First month’s monthly charge
All TPG services are prepaid. You must pay the monthly recurring charges in advance. In addition, you have the option to make additional prepayment for usage that is not within the included value (if any) for the plan that you have acquired. If there is insufficient funds in your prepaid balance, you will not be able to make any usage that is not part of your included value. Prepayments can be made during registration or after activation via the My Account section of the TPG website. If you choose to make additional prepayment, the amount will be debited from your nominated bank account or credit card. We will send you messages about your usage during the month. If you do not use the prepayment, it will be forfeited to us when you cancel the service. You agree that no bill will be provided for this service and that direct debiting of your account or charge to your credit card may occur notwithstanding that no bill is provided and that it may occur even though you may not have had the opportunity to check charges at least 10 working days before the debit.
Each month thereafter, you will be charged 7 days prior to the end of the monthly period for the following month’s monthly charge.
Can I bring my own phone?
Of course! Although, you may be required to unlock it from your previous mobile phone provider.

 What is 4G?
4G is the fourth generation of mobile telecommunications technology that is capable of much faster speeds compared to 3G and 2G.
 Does TPG support 4G?
We offer 4G speeds given:
– You must be on a 4G plan
– You must have a 4G compatible handset
– In 4G coverage areas
– 4G is enabled on your handset
4G is enabled by default on TPG T4G plan.
 How to turn on 4G on my handset?
Instruction varies according to handset. We recommend you consult with the user manual of the handset for information.
 What will happen if my phone is not a 4G phone or I am outside the 4G coverage areas?
You will be limited to 3G or 2G and speeds will be much less than that of 4G.
What happens if I use less than my Included Value?
If you have used less than your monthly Included Value, the remaining amount will expire at the end of the month. If you use less than the advertised price of the plan you will still have to pay the same minimum monthly charge (which is the advertised price of the plan).
