We're Australia's best mobile network

Cyber security that never sleeps
We block millions of cyber threats every single day and monitor our network 24/7 to help protect your data from suspicious activity.
Extra support for our customers
We've increased our concession discount so our customers with a valid Health Care, Pension or Veterans' Affairs Card don't pay any more for their plan.

Things you need to know
Pre-Paid - Speed capping
Your capped download speed is the maximum potential download speed for data included in your recharge. Typical speeds may often be slower and will vary due to factors including location, distance from the base station, local conditions, concurrent users, hardware and software configuration and download/upload destination. Telstra 5G now reaches 80% of Australians. Compatible device required. For 5G coverage information, check our coverage map.
Telstra Pre-Paid Mobile
Unlimited calls/texts exclude satellite and premium numbers (e.g. 19xx numbers), operator assisted calls (e.g. most 12xx numbers) and diverted calls. Roll over and access unused data when you recharge $10-$60 before expiry. Your unused data will expire if you don't recharge on eligible recharges before expiry. For use in Australia.
