Telstra prepaid mobile - has a lot of credits accumulated - what to do?

vegemite2008 on 03/04/2016 - 23:22

Hi, I have over $500 in Telstra mobile phone prepaid credits. Not the talk credits, the recharge credits.

To avoid confusion, if I recharge $40, I don't check the voicemail, the $40 rolls over.

Can I use these credits for anything? Can I sell them?

    Theres an app on the android store that you can use those credits on and get cash money sent to your paypal account it's called rebatr atm they give 55% so you spend say $20 and get $11 sent to your paypal.

    ive done it a few times now.

      Why don't you create your own app as Google only charge 30% to app developers? I'd rather $14 over $11 into my PayPal.

        $99 annual developer fee, hosting costs, development time.

          It's $25 USD for Google. You could easily do this on any number of free hosting services. Development time is of course required so you'd only do this if you had the time/motivation. Interesting option though.

    You certainly can sell.. there is a CreditMe2U features which you can transfer your prepaid credit to other prepaid customer. However the limit is $10 per day. https://www.telstra.com.au/support/category/mobiles-tablets/…

    Hope this help.

    I've heard that you can donate the money to a charity via premium SMS and cliam it back on tax. If your earning over 80k a year you'd get back 39c for every $1. I know it's less than the app but at least charity is getting the full amount rather than Google/Telstra taking 30% and dev getting 15%.

      you…are an absolute legend! hah didnt think of that! I'd much rather my money go to charity but Ill have to do some more calculations on this first. Plus you'd have to wait to get the lump sum of money at the end of each year as opposed to every month.

      So what's the math on this? Rebatr only gets 70% of our donation, google takes 30%. Then he is giving us back 55% of his 70%? That's right yeah?
