Quick Start Guide
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 $13-$69 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.
Google, Google Play, Chrome and other marks are trademarks of Google Inc. Apple is a trademark of Apple Inc.
This phone is Telstra Blue Tick certified. That means it’s certified to give superior voice coverage in rural and regional areas.
How do we test phones for Blue Tick?
We do most of our testing in purpose-built facilities. Here we can simulate exactly how a new phone would perform as if it were held in your hand on the edge of a coverage area.
We seal the handsets in our specialised echo-free chamber to ensure accurate tests. We then take the handset out into rural areas to replicate these test results. That way we can be certain that only the best-performing phones are awarded the Blue Tick.
