Telechoice

On Tuesday 09/02/2016 some TeleChoice customers experienced issues using their voice and data services due to a network outage. While this has now been resolved, we wanted to show our customers that we are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Because of this, we are providing our mobile customers with free data within Australia on Sunday the 14th of February from midnight to midnight (in your local timezone)

Boost Mobile

From Facebook

On Tuesday voice and data services on the Telstra Mobile Network were disrupted for several hours.
Boost Mobile is a service provided on the Telstra Mobile Network and so customers using boost Mobile were impacted by these disruptions.
We apologise if you were inconvenienced by the outage.
In order to compensate customers for any inconvenience Telstra will be providing all customers who use their network free data usage within Australia this coming Sunday 14th February (Valentine's Day), this includes all Boost customers.
Free data is available from midnight to midnight (in your local Australian time zone) Sunday 14 February 2016.
You don’t need to do anything to receive the free data, we will make it available to you automatically across all Australian states and territories.
So please post, browse, share and stream on us this Sunday.
We hope it helps make up for any inconvenience you experienced.

Woolworths Mobile

Today I got SMS from Woolworths:

    What about Lycamobile?

      Yeah that is what I want to know. They use TELSTRA.

      • Savas on 11/02/2016 - 17:41

        Yeah, I have emailed and sent them a message on Facebook… Still no answer.

      • Savas on 11/02/2016 - 21:37

        They haven't confirmed it yet, but if it does happen it will be on their Facebook. Also what plan are you with with Lycamobile? I find it is starting to get expensive, but I rarely call or text anyway.

        • hogwarts on 12/02/2016 - 16:46

          No plan. Pre-Paid

    Rang aldi mobile…they were not aware of the Telstra offer.

      Save yourself the headache and buy a $2 telstra sim

  • [Deactivated] on 11/02/2016 - 16:16

    Good. That's what I asked on the Telstra post the other day

    • nocure on 11/02/2016 - 16:32

      Is free data not a bargain?

      • Savas on 11/02/2016 - 17:43

        Especially when it works out to 500GB to 5TB depending on where you are.

      • Lukian on 11/02/2016 - 16:45

        A day where people can tether and do all their Steam/other downloads without impacting their quota? Awesome deal.

        • ProjectZero on 11/02/2016 - 16:48

          Someone already aptly named it "p*** day" on twitter I believe.

        • BargainKen on 11/02/2016 - 20:34

          Is steam the code word for porn these days? Thought it was still "Linux isos " ?

    • themob on 11/02/2016 - 16:38

      FFS, totally tired of always reading 'how is this a deal', 'belongs in forums' etc. This is a ripper deal in my eyes. Thanks OP.

    • [Deactivated] on 11/02/2016 - 17:46

      It's a bargain for me. I rarely use my 12m telstra sim. But Sunday it's going live ;=>

    Lol what a day to port out.

    Great find OP. Thank you.

    "This free data will apply from Sunday 14/02/2016 12am AEDT to Monday 15/02/2015 3am AEDT"

    Does this mean all data from Feb last year till now should be free?

    That's my valentines day present sorted.

  • Topdog on 11/02/2016 - 17:49

    It's awesome news. I just hope the network is up for it. And does not limit people needing mobile data for business.

  • ChillBro on 11/02/2016 - 18:40

    Time to torrent some Linux isos and start a Netflix trial.

    • chipstss on 11/02/2016 - 20:35

      Download lots of Steam demos too >_>

  • kelasen on 11/02/2016 - 19:27

    Would the free data work on incoming only (haven't recharged) boost sim?

  • StrawberryCheesecake on 11/02/2016 - 19:35

    LOL…for a moment I thought all the telecommunication networks were "data-matching" Telstra to make them look bad. :D

  • diddy50 on 11/02/2016 - 19:49

    Aldi?

    • rexstar on 12/02/2016 - 18:12

      Yes, free data for ALDImobile too. This is from their site:

      "Whilst the outage was outside of our control we want to make things right for our customers that were impacted which is why we are giving free data (within Australia) to all of our customers this Sunday.
      The free data will apply to you regardless of which plan you are on - if you have Pay As You Go, or a Value Pack, you will not be charged for data this Sunday.
      The free data on Sunday will apply from 12am AEDT this Sunday morning until 3am AEDT Monday morning, this will allow for our customers in WA to also enjoy free data until midnight on Sunday local time in WA."

      Sunday will be a good test for the network.

    Merged from Woolworths Mobile Free Data This Sunday 14 Feb 2016

    today I got SMS from Woolworths:

    • edshays on 11/02/2016 - 20:29

      I'm guessing Woolies use the telstra network?

      • Steptoe on 11/02/2016 - 20:30

        Telstra 3G

  • Savas on 11/02/2016 - 21:35

    Damn, just got a reply from Lycamobile.

    Hi Savas,

    Thank you for your message. I’m really sorry about this incident. Unfortunately we don’t have any confirmation about this. We will share any new information on this page.

    Regards,

    Hector from Lycamobile

  • realfancyman on 11/02/2016 - 21:48

    Are the true Telstra MVNOS still speed capped? If so, I think it's worth getting a $2 SIM and $5 Recharge Voucher from Telstra ($5 voucher only available from Telstra shops, so maybe buy a CM2U online) so you can access full 4G/3G speeds.

  • ozy on 11/02/2016 - 22:03

    Thats a lot of porn

  • PeeDee on 11/02/2016 - 22:08

    what about ALDIMobile?!! :(

    • ozy on 11/02/2016 - 22:09

    I am with Telstra and recieved a pop-up message while accessing the Telstra app that says "Free mobile data this Sunday, we're providing our mobile customers free mobile data usage within Australia this Sunday. It'll happen automatically - you don't need to do anything"

    Screen shots of the message and some terms.

    Dammit, looks like all Telstra carriers get free data except Lycamobile!

  • Savas on 14/02/2016 - 07:50

    Went to see if Lycamobile is free today and just got charged 5c. Dammit!
