PRESTO

Recently signed up for Telstra's XL Bundle, unfortunately, the code for 6 months of free Presto was nowhere to be seen.

After waiting weeks, I decided to take it up with Telstra's 24/7 Chat. The kind gentleman informed me that I could SMS the word 'PRESTO' to 0498 500 400 and receive the special code… PRESTO! It worked.

Also got a few friends to try this that aren't on the Telstra network, and all were successful.

Another code thanks to RogueWolf6 in case the SMS feature above doesn't give you one: TELB6MTH615

Just saw this promo on my T-BOX under information/news, don't think its targeted, find out soon I guess

      OP, add: "CREDIT CARD REQUIRED" in Title

      So, do you get only TV or only Movies or Both?

      Either way… Guessing why it's Free:

      So, How to Get this - via a Non-Telstra wired Internet service - onto an Android device, that's NOT a phone?

      "Register your Code by 3 Aug 2015"…???

      I didn't even want it for free. I signed up, it didnt work and was poor quality and I just cancelled the account. Signing up and maintaining a free account just encourages their bad behaviour.

      • NeggerOfDeals on 24/07/2015 - 09:46

        poor quality

        Hence I haven't watched one thing since getting the first 6 months free.

        it's not even HD. Why would anyone pay for Presto!?

        People who either don't know better or just don't care about watching things reduced to VHS quality on their 60"+ TV.

          What has put the FoG (Fear of God) into our grumblers,
          that prevents them from NEGGING what they do not like?

          Probably that undemocratic part of OzB (ie, the option
          to Neg a Negger (Note to Mods: That's NOT the N word.)

          @IVI: the deal is not for me and the reason why as stated….but for others who dont know better or dont care its great…..certainly not neg worthy

        • IVI on 14/08/2015 - 14:46

          @ugoagogo:

          Each voter can decide for themselves what's "Neg Worthy"

          This is the idea of Democracy… I vote as I will, until OzB's "herd mentality" variation of Democracy ERASES my negs… (!)

          @xsacha: where was this when I was young.

      • AngryAlfred on 23/07/2015 - 19:45

        Do you have Lollipop? Install to the secure zone.

        • JoelT on 23/07/2015 - 20:22

          My device is in a strange limbo. I turned S-OFF and updated it to a lollipop 5.1.1 GPE rom a few months. Which means it's no longer really rooted and I need to manually re-root it (although Presto still detects it). That requires me wiping all phone data, which I'm not really willing to do right now for silly Presto. Hide My Root does nothing because it doesn't see it as rooted.

          I've not heard of this secure zone before, nor can find anything about it readily online. Do you mind elaborating?

        • AngryAlfred on 23/07/2015 - 21:01

          @JoelT:

          Secure zone is a separate part of the phone with it's own data files etc. So with my Lenovo I have the open zone which is rooted, then further in the phone I have secure zone which has it's own separate password protection and is unrooted where I keep bank apps and the like. It's basically Android within Android.

          Having a look online now it looks like it might be a Lenovo only thing, sorry to have got your hopes up but I genuinely thought it was a standard Lollipop feature.

      I also have the same question. Looks like it is better to pause my existing subscription which is also on 6 months free :-) and take the new one.

      • samlor on 24/07/2015 - 09:43

        Really? Didn't know that pausing subscription was available. That'd be a workaround for stacking using additional subscriptions/email addresses, thanks.

    A search for that number and Telstra help/chat says you can actually sms anything you want to the number and get a code. ie doesn't need to be presto that you send.

    Of course those posts didn't point out that it would send a code to anyone - not just valid Telstra customers ;)

  • killergreely on 23/07/2015 - 19:09

    You want to cancel it in a bit less than 6 months. There's no phone support (that should raise some alarms), so you can't do it that way. You can only cancel on their website, from a PC, not from a phone or a tablet. Currently logins to their site aren't working (maybe because of this post), so you can't login to cancel at all.

  • Magdallion on 23/07/2015 - 19:12

    Sweet. Worked. Thanks…usually id be sure that this wouldnt end well but i Dont reckon they can cancel this coz would be too hard to work out who is legit and whos not if the testra CS reps are dishing this out all day long.

    In saying that please dont go too stupid and give it out to all and sundry, and only use it if you dont already have a free sub- youll not only ruin it for the rest of us but also for the OP and friends who could have kept this quiet for themself.

  • nospirit on 23/07/2015 - 19:21

    Thanks OP!

    There's no clear indications as to how many devices can connect simultaneously, like during netflix setup. Found the answer in FAQ, in case anyone else is wondering.

    How many devices can I watch movies on at the same time?

    Two of your four registered devices can be actively playing a movie or a TV show at any given time. Remember if you are casting from your Chromecast, this counts as two concurrent streams.

  • fredblogs on 23/07/2015 - 19:24

        Correct.

        You can only UNLOCK it using tablet apps :)

        If you have tablet download Presto. Anytime app (on google play) and you can log in there and unlock your adult sensation :)

        same thing with iPad.

        Does not work on Presto smartphone apps though and website.
