  what I just called them and they keep insisting the phone isn't free with the deal? :C

    I gave them the link so they could see it themselves. Ask for the retentions team, especially if you are in the last 4 months of your contract.

      'Telstra New Phone Feeling' Was it automatically included? Does that mean you get a new phone every year?
    - deathjr on 19/06/2015 - 18:07
      
      @Joe888:
      
      It's included but you have to return the handset in good working condition after one year and pay $149 to get the new handset, also extend your contract to another year.
    - BuyNow Think Later on 19/06/2015 - 18:16
      
      @deathjr:
      Paying $149 to swap for a new Galaxy S6 or a One M9 in a year time is not bad.

- dom03 on 19/06/2015 - 17:26
  
  What are the "few other incentives"
  
  I might call Voda or Optus and see what they can offer me a better deal over this Telstra deal
  - unity1 on 19/06/2015 - 17:27
    
    Waive last 4 months of contract and 1GB data extra. Vodafone plan includes international text and other stuff too. Can't remember all the details.

What SOC does their S5 use? Is it the s801 or 805?

does the $45/mth INCLUDE the SG5/M8 handset payment?
- pyramid on 19/06/2015 - 17:28
  
  There is no monthly payment for handset.
carboncider on 19/06/2015 - 17:26

Just got off phone with Telstra reps, because I couldn't access One M8 page. This offer doesn't seem to be communicated well to their call centre staff - they couldn't help me so I told them nevermind and registered for a White S5 instead since I'm going to try selling it.

Just received email tracking from Telstra. My order has been shipped out. I ported out from Aldi mobile.
dom03 on 19/06/2015 - 17:29

I have a question for those of us that are EXISTING Telstra customers on POST-PAID plans.

How do we go about getting on this $45 POST-PAID plan deal, since it's offered to pre-paid customers only,

Telstra chat rep confirmed I couldn't get this as its offered to pre-paid only customer (FFS telstra you guys are hopeless)
- dom03 on 19/06/2015 - 17:32
  
  Also how are you guys expecting this to work for you when using a $2 sim from another provider, registering it, then porting over to this plan?
  
  Wont you end up with a new number? dont you want to keep your existing current number?
  - dom03 on 19/06/2015 - 17:39
    
    +1
    
    I propose if you are this category of users (existing post-paid telstra customer) wanting to take this offer up to do the following.
    
    Contact Telstra and ask them to convert you from post-paid to pre-paid, then register for this $45 Go Mobile Casual Plan deal?
    
    I am in the process of doing this now, will report back.
    
    EDIT: Telsta chat was about to convert my post-paid to pre-paid, but I realised you may not need to as I just went through the normal signup process for this $45 Go Mobile deal using the below link and was able to choose the "I am an existing Telstra customer, and wish to keep my number" option and entered my current post-paid telstra mobile (out of contract) and it happily accepted it!
    
    https://www.telstra.com.au/latest-offers/pre-paid_offer
    
    Got my order confirmation number, let's see if it gets posted out :) probably will get my order cancelled as I am not a pre-paid customer lol.

Average sale price of S5 seems to be $400-500 vs. M8 $350-500. S5 is also a lot more popular.
= $26.25/month for the phone plan.
- linkii on 19/06/2015 - 18:08
  
  Where can tou get the M8 for $350? Its $550 on most sites. Whereas the S5 is ~$475
  - plasmapuff on 19/06/2015 - 18:13
    
    I'm looking at ebay sold prices for brand new.
    - webtherapist on 19/06/2015 - 18:20
      
      and on eBay those are grey import OR local stock without proof of purchase (the original one) so you only have limited warranty, meanwhile this would give you 24 months, and worry-free too as you have heaps of Telstra stores/shops to drop it off for any issues
djcharliek on 19/06/2015 - 17:36

I'm paying $10 - $15 a month on prepaid Telstra, juggling sims etc…..I think I'll stick to this. Good plan though for people who don't want the bother of changing numbers /carrying 2 phones like me.

fozzie on 19/06/2015 - 18:19

sweet deal op! main problem I dont is that I don't need a new phone, as I have an iphone 5 with the optus unlimited plus 8gb @$40 (as I have broadband with them too.). I still haven't worked out how mych internet I need, as this month I used too much thanks to Googlephotos. (I was on the ($20 a month with 1GB and managed to go above 1.5gb!). I will definitely keep in mind if I notice that I don't need so much data. For an extra $5 a brand new S5 is very tempting.
- Cheap Rich Guy on 20/06/2015 - 12:07
  
  There should be a setting in your phone that disables mobile data at a level you select. This will prevent you going over your allowance and incurring further charges.
congo on 19/06/2015 - 18:21

Would it be hard selling the handset?
Won't buyers be a bit sus?
- webtherapist on 19/06/2015 - 18:22
  
  if you plan to resell the handset, get S5, easier than HTC One M8

      @joshuah:
      
      What? They're locking you into a $1080 contract. They get rid of their old phones. They win?
      
      Edit: Just in case you didn't realize. There is a new HTC M9 and Samsung S6. The M8 and S5 will devalue greatly the longer they hold onto their stock. The offer may not come back, because they've exhausted their old stock - exactly what they want to do.
    - Krazyy on 19/06/2015 - 18:51
      
      @rompastompa:
      But do you honestly think they have several thousand of these spare? And as already indicated they have "run out of stock"… where do you expect them to pull "old stock" (as suggested from you) from?
    - lostn on 19/06/2015 - 18:55
      
      @joshuah: The phone isn't discontinued. I'm pretty sure Telstra will continue stocking and selling them as will other retailers.
      
      Whether they will be part of this deal is another matter.

      @joshuah: I don't work for Telstra or have any knowledge on how they do business.
      
      There are 371 Telstra stores in Australia.
      
      You would assume each store would have several on hand at any given time. When they received new stock of the M9/S6, old stock would be sent back to the warehouse.
      
      It would not be unreasonable to assume they have several thousand of both phones spare - and where did you get several thousand from? Only 257 gave this deal a positive vote - and many of which may just think this is a good bargain, not actually purchase.

I would go as far to say we have ground to demand they honour this deal since they accepted the order and provided a confirmation.

If you get denied the plan or advised they dont have stock then demand and ask for a manager, continue arguing until you get what you signed up for.

If its a stock issue request they give another phone of equal or greater value then (e.g s6)

And tell them you will go public with it and post online of your dissatisfaction and poor service.

Ozbargainers unite!

    I love the gorilla approach. Viva le resistance.
    
    Telstra should honor it because it is a good deal that will bring customers to their network.
    
    They should honor because a large portion of people will go well over their 2 gb and end up paying more then some of the more premium plans.
    
    They won't because its Telstra and they don't need to compete because they have monoply over the network whcih tax payers paid for and continue to pay for ( through all the government contracts they have a monoply over).
