Should I cancel my Telstra service before porting my number to a new carrier?

No — port your number to the new carrier first. The porting process automatically cancels your Telstra service. If you cancel before porting, you will permanently lose your phone number.

Will I get a refund for the remaining days in my billing cycle?

No. Telstra does not provide pro-rata refunds for unused days in a monthly billing cycle when you cancel a postpaid plan.

Are there any cancellation fees?

There are no early termination charges on modern (post-2019) month-to-month plans. However, if you are on a Device Payment Contract (phone repayment plan), the full outstanding device balance is due immediately upon cancellation. Older pre-2019 contracts may carry an Early Termination Charge (ETC) that decreases each month.

How quickly will my service be disconnected?

Postpaid mobile services are typically disconnected within 24–48 hours of a confirmed cancellation request.

Can I reactivate my Telstra service after cancelling?

Yes, you can sign up for a new Telstra plan at any time, but your old phone number cannot be recovered once it has been released (unless you ported it away before cancelling).

How do I confirm my cancellation was processed?

Always ask for or note your cancellation reference number at the end of the process. Check your next bill to ensure no further charges appear. If you were billed after cancellation, contact Telstra on 13 22 00 with your reference number.
