Optus also offers a four SIM Business Teams Plus Plan, which includes 320GB of data to share between four lines and the option to add additional SIMs. For larger companies, Optus offers Business Fund plans, which feature device credits, and are tailored to a business’ individual requirements by an Optus business consultant.

Ultimately, choosing the right mobile plan for a small business comes down to the number of phone plans required, and the firm’s data, phone-call and messaging needs.
So before making a decision, it’s recommended to consider your business’ current and future requirements and to research the plans on offer, and if you have any questions to contact a telco directly.
Overall, while Telstra’s basic business mobile plans are not the cheapest in the market, and don’t offer the most data, they do come with the support of one of Australia’s leading telecommunications companies.

Have you ever wondered how ‘business’ mobile plans differ from ‘personal’ plans?
Well, quite often for small businesses, the only significant difference is the name, according to our research.
We compared a number of business plans with equivalent consumer plans, and found some curious anomalies. In a couple of cases, for example, the fine print for ‘business’ mobile plans indicated they could only be used for personal use.
Get the latest business tech news, reviews and guides delivered to your inbox.
At Optus, its $40 consumer plan provides unlimited standard national calls, unlimited SMS and MMS within Australia and to certain countries, and up to 300 voice minutes to those selected countries. Plus 7GB of data.
And the $40 business plan? As far as we can see, the inclusions and terms are pretty much the same. The consumer plan rules out ‘non-ordinary’ or ‘commercial purpose use’ but bizarrely the critical information summary for the business plan makes the same exclusion.
So we turned to the Optus Fair Go policy for clarification.
“If you are a residential customer our services are for your personal use only,” the policy said.
“If you are a business customer, including a small to medium business customer, our services are for your use in the ordinary course of business.
“You may not use the service in a manner which is ‘unreasonable’ or ‘unacceptable’.”
That seems to mean that you aren't allowed to make or take business calls on a personal plan, or personal calls (“should I buy some milk on the way home?”) on a business plan.
An Optus spokesperson explained: “Our consumer plans are designed for personal use while our business plans are for use in the ordinary course of business plus some personal use where needed.
“We understand there will be certain circumstances where a customer needs to use their service outside its primary intended purpose. In these cases, we offer a level of flexibility for customers to make a judgement on what is reasonable and acceptable use of their service based on their contract.”
So the good news is that the way most of us use one plan for business and personal purposes is acceptable, providing the selected plan reflects the main use.
It might not be obvious from the everyday use of the terms, but Optus (and probably other carriers) distinguishes between ‘business’ and ‘commercial’ use. The company confirmed that ‘commercial use' refers to levels of voice or data use normally seen only in call centres, or to mobile data used to access enterprise-style services rather than those associated with micro to medium businesses.
And although the inclusions and price may be the same for consumer and business plans, “Our SMB plans offer a number of benefits for business customers including billing made out to your registered ABN for tax purposes, access to business specialists in over 120 of our retail stores, premium support from our dedicated SMB team when you bundle two or more services, and invitations to exclusive business events,” said the Optus spokesperson.
The Optus Fair Go policy does goes on to give several examples of unreasonable use, most of which seem quite reasonable, such as not allowing automatic diallers, resale and bulk messaging. But the prohibition on using a ‘mobile voice’ SIM card in a non ‘mobile voice’ device seems odd. What difference does it make to the carrier whether you tether a tablet to the phone or temporarily move the SIM from a phone to a tablet?
The reason, according to the Optus spokesperson, is that requiring separate SIMs “allows us to optimise their service for the device, the network and billing purposes”. Optus does allow data pooling between plans, but you’re up for at least $10 a month per additional device, though that does include 1GB of shareable data.
Over at Vodafone, it’s pretty much the same situation when it comes to distinctions between personal and business customers.
The $60 personal plan provides unlimited standard national calls, unlimited standard national and overseas SMSes, 120 standard international minutes to selected countries and 6GB of data (a special offer running at the time of writing boosts that to 12GB).
The $60 business plan has the same inclusions.
But the personal plan is for “personal use by approved customers only” while the business plan is for “personal use by approved customers with an ABN/ACN only”.
