Telstra is offering the $40 Data Share plan that includes the HTC One M8, ~~Galaxy S~~5 or the ~~iPhone 5C (if any stores have stock left)~~ or Sony Xperia Z3 Compact for 24 months. New plans and port-ins also get $100 welcome credit. The $40 plan normally comes with 100mb since it taps into your base plan's data quotas, but a bonus 1gb will be provided for as long as you have the service for.

You can also pick up a Galaxy Tab A 4G for an extra $15 which taps into your other mobile's data pool.

$200 welcome credit is also applicable to new plans and port in's taking up the $95, $135, $195 handset plans or $70 BYO plan.

Note: You need an existing service as this plan is an attachment to a primary service (eg, $70 Go Mobile or $70 Accelerate Share plan)

This should turn out much better than the previous deal. :)

  Not really, you need to have an existing plan with them.
  - eug on 24/06/2015 - 00:49
    
    Yes, now that it's 100% clear, nobody will be trying to sign up, failing, and getting frustrated.
- ronnknee on 24/06/2015 - 08:05
  
  900 MB less data.

duodeta on 24/06/2015 - 00:58

for new customer or existing ones?
- AssociatedLolwutMikka @ Telstra on 24/06/2015 - 01:03
  
  Both, but new customers get $100 credit on their bill
  - duodeta on 24/06/2015 - 01:06
    
    when it finishes？ telstra web says before 29 June
- Krazyy on 24/06/2015 - 01:03
  
  for all, they offer it to everyone who walks into the telstra store.. so not sure if this is a "bargain" or not.

Why can't you get this on the $45 Go Casual Plan? It was an option on the sign up form.
- MickeyG on 24/06/2015 - 08:39
  
  Where does it state you can't?
  
  I'm wondering where it says you'll get 1GB of bonus data. Can't see it on this page:
  https://www.telstra.com.au/latest-offers/bring-the-whole-fam…
  - sc00bie on 24/06/2015 - 12:56
    
    Yes, me too….I do know that you can add it to your $45 Go Casual Plan, but no additional data is given
- hen dawg on 24/06/2015 - 11:59
  
  This would be great to know if that's possible
Ahan on 24/06/2015 - 08:02

Assuming staff plan not eligible?
syswong on 24/06/2015 - 08:32

So I guess no luck to add this if I am on the $10 friends and family plan?
hen dawg on 24/06/2015 - 10:49

Are customers on business plans eligible in the same way?
- AssociatedLolwutMikka @ Telstra on 24/06/2015 - 19:59
  
  Yes
Associatedsuperbass @ Telstra on 24/06/2015 - 11:37

Do we know if you can you attached this to $39 staff plan?
- AssociatedLolwutMikka @ Telstra on 24/06/2015 - 19:59
  
  Nah, plan had to be a share plan

I ported from my $39 Telstra family and friends Staff Plan to the $45 Go plan from last week.
And I just ported my wife from TPG onto this $40 plan.
It all went very smoothly.
Now we have 3.1gb of data to share between us.
Got the $100 welcome credit.
And two new phones.
- sc00bie on 24/06/2015 - 11:52
  
  how did you do that (porting your wife's account), through talking with them or online. I'm also interested in doing this if it comes with data…
  - talismansa on 24/06/2015 - 12:51
    
    Just called the number from this page.
    https://www.telstra.com.au/latest-offers/bring-the-whole-fam…
    - sc00bie on 24/06/2015 - 12:54
      
      did that last night and they informed me that the share $40 plan only gives you the unlimited talk and text but no additional data….
    - talismansa on 24/06/2015 - 12:56
      
      @sc00bie: Well I was told I'd get 1gb bonus.
    - sc00bie on 24/06/2015 - 12:59
      
      @talismansa: Ok, might give it another go tonight then…..
    - talismansa on 24/06/2015 - 13:04
      
      @sc00bie: If they deny it, just keep pressing them on it. When I was on the phone with them, they told me only the iphone 5c is available to this offer. Then I told them to check again, and they checked and confirmed I was correct.
    - sc00bie on 24/06/2015 - 18:12
      
