Telstra mobile plans review
Telstra boasts Australia's largest mobile network, which can be a key point of difference for those living in rural or regional areas.
The caveat is its prices can be steep, and not everyone will need the extra perks Telstra offers, like earning Telstra Plus points for rewards, getting the latest phone on a plan or taking advantage of its handy mobile app or streaming freebies.
If you're keen to stick to a budget, a smaller provider using the Telstra network may be a better option.
Pros
- Access to the largest 4G and 5G networks in Australia
- Multiple customer support options
- Option to add on international roaming if you're heading overseas
- No lock-in contract across all plans and the option to sign up via eSIM if you have a compatible handset
Cons
- Plans are expensive compared to other providers
Can I be approved for a Telstra phone plan and phone.?
Hello! You can sign up to a phone plan either in-store or by heading to Telstra’s website: https://www.telstra.com.au/. You’ll need to select the phone you want and follow the prompts. Hope this helps!

Hi!
I simply need a sim that has a long expiry date, 12 months, for the cheapest price. I also need minimal data and calls provided. It will not be used every week. I’m finding it hard to locate, an option suitable for my needs, amongst all the other prepaid plans; or perhaps everything has changed and I’m unaware. Please note I will not use vodafone; directly or indirectly any more.
Thank you

Hi Lea,
Thank you for your inquiry.
You may want to consider the Mobile Plans for Seniors for your Mother. We also have a list of mobile phones that you may want to check. While we can’t provide a specific recommendation, but that list should be a good place to start your search for the right phone.
I hope this information has helped.
