Looks like Telstra has followed suit Optus on the international calling deal, even if only for less than a month.

EDIT: From Website-Recharge before 22nd August 2016 on the $40 and $50 to get unlimited international standard calls. Technically, should end 28 days from 22 Aug 2016.

Combine it with this deal to make this deal sweeter by $15.

Offer includes unlimited calling to Canada,China,Hong Kong,India,Malaysia,New Zealand,Singapore,South Korea,United Kingdom & United States.
Includes 3 GB of Day and 3 GB of Night Data.

If you ask, how is it better deal than Optus, then its on 'Telstra Network'

Enjoy

    So, for 90% of the population, 3Gb of data each month.

    • littlecreatures87 on 26/07/2016 - 19:15

      Doubt it's 90%, I use most of my data out and about as do my colleagues/drinks mates on the weekend!

      Social Enterprise (& Optus reseller) JeeNee ( .net.au ?)
      just had an Offer of 8 GB for $35 (unlim. AU-calls/text)
      and some Int'l calls.

      Don't need the Int'l Calls, as we have an annual Skype
      "World Subscription" - now w/ unlim calls to ~63 lands.

      Dunno how much it costs to open a New one today (and it's
      d*mn hard to find any pricing for it); I see renewals of
      $149 / year.

      Any1 know the current 12-month price for a new World
      subscription, thanks?

      • IVI on 26/07/2016 - 23:05

        JeeNee's $35 for 8 GB data beats

        • Telstra's 6 GB ( = 3 if by Day, 3 if by Night ;-) combo, IMO.

        These day-splitter deals make it too easy to use more data, & pay penalty rates later for your "crime" :-/

        Telstra has always been the one to find a way to PENALISE you for using some feature of their service offering.

        Of course, elsewhere in the World… UNLIMITED DATA is an affordable option… :-)

        • thiosuxtube on 27/07/2016 - 08:42

          Prepaid (as this deal is) makes it much safer, as you are always in control of how much you top up, and don't get a nasty unexpected bill.

        Skype World Subscription is:
        AUD
        $18/month is paying monthly
        $51.30 billed every 3 months (5% saving)
        $183.60 if paying annually (15% saving)

    How do you choose freedom 40 with a $30 starter pack ? And the international calling is valid till 22nd August only?

    • aoujay51 on 26/07/2016 - 18:07

      Mate, put extra $10 credit into the new $30 pack and choose $40 freedom Plus plan. Unfortunately international calling wouldn't last a month :(

        Mate, put extra $10 credit into the new $30 pack and choose $40 freedom Plus plan

        I don't think that works. You choose the plan when you activate, and if you choose F+ you will get the conditions associated with $30 F+. Adding $10 credit on top of that won't give you the benefits of the $40 plan.

          I can confirm I have done this twice. Load the $30 starter pack, get your account screen ready. Call the help centre and tell them what you want to do (play dumb), you can load the extra $10 while on the phone to them (2 clicks, 20 seconds) and they can get you onto the $40 plan.

          YMMV, but like I say, done it twice.

          In general though, why the just don't let you top up and select yourself is beyond me, having to select at activation seems unnecessary.

      • dazweeja on 26/07/2016 - 22:16

        That won't work. The recharge itself needs to be $40. Description should be updated.

        • IVI on 26/07/2016 - 22:40

          I thought you could pick the plan you want each time you give 'em more money, eg, through a voucher or recharge…?

        • dazweeja on 26/07/2016 - 23:22

          @IVI:

          There's no way to choose the $40 plan through the website with a $30 starter pack. Apparently you can do it if you get the right person on the phone (judging by the comment above).

    Op Telstra is better because you can use the credit for Google Play. I top up $30 and use the money to buy Netflix, and when my trial of YouTube Red expires I will get the family one to enjoy also google music.

      How did you get Netflix billing working through Google Play? I tried to change off paypal onto play credit but the app kept redirecting me to the netflix website where there was no option

        I had to give it several goes before it worked. Once you are subscribed though it's automatic. I just kept trying and also thought of changing the email. I persisted and it worked in the end,using the 4g

          @Joe888:
          Hi first of all your subscription needs to be expired. If you still have it active it won't work. I waited the day it expired. Then I tried with 4g on until telstra billing appeared. If you still have days in the account i dont think it will work. The only other alternative is to change email.

      I've got a question about how this works. Say I'm on the $30 prepaid option and I spend $15 on the Play store, does my call credit and data allowance get halved or are they unaffected?

      • lysp on 26/07/2016 - 19:21

        Unaffected. The $30 credit is yours to spend as you choose.

          @peco:

          That's why pre-paid telstra is a really good deal. You basically get to spend your money twice (or get the call plan for free) depending on which way you look at it.

          Whirlpool has a good wiki as to how to spend it:

    not really had any issues with telstra. not been on optus for 2 years now but the speed difference was stark.

    i find the night time data quite handy being a shift worker.

    quite often telstra does a promo then makes it permanent so hopefully they'll keep the unlimited calls.

    i like using my recharge credit to buy roaming data packs when i'm on holidays. saves me buying a sim card to each country i travel too. like getting double value for my money.

    which one you think is a better deal, this one or boost prepaid $40 which gives free calls to same 10 countries, but doesn't have $350 bonus credit.

    what can the bonus credit be used for other than international calls ?

      You can also get viber,line or vyke credit to call abroad.

    for a manual (including first) recharge, the plan is for 28 days. But if you then auto-recharge, the $40 or whatever lasts until the same date the following month - this means if you auto-recharge, there are only 12 billing months in a year, not 13 if you work out how many 28 day periods there are in a year (365 / 28 = approx 13)

        Manual recharge with a credit card and save it. Log in to Telstra My Account online. Choose a date and value to recharge every month. Usually goes through in the early hours of the morning so you have time to check if it was successful.
