Call Types Included in Your Next G™ Cap Plan
Your New Phone (MRO)
The Telstra Cap plan gives you a monthly repayment option bonus (MRO Bonus) towards your new phone.
When you get a new phone with Telstra, you can purchase the phone outright, or bundle the cost of the new phone into your Telstra cap plan. This is done by selecting a Monthly Repayment Option where you pay a monthly amount for the phone across 12 or 24 months.
With the MRO Bonus on this cap plan, an amount is paid across to the phone repayment plan, lowering your phone repayment costs. For example if your phone costs $720 then your Monthly Repayment Option will be $30 per month for 24 months. The MRO Bonus on the $49 cap plan is $20 per month, meaning that the net amount is $10 per month for the phone.
Data Plans
There is a monthly data allowance as part of this cap plan, allowing you to access the mobile internet from you phone. See 'Data' tab for more info.
Additional Data Plans
You can add an additional 'Browsing Pack' data plan to your Telstra Cap plan to increase the monthly allowance for mobile internet use and email.
Tethering
Tethering means connecting your phone to your laptop or computer and using the data allowance on this cap plan. Your phone becomes the modem allowing you to access the monthly data plan you have with this Cap plan.
