Plan prices
Your plan and add-ons may change (including price and inclusions), or we may move you to a new plan (which may cost more). If you don't like a change, you can change your plan or cancel your plan or add-ons. When you cancel, your service will be disconnected immediately. We won't refund any money you've already paid, and you'll need to pay out any remaining devices, accessories or services in full when you cancel.
Promo codes
To redeem a promotional promo code, choose an eligible product or plan and add it to your cart to start the checkout process. In cart review, enter the promo code. You have three attempts to enter. If you exceed this, the promo code will be invalid. Once you add the promo code, your cart will display the discounted price. Roll onto Telstra’s standard month-to-month price after six months unless you change or cancel beforehand.
Telstra 5G
Telstra currently offers 5G in select areas and is progressively rolling it out to other areas. In non-5G coverage areas, you’ll automatically switch to our 4G. Check coverage map.
Plan speeds
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. For 5G coverage information, check coverage map.
Data usage
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.
Compatible handset
Compatible Telstra mobile network handset required. Check your device's compatibility.
Device Payment Contract (DPC)
You must have an eligible Telstra Mobile Plan in order to have a DPC. If you cancel your DPC early, cancel your mobile plan during the device payment term or move to an ineligible mobile plan during the payment term, you’ll need to pay out your device, in full. Device discounts do not apply to cancelled DPC.
Talk, text and data
Excludes calls, SMS and MMS to premium numbers, some satellite numbers, and use overseas.
International Calling Pack
30 minutes of international calls and unlimited international SMS, to all countries, are included in our Upfront Mobile plans. Once you’ve used the 30 minutes, you can add an International Calling Pack to your plan from $10 per month. You can add or remove it at any time in the My Telstra app. International Calling Pack includes an allowance of calls from Australia to standard international numbers in eligible destinations. View eligible destinations here.
International roaming
The only way to use your service overseas is by purchasing an International Roaming day pass. You can purchase an International Roaming day pass at $5 per day in 7 eligible countries, or $10 per day in more than 70 eligible countries. Day pass Zone 1 and 2 packs include 2GB of data to use per day as well as unlimited talk and text. Usage expires at the end of a 24-hour day pass period. If you go over your 2GB, you can add an additional 2GB for $10 for use within 31 days. A day pass is triggered whenever a call is made or received, an SMS is sent or if any mobile data is used in an eligible destination.
If you’re travelling to a destination where our International Roaming day pass isn’t available, you cannot use your Telstra service.
Telstra Plus upgrade
You're eligible for the Telstra Plus upgrade if you’re an existing Telstra Plus member or if you sign up to Telstra Plus and are on an Essential or Premium mobile plan. Telstra Plus tier upgrade will be applied within 30 days and will apply for a year aligned to membership date. Once you reach the anniversary of the relevant membership year, we'll let you know that this offer is ending and you'll be moved to the relevant tier based on your previous year’s spend.
Cancelling your plan
If you cancel your Telstra Upfront Mobile Plan, you will not receive a pro rata refund for the remainder of your month. If you have any device, accessory or service add-ons attached to your plan, you will have to pay any remaining amount owing as a one-off payment.

Google Pixel 8a
Video content description
Pixel 8a A display of the various features of the Google Pixel 8a such as Google AI, Best Take, Circle to Search, Live Translate and Audio Magic Eraser.
Video transcription
Footage: We open on a sunlit street corner, with three young women positioning themselves for a selfie. A full width Google Pixel 8a logo appears on the screen introducing the product.
Text: Google Pixel 8a
Music: A punchy, up-tempo soundtrack accompanies the ad.
Disclaimer text: Screen images simulated throughout the ad.
Footage: The scene cuts to a closeup of the woman’s hand holding a Pixel 8a. The front camera is visible on screen, reflecting the women as they pose for the picture. A title pans into frame as she presses the camera button.
Text: with Google AI
Footage: We then cycle through a series of three static selfies, the screen pulsing white each time to indicate a photo has been taken. The women's expressions change in each photo, with each selfie accompanied by the text:
- Choose your
- best look
- with Best Take
We then see them shaking their heads disapprovingly as they view the photos.
Text: Choose your best look with Best Take
Disclaimer text: Sequences shortened. May not work on all images.
