It's important that you delete the current BPAY details and use the new BPAY details to pay for your new plan.
If you have outstanding charges from your current plan, you'll still need to use the current BPAY details listed on your bill to pay those.
Here’s how your monthly payments will work:
You’ll be issued a bill via email for your upfront services on a new billing date. Going ahead, this will be the bill issue date for your upfront plans and services.
Your new bill will be simpler and cleaner with no itemisation, because you’ll know what your new plan will cost each month.
You’ll have 10 business days to pay your bill using your credit or debit card in the My Telstra app, My Telstra in a browser, at an Aus Post store or with BPAY. You can also use My Telstra to manage or view your payments and bills online.
We’ll send you a final bill for any entertainment subscriptions that renew before you’re moved to your new plan. After that, they'll be included in your new bill.
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.

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.
View your services, pay your bill, troubleshoot tech issues, contact us via messaging and much more.
Depending on your level of urgency, we have flexible options that can help keep you connected.
We're here and ready to help.