We asked Vodafone to explain how a business plan can be for personal use only, but received no reply more than a week later. The only interpretations we can suggest are either that it essentially the same as Optus's business/commercial dichotomy but using different words, or that you can’t use that plan on a phone that’s used by more than one person (for example, the phone carried by whichever member of a team is on call over a particular weekend).
Telstra's personal and business plans are slightly different. For example, $50 a month gets personal customers ‘$1000 worth of calls’, unlimited SMS and 2.5GB of data, while business customers pay $55 for ‘$1200 worth of calls’, unlimited SMS and 5GB of data.
Bear in mind Telstra’s call values are calculated on what we consider to be an inflated tariff of $1 per minute. By comparison, even a $19 Virgin Mobile prepaid recharge can have a rate as low as 15c per minute.
A Telstra spokesperson* said that customers must have an ACN or ABN to qualify for a business plan, but business customers can opt for consumer plans if they consider the price and inclusions are a better fit.
"For example, we provide our small business customers with more voice value, because we know they make calls more frequently than our consumer customers," the spokesperson said, adding that the business plans also allow for free calls between mobiles on the same account.
Other benefits of the Go Business Mobile plans include a free data SIM for use with a tablet or dongle, with both devices sharing the same pot of data, and the ability to put cloud services such as Office 365, Symantec Endpoint Protection and Deputy rostering and workforce management onto the same bill.
Data sharing across multiple services is available on Telstra's consumer and business plans.
Mobile virtual network operators – the companies that provide mobile services based on third-party networks such as Telstra, Optus or Vodafone – generally make a clear distinction between personal and business usage.
For example, the conditions for amaysim's Unlimited plans flatly state they are “available to individual customers only (not companies or businesses), who use their mobile phone for personal use only. If we determine that you are using Unlimited 3GB other than for personal use or if we determine that you are using the Plan in a way that does or may, in our opinion, adversely affect the network, we reserve the right (at our option) to transfer you to the amaysim As You Go Plan, or to immediately suspend or cancel your access to the Service”.
We asked amaysim what it considers ‘personal use’ to be, and its compliance and service operations manager Chad Heininger responded: “We see personal use as individuals using their amaysim service primarily for private use in a way not connected with carrying out a business activity. As per our Fair Go Policy, our customers are unable to use our service for ‘business purposes’ as this falls outside of personal use. We aren’t specific about what constitutes as business use, because we trust our customers to use their judgment and play by the rules. For example, we would not expect our customers to use our service to support a large business or organisation as this clearly would be for ‘business purposes’. We also expect our customers to use our service in a reasonable and acceptable manner.”
It sounds to us that there's a certain amount of wriggle room – if your small-business ‘business use’ is similar to that of a personal customer in terms of the number of calls and texts, how would Amaysim tell the difference, and why would it be bothered? That said, we're not encouraging anyone to breach the T&Cs.
While large organisations can receive volume pricing, the benefits of business plans for small businesses are hard to quantify. In fact, the differences between many personal and business plans in terms of inclusions and costs are so insignificant that we can’t help feeling that the distinction is mostly arbitrary.
However, that also means there’s rarely any downside to opting for a business plan rather than the corresponding personal version.
So if a phone is going to be used primarily for business purposes, you might as well opt for a business plan and be fully compliant with the plan’s terms and conditions. It’s likely to cost much the same – and it reduces the admittedly slight risk that your service will be terminated because you went outside the T&Cs.

Telstra NBN business plans come at a premium price but include some great features and a full suite of support options.
Anyone familiar with Telstra plans—business or residential, mobile or internet—likely knows that they tend to attract a premium monthly price. Telstra business NBN is no exception to this rule with the most expensive comparable plans in our database. Still, that extra monthly cost comes with great perks, including a static IP address and a modem-router with 4G backup . It’ll take a couple of years of connection to avoid the modem-router repayment fee, though, and some of the other features cost extra, too.
Opt for a Telstra business NBN plan if you don’t mind paying more for perks and a wide range of support options, but there are better value alternatives out there if your main concern is price and speed.
