TPG Support

TPG Home Phone is delivered via TPG’s own network infrastructure, where the call is not carried over a broadband connection but rather, like conventional telephony, is carried directly over the copper pair between the customer premises and TPG switching equipment. So you can expect a high quality of service and enjoy great call rates and super fast broadband on a single connection.

"Premises" means the location where you intend to use the service.

The primary differences are described in the below table:

ADSL2+ with TPG Home Phone is only available:

• – In selected TPG ADSL2+ coverage areas to new customers when ADSL2+ and Home Phone Line Rental are purchased as a bundle.
• – If you are an existing TPG ADSL2+ customer and interested in the ADSL2+ with Home Phone service, please call Customer Service on 13 14 23 where a friendly customer representative will assist your enquiry.
• – Free ports are available on your local exchange/DSLAM
• – There is a suitable copper pair available between the Premises and the local exchange
• – The cabling infrastructure between the exchange and your premises is compatible with ADSL2+

There are three order types available for TPG Home Phone with ADSL2+ Service:

1. Convert an active phone service at your current location to TPG Home Phone line:

• You must have an active phone service.
• This order type does not involve a site visit
• You can choose to keep your existing phone number or get a new number from TPG
• Currently porting of your existing number is only available to customers whose current phone service is owned by Telstra, Optus, AAPT, Primus or Powertel. By proceeding through the online registration, preliminary checks will be done and shown if porting is available to you.
• If you currently have an active phone service with Telstra:
  • You need to make sure there is no complex product on the phone line.

2. New Service Connection at locations with inactive phone line:

• If you don't have an active phone line to make or receive calls at the location where you have nominated to have ADSL2+ with TPG Home Phone installed, there needs to have been a Telstra phone line previously connected at your premises. If there is a phone socket on the wall, then there has likely been a phone line connected.
• You must have a spare ('vacant') copper pair into the Premises. If you are not sure, you can submit your registration and we will perform the service qualification check as part of the installation process. If we find that you do not have a spare copper pair into the Premises, you will be advised by email notification and the order will be cancelled.
• Once your order is placed and the installation date/time is confirmed, TPG will advise you via email. TPG will also advise if you are required to be in attendance at the location of the installation on this date and time frame.
• In most cases you will not be required to be in attendance at the site however in some cases a site visit by a Telstra contracted technician may be needed to complete the installation.
• When a site visit is required by a Telstra contracted technician:
  • You may be required to provide the technician with access to your Network Boundary Point (see 2.15 for more details).
  • In some cases the Telstra technician is able to complete the installation without needing your assistance or contacting you. Regrettably we are unable to inform you if this would be the case however after the installation time frame has passed you may try to connect your modem/router (using the instructions included with the modem/router) or telephone handset.
  • Installation appointments that are required to be rescheduled due to you not being in attendance when required will result in additional charges. Please click here for ADSL 2+ with TPG Home Phone Additional Pricing.
  • You can choose to reschedule the site visit within 3 working days of the scheduled date without a rescheduling cost.
• You will be responsible for arranging and paying for any cabling (if required) beyond the network boundary point (see 2.15 for more details).
• TPG will provide you with a new phone number unless you qualify to transfer your existing active phone number at your current location to your new location where ADSL2+ with TPG Home Phone will be installed. See 2.3 for more details.

3. Transfer of existing Naked DSL (ULL) service provided by another provider

• If you have an active Naked DSL (ULL) service with another provider, you can now transfer to TPG ADSL2+ with Home Phone service without having to cancel your current service and experience extended delays while your new TPG service is being connected
• Upon registration TPG will supply you with a new phone number based on your location
• Your current service will continue to work until the time of the transfer to TPG. You may experience a small period of 5 - 10 minutes of downtime.
• Once transfer is complete, your ADSL2+ and TPG Home Phone service will be active
• You do not need to be home on the day of the transfer of service

Yes it is possible to transfer your existing ADSL2+ service to an ADSL2+ with TPG Home Phone bundle plan. Charges and contract conditions can be found here http://www.tpg.com.au/products_services/adsl_additionalprices.php.

To request this change simply log into Your Account and click on Change Your Plan.

Once logged in, eligible customers will be shown an option for upgrading to our ADSL2+ with TPG Home Phone plans.

TPG will keep you notified via email regarding the progress of your upgrade.
Your upgrade will take place within 10-20 working days after submission. Until then you will have access to your TPG Internet and current home phone service. On the day of the upgrade, you will only experience a short period of up to 2 hours internet downtime. Once completed your home phone will be connected and you will be able to make outgoing calls. TPG will be billing for call usage.

If you had opted to churn your current phone number to TPG Home Phone, this will normally take a further 3 - 4 working days after which you will be able to receive phone calls. While your number is being ported, you will have access to the Internet and will be able to make outgoing calls. TPG will be billing for call usage. All incoming calls to your number will be diverted to the TPG Voice Mail system for your retrieval. Please see 'Phone Number and Porting' for more details.

If you do not wish to keep your current number, TPG will assign a new number for you and inform you via email of this number once the upgrade has taken place.

If you currently have an active phone service with (and are directly billed by) Telstra, Optus, Primus, AAPT or Powertel, upon registration we will do preliminary checks to see if you qualify to take your current phone number to your new location.

If you qualify you will be asked to provide your current account number found on your last bill. This will be required for the port.

It means you have a dial tone and an active phone number (meaning you have the ability to make and receive phone calls), excluding services provided over VoIP, on the phone line connected to your house/premises you nominate for ADSL2+ with Home Phone.

Complex Products are non compatible services that may be active on an active phone service on which ADSL 2+ with TPG Home Phone is to be installed.

Only customers who are converting their active Telstra phone service at their current location to ADSL2+ with TPG Home Phone need to ensure they do not have any complex products on the line when they submit their application.

Most common complex products include:

• Fax Stream Duet
• ISDN
• Securitel or Back to Base alarm systems
• Line Hunt
• PBX Rotary Group.

Click here to view the full list of complex products.

Once application is submitted further line check on nominated phone line will be made. We will send you a confirmation email to notify the line check result within 3 working days from the date application is submitted. If the line check is successful, you will need arrange to have these complex services removed within 3 days and reply back to the email we sent to confirm. We will not process your application until we have received your confirmation email.

Yes, the following services will not operate on your ADSL2+ with Home Phone line:
–   Fax to national numbers in the Telstra, Optus, AAPT and Primus PSTN network is supported; fax to international numbers is not reliable; and VoIP based fax is not supported.

If you have the latest Foxtel set top box, you can purchase programs using the Ethernet connection in the set top box to connect via TPG ADSL2+.

Yes, watching regular Foxtel programs is not affected by TPG ADSL2+. Regular Foxtel programs use an entirely separate connection from your ADSL2+ or Home Phone connection.

If you have the latest Foxtel set top box, you can purchase and download programs using the Ethernet connection in the set top box to connect via TPG ADSL2+. This is even better if you have TPG Unlimited ADSL2+ plan as you do not have to worry about your Broadband monthly usage quota when you download Foxtel On Demand programs.

If you have the older Foxtel set top box without an Ethernet connection, program purchase through your landline will not work with TPG Home Phone. We suggest you contact Foxtel about upgrading your set top box.

This feature will be active from the date that your ADSL2+ with Home Phone service is activated.

  For Example: An existing ADSL2+ with Home Phone customer’s monthly billing cycle runs from 24 July to 23 August.
