Will Telstra Prepaid get 5G some time soon?

Hi Romy1,

The only reference I've seen regarding 5G access on a Pre-Paid service is in the below link. 

https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/news-feed/introducing-the-samsung-galaxy-note20-range/ba-p/89...

You'll see this wording: "Seriously Fast 5G

Stream, download, and post at seriously fast speeds with incredible 5G technology.

Telstra 5G: 5G access is available on Medium and above post-paid plans and $60+ Prepaid Complete recharges only. Telstra currently offers 5G in select areas and is progressively rolling it out to other areas. In non-5G coverage areas, you’ll automatically switch to our 4GX/4G or 3G. Check coverage at telstra.com/coverage

I'm not on the Pre-Paid Complete plan and I don't have a 5G mobile device therefore I haven't been able to test it out.

Thanks for your prompt response.

I couldn't find a 60+ prepaid plan on the website

You would need to be on the Pre-Paid Complete plan

Apparently there is a $60 recharge on the Complete plan although it's not easy for customer's to see on the website.

I found it in the above link by pressing on "Critical Information Summary" 

$60 recharge includes 38GB Data with 28 day's expiry.

I'm presuming if you recharge $150/6 months expiry or the $300/12 months expiry you should be able to have access to 5G because these 2 are higher than $60.

I can confirm the $150 6 month prepaid has access to the 5g network

Hi @Timpol,

Thanks for confirming that the $150/ 6 month's recharge on the Pre-paid Complete plan gives 5G access 

This will help other customer's