Telstra has made a name for itself by offering speedy residential NBN plans with unlimited data , albeit at a premium price, and that trend is no different for the provider’s NBN business plans. Interestingly, the cheapest Telstra business internet plan isn’t an NBN offering; instead, it’s a rare ADSL2+ plan.
Whether you want more speed, better customer service, or just a better deal on your home internet , you can find everything you need to know about NBN plans by following the link below.
In terms of our database, the Telstra Unlimited Business Internet plan was the only business ADSL2+ offering at the time of writing, and one of only two in our comparison engine across business and residential plans.
For not a whole lot more per month, you can get the Telstra Business NBN Unlimited Data plan, though, which is typically priced at $110 per month and comes with 50Mbps typical download speeds during business hours.
While those download speeds are great, the pricing is less desirable and beaten by every other business NBN provider in our database for typical monthly pricing. The only proviso there is that Aussie Broadband offers ever-so-slightly slower download speeds (49Mbps), while iiNet and TPG offer some data-capped plans (although they also have cheaper unlimited offerings, too). You’re better off looking at the Optus Internet Everyday – NBN plan, the iiNet Business NBN 50 Value plan or the TPG NBN 50 L Business Bundle if you’re after a cheaper plan with the same speeds and similar inclusions.
For comparison, below is a daily updating list of popular business NBN 50 plans with unlimited data from our comparison engine.
Want to know which NBN providers scored top marks in our analysis? Follow the link below to find the best providers for value, speed and support in Australia.
The only other business NBN alternative Telstra currently offers is the Business NBN Unlimited Data + Premium Speed plan, which typically costs $140 per month for 100Mbps typical business-hours speeds.
It’s an identical story for Telstra’s business NBN 100 plan as it is for its NBN 50 plan above: you’ll have to scroll to the bottom of our comparison engine to find this plan with typical monthly pricing. Optus and Exetel offer the same 100Mbps business-hours download speeds for a noticeably cheaper monthly fee, with Aussie Broadband also cheaper and just behind at 99Mbps. Taking the full package into account, we’d advise going with the Optus Internet Everyday Fast – NBN plan over Telstra’s NBN 100 alternative.
For comparison, check out the daily list of popular business 100 plans below from our comparison engine (all of which have unlimited data).
If you’re a business that’s purely concerned with dollars-to-data value, there are more cost-effective alternatives to a Telstra business NBN plan. That said, if you fancy a business NBN plan with some great inclusions, Telstra puts big ticks in the core boxes on the perks front. All of Telstra’s business internet plans come with included phone line rental as well as local and national calls but, strangely, you have to pay extra for the actual landline phone.
As is the trend with business NBN plans, all of Telstra’s business NBN plans come with a static IP address, which makes it easier to configure remote access, more reliable communication, server hosting and virtual private network (VPN) connections .
Additionally, Telstra also bundles a preconfigured, self-installed Telstra Business Smart Modem with 4G mobile backup. While this modem-router has a $0 upfront cost, you’ll have to pay a $216 fee if you cancel after the first month. This device fee diminishes the longer you stay connected. Stick around for 24 months, and you don’t have to pay anything extra for the Telstra Business Smart Modem.
One of the other things we like about the Telstra business NBN plans is transparency around speeds. This starts with expected download and upload speeds (the latter is rare), but you’ll also be offered maximum speed estimates based on the NBN technology servicing your business address, too.
After you’ve first signed up, Telstra also offers a dedicated connection manager to assist with any questions or issues while you get connected. Once you’re up and running, there are self-guided support steps on the Telstra website for troubleshooting issues. There’s also a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Telstra offers a full range of support options, so you can pick your preference. Get in touch digitally via Twitter, Facebook or online chat service. Alternatively, visit a Telstra store for in-person support (you can also book an appointment) or call 132 000 for phone support 9:00am to 7:00pm AEST Monday to Friday.
If you have connection issues, you can contact Telstra for basic tech support or pay extra for Telstra Business Tech Services. Telstra describes this optional support service as a tailored concierge experience, and while it includes 24/7 support for Telstra and non-Telstra tech, it does cost an additional $60 per month.

Why you should consider telstra business broadband.
Read more about Telstra's business broadband plans
In the 21st century, making sure your business is connected all the time is essential, so choosing a business broadband plan that offers peace of mind with your connectivity is wise.
