When I originally signed up to use TelstraClear I remember there was a minimum period of usage (I think it was two years, but I'm not sure). Unfortunately I can't find my original paperwork and so I can't check on this. I've had a quick look at the TC Customer Zone but couldn't find anything there that told me this info. Does anyone know where I can find this info online? I need to know what my contract period is (i.e. how many months) and when it expires. I am moving house soon and so need to decide if I stick with TelstraClear or look at other providers (probably Vodafone as I like their plans better). I assume TC have a fee if you move house and want to keep them?

I should maybe mention that I submitted request for this info via TC's Customer Care on 16/01/2013 but haven't received a reply yet (I did get a reply on 18/01/2013 saying that person couldn't help me and they were forwarding my request somewhere else, but I haven't heard anything since then). Maybe I should have just rung them up.

johnr: Just call and ask I was hoping to avoid that but I guess that's the fastest way.

^ As above just call and ask. It's $60.39 to move house in or out of contract and have everything reconnected at the new place - usually

Maybe TC will match VF's pricing, as they are now owned by the same parent, which may make things easier for you as a customer.

mattwnz: Maybe TC will match VF's pricing, as they are now owned by the same parent, which may make things easier for you as a customer. I was wondering that but I didn't think it very likely. I was thinking that if I'm out of contract then I might just cancel with TC and sign up with VF. TC say that it takes a minimum of two weeks to shift services when moving home, I wonder how long it takes to get connected with VF?

All sorted! A nice lady from TC rang me last night and told me that I'd come off my contract last July, and off the special rate I was on. She offered to put me back on the special rate if I agreed to another 12 month contract, which I've done.

TC don't seem awesome at calling you back. I submitted a request for a callback on their website yesterday, nothing yet. I don't want to call them, I can't be bothered with their hold times and help desk staff. Instead of upgrading to Warp Speed I think I'll just get fibre broadband through another provider with a reputation for better service.

If you call the retail stores (one in chch 039826860 and one in welly 049203950 ) you'll probably get hold of someone if you really wanna talk to somebody :).
