The Best Telstra NBN Plans for Seniors in 2023


A pensioner sitting on a sofa and using one of Telstras NBN plans for seniors to connect to the internet using his laptop.

Getting connected to fast, reliable home broadband is made simple and easy by Telstra’s latest range of all-in-one home broadband bundles. And for the many Australians that hold a current pension card, there are benefits available that make these Telstra NBN plans for seniors a far better value option in 2023 than the seniors’ plans of the past.

Offering a broadband internet connection that’s ready for the NBN, a home phone with line rental and a Telstra Smart Modem to make getting online a breeze, Telstra’s internet bundles are a perfect choice for seniors and pensioners who want to get all the benefits of being online while not giving up their Telstra home phone line.

Best Seniors’ NBN Broadband Plans

All Telstra broadband plans offer unlimited data allowances configured on different speed tiers – letting you pick a plan that suits your type of internet usage. Bundled with every plan is a home phone line (you can bring your existing phone number) with line rental and all calls within Australia included at no cost – a huge saving compared to the price of a home phone only a short while ago. You can even call mobile phones without worrying about the per-minute cost – those calls are completely free too, as well as unlimited calls to 13 numbers.

Pension card holders get to take advantage of Telstra’s other benefits for pensioners as well – no paper bill fee, no credit card surcharges, no late fees, a discounted connection fee and free call control. These benefits are available to all pension card holders, along with other options such as free tech training sessions, or a large-print bill.

The Standard Speed (NBN25) plan with unlimited data is priced at $80 per month, while the Standard Plus Speed (NBN50) plan, also with unlimited data, is $95 per month, both including phone line rental and unlimited calls anywhere in Australia. The good news is that with Telstra’s new revamping of their plans, all of these are now available on a month to month basis. This means that seniors can now get any of these plans on a no lock in contract. When the NBN arrives in your area your plan will seamlessly move onto the new network without additional cost or hassle.

Powered by Australia’s largest phone and broadband networks, these Telstra plans are the ideal way for pensioners to get online and experience the vast wide world of the internet. For more amazing deals, compare broadband plans here.

Best Telstra Seniors Bundle Plans for 2023

While Telstra does not exactly offer discounts for seniors, there’s a way that seniors and pensioners can still save money and this is by signing up for bundles. Telstra has been known to offer some of the best deals in bundling, especially when it comes to combining internet with entertainment.

Through these bundles, Telstra offers a great way for subscribers to get more value for their money by putting together great deals — plus some amazing freebies and perks — that help save money, instead of having to pay for these services individually.

One of Telstra’s undisputed best-selling bundles is the Telstra TV + Unlimited bundle, which gives you the new Telstra TV 3 plus unlimited broadband data from $89 per month. If you’re looking for more options, Telstra also offers internet bundling with Foxtel from Telstra packs – Sports HD or Movies HD only priced at $50/month for the first 12 months. Telstra’s bundles come with a Telstra Smart Modem, phone line + unlimited calls, and month to month flexibility.
