Cyber security that never sleeps

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.
