Seems weird to me, but Telstra now give 25gb of extra data on the first month of a mobile accelerate plan.
Apologies for formatting as qm on my phone.

    Too bad it doesn't apply to prepaid…

    Give a massive amount of data the first month, get the customer into the habit of using a heap of data everyday, sting them hard the following month.

    Even Telstra's bargains are evil.

      smart thinking~

    • AssociatedNuggets @ Telstra on 04/06/2014 - 13:24

      I have to say I dislike the cynicism whenever Telstra is mentioned on OB. Sure, Telstra gets a lot wrong, they are super expensive, but they are improving. Even the other day when the top ups were added to home broadband people had negative comments to make about it.

      I think having 25GB of data, unlimited calls and unlimited text in your first month is great because it means you don't have to worry about all that while you're setting your phone up, restoring data, installing new apps, getting the 24x7 app to work.

      Just my two cents.

        Drinking the corporate koolaid much?

        Telstra's plans have demonstratebly become worse year on year. Customer service hasn't improved in my experience (the people working in the Phillipines call centre are polite and genuinely want to help, but most of the time they don't have the training or authority needed). At the same time data congestion in key areas continues to be an issue.

        And don't get me started on Telstra Wholesale…

    You can't do that three times call for help thing on this can you ?

    I heard this over the radio two nights ago…. i seriously thought it was a mistake and instantly thought it should have been 2.5GB :p

      Or 25mb…

    • Lukian on 04/06/2014 - 09:41

      Not really. People on the $39 Friends of Telstra/staff plan with a $5 data pack get up to 14GB/mth

        how to get one?

      • GaelicAU on 04/06/2014 - 10:10

        This plan comes with 1GB. How does one get to 14GB for a $5 add on?

      • cytmas on 04/06/2014 - 10:12

        How is this possible? $5 a month only gets you an additional 250MB.

        • busterau on 04/06/2014 - 10:46

          I believe he is referring to using the $5 data pack to reduce the excess MB rate to 3c and then slowly draining the $400 cap pool. I presume his 14GB figure would mean that he would use 100% of the cap for excess data.

          Wow if that works, that's genius. I've been doing it wrong the whole time

        • [Deactivated] on 04/06/2014 - 21:25

          nvm

        • tonester on 05/06/2014 - 01:59

          Wow if that works

          it does :)

  • hys on 04/06/2014 - 10:00

    Unless you are tethering or stuck on your phone and youtubing the whole day this aint that easy to reach. The huge number is just to gain attention

  • wildstone on 04/06/2014 - 10:11

    If it is able to roll over then it is a different story. What's the point of this really… except to get you into a heavy usage habit. They can give 1TB for all we care it's not going to make a difference if you can't use it all up anyway in a month.

  • pyramid on 04/06/2014 - 10:15

    This is just trap to grab attention and few customers who does not do their homework properly….

  • Lapse on 04/06/2014 - 10:18

    To negate the offer, Telstra have upped their plan prices. On Sunday, to get a Samsung Note 3 on a business Medium plan would have been $80/month. Today it is $95/month. Looking at personal plans, the S5/M8 have increased in price by a couple of dollars per month as well.

    Good thing Optus is rolling out attractive new plans next week. $60 unlimited prepaid plans including 5gb and for $5 one off payment share data with others. Posted it in the forum under mobile as it's not a bargain but still pretty good value!
