PRESTO

This deal has supposedly expired and the original thread has it marked thusly but a comment down the the bottom said they'd used it a few days ago and it is still working today…

So… REPOST.
Want 6 months of free Presto, Netflix' special needs equivalent?

Text "PRESTO" to 0498 500 400 to receive your code. Was told that its meant to be for Telstra customers only and offer expired in October but just did it then and signed up.

You'll still need a credit/debit card to verify account.

Mod: To remind yourself to cancel/review your Presto before the 6 month trial ends, hit the NEW Reminder link below where you can auto-add this event to your Google Calendar, iPhone etc. as well as custom date OzBargain reminders.

    Can you watch it in High Definition?

    • jonathonsunshine on 03/11/2015 - 14:38

      I heard HD doesn't work through the browser, only apps.

  • 2ndeffort on 03/11/2015 - 14:34

    Thanks OP

  • INFIDEL on 03/11/2015 - 14:36

    My first time using ChromeCast. Had bought one for $24.50, only because others were buying. Didn't know any thing about product. It's been sitting around for 3 months waiting for a use, as I don't have home WiFi.

    So downloaded ChromeCast & Presto to an old Huawei G526 (Android 4.1.2), & tethered to a 4G Huawei Y550. Set up & watching movies :-)

    • jonathonsunshine on 03/11/2015 - 14:37

      I think you'll burn through your mobile data pretty quickly…

      • INFIDEL on 03/11/2015 - 14:39

        Thanks for the warning & the deal.
        (I've got way too much data & growing, so that's why I'm doing it. Mobile data is the only connection I have. After an hour, my available data has hardly decreased.)

        Seeing how easy ChromeCast was to set up, I'll now try other services. I got ChromeCast for overseas trips, when I have TV & fast internet access in room.

    hah - I thought it was six months of free "Pesto". I was thinking yum!

    • OBEY YOUR MASTERS on 03/11/2015 - 17:15

      Yes I would prefer the pesto too please.

      • SnakeDoctor on 03/11/2015 - 19:06

        Agreed, 6 months of free pesto press

    Won't let me choose R18+. I am pretty certain I entered my correct birth year and I am well and truly over 18.

      This issue pops up every time…

      Rather than repost the stuff discussed on page 1 of this thread here's the offical statement from the Presto Mods.

      https://community.presto.com.au/t5/Technical-Help-Other/Unlo…

      "In order to prevent innapropriate material being viewed by minors, accounts are unable to be left unrestricted. In the instance that you wish to view R18+ content, you will be prompted to enter your Presto PIN. So not to worry, we're not censoring your viewing habits!"

      • [Deactivated] on 03/11/2015 - 15:47

        I was literally typing that out as you replied :)

        Kind of dumb. Surely I can make the decision to completely unlock my account as I am the only one who'll use it and there aren't any kids in my house anyway.

        Oh well. Can't complain too much for 6 months free.

        • kfuerza on 03/11/2015 - 15:49

          It's not intuitive but as someone with kids…I get it.

      • jonathonsunshine on 04/11/2015 - 18:13

        yeah, can't let your kids watch anything R18+ by accident, it's ok if they accidentally end up watching this though… https://youtu.be/rouaDXgOkLs?t=1m54s

  • miicah on 03/11/2015 - 16:06

    Does pause subscription work the way I think it does? I already have a free 6 months (from September) and can't seem to add another code. Could I pause that account then start up another, leaving me with 4 months (paused) and 6 months (active)?

  • crml on 03/11/2015 - 16:19

    I'm with Virgin and it worked. Cheers OP!

  • nakahanap on 03/11/2015 - 16:23

    Thanks.

  • Polde on 03/11/2015 - 16:25

    Was going to jump on this, until I realized the supported devices. Was really hoping for game console support.

    Is it worth signing up, and waiting until they create one?. I remember reading early impressions that it crashed often on other devices.

  • arazad on 03/11/2015 - 16:27

    Thank you. Great deal :)

  • JepunK on 03/11/2015 - 17:01

    I guess that's why I have chrome installed.

