Anyone can proclaim their love by texting (for a standard SMS charge) their name and their valentine’s name to 0499 MY LOVE (0499 695 683) and it will appear on the billboard.

That’s: NAME1 [space] NAME2 and send to 0499 695 683

By sending your SMS, you will also receive a picture message to your phone of your names will appear spread across the billboard (not an actual photo of it happening).

As long as the other half doesn't know its free (well, SMS cost) you could say you pulled in a few favors to get it up there lol…..

There is more info on the link.

Terms and Conditions:

  • Ahan on 14/02/2014 - 12:16

    I don't remember seeing this many cables in the past.. Maybe last time it was dusk. The board was brighter and background was darker. I suppose now is not a good time to do this.

  • lonewolf on 14/02/2014 - 12:21

    Strange, I did mine a while ago and still no image :(

  • rdhupar on 14/02/2014 - 12:22

    Which billboard though?

    • rdhupar on 14/02/2014 - 12:23

      Just too lazy….found it in the link

  • initialv on 14/02/2014 - 12:23

    Works great and received the image fairly quick! Thanks!

    Just to add in , by sending the sms you are opting in for marketing sms. You can optout by calling 1800039059.

    Shame they text you a picture back. Otherwise you could make your partner wait at the billboard all night to see it. Which would save you the cost of taking her out.

    That's cool as hell. Got mine in about 30 seconds.

    Thanks!

  • 51ngh on 14/02/2014 - 12:30

    How long do the names appear for ??
    Do they only appear once or rotate ?

    I'm gonna have fun tonite !

      Nah this is photoshopped. My picture has blue sky. Looking out my window not much blue sky that I can see.

      • 51ngh on 14/02/2014 - 12:52

        there is a physical billboard outside some building in Melbourne according to T&C. But it doesn't mention duration….

        Good idea though

    Am using s2. Cant download from the multimedia message. Sent second text. Still waiting.

  • cowiie on 14/02/2014 - 12:58

    Soo you send a sms with the names? and then they send you a photo of your names appearing on the billboard??

        i think i remember seeing something last year that said it appears for 60 secs (so its displayed sometime during the day) and the picture you get back is what it would look like if you happened to be there at the time of viewing.

        *note that i am an employee of Telstra but not affiliated with the direct marketing of this. So you would need to contact the specific numbers in the T&C for further info.

  • jee on 14/02/2014 - 13:05

    20 mins and no response. Do they reject name with apostrophe

    • jee on 14/02/2014 - 16:02

      removed apostrophe and worked..

  • Lichen6420 on 14/02/2014 - 13:09

    Certain it's not live pics?? Different people in the foreground of every pic ? Maybe they are just clever.

  • Vladdo on 14/02/2014 - 13:12

    Yes, it's a mock up.. i did 3 of them.. and 2 had the same people.. and anyway, the sky ain't blue in melbourne today..

    • Lichen6420 on 14/02/2014 - 13:18

      Ah fair enough. Very clever nevertheless :) … pretty cool

    No billboard in Sydney. No love for Sydney

  • timhn on 14/02/2014 - 14:01

    sent out over an hour ago and still no response. Already Ozbargained?

  • dr_ rusko on 14/02/2014 - 14:12

    This is clearly not geared towards the ozbargain community… Still costs the price of a txt msg.
    If they (telstra) really wanted to get our attention then they would offer a free live feed off the ozbargain website.
    Now that would be impressive!

      I had the SMS included in my plan, and so now only 36 instead of 37 SMS will be waisted at the end of the month.

  • tightarse on 14/02/2014 - 14:14

    I think we've been had!

    The sky in Melbourne today is a white haze - no blue to be seen anywhere, yet every photo shows nothing but a beautiful blue sky.

    Secondly, I've sent 3 separate requests through, each around 10 minutes apart, and on each photo I see the same gent!!

    Is the rep gonna 'fess up as to what is really happening?

      It looks like they swap other carrier names with "Telstra"

      "HELSTRA VODAFONE":

    so How do you get the picture on the other shop…?
    done one, but don't like the cable lines…
    also, I seen a night time one.

    • Food on 15/02/2014 - 14:47

      Blame Yarra Trams for the 'cable' lines

  • Lancerx on 15/02/2014 - 12:49

    sent two last night…still haven't got any message from Telstra of the picture though?

    • Sevenofnine on 16/02/2014 - 05:09

      what's the two words…
      maybe got filtered out for not being "appropriate"

  • sraymond on 16/02/2014 - 00:20

    Yep, same here. Sent a couple and got no message. But just now I got a phishing SMS saying I had won some award.

  • roughana on 16/02/2014 - 14:59

    I sent two and never received a message. I'm on Optus… perhaps that was the problem?

    • Food on 16/02/2014 - 15:20

      Maybe because it finished at midday today??

      • roughana on 16/02/2014 - 17:38

        I sent the SMS' on Friday.
