          Somehow, I think the sarge was saying Telstra did a pretty shitty copy paste job, considering they copy pasted the thing verbatim from what they had last year.

        • Sergeant Salami on 05/02/2018 - 13:10

          @TheDukeOfNukem: Yes Telstra not alvian. As Maxchange said, yes they did a great job copying/pasting but neglected to edit the text.

    What is the cheapest way to obtain a telstra account?

    • Sergeant Salami on 04/02/2018 - 10:49
      +11

      Get a prepaid SIM and as long as you have $30 credit or more you are eligible.

      • tomsco on 15/02/2018 - 10:45

        Sorry, I know I could probably Google, but you seem pretty knowledgeable, but do you know if you can get long life $30 credit (like Aldi's)? Or does it expire every 30 days or something?

        EDIT: Found that you can activate a sim so that the credit is long life. Also get all the other Telstra perks. Gonna go down this track.

    Does anyone know if a a prepaid Telstra sim work for activation, then stream via wifi?

    • Sergeant Salami on 04/02/2018 - 10:48
      +3

      Yes as long as you have $30 credit or more. You can create a Telstra/AFL login and it will link the subscription and account together then use wifi to stream.

      • sav11 on 04/02/2018 - 15:24

        Are you sure? Last year I couldn't stream through wifi although logged in, it would only work via the Telstra 4G connection.

        • sween64 on 04/02/2018 - 16:30

          Worked for me on wifi last year.

        • tunzafun001 on 04/02/2018 - 18:02

          @sween64: I couldn't get it either. Had to start on mobile data, then switch to WiFi mid stream.

          it worked on my TV last year (Kodi plugins) on OptusNet & on my wifi tablet.

          STrange that it didn't work.

      For the NRL app at least it is Android/iOS only. And only on a tablet/phone, can't even stream to a Chromecast.

      • rhys87 on 04/02/2018 - 12:52

        Stream the screen first then open the app. That works for me with Chromecast

        • sillyhead on 04/02/2018 - 14:47

          You can get a plug in for kodi. And then watch on your Android box. Quality is just passable.

    • Sergeant Salami on 04/02/2018 - 11:11

      Only on iOS and Android. Can't stream it from PC.

    • mightyboy on 04/02/2018 - 11:13

      Last year there was a Kodi app which allowed you to add your Telstra credentials and stream the video on your PC or TV with a MiBox or similar AndroidTV device.

      I don't recall what it was called, perhaps just NRL Live or something, and I don't know where to find or install it, but it's out there… good luck!

      • ilikeit on 04/02/2018 - 12:07

        NRL changes digital content providers. This happened mid-season with the change of financial year, not the end of the season. Previously, NRL's digital partner was Livestream which could be played on Kodi after being downloaded from a repo.

        I get every NRL game in HD with the ability to chromecast. This is not through Channel Nein, Fox or a pirate stream. If you google it, you will find it…

        • mightyboy on 04/02/2018 - 12:36
          +1

          Thanks for the info!

          However this was running using the streaming servers to the app discussed in this thread, not using the livestream stream. You had to provide your telstra login credentials in the app for it to access the stream.

        • ilikeit on 04/02/2018 - 14:24

          @mightyboy: oh yeah I tried that. I think I got the info from GitHub. I didn't keep using it though since my existing setup was superior and still used the official stream.

          RugbyPass is the app. so long as it thinks you're OS in an area where they provide coverage, you can watch it via there.

        • ilikeit on 04/02/2018 - 18:51

      Remember the playback is limited to a 7 inch screen size. It won't play any bigger than that.

  • YOTR on 04/02/2018 - 11:01

    Is there a way for non-sport loving Telstra customers to share this with sport loving non-Telstra customers?

    • sagitox on 04/02/2018 - 11:06

      I would love for you to share it with me, please. I think you can activate it (I'd love the AFL app) and you can just share the code with me. Please?

      • sagitox on 05/02/2018 - 00:05

        Don’t worry, I bought a $2 sim and recharged $30 and now have AFL app. I also have a new mobile number and $30 credit to use. I was with Vodafone. Maybe it’s time for a change?

    • Bullion78 on 04/02/2018 - 11:08

      I got same question..ie: using parents login or will app recognize that the sim you're using is not telstra.

      • Sergeant Salami on 04/02/2018 - 11:14
        +1

        You can create an account on their phone using their Sim. Once it verifies you have a valid subscription it will link them together then you can login on another device using wifi or another carrier and watch it however only Telstra customers will get to watch it data free. I think from memory you need to link your Telstra account. If that's the case then I wouldn't share with a 3rd party because all your personal details will be tied to your Telstra account. Obviously parents would be okay to share with.

    • stevednj48 on 04/02/2018 - 11:12

      give them your login and password for the telstra account

    • happyadventurer on 04/02/2018 - 11:30

      Yep currently using another family member's telstra account. They just need to share their telstra login account details with you. Then login with their details in the AFL app.

    • teddyp on 04/02/2018 - 11:35

      You can hotspot/tether your phone to another, then activate live pass for Telstra on the non-telstra phone - it seems to trick the app

      • TrafalgarSean on 04/02/2018 - 23:58

        So say Person 1 is with Telstra, and 2 has Optus, if P2 hotspots on Telstra and they go to make a login does that prevent P1 making one?

      • TrafalgarSean on 24/02/2018 - 15:56

        Won't the app ask you to turn off your wifi since you hotspot via wifi with most phones to another?

    Note that they only stream on devices up to 7" in size (according to their terms, I haven't tested this)

  • tassieeagle on 04/02/2018 - 11:44

    Did this last year, it was good but being limited to a small screen sucked. No longer with Telstra, what would be the best/cheapest way to watch AFL this year on a tv? I'm guessing my only option is Foxtel?

    • Jebus on 04/02/2018 - 12:05

      Using the watchafl website for overseas viewers, and a service like unblockUS or getflix to make it appear as though you're overseas.

      Do you have an iPad/iPad mini/tablet? They are bigger than a phone, that’s what I use. It’s ok. Def not a TV by any means, but better than a phone size!

      Not sure if this works with only samsung phone but it should work for all android phones. I use samsung sidesync app on my phone and windows desktop to screen mirror it to my PC. Then you can hdmi your pc to your tv. The only thing is that cause the resolution is for the phone, enlarging it on a big tv results in watchable quality by nothing amazing. Watching it on my PC monitor is good enough.

    For the xiaomi phone users. Might work for others. If you stream the game. Then swipe down your notification menu. Enter the cast option. Allows you to cast immediately to chromecast. Make sure you have the stream playing first =)

    Don't forget, if you had NRL Live Pass last year, you may have gotten a free 2018 NRL Live Pass full season voucher that you can redeem on the NRL Official App. Check your email I got one last year after they made changes to their streaming.

    Also, just wait around for this if you aren't with Telstra, but want the app free for a year:

      Maybe. When I logged in to my Telstra Account to activate my AFL Live Pass it asked which number I wanted it to be associated with it. Probably better off activating a discounted Starter Kit on Long Life.