    6 months free presto…. still not worth

  • gattman on 03/11/2015 - 21:54

    Went to pause the subscription so I don't have to worry about being charged down the track and saw this

    Our Presto content is frequently updated so if you decide to pause your subscription, remember to check back in often to see what’s new. You can continue watching Presto content until the subscription expiry date on 04/12/2015

    So its not 6 months only a month

    • huubang on 04/11/2015 - 09:21

      That is because of the 1 month trial. So your next billing date is 4 December and afterwards it will be 6 month free

  • mudkipz on 03/11/2015 - 23:02

    How do I "cancel" the subscription, so that it won't bill later, but still have access to content for the next 6 months?

    • Jad on 04/11/2015 - 09:12

      Cancel/pause the subscription anytime in the final month and it see out the rest of that month and not charge renewal. Set a reminder or calendar on your computer/phone.

  • Fred on 03/11/2015 - 23:57

    Thanks jonathonsunshine, apart from Flight of the Conchords not sure what to watch :)

      Watch The Newsroom if you like drama. The cast is great and the production is very polished.

  • Aneurism on 04/11/2015 - 00:44

    Wow, it's still low resolution..makes me not even want to watch it even if it's free

  • ajthanud on 04/11/2015 - 09:23

    still working, i used a different credit card and email to set up my second account for 6 months.

  • krisp on 04/11/2015 - 09:50

    It worked for me! Have now 6 months free access to Presto. I'm on Optus.

    Trouble is, Presto app is fixed to display vertically only. It makes it impossible to use it on my Hisense Android TV (unless I rotate TV to vertical position… yes… sure…)
    Even if I manage to operate it rotated on my TV, it is still very unstable and crashes ever few minutes, making watching movies impossible.

    Anyone has maybe any better experience or solution how to use Presto on Android TV? Or is it only a crappy app for mobiles?

  • alterego13 on 04/11/2015 - 11:09

    "Your message did not match an active promotion and was not processed."
    :/

    • blahoz on 04/11/2015 - 11:15

      I tried this and got the message too after I sent the sms to the specified number

      • alterego13 on 04/11/2015 - 12:00

        You on Vodafone? Not sure if that matters. The guy below is on Telstra and didn't work for him. Strange

        • blahoz on 04/11/2015 - 12:49

          hah! odd isnt it… I sent it using an Optus number

  • decryption on 04/11/2015 - 11:13

    I sent an SMS to the number and got the response: "Your message did not match an active promotion and was not processed" http://imgur.com/wQHgMla :(

  • klaw81 on 04/11/2015 - 11:38

    Worked for me - I had just cancelled my last free 6 month trial, which expires in a few days.
    I created a new account with a different email address and CC number just in case.

  • FredAstair on 04/11/2015 - 13:08

    If you are not a telstra customer what does it mean by 'coyuld be charged extra data charges"?

    • strangeloops66 on 04/11/2015 - 17:56

      It means it's unmetered for Telstra customers; for other ISPs, the data streamed is counted towards your quota, and if you exceed your quota for the period because you're watching to much Presto, OUCH!

  • Akya on 04/11/2015 - 15:39

    Just tried it and got the reply of "Your message did not match an active promotion and was no processed." Oh well.

    Yep. It's finished now. Too late :(

  • ashchay on 04/11/2015 - 21:37

    It's still working guys. I JUST signed up!

    • ashchay on 04/11/2015 - 21:38

      I signed up with that link someone pasted on page 2, not the SMS

    Why is it marked expired? I just did it 5 mins ago. try this code if you are unable to get the sms TEL515TBV3

    • adam456 on 05/11/2015 - 01:10

      your code worked, thanks!

      • legelas on 05/11/2015 - 12:39

        all credit go to the guy on page 2 :)

  • brendanb on 06/11/2015 - 19:14

    The OP has indeed expired. I tried texting PRESTO to the given number and it replied "Your message did not match any active promotion and was not processed". However, I can confirm this link https://www.presto.com.au/telstra with generic promo code TEL515TBV3 still works. I am not a Telstra broadband user though my wife has a Telstra mobile phone.

  • knobbs on 09/11/2015 - 09:49

    After signing up for the 6 months I have just noticed that Presto have requested to charge me $1.00 under "Presto - Subscription Sy". Anyone else have this?

    • brendanb on 09/11/2015 - 10:00
      +2

      Maybe a test payment to ensure your credit card details are valid. This is normal practice and should be refunded afterwards. You should follow it up in a week if not.

        its just a hold, it'll go away. Had this happen last time.