      @talismansa: tried again, the operator reiterated no additional data….you must be lucky….additional data is $10 more…..
    - MickeyG on 24/06/2015 - 18:20
      
      @sc00bie: O.P. or Mod needs to alter the deal to reflect that the 1GB bonus data is not guaranteed.
    - talismansa on 24/06/2015 - 18:31
      
      @sc00bie: Hmm very interesting. I wonder how I can check my data allowance.
    - jjjjjj on 25/06/2015 - 09:29
      
      @sc00bie: has anyone else got the 1GB data?
    - talismansa on 25/06/2015 - 09:30
      
      @sc00bie: Telstra just called me to inform me that I was given incorrect information about the 1gb of data. So they gave me the option of cancelling the order or take the order without the 1gb bonus.
      
      DISAPPOINTED!
    - jjjjjj on 25/06/2015 - 10:39
      
      @talismansa: i called them as well. They told me that the $45/m plan is not eligible because it is go mobile casual plan. only go mobile plans are eligible.
    - talismansa on 25/06/2015 - 11:53
      
      @jjjjjj: What?! If they call me back telling me that they're cancelling the plan I'm gonna be very pissed!
    - jjjjjj on 25/06/2015 - 15:44
      
      @talismansa: Are you on the $45 go casual plan? They gave you this $40 share plan?
    - talismansa on 25/06/2015 - 15:54
      
      @jjjjjj: yes I'm on the $45 go casual plan. I am at the Telstra shop right now cancelling the order I made over the phone yesterday, and redoing the order in person. All because they can't get their act together at the warehouse to send out the phone.
      
      And now they're telling me their systems are down for porting phone numbers so I just wasted a trip to the shop. Have to come back again in 2 hours.
    - talismansa on 25/06/2015 - 18:52
      
      @jjjjjj: I just signed the papers and walked out with the phone. So I guess there's no doubt you can pair it with the $45 go casual plan.
    - abacus on 25/06/2015 - 19:41
      
      Same story, I was on live chat for 3 hours this morning and then again for an hour this avo. Activated the $45 plan last night, still can't make phone calls.
    - sc00bie on 26/06/2015 - 03:45
      
      @talismansa: what about the extra data…100mb or 1gb?
    - jjjjjj on 26/06/2015 - 08:41
      
      @talismansa: I was told that I am not eligible straight away. you guys must be good at negotiations.
    - jjjjjj on 26/06/2015 - 19:56
      
      @sc00bie: I just got it via online chat. yes 1GB bonus is included.
    - sc00bie on 26/06/2015 - 22:53
      
      @jjjjjj: I guess like all large business things takes a while to filter through….I went to the original $45/month link & successfully register a port for my wife there…..got a confirmation email…. $5 more but i get 2gb so I'm not complaining…..
    - talismansa on 27/06/2015 - 13:51
      
      @jjjjjj: You should confirm that after you get the phone. I was told I'd get the 1gb too, but then they said I wouldn't after I asked about it the next day.
    - jjjjjj on 28/06/2015 - 13:56
      
      @talismansa: show them your chat record (I hope you saved a copy.). It is a form of contract. They can't contract you first then changed their mind.
    - talismansa on 28/06/2015 - 17:21
      
      @jjjjjj: I called them so I have no record of it. So I guess I got (profanity).
      
      Update me when you have the contract they send out to you. Hopefully I can use it to get the extra gb.
    - jjjjjj on 30/06/2015 - 13:48
      
      @talismansa: No I still have not receive any paper work. Chat with them again. They said it's on its way. Just wait.
    - talismansa on 30/06/2015 - 13:53
      
      @jjjjjj: strangely enough I got an automated text an hour ago informing me that my shared data plan is now 3.1gb.
      
      And looking at my Telstra 24x7 app, my wife's data allowance has now been increased to 1gb.
      
      So I guess that guy that called me up has no idea what he's talking about.
    - jjjjjj on 30/06/2015 - 14:15
      
      @talismansa: as per usual…I will be very glade once everyone be settled down.
- jjjjjj on 24/06/2015 - 15:41
  
  so $85/m you get 2 new phones+unlimited calls and text+3.1GB of data /m+ $100 credit.
  - kogi on 24/06/2015 - 16:57

    - MickeyG on 07/07/2015 - 14:33
      
      What phone did you get?
      The online store says they're out of M8's but Sony Xperia are still in stock.
      
