    Are people who previously got the 12 months free eligible?

    • Chuppa on 05/07/2016 - 17:19

      I didn't see anything in the T&Cs excluding previous promos. Just need to ensure that Apple Music is not currently active on your Apple ID.

      I'm currently on the 12 mth freebie until October. Went on to live chat and they cancelled the current membership and applied the 6 months through to January 2017. Very helpful and super quick to sort out. Only took about a half hour for it to activate. Go Telstra!
      Saved me $23.90 which I would've spent anyway!
      Thanks heaps Chuppa

        Talked to live chat and they said I'm ineligible for the offer :( since they can't override the current offer. I also asked them if they can cancel the current membership and apply the new offer, they said no :( Lucky you mate :)

        And my previous telstra offer expires next month, hopefully I can still take up this offer then.

        • unity1 on 07/07/2016 - 14:37

          Same reply. But nothing in the T&Cs to say this, but the CSR said that it's in their internal resources. I told them pointless you having access to that information and not making it available to the customer in the T&Cs.

      Of? As the post on Telstra Exchange states, this offer starts today…

    Damn
    Give us broadband customers something

  • notbad on 05/07/2016 - 20:33

    I have a work phone with Telstra. Can you guys think of I way I can get it??

    • Goldberg on 05/07/2016 - 20:37

      They wanted my full name and dob before they'd sort mine, probably due to the account being in my partners name. I'm a secondary on the account so I guess they could verify it was me.

    • Chuppa on 05/07/2016 - 20:56

      Doubt it - you're adding a financial product. Even if it's free for six months.

    Is this only on IOS devices?

      Yes.

    • nickeveli on 06/07/2016 - 13:52

      Works fine on Android!

      • [Deactivated] on 06/07/2016 - 15:02

        The previous 12m offer was only for iPhones on plans

        Are you saying
        A) there is an Apple Music app on android or
        B) you have tried it and they let you take up the offer on an android phone?

        • AssociatedExpressCoffee @ Telstra on 06/07/2016 - 16:23

          a) Yes.

          b) I have not but my friend has it on Android. You have to put it your payment details pre-emptively though for when it rolls over.

          Awesome!

  • bloobat on 06/07/2016 - 11:28

    If you are in the market for a music service just be warned that Apple music is no where near the quality of other services such as Spotify. Ok if it's free but certainly not worth paying for!

    • kfuerza on 06/07/2016 - 12:03

      What aspect of 'quality' do you mean?

      • [Deactivated] on 06/07/2016 - 13:52

        I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but following a iOS update it wiped my whole library. And when I flew overseas it wouldn't let me access my saved library in flight mode despite having downloaded the songs to my phone

        Because of this I still have paid Spotify as a backup even though I do prefer the usability of Apple Music

        • kfuerza on 06/07/2016 - 14:15

          TL;DR version:
          Your phone knows you are from OZ and it shuts you out from playing your music when it detects and overseas ip/network address.
          There COULD be a way around it but I'm not sure. Here's my story from the MOG days:

          The overseas thing may be due to you connecting to wifi while having the app open.
          The same used to happen to me when I was a MOG user (MOG was bought by Beats. Beats bought by Apple) and I travelled to the USA to visit the family.
          MOG would log me out due to being on a USA ip address and wouldn't let me log back in until I 'tricked it' by doing the following:

          1. Turned on flight mode
          2. Soft reset handset
          3. Opened MOG & logged in
          4. Waited for it to say 'you are not connected to a network' but allowed me to log in.

          I could play my d/l music then. BUT….
          If I connected to wifi in the US and went to open the app….it would log me out and I'd have to do it all over again.

          My workaround at the time was to close MOG when I was done and ensure I was in flight mode when launching the app.
          Suspect Apple Music will do the same.

          Hope that helped someone

          @kfuerza:

          What you say kinda makes sense

          But I put my phone in flight mode before I left Australia. And it still didn't work on the plane. Wouldn't have thought it would have known I was overseas in flight mode?

        • kfuerza on 06/07/2016 - 14:47

          @sagiballs:

          Hmmm…interesting. Was there wifi on the plane?

          While looking at my Spotify app just now it reminded me of something I forgot.
          The first step was to go into 'offline' mode IN the app.

          Suspect in the future the steps would be:

          1. Put your music streaming app into 'Offline Mode'
          2. Make sure you never turn it back on while on your trip and you should be good to go.
          3. You MIGHT have to be in flight mode too depending on the music service but I doubt it.
        • [Deactivated] on 06/07/2016 - 15:00

          @kfuerza:

          I don't think Apple Music has an offline mode. Certainly you do save for "offline playback" by I haven't seen a switch or a toggle like in Spotify

          shrug

        • AssociatedExpressCoffee @ Telstra on 06/07/2016 - 16:25

          @kfuerza:

          Just came back from a trip to Thailand and my girlfriend was able to listen to her Apple Music saved songs on the plane and while we were in hotel rooms over there so it may be the opposite.

          edit: Phone was in airplane mode the whole trip but wifi was constantly used each day.

  • shuckeru on 29/07/2016 - 01:49
    1. apple music is available on android
    2. you can redeem whatever promo they run on android
    3. apple music has a offline mode to save whatever music you want
    4. apple music is not region locked at all offline/online.

    source? I did all this on a nexus 6p when I got Telstra last November, then proceeding to use in 3 countries. Australia, Singapore, Thailand. streaming over WiFi/4G, and saving music from within those countries then going up on a flight for offline listening.

    i don't know where you guys assume stuff from but hope this clears things up.
