Note: Telstra no longer offers the iPhone XR.
The wait for Apple’s iPhone XR is over and if you’re looking for feature-packed plans to pair with your new device, Telstra has you covered. The telco is offering the newest Apple smartphones in-store and online and stocks the handsets in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB sizes, all available to bundle with a postpaid plan.
Telstra’s postpaid phone plans
Following in the footsteps of Vodafone, Telstra now offers its device payments separate to the plans, giving you more flexibility. You’ll be able to pick up the iPhone on a 12, 24 or 36-month device payment period, and your plan choice will determine your monthly bill.
It’s worth noting that while the postpaid plans are no lock-in, choosing a device from Telstra will put you on a contract to pay for that device. You’re free to switch between Telstra’s four plans, however, cancelling altogether will require you to pay off the remainder of your handset.

Telstra plans and pricing for the iPhone XR
Worried about excess data? Telstra has now eliminated excess data charges on postpaid plans, so once you go over your plan’s data inclusion, you can keep using data but at a capped speed of 1.5Mbps. This speed is still fast enough for standard-definition video streaming. Telstra customers can also enjoy data-free AFLW and Netball streaming.

Monthly phone payments for the 64GB iPhone XR:
