    Can anyone confirm that we are charged the same regardless if we use ipad or not to access the 3GB available bandwidth using one of these SIMs?

    I seem to have a feeling that they get used up much more quickly than if I were to use Amaysim or other broadband service provider. Am I the only one?

    Thanks.

    • tonester on 09/07/2013 - 00:10

      3gb is 3gb :)

      • simplexity on 09/07/2013 - 12:17

        What I meant is they can actually charge you 2GB for 1 GB of real usage.

        C'mon guys !

        • tonester on 09/07/2013 - 13:19

          perhaps try downloading a known amount and then see what appears on your account?

        • simplexity on 09/07/2013 - 17:10

          It is difficult to monitor usage as you have suggested as the telstra website is not real time. Unless I dont use it for a day except for downloading a known file-size file, I can never be quite sure. The telstra elite modem is unlike those from Vodafone say which has a usage counter on the screen itself.

          Therefore, I am wondering if others in this forum have learned something different from my experience.

          So what is the general consensus now?

          Just forget about such deals now if one is not using ipad?

        • Scaregdearimasu on 06/08/2013 - 10:09

          One would think there's gotta be some way to spoof your android device to look like an iPad to the Telco. Unless they're looking at the data usage itself then forget about it.

          Still 15$ prepaids are useful for Google play
          And unlocking phones at discounted prices.
          And the 3gb Sims are only good for iPad or getting chat support to turn them into 30$ long life plans for credit use.

    • Gorian4 on 09/07/2013 - 07:38

      Well it's a prepaid card, so they can't charge you anything extra.

      When I activated my 3GB IPad sim, I just said to telstra (through 24x7 chat) activate it as a 3GB IPad sim, and I used it on my IPhone and it worked perfectly.

  • [Deactivated] on 09/07/2013 - 01:27

    can i use this for League of Legends?

    • michaelTito on 09/07/2013 - 02:44

      why not?

      • [Deactivated] on 09/07/2013 - 07:45

        how much credit will this have if i buy a card? for LoL

        • michaelTito on 09/07/2013 - 12:42

          30dollars real credit. That is around 2k+ rp on NA server. But I don't know about Oceania.

    These often go on sale for $10 at Coles.

    • tonester on 09/07/2013 - 05:53

      often? like once this year at only a few stores and twice each in the past two years?

      • INFIDEL on 09/07/2013 - 10:18

        Confirmed it was $10 again at Coles until 10 days ago ($15 less $5 in points). No one seemed interested, so not posted as a separate deal. (You responded to my post.)
        http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/106817#comment-1447605

        Also have been $10 a few times @AustraliaPost.

        • tonester on 09/07/2013 - 13:20

          yes points redemptions excluded :)

      • lostn on 09/07/2013 - 14:37

        I buy a few of these every couple of months. I have about 10 of them stocked up unused. They happen all the time, not once a year.

        It's not always posted on OzB. Just because it isn't doesn't mean the special is not on.

        • tonester on 09/07/2013 - 15:33

          true, but then please post when it is - i'm sure people would be interested to know :)

        • Lifes Gd on 09/07/2013 - 21:46

          Yes, please post when $10 offer is on - I'm always on the look out here on Ozbargain for them - TIA

        • Lifes Gd on 09/07/2013 - 21:47

          Yes, please post when $10 offer is on - I'm always on the look out here on Ozbargain for them - TIA

    They have been in various retailers at $10. Also telstra sell sims online for $15 all the time I believe? Okay could be wrong about that one. I was reading that you can use the prepaid credit on playstore, can you do that on encore plan or you'd have to choose longlife? Its still a good deal to get apps at half price.

    • Venomqld on 09/07/2013 - 04:24

      It doesn't matter what prepaid plan you choose, you can use the $30 Telstra Credit to purchase apps and games from the Google Playstore, but there are few apps and games that can't be purchased via Telstra credit.

      • cdaddy on 09/07/2013 - 09:12

        Wrong, if you chose iPad the value is in data. Try using that on the playstore…..

        • Venomqld on 09/07/2013 - 12:10

          Yer i know that, but im talking about Android not iPad.

        • Scaregdearimasu on 01/08/2013 - 19:42

          there are ways to get them turned into mobile longlife plans with the 30$ credit intact.
          for android app purchasing goodness.

  • peterlong1952 on 09/07/2013 - 08:49

    Dick Smith also has them for $15 until 15/7/13.

    • tonester on 09/07/2013 - 13:17

      thanks - updated deal :)

    • wizzlesticks on 11/07/2013 - 17:50

      Not the iPad starter sim though. See my comment further below.

    Dick Smith will also deliver it by star track express courier for that $15 (bought 2 a week ago, and that's how it came). Generally much more convenient than going to a physical store and getting it, unless you were going to that store anyway.

    • cdaddy on 09/07/2013 - 09:58

      Don't they have a limit of 1 online?

      • tonester on 09/07/2013 - 13:16
        +1

        not online but perhaps in-store as per catalogue :)

    • lostn on 09/07/2013 - 14:39

      Waiting till tomorrow or the day after and having it delivered at their convenience and needing to be home waiting for it is always more convenient than just heading there and getting it in 10 minutes.

  • Ranagade on 09/07/2013 - 15:38

    I have some orange packs (full size sim) I need to get rid of… $10 each if anyone wants them, PM me.

  • wizzlesticks on 11/07/2013 - 16:19

    How to you activate the iPad sim if you plan on using it in an iPhone?

  • wizzlesticks on 11/07/2013 - 17:48

    Description needs to be clarified. Went to Dick Smith's today and the Telstra pre-paid iPad sim is NOT $15. Only the non-iPad sims are half price. They would not budge on this. I tried :)
