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

      Try again. It worked for me the second time I entered it.

      • [Deactivated] on 23/07/2015 - 19:52

        I copy pasted it from the message and still not working, no white spaces either. I'm a Telstra customer as well

        • dealhunting007 on 23/07/2015 - 19:57

          I sent text to that mob number mentioned above and it came with unique code. Used that and it worked like charm :)

          @b4rgainhunter: My code was not working. I texted that number and got another code. Now it worked for me. Thanks

    worked thank you.

    but until they get a smart tv (lg) app its pretty useless.

      It was a mistake to buy a smart TV.

      Their software gets outdated and they're expensive. Better to buy a cheap dongle that you can replace and update.

  • aam on 23/07/2015 - 19:50

    worked for me, thank you!!

  • shoppertrina on 23/07/2015 - 19:50

    Worked for me on amaysim. The promo code wasn't recognised first time but worked when I reentered it so may have been my fault. The promo code is pretty long so be careful typing it in.

    FYI, if this promo code doesn't work, just send PRESTO to 0498 500 400 and Telstra will send you new code. You can use any mobile network.

    • Hargain Bunter on 24/07/2015 - 00:54

      Cheers mihiroffer. I heard if that promo code also doesn't work, you can just send PRESTO to 0498 500 400 and Telsta will send you a new code. You can use any mobile network.

      I got that too went back changed my password and it worked I figure either I did a typo and they didn't match or the password wasn't to presto's liking(week), their website too dumb to give a useful error message

  • tpopi on 23/07/2015 - 20:05

    PRESTO SMS worked (on Telstra phone), sign-up worked, streaming movies worked (5 minutes ago)!

  • cjmorgan87 on 23/07/2015 - 20:05

    Awesome Thanks OP
    Worked for me!

    Does anyone know if it's unmetered for Telstra customers? (https://support.telstra.com.au/t5/Manage/BigPond-unmetered-s…)
    The telstra website says that it is "Unmetered sites let BigPond Broadband Members on ADSL, Cable or Mobile Broadband plans (excluding hourly plans) access downloads, video streams and editorial content without affecting their monthly usage limit"

    But the text message that comes with the bonus code says Data Charges Apply :(

    I'm currently only on mobile 4G while I wait for my phone line to be installed so I'm really hoping I can watch TV again

    • cjmorgan87 on 23/07/2015 - 20:08

      Don't worry, saw this
      "Data charges apply for using Presto over any mobile network.
      Use on a Telstra Home Broadband connection won’t count towards your data allowance. "
      During sign up :(

  • tight-ass on 23/07/2015 - 20:28

    Looks like I'll have to settle for watching Presto on my PC……the android app keeps crashing every single time, which explains why the app has such a low rating by those who downloaded it

    • neonlight on 24/07/2015 - 10:28

      Yeah might as well….Can you use Chrome browser and cast it to TV?

      Maybe that's the ONLY option to get on TV as Android app stinks

      • tight-ass on 24/07/2015 - 10:52

        Not an option unfortunately. I can't see Presto being very competitive with such a lousy app

          Agree with you. Their Android app totally rubbish.

          In fact I have not heard of Presto until now. Even being Free doesn't mean much if you can't even use it. Let alone ppl had to pay for it?

    • tight-ass on 23/07/2015 - 20:40

      continue the sign up process (without selecting R18+ -because you can't select it yet). Then find the adults only movie you want to watch and you'll need to enter our pin to access it. PIN needs to be entered each time you want to watch some semi-porn

        • BonsaiBill on 24/07/2015 - 06:32

          They don't have any porn and only a handful of R-rated movies (most so old that they'd be rated M these days).

  • wreckedandjealous on 23/07/2015 - 20:37

    anyone know if you can cancel straight away, and then the subscription continues for the 6 months? when when you cancel does it do it straight away (ie: you need to wait until 5.8 months is up before you cancel)?

    • tight-ass on 23/07/2015 - 20:41

      I cancelled straight away and logged back in and it advises the end date of your subscription doesn't change regardless

      • Slo20 on 23/07/2015 - 20:48

        I'm pretty sure if you cancel straight away your account gets cancelled at the end of that billing month.

    • stevem42 on 23/07/2015 - 20:49

      Says in the sign up process, cancel any time during the trial period, but service stops at the end of that month (that you cancel)

      • stevem42 on 24/07/2015 - 10:38

        Not sure that'll work. Silly thing is you can install it from Google play, but when you open the app you get the "your device is not currently supported" display.

  • Diji1 on 23/07/2015 - 21:24

    So it sounds like a service you wouldn't want to use if it was free.

    This is supposed to be the viable alternative to getting every show you like free and legally and at bitrates in excess of 15Mbit with zero cost or hassle according to Philosopher Prince of Broadband Malcom Turnbull.

  • Talonparty on 23/07/2015 - 21:35
    +1

    Thanks very much, there doesn't appear to be a way to stack it with the one from march so I might just cancel that account and make a new one. Presto isn't that good, the quality is shit but the webplayer is reasonably good and their selection offers some stuff that netflix doesn't have.

    I might regret wishing for a monopoly but I wish it would just fail already so that there's none of this exclusivity nonsense which makes our netflix library so much less awesome than the american one. I don't want to have to be paying for three subscription services just to get the same sort of range :(

    • Alzori on 23/07/2015 - 23:24

      The exclusivity nonsense is not the reason the range is worse - the US has plenty of exclusivity with Hulu and HBO Go having their own shows among many other streaming providers.

      A more likely reason our library doesn't stack up is the fact that Netflix Australia only just launched so it hasn't had time to grow. Also the US has far more subscribers both per capita and in raw numbers than us meaning Netflix can afford to spend more on streaming rights there. (We have 1m subscribers with a population of 23m, they have 45m subscribers and a population of 320m)

      • Talonparty on 24/07/2015 - 15:41

        There's got to be some component of exclusivity to it. For example, I love the warner bros cartoons on the american netflix (justice league etc.) but they aren't on the Aussie one. I think Channel 9 has the rights to these cartoons (they are played on GO) and I am sure that this presents a barrier to them being on netflix since Channel 9 might have an interest in another streaming product or an intent to bring one to market (or they just don't want to give netflix anything).

        Do you really think that some of the stuff presto and stan get is not done with the intention to keep it exclusive to provide an advantage over netflix?

  • giventofly on 23/07/2015 - 21:44

    As someone said, it is not good as Netflix, but hey it is free for 6 months and it seems all movies are there. Only thing that I'm worrying is how difficult it would be to cancel my subscription after 6 months.

  • anonymoususer on 23/07/2015 - 21:59

    2012: E Series, All Sizes
    2013: F Series, All Sizes
    2014: H Series, All Sizes

    Not compatible with my Samsung 7.7 tablet or the missus's Galaxy S3…

    So now I need to figure out the best way to make use of it. Probably lie untouched for 6 months..
