Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mobile Connect a Telstra partner?

Yes. Mobile Connect is a Telstra partner with stores at Underwood Marketplace and Sunnybank Hills Shopping Town, so the plans and services you buy from us are genuine Telstra plans.

Can I bring my own phone to Telstra?

Yes. If your phone is unlocked and supports Australian 4G or 5G, it will work with a Telstra SIM only or prepaid plan. Bring it in and we’ll check it with you.

What’s the difference between SIM only and prepaid?

SIM only is a monthly plan with no phone included, while prepaid is paid upfront so you can only spend what you’ve already recharged. Prepaid suits people who want tight control over spending.

What Telstra prepaid SIM plans and recharges are available at Mobile Connect?

Mobile Connect can help you choose from the current Telstra Pre-Paid SIM kits and recharge options available in-store, including shorter-expiry and long-expiry choices. Recharge values, data allowances, bonuses and expiry periods can change, so contact Underwood Marketplace or Sunnybank Hills Shopping Town to confirm current availability before visiting. Existing Telstra Pre-Paid customers can also recharge through My Telstra or Telstra’s online recharge service.

Can I upgrade or replace my existing Telstra SIM card here?

Yes, Mobile Connect can help eligible Telstra customers replace a lost, damaged or incompatible physical SIM and explain the available eSIM options. Bring the phone and valid photo identification, and make sure the account holder is present because identity and account checks are required. Depending on the service and recent account activity, Telstra may require the replacement or physical-SIM-to-eSIM conversion to be completed through My Telstra or Telstra Support.

Do I need to sign a contract for a Telstra plan?

Not for SIM only or prepaid, which are no lock-in. If you buy a phone on a plan, you repay the phone over a set term, and we’ll go through the full cost with you first.

Can I keep my current phone number?

Yes. You can move your number to Telstra. Ask us before you cancel your old service so you’re not left without a connection.

What do I need to bring in store?

Bring your phone and photo ID, such as a driver licence or passport. If you’re moving your number, bring your current provider’s account details as well.

Which Telstra plan is best for me?

It depends on how much data you use and whether you need a phone included. If you mostly use Wi-Fi at home and work, a smaller plan usually does the job, and we’ll recommend the lowest-cost plan that suits you.

Can you help with Telstra home internet?

Yes. Tell us your address and how many people use the internet, and we’ll recommend a Telstra home internet plan that suits your household.
