Price hike for millions of Telstra customers comes into effect

Millions of Telstra customers will now be paying up to $72 more per year for their mobile phone plan after the provider increased its prices.

As of July 4, Telstra customers will see the price of their mobile plan increase in line with the annual consumer price index (CPI), which rose seven per cent for the year to March.

For customers on Telstra’s cheapest mobile post-paid plan, this will mean an increase of $3 a month, or an extra $36 a year for 2GB of data.

The telco’s “basic” plan will jump from $58 a month to $62 a month, while those on its “essential” plan will now pay $72 a month instead of $68.

Increases to Telstra’s “premium” plan — its most expensive — will result in customers forking out an extra $72 a year.

Telstra Group executive for consumer and small Business Brad Whitcomb said the hike was a response to current conditions.

“Like most Businesses in Australia, we are also responding to increasing costs,” he said.