      I might have to try a Telstra shop.
    - edw0000000 on 07/07/2015 - 14:37
      
      @MickeyG:
      i sign up the $40 in store
      u can call them the check the stock level
      both are htc m8 one grey and one sliver
    - MickeyG on 07/07/2015 - 14:42
      
      @edw0000000: Thanks. I just rang the store closest to me and they're also out of M8's but they said they should get some stock in the next day or so.

it baffles me why people still use telstra making the whole 'they have the best service' claim,
most other providers work just as well and are like half the price with better phone deals
- talismansa on 25/06/2015 - 13:49

  Can you recommend one? Seriously. Telstra is screwing me around with my order and I will cancel my order if you can find a similar or better deal.
  - [Deactivated] on 25/06/2015 - 18:33
    
    even just look at vodafone or optus,
    I've been with vodafone for a while and I never understood why people said their services are bad,
    never had a problem, data speeds fast,
    
    even other than the major providers there are soo many others
    
    oh and if you're not looking for a new phone and just a plan check out amaysim

  Two different uses of the word service.
  
  Service being the coverage = best.
  Service being the support = meh.
rompastompa on 25/06/2015 - 18:42

It would be good if a land-line was counted as an existing service :/
MickeyG on 30/06/2015 - 17:33

Looks like this offer (not sure about the bonus 1GB though) has been extended to the 3rd of August. They've even added Sony handsets into the mix.

Merged from Telstra Shared SIM - $40 p.m - 24 Months - 1GB Data - HTC One M8/Xperia Z3 Compact

This appears to be a good deal to go along with the $45 Go Mobile Casual Plan posted recently. You can add an additional service to your account by paying $40 per month. There are no repayments for the mobile. You get the following on the shared SIM.

Unlimited calls/texts to standard Australian numbers

1 GB Bonus data (applicable for the duration of contract i.e. 24 months)

Choice between HTC One M8 or Sony Xperia Z3 Compact

1 time $100 Welcome credit

If you took advantage of the $45 Go Mobile plan, by adding this additional service, you would be paying $85 ($45+$40) per month for unlimited calls, "free" mobiles and 3GB data (shared). Additional data is $10 per GB. So this would be a good deal for people who use approx. 2GB per month.
- Axelstrife on 08/07/2015 - 22:31
  
  Can you do this but keep your current phone number? so separate numbers fro the main and shared plan?
- MickeyG on 08/07/2015 - 22:50
  
  Online store says HTC One M8 is out of stock. Only Z3 Compact available.
  
  This deal has already been posted (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/199910) except no Galaxy S5 or iPhone 5c anymore.

    The online store had no issues with me being on the $45 casual plan except i cancelled because i wanted the M8.
- Lancerx on 08/07/2015 - 23:16
  
  so which one HTC M8, Xperia z3, or S5?
  - MickeyG on 08/07/2015 - 23:20
    
    Only HTC One M8 or Sony Xperia Z3 Compact but the HTC is currently out of stock.
MickeyG on 09/07/2015 - 17:18

Just got my missus put onto this deal on the back of my $45 Go Mobile casual plan with free Galaxy S5.
Data shows 3.1GB shared between both services.

HTC One M8 is on backorder though. :(
- MickeyG on 24/07/2015 - 18:44
  
  Well, after 2 weeks of waiting and countless calls and chat sessions with Telstra CSC's, the phone is finally on the way.
  As there were no M8's in stock, I upgraded to the M9 and am happy with the outcome.
  I've lost count of how many times I've had to explain this promotion to the consultants and even show them how to find it on Telstra's website.
  - reu on 28/07/2015 - 18:50
    
    How much for the upgrade can I ask? I'm trying to sell my M8 which is still sealed in box but if I could take it back for an upgrade, I'd consider it.
ciab on 19/07/2015 - 17:09

Just went instore and tried to get the s5 and they said it would be an extra $6p/m. The only free handsets are the HTC and Sony
