Telstra consumers will pay extra for their mobile plans from July 1 after the telecommunications giant announced price increases.
The price increase is part of a total overhaul of Telstra’s mobile broadband strategy, which includes changes to package names and data allocation.
Customers with existing and new post-paid mobile and mobile broadband subscriptions will pay more, although two of the three options will include additional monthly data.
Firstly, Telstra’s packages – small, medium and large – are being renamed Basic, Essential and Premium, respectively.
Customers using the basic package will pay an extra $3 per month, with the price going from $55 to $58.
There will be no changes to the data allowance or any features for this plan.
5G has since been added to the basic package.
The essential package will increase by $3 as well, going from $65 to $68.
Customers under this plan will receive 180gb of data month, or 100 more gb, and Telstra Plus rewards.