Telstra offers a selection of business broadband plans for all different connection types, including ADSL , mobile broadband and the NBN. All are available on no-lock-in, month-to-month contracts.
For fixed-line broadband connections, you'll receive a modem router with your service as well as a static IP address for your business. If you cancel your contract within 24 months of connecting, you'll need to pay out the remaining cost of the included modem at a rate of $9 per month remaining.
Some business broadband bundles also include the peace of mind of switching to the Telstra mobile network during a fixed-line outage, unlimited uploads with any uploads you make not counted as part of your monthly quota, and the ability to include business apps like Office 365 in your monthly broadband bill.
As the country's largest provider of broadband and mobile services, Telstra is available practically everywhere in Australia, making it an easy choice for small business owners.
Because Telstra has traditionally run a lot of the fixed-line infrastructure in Australia, it has always charged a premium price for its plans, which it justified by the premium network it offered to its customers. For business customers, there is still a premium attached to Telstra's costs, though the fact you can combine your business applications, services and work phone line into a single account helps explain some of this extra cost.
Telstra has recently launched the Telstra Plus program, which allows customers (including small businesses) to earn points monthly when they pay their bill. Via the Telstra Plus store, customers can redeem their points on devices, accessories and more. Telstra also offers free, dedicated small business support specialists in-store to give your business the help it needs, so you can get the most from your business broadband connection.

"Customers who take up a $115 XL plan with a new iPhone device will receive a $50 recurring service discount for 12 months. This means customers will receive 180GB data for $65/month." https://exchange.telstra.com.au/telstra-iphone-13/
New iPhone 13 have landed at Telstra. Pre Order starts from 10pm 17/9/2021 and available from 24/9/2021.
Mod: $50 recurring service discount for 12 months on $115/Month XL 180GB plan is available independent of iPhone 13 purchase.
180GB data for $65/month for the plan on top of the device repayments
This makes more sense - I was getting confused thinking there was an awesome deal for $65 a month including the phone :D
Estimated for 512GB 13 Pro Max would be $100 monthly handset repayment plus $65 for the plan = $165 monthly for 12 months then revert back to $115 unless you change to lower value plan.
no many people will pay for that XL plan for 115 anyway.
Thanks for discount, but please do better. Buying an iPhone13 can be much cheaper by using Apple gift cards from Woolworths.
Thanks for the discount anyway.
I did not know that you can buy itune/Apple gift card from Woolworths to buy iphone? I thought you can only use it for songs, subscriptions etc How to do that? Thank you
https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT211163
Woolworths currently has 30xbonus Everyday Rewards points for purchases of Apple Gift Cards (excludes $20 card)
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/650860
So if you're an Everyday Rewards member you'll effectively earn 15% of the purchase price of the cards in bonus Everyday Rewards points to use to save cash on groceries etc from Woolies.
Apple Card is much better than iTunes card, which no longer exist I believe. Now with Apple Card you can buy Apple products online too.
As you are associated you should show what the total price is for 12 months including the cost of the phone
Good notes, team. Should specify: the discount is on the plan only, not the phone.
What if u already on this offer from last year?
I think you need to renew it to this new offer as the offer from last year is expiring. Going to do mine next month. I guess the downside is, you have to sign up to autopay and also, less Telstra Plus bonus points now, used to have 150% extra and now reverting back to 100% extra bonus point…
How about $10 discount for JBHIFI plans? Is it a real thing or just a fantasy?
Why some (claim) can get it and some won’t get it even after chatting with supervisor? Is this how Telstra doing its business, unclear process?
Telstra regularly has the 180GB/Month XL Plan discounted to $65/Month.
Yeah and can get $10-20 discount on top of that 'loyalty' discount
How do i get this? Im current 99$ contract is about to end and was thinking of getting 65$ plan.
You don't need to add an iPhone?
I'm able to see it on the BYO section.
Telstra Upfront Mobile Plan Extra Large 180GB for$65 Monthly For 12 mths then $115/mth
That's $50 off per month for 12 months on our XL plan, credit will be applied automatically each month you stay connected for up to 12 months on the Telstra Upfront Extra Large Mobile Plan.
