Telstra has raised the price of cellphone plans for millions of consumers.

Telstra consumers will pay extra for their mobile plans from July 1 after the telecommunications giant announced price increases.

The price increase is part of a total overhaul of Telstra’s mobile broadband strategy, which includes changes to package names and data allocation.

Customers with existing and new post-paid mobile and mobile broadband subscriptions will pay more, although two of the three options will include additional monthly data.

Firstly, Telstra’s packages – small, medium and large – are being renamed Basic, Essential and Premium, respectively.

Customers using the basic package will pay an extra $3 per month, with the price going from $55 to $58.

There will be no changes to the data allowance or any features for this plan.

5G has since been added to the basic package.

The essential package will increase by $3 as well, going from $65 to $68.

Customers under this plan will receive 180gb of data month, or 100 more gb, and Telstra Plus rewards.

While customers with existing and new post-paid mobile and mobile broadband plans will need to pay more, two of the three plans will include extra data per month. stock image
