Your TPG services may be suspended if you have an overdue invoice, or in response to a security incident. Here's how to get unsuspended if that happens.

For more info about suspensions, see Consequences of Restriction, Suspension or Disconnection.

Select one of the links below to jump to a query:

How to unsuspend your TPG services (Overdue invoices)

  1. If your TPG invoice isn't paid, we'll send you an email/SMS telling you the earliest date your services will be suspended. If you pay the invoice before that date, your services won't be suspended.

  2. If your invoice isn't paid and your TPG services are suspended, you can Make a payment in My Account or call us on 13 14 23.
    Having difficulties making a payment? Please see our Financial Hardship Policy.

  3. Once your payment has cleared, your TPG services should unsuspend automatically within one business day.

 

How to unsuspend your TPG services (Security incident)

  1. When a security incident happens, we suspend services ASAP to prevent further abuse or unauthorised access. You'll be notified after your services are suspended, and we'll try to call you using the contact number(s) on your TPG account.

  2. We'll explain anything you need to do to help secure your account, such as changing account or Wi-Fi passwords, or running antivirus and malware scans.

  3. Once we've spoken to you to verify your identity and made sure that your TPG account is secure, your TPG services may be unsuspended.

This article provides information about the consequences if we, TPG Internet, exercise our right to restrict, suspend or disconnect one or more of your services for credit or debt management reasons.

We will make several attempts to contact you via email and/or SMS regarding any credit or debt management issues for your services. A notice will be sent to you in advance of any restriction, suspension or disconnection occurring.

If you are experiencing difficulties making this payment, then please see our Financial Hardship Policy for information about your options and how to speak to someone about your circumstances.

 

Service restrictions are typically related to spend management tools and may occur when you have used 100% or more of your service inclusions, such as data. Restrictions do not necessarily indicate that your services are at risk of suspension or disconnection.

If one or more of your services are restricted, you will not be able to use select features of the services.

For example, if you have a Mobile service and have used all of the monthly mobile data included in your plan, the ability to use mobile data will be restricted and you won't be able to access the internet. Other features of the service, such as receiving calls/SMS and making calls/SMS that are part of your plan’s included value, will remain available.

You will need to wait until your next billing period begins for the restriction to be removed. Alternatively, you may choose to top up your Prepaid Balance in My Account to purchase a mobile data block.

 

If one or more of your services are suspended, you will not be able to use those services.

For example, if your suspended service is a fixed or mobile voice service, you won’t be able to make calls (except to emergency services like 000) on your phone or handset or use mobile data. If your suspended service is an internet service, you won’t be able to connect to the internet or use services that require connection to the internet, like VoIP.

You may not purchase additional services while one or more of your services are suspended. Ongoing monthly plan charges will still apply while the service is suspended (excluding Mobile and 4G/5G Home Broadband services). 

How can I get my services unsuspended?

  • Mobile and 4G/5G Home Broadband services: You will need to pay the amount to renew your prepaid service before the suspension is removed.
  • Other services: You will need to pay all overdue amounts owing before the suspension is removed.

Restoration of your service can take up to 1 business day after payment has been received.

Failure to pay after services are suspended may lead to your services being disconnected.

 

Unlike suspension, disconnection of your service is permanent.

Disconnection means you won’t be able to use any features of your services, including internet access and making or receiving any calls on phone services (for some fixed line services, even calls to emergency services like 000 cannot be made or received after disconnection).

You will need to reapply for new services, which may incur costs. Please note that following disconnection, the plan for your particular service may no longer be available, and your username or phone number may change. Any bundled discount entitlements will also be forfeited.

We may also require you to immediately stop using and return to us, or allow us to remove, any equipment or material belonging to us. We may delete all of your data from any storage media (you are solely responsible for backing up your data, such as voicemail messages).

  • Mobile and 4G/5G Home Broadband services: You will still have to pay any applicable cancellation fees.
  • Other services: We will send you a final invoice requesting payment of all outstanding charges incurred before disconnection, including any applicable cancellation fees. Failure to pay may affect your ability to reapply for a new service with us.

 

You can pay your outstanding amount by selecting "Make a payment" in My Account.

If you wish to discuss your account, please contact our Customer Service team via email or call 1300 993 011 (Monday - Friday 8am - 8pm, Weekends & Public Holidays 9am - 6pm).
