Telstra Mobile Starter Plan

You may bring your own compatible device with this plan, or may purchase an eligible device with this plan, payable outright or over 12, 24 or 36 interest-free monthly payments. Some devices may not have a 36 month repayment option. If you cancel your device payment contract early, you must pay any remaining device repayments in full.

Important: You must make sure your device is compatible, or it may not be able to make calls, including calls to emergency services. See telstra.com/support/mobile-devices/enable-volte-mobile-phone for more information on compatible devices. 

Speeds may vary due to factors such as location, distance from the base station, local conditions, concurrent users, hardware and software configuration and download/upload destination.

Once you exceed your included data allowance, your speed will be capped at 1.5Mbps, and slowed further in busy periods. This means it is not suitable for HD video or high speed applications and means that some webpages, videos, social media content and files may take longer to load, but you can still stream video in standard definition, listen to music, browse the web and access social media, even if the experience is slower sometimes. Heavy data users (users in the top 1% of all data users) may experience slower speeds than other users during busy periods.

You can choose to repay the cost of eligible accessories over a fixed period of time. This applies to accessories with a cost of $120 or more and can be paid over a 12 month period. The charge for accessories will appear as a separate line item on your bill. There are 4 tiers available and if the total value of the accessory is more than one of these tiers, you’ll need to pay the difference upfront. If you cancel your accessory repayment early or cancel your service(s), your accessory repayment will also terminate and you will be required to pay out the remainder of your accessory repayments.

You'll need to pay out any remaining device and accessory payments. If you receive a monthly credit and cancel your Plan or Device Payment Contract early, you will lose your credit and must pay the balance of any remaining device repayments on your next bill.

From time to time we may make changes to your plan or add-ons (including price and inclusions), or we may move you to a new plan (which may cost more). If we reasonably think that a change is likely to be detrimental to you, we'll tell you at least 30 days before making it. If you don't like the change you can change or cancel your plan or add-ons and just pay out your device, accessories and services in full.

If you are moving your existing service and it currently has International Roaming blocked this will continue to apply on your new Plan, otherwise, International Roaming and International Roaming Day Pass are activated by default on your plan. You can deactivate them using the MyTelstra app (data charges may apply), or by calling us between 8am-7pm AEST Monday to Friday on 125 109 from within Australia or +61 439 125 109 outside of Australia free of charge from your Telstra service. For an additional charge per day an International Roaming Day Pass lets you make and receive unlimited standard voice calls and SMS and includes 2GB data for use each day (AEST) when travelling in Eligible Roaming Destinations. If you use more than the International Roaming Day Pass data allowance, we will automatically add extra data in blocks of 2GB for $10 each.

Calls/SMS/MMS will be charged at International Roaming rates (refer to telstra.com/overseas) and mobile data at $3 per MB (charged per KB or part) if you:

• use your service outside of Eligible Roaming Destinations 
• choose to opt out of your International Roaming Day Pass