Eligible services only and Data for use in Australia.
Offer ends 2 Nov.
The prices of these iPhone are becoming so ridiculous.
The price this year hasn't changed much right? But I agree that the price is high for a couple years now.
Not only Apple. Even some android phones like Samsung is starting to get more expensive.
And don’t let me start with laptop prices nowadays.
I cant get on board with 36 month plans.
If you cant afford to buy a $1500-$2000 phone outright then you shouldn't lock yourself into a contract paying 3-4k over 36 months.
(Excluding device repayments) $780 for first 12 months $1380 for next 12 months $2160 just for the plan
Device repayments would be $40-$55 a month for 36 months = $1300-$1900
Better to save and buy the phone outright and get a similar plan for $40-50 a month. Would save 1k easy
You aren't great in maths
Doesn't Apple offer financing if you can't afford the phone?
Financing should be for those who CAN afford it. Affording is different from not having enough cash to buy upfront. Just like a Mortgage, which you can afford to have based on your financial profile, but of course can't pay house price upfront. If you can't afford, don't buy on financing or plan even. Just elaborating :P
So a similar plan for $40-50 a month, which is down from $60 a month on the 36 month plan, using your numbers. How would that save 1k easy? You still pay the same amount for the phone.
SIM only plans don't take into account financing for phone so it's slightly cheaper. Not sure how he would get the $1k though.
Correct me if I'm wrong but with Telstra these days I thought you'd get the same plan whether you have a phone attached or not, and you don't pay any interest on the phone repayment?
@[Deactivated]: That's correct. That's why if you're buying SIM only plans from the big 3, you're wasting money.
Maybe 1k is overs, but $500 or so just based on a $40 plan for 36 months = 1440 . You are also not locked in for 36 months.
I'm waiting for the $65 JBHIFI Telstra plan with a $500 gift card again.
You're not really locked in for 36 months with this either. If you want to at any stage you can pay off the remainder of what's owing on your phone.
I see what you're getting at, but the accuracy was a little off none the less
The $65 XL plan is available until November without a phone attached. Adding iPhone repayments doesn’t make it a deal.
Probably best to buy directly from Apple with gift cards bought from Woolies (for 15% back in Rewards points), and then wait for a JB/Good Guys/HN plan deal with $300-500 giftcard on a 12 month plan.
Aren't those deals at JB etc normally for a new service and a new device?
I recall last year I got an Optus 12 months plan at Harvey Norman without a new device.
What is the Woolworths deal you are referring to?
See here, I bought $4,000 worth 2 days ago and received $600 back in Everyday Rewards points instantly. Have added the gift cards to my Apple ID in preparation for the iPhone 13 preorder tonight
Is it better value to keep as everyday rewards points? I don't have a rewards card, was going to use my mums but her gets converted to frequent flyers points at a lower rate, so not sure if its still worth it?
@Manusdei: My rewards points automatically transferred to a cash value, not sure if you can actually keep them as rewards points or not.
Re automatically converting to QF points this can be worth it depending on what you use your QF points on. I have hundreds of thousands of QF points already so figured I’d take the $600 which I’d spend on groceries anyway.
Could you double dip and wait for the gift card sales that woolies or coles have every now and then?
“ please be advised that this promotion is for a new service”
I've added to existing service. Went through fine.
The $115 plan has been discounted to $65 for months now. This is not a deal.
Hmm found a way better deal with Optus. 500GB for $65/mth. Check it out: https://www.optus.com.au/mobile/plans/shop
That seems more than Optus. $65/month for 500Gb. No deal imo.
https://www.optus.com.au/mobile/plans/shop
This plan from Telstra has bin live for ages, not new. That a good OPtus deal though, does the price guarantee with Optus mean they'll beat the price on the phone too?
Btw OP, any ideas of when the eSim support is coming for these Upfront plans?? I am a bit hesitating changing over but then again, my postpaid plan is expiring soon!
I'm on this plan currently. About 2 months ago I changed from a normal sim to ESIM in my pixel device.
When did you sign up? Telstra has moved to a new billing system this year. People on the old billing system can get eSim, while people on the new system can’t. Any new signups will be on the new system.
