10% Discount for Previous Employees of Telstra on Most Services - The Telstra Alumni Program

Moved to Forum (Staff deal: Original Link)

Hi All,

Previous Telstra deal reminded me of this little gem. If you've ever worked for Telstra (or in my case worked for a Telstra outsourced partner) for more than two years you can register to receive a 10% discount on most Telstra services. Generally covers the cost of the Telstra supplied component e.g. doesn't cover handset repayments but does cover the plan.

The Discount is available for the following products and services:

(a) Up to 5 Fixed Full Service (Home Phone) Services;
(b) 1 Foxtel from Telstra Service‐ (Note: if you have a Foxtel service with Foxtel you must switch to Foxtel from Telstra at https://www.telstra.com.au/foxtel/switch.cfm before claiming the Discount);
(c) 1 BigPond Broadband (ADSL, cable or FTTP) or satellite service;
(d) 1 Wireless Broadband service (excluding Prepaid Wireless Services);
(e) Up to 5 “in market” Post‐Paid Consumer Mobile Plans (including data and tablet plans)
(f) 1 IP Voice solution (NBN)
(g) 1 NBN Broadband service (NBN)
(h) 1 Foxtel on T‐Box service
(i) 1 BigPond Dial‐up Service; and
(j) 1 BigPond Security Service (subject to being purchased on the nominated account).

Not sure of the actual numbers, but there should be hundreds of thousands eligible for this deal.

You'll need to register here: https://alumni.telstra.com.au/register and it will be faster if you can remember your employee number, I couldn't but they still found me in the system it just took them little longer.

Enjoy!
