'll get a reminder notification 3 days before your AutoPay payment is due for the Upfront Plan.
Your AutoPay payment will be taken out on your payment date for the month ahead.
We’ll send you a digital receipt once your payment has been processed. You can also view your digital receipt in the My Telstra app or My Telstra in a browser.
You'll pay for your entertainment media services, like Foxtel Now, Netflix and Kayo via AutoPay once a month on the date you signed up for the subscription.
During the switch to Upfront Plans, you'll make multiple payments in the first month. Don’t worry – this will only happen once. These payments cover different billing periods:
If you believe that this may cause financial stress, you can request a payment extension or explore our payment assistance options.
If you’re an existing Priority Assistance customer, your status will be retained and you don’t need to take any further action.
If you recently applied for Priority Assistance, you may receive new application forms when your plan changes. You don't need to do anything if you've already sent them back. If not, you still have 75 days to return them after the plan change date.
Upfront Plans are not in a contract. All our plans are month-to-month, meaning you can change once a month or cancel at any time.
You can change or cancel your services in the My Telstra app or My Telstra in a browser:
Please note, if you’re paying off a device, any remaining payments will be charged as a lump sum when you cancel. You can find the cost of your device payout in the My Telstra app or My Telstra in a browser.
Our updated plans have MessageBank activated. To turn MessageBank off on your mobile or phone line, please follow the instructions below.

If you’re a pensioner, we have a range of concession offers for eligible healthcare card holders or valid concession card holders. If you’re having difficulty paying or your circumstances have changed, you can explore our payment assistance options.
Currently, you can only make full payments through direct debit on your nominated AutoPay payment date.
We're working on future options that will provide greater payment flexibility.
Yes, you can extend the next payment date for an Upfront Plan or service. To do this:
The AutoPay payment will be made on the same day every month. If the payment fails, you'll get an email and SMS from us asking you to pay manually in the My Telstra app or My Telstra in a browser.
You have 10 days to make a payment. If you don't make a payment, we will retry your AutoPay payment on day 9, one day before the service suspension begins on day 10. Check your preferred payment method is valid and has sufficient funds.
You can check your upcoming payment date in My Telstra.
If you have any remaining payments or refunds:
We don't accept BPAY as a payment method for Upfront Plans on AutoPay. Your payment will not be processed if you use BPAY to pay for your upfront plans and services.
This plan comes with a data allowance to use in Australia. You won’t be charged if you go over your monthly data allowance. Instead, you can continue to access data up to speeds of 1.5Mbps. 1.5Mbps isn’t suitable for HD video or high-speed applications, and means that some web pages, social media content and files may take longer to load). In addition, heavy data users (users in the top 1% of all data users) may experience slower speeds than other users during busy periods. The speeds you actually receive may vary depending on a range of factors including your device, location, number of users and download sources. Your data allowance is for personal use in a smartphone or tablet in Australia only and the FairPlay Policy applies.