Hmm good question.
November last year I signed up to this plan.
@knuckle8: Yeah I got on the same plan around the same time. eSims still available to us. Any new signups are on slightly different plans (they include data sharing), but the new billing system has some limitations, among those is eSim not being supported still.
Telstra forcing all new people and many existing customers onto the new billing system has struck me as sort of odd as it went live not only without eSim but also certain international roaming features, Telstra One (support for smart watches) etc. They might have got off more lightly due to covid on some of those.
I'm assuming these changes apply to plans sold via JB, but it's possible that's not the case.
Esim definitely working on these plans now

Telstra will be switching off 3G in 2024. Before switch off, you can use handsets supporting 3G on 850MHz and 4G minimally on 700MHz and 1800MHz. See telstra.com/device for more information. After switch off you will still be able to access the Telstra Mobile Network provided your device is 4G voice enabled and 4G 700MHz compatible. Find out more: tel.st/goodbye3G
Once you exceed your included data allowance, your speed will be capped at 1.5Mbps, and slowed further in busy periods. This means it is not suitable for HD video or high speed applications and means that some webpages, videos, social media content and files may take longer to load, but you can still stream video in standard definition, listen to music, browse the web and access social media, even if the experience is slower sometimes. Heavy data users (users in the top 1% of all data users) may experience slower speeds than other users during busy periods.
You can also share data with other eligible plans on the same account. Eligible plans can be found in our customer terms at telstra.com.au/customer-terms
If you have existing shareable services on your account, and you connect a new, or change an existing shareable service to a Telstra Business Mobile or Telstra Business Data Plan, we will automatically:
See Our Customer Terms for a full list of eligible services.
You can choose to repay the cost of eligible accessories over a fixed period of time. This applies to accessories with a cost of $120 or more and can be paid over a 12 month period. The charge for accessories will appear as a separate line item on your bill. There are 4 tiers available and if the total value of the accessory is more than one of these tiers, you’ll need to pay the difference upfront. If you cancel your accessory repayment early or cancel your service(s), your accessory repayment will also terminate and you will be required to pay out the remainder of your accessory repayments.
You'll need to pay out any remaining device and accessory payments. If you receive a monthly credit and cancel your Plan or Device Payment Contract early, you will lose your credit and must pay the balance of any remaining device repayments on your next bill.
From time to time we may make changes to your plan or add-ons (including price and inclusions), or we may move you to a new plan (which may cost more). If we reasonably think that a change is likely to be detrimental to you, we'll tell you at least 30 days before making it. If you don't like the change you can change or cancel your plan or add-ons and just pay out your device, accessories and services in full.
If you are moving your existing service and it currently has International Roaming blocked this will continue to apply on your new Plan, otherwise, International Roaming and International Day Pass are activated by default on your plan. You can deactivate them using the MyTelstra app (data charges may apply), or by calling us between 8am-7pm AEST Monday to Friday on 125 109 from within Australia or +61 439 125 109 outside of Australia free of charge from your Telstra service. For an additional charge per day an International Roaming Day Pass lets you make and receive unlimited standard voice calls and SMS and includes 2GB data for use each day (AEST) when travelling in Eligible Roaming Destinations. If you use more than the International Roaming Day Pass data allowance, we will automatically add extra data in blocks of 2GB for $10 each.
Calls/SMS/MMS will be charged at International Roaming rates (refer to telstra.com/overseas) and mobile data at $3 per MB (charged per KB or part) if you:

Welcome to r/Telstra place for all Telstra questions, help, rants and memes (also no annoying bots it’s all done by hand) (Not run by Telstra)
Hey guys, wondering if I can get some help.
I'm on a Telstra upfront internet plan "Essential" FTTN. I've been running my small business from home and using the landline number provided with the plan as the phone number for my business, (phone plugged into the back of the modem). I've just recently started renting an office space where they let us use their wifi for free, but because i'm still using the modem for my personal internet at home i'm wondering if its possible to keep using the phone number provided with the wifi service at this new location?
I've already added the phone number to a lot of places so I'd really like to not have to change it if possible, is there any way to continue using this number from the new office?
