FREE Full access to The Age/SMH/WA today articles

Lhj14 on 27/02/2015 - 10:36

Normally you are limited to 30 free articles per month on The Age website, and it's partners eg SMH, WA Today.

However it appears when the same article is accessed through Canberra Times, there is no limit. Perhaps this is because public servants need to be most up to date with the news.

So when you hit your limit, replace the starting part of the URL to canberratimes.com.au

eg:
http://www.theage.com.au/technology/sci-tech/scientists-know…

To this:
http://www.canberratimes.com.au/technology/sci-tech/scientis…

Voila - no more limits!

    Just delete the SMH/Age cookies and you are on the way again.

      You can get Chrome to clear cookies from SMH/Age everytime you close Chrome.

    Similarly with dailytelegraph.com.au URLs, switch them to news.com.au

    You are never limited on WA Today as to how many articles you can read. You might be meaning to say PerthNow.