Footage: The scene cuts to a closeup of the Pixel 8a screen, with the woman’s finger tapping the Best Take button. A circular crop of all three women's faces appears on screen – each with their eyes closed – with the text ‘Tap to choose another expression’ appearing below.
Three versions of Woman 1’s face then superimpose on screen, showcasing where Google AI has identified potential improvements. Woman 2 taps the middle face to select a different expression for Woman 1. The new selection glows blue as she taps it.
The scene cuts back to the original selfie where they all have their eyes closed. A rainbow glow circulating each profile indicates the transformation as the women’s faces suddenly change to more desirable selfie expressions.
The image then rotates upwards as we cut to the next scene. Now a woman’s hand holding a Pixel 8a is in frame. She is watching a video posted on a social media app showcasing footage of a man dancing.
Text: Search anything
Footage: We then see the woman from the phone’s point of view, walking along a darkened street. She indicates her interest with a quick smile before her finger comes forward to touch the screen.
The screen pulls sharply sideways to cut back to her hand and the phone, with the dancer static in Circle to Search mode. Her finger draws a circle on screen to select his shoe. The circle transforms to a square screen grab, then a range of search results on the shoe slides up from bottom of screen.
Text: with Circle to Search
Disclaimer text: Requires an internet connection and compatible apps and surfaces. Results may vary depending on visual matches.
The frame transitions downwards to reveal the next scene - a crowded Turkish street. A break in foot traffic reveals a market stall selling simit, Turkish sesame bread. The camera moves through the crowd, panning behind two young people approaching the stall.
Text: Speak the language
Footage: We then cut to a frontal view of a young couple, with the man holding a Pixel 8a.
Text: with Live Translate
Disclaimer text: Not available in all languages or countries. Not available on all media or apps. See g.co/pixel/livetranslate for more information. Translation may not be instantaneous.
Footage: We then see the man’s hand holding the phone in Live Translate mode, with the menu of the simit stall shown on screen in Turkish language. He taps the Translate button and the menu instantly translates to reveal an English translation of the sign.
We cut to four young people travelling in a white convertible car, the left rear passenger holding a Pixel 8a, ready to capture their road trip. The scene transitions to a close-up of the Pixel 8a in hand as the selfie footage records on screen.
The camera UI screen fills the screen. In the footage being recorded we can see that the woman passenger is saying something, which is inaudible due to the wind noise as the car drives.
Text: Quiet the noise
Footage: We now see a closeup of the phone in Audio Magic Eraser mode. Her finger taps the button, followed by the text ‘Identifying sounds…’ with the audio soundwaves shown above. A ‘Wind’ button then appears.
We cut back to her hand with the phone as she dials down the wind noise to reveal conversation and laughter.
Text: with Audio Magic Eraser
Disclaimer text: Sequences shortened. May not work on all audio elements.
Footage: The scene then cuts to the same white car parked next to a warehouse, with the woman standing next to it holding her Pixel 8a. She taps the screen with a satisfied expression and walks away.
Text: That’s Google AI
Footage: The screen then cuts to a beige background, with various coloured Pixel 8a devices tumbling from bottom to top of screen. A full width black Google Pixel 8a title appears centre screen.
Text: Google Pixel 8a
Footage: The devices disappear, and the final title appears, then pulling out on a white background and Google G logo filled with a soft multi-colour gradient, which then forms a standard Google G logo as the ad ends.
Text: Pixel. The only phone engineered by Google

How much storage do I need?
Consider your usage
How much storage you’ll need depends on how you use your phone or tablet. If you mainly use it for web browsing and checking social media, you may only need up to 64GB of storage.
If you’re a casual user who likes to take a few photos, you might need a bit more storage – say up to 128GB.
But if you take a lot of photos and videos, or play lots of graphic-intensive games with your phone or tablet, you’re more likely to need a larger amount of storage – say 256GB or more.
Here’s an example
As a rough guide, a 128GB phone or tablet on average can store approximately:
- 900 photos
- 1 hour of Ultra HD video
- 1,000 songs
- 100 apps and games
- 20 movies
Again, this is a rough guide only and will vary depending on the size of the files, apps and games being stored.
It’s worth noting that if you max out your storage, your phone or tablet is likely to run a bit slower. For that reason, many people prefer to opt for more storage.
