Who needs to go hunting through through Coles for kits, when good guy Telstra just dropped another $5 of their discounted starter kits from their online store.

Potentially limited to 3 per card, as was the case last time through the cashback deal.

*Woolworths: seems some stores only according to comments

Coles until next Tuesday 17th - thanks to kyliet

      Just get them to scan it. The woolies I went to also had no idea until they scanned it.

  • edw0000000 on 13/11/2015 - 16:38

    when i activate the sim, do i need to recreate a new acc? or i can add it into my existing acc?

    • snvl on 13/11/2015 - 17:08

      Existing is fine

  • random ozbargainer on 13/11/2015 - 16:38

    Can anyone clarify if they needed to give ID when buying the SIMs? And which store it was from? Thanks

    • hollykryten on 13/11/2015 - 16:40

      When i bought a Telstra SIM starter from Coles i didn't need to show ID there. The ID check happens on the online activation.

      • random ozbargainer on 13/11/2015 - 16:40

        Ok, thank you for the clarification!

      • brisdaz on 20/11/2015 - 14:04

        Actually it depends on the store. At Woolworth Camp Hill I was asked for 100 points of ID. They sighted my drivers licence, bank card and Medicare card.

        Can anyone point to regulations which show you don't need to anymore if Telstra still require ID?

        • brisdaz on 20/11/2015 - 16:04

          I was asked because I had more then 5 SIMs out.

        • hollykryten on 20/11/2015 - 17:09

          100 point ID is required through the online SIM activation, not on purchase. The store must be stuck in the old days when ID was required on purchase at the store since there was no online activation in the day.

          There's no point having to supply the 100 point ID in store then having to supply the 100 points of ID again when activating the SIM online.

        • hollykryten on 20/11/2015 - 17:16

          And those same details are recorded on the online activation. So there was absolutely no need for that Woolworths staff member to record those details. Telstra does the 100 point ID check to abide by government regulation through the online activation. Talk about the staff being anal for no reason.

    • murkywater on 13/11/2015 - 16:54

      You need to show ID when picking up Telstra Sims (delivery or AusPost). Generally not when ordering online from other stores, or picking up at Coles/Woolworths etc.

      • random ozbargainer on 13/11/2015 - 16:56

        Thanks! Will go get some instore at Coles or Woolies then.

      • Garagesale on 20/11/2015 - 15:45

        woolworths are pretty anal here about id and spend 5 min per sim typing in details.
        on rare occasions they will just sell without id.

        you need to then use id to register the sim.
        telstra is ultra strict on this.

        • brisdaz on 20/11/2015 - 16:05

          It's not Telstra but government regulations.

        • hollykryten on 20/11/2015 - 17:18

          I guess those Woolworths staff members don't know that the 100 point ID check is done online through SIM activation. They must be recording those details in store for absolutely no reason and wasting the stores time and people waiting at the counter.

  • gilbarc on 13/11/2015 - 16:50

        Yep, tried scanning at the self serve checkout, then tried asking at the service desk. They knew nothing about it.

        • robertm on 16/11/2015 - 16:54

          Scanned at a Woolies self serve checkout on Gold Coast today and was $10. I wonder if this offer is only in certain states? Seems a bit strange for it to not work sometimes?

        • gilbarc on 16/11/2015 - 19:09

          @robertm: I'm in QLD too, so doesn't seem to be state-based.

      Hang on, why do you ned to mention that the store manager is Indian? It has no relevance to your story. I'm not Inidan myslef, but this kind of casual racism bothers the hell out of me.

      • lostn on 15/11/2015 - 12:17

        I don't think it's racism just to mention that a person is Indian, any more than it would be racist to say the stupid Australian store manager denied me.

        Is it racist to be called an Australian?

        A lot of details aren't relevant. Bringing it up doesn't make you racist.

    Bought a $50 Giftcard ! Get the $30 Telstra for $0 :)

    The staff scanned and asked for $10, and after few secs went down to $0 !!! And she said OMGGGGG

    Also, tried go to Harvey Norman to get pricematch, to get rid my HN Giftcard

    Staff refused and say, Telstra price is only ONLINE ONLY and Officeworks price is only INSTORE ONLY
    WTF??? He says it need to be available **ONLINE & INSTORE , STUPIDDD

    • cowiie on 13/11/2015 - 21:11

      What gift card did you buy to get this for free? Coles Myer?

        • lostn on 14/11/2015 - 01:50

          I'm still a bit confused. $10 off next shop, applies to Woolies where you buy the GC, or at the place you are spending the GC at?

        • imcold on 14/11/2015 - 01:53

          in summary you have to pay a $7 to cover the gift card fee + $50 for the gift card..

          To get $10 off your next shop.

          But 66% off google play credit beats 25% of apple credit any day.

        • Spending2Much on 14/11/2015 - 04:37

          @imcold:
          $7
          So it actually costs you $57?

          Negating the $10 off next shop.

    No stock at Kadina SA Woolworths, and they had no knowledge of this deal either, so would not permit a raincheck.

          Went in the next day and apparently limit is 5?

          I was called dishonest by the checkout chick as I was Inna group. They specified it was a per person limit not group or household.

      • brisdaz on 16/11/2015 - 16:36

        I rang the stores above but as it was on my way I went into the store and apparently Woolworth's Camp Hill does have some in stock. I got 5 so now it doesn't :P

      probably not. as these are starter kits and not recharge vouchers.

  • t25 on 14/11/2015 - 00:17

    Any truth in obtaining rainchecks at Coles for these prepaid SIMs?

  • lostn on 14/11/2015 - 00:42

    One time Telstra did this (at $15) when combined with cashrewards, they demanded to see ID and employment pay slips.. Also they refused delivery unless you were the one home to receive it (another family member can't accept the delivery on your behalf). Do you think it will go that way again? The CR is irrelevant from Telstra's POV, but they were still being shitty about it.

    • gilbarc on 14/11/2015 - 01:12

      Do you think it will go that way again?

      Absolutely.

    Officeworks Vermont South, VIC have the old $30 green nano-SIM starter kits for $5. Just picked up one. There's none on shelf but they have a handful left behind the counter. Not sure if the same applies with other stores or the other regular sized SIM starter packs.

    • brisdaz on 21/11/2015 - 15:40

      Anyone confirm that it's valid at other stores?

    • samehada on 22/11/2015 - 09:17

      You'd better refund it asap. I went there to buy and just realised it is all expired and can't be activated. If the SIM number is not 13 digits, don't bother buying because it won't be activated. Now wasting my time to go back to get refund…

      Officeworks have clearance for $5 on near expired packs so make sure you check the expiry date.

        • flylin on 20/11/2015 - 21:58

          I believe I had made it 21st of Nov (cant remember), as originally, this deal was just for the Online Telstra shop. As other people commented that this was available at elsewhere. The mods must have adjusted the expiry date to the coles date.

        • lostn on 21/11/2015 - 10:16

          @flylin: I see.

          They shouldn't have done that.

          You posted this as an alternative to those places because it's easier to get stock. If there's only going to be one expiry date for multiple offers, it should be based on Telstra shop.

          No matter, hopefully the deal will come again.

          Getting anything from the supermarkets is ultra unreliable. They just never have stock, and when they do, one person buys them all.

  • daver on 20/11/2015 - 19:44

    Let's have stores re-filled and no expiry dates on the new packs.
