For $40/month, you get $1000 of calls, unlimited text/MMS and 7 GB of data. It's for new customers, on the full Telstra network, and you commit to stay on for 12 months. It's post-paid.
It's similar to the Telstra BYO 'M' plan, only you pay $10 less and get 2 GB more data per month.
You should also get access to:
- Free Apple Music for 12 months: link to OzB deal
- Free AFL/NRL pass: link to OzB deal (H/T to Mal68)
| New advice for getting to this deal | |
|---|---|
| If you still want the deal, you can try the deep link to the Telstra Online Shop. The first page indicates a $50 deal, but Brissie Mick reports that the $10 discount is applied a few steps later. donCobo and glowstix047 have confirmed they've been able to get the advertised deal this way. | |
| UPDATE 14/3: Most people seem to be reporting an 'ineligibility' message by using the deep link. | |
| Workarounds (pretty fiddly, but effective): The deep link appears to load ok using a Firefox browser on PC, or Safari browser on some iPhones. Alternatively, Richie312 reports getting the deal via the deep link but stopping his browser before the error message loads. YMMV. | |
| A screenshot of the "Buy online now" page that leads to the deep link is here. |
Note 1: You might need to disable any active ad blockers you've installed, as they might prevent you from seeing the ad link! H/T to His_Holiness
Note 2: Make sure you view a desktop version of eBay - the mobile or app versions aren't likely to show you the ad link. H/T to alfamale87

This is better than this offer (it has 7 GB, rather than 5 GB), and better than this offer (which charges you extra if you call for customer service).

Further to this I've received my first bill and it's 7.5gb, no explanation why, but no complaints in any case.
