      This likely means you need to go into a store and verify yourself with some bills. They do this every so often and it's really annoying. Usually due to address mismatches or something regarding your details.

    Great deal OP! Went to Telstra Melbourne Exhibition store yesterday and signed up for the plan (porting in from Kogan Mobile). Luckily they had the last bundle left in store.. so I left the store with Telstra BYO $59 15GB Plan + Pixel 2 XL Black & White 64GB + Pipe earpiece + Google Home Mini (Chalk). Later on I went on the live chat and asked for the eligibility for bonus data, and the guy added another 5GB on top of my plan! So I do recommend y’all to ask for that as well.

    Summary of a great deal I scored this morning. I had a earlier interaction record from Telstra for $10 discount and 5GB bonus data upon adding a 2nd service via port-in (Note: This was a pre-existing offer and independent of this deal). Coming back to deal, what I did was:
    - First I got this plan from JB-HiFi (Pixel 2 XL + Home Mini + Earphones) and requested paid add-on of international pack i.e. $69/month in total.
    - Then I got in touch with Telstra by providing my previous interaction ID and they happily added $10 discount plus 5GB data.

    So, basically I ended up getting $79 plan benefits for $59. Really happy!! Thanks OP, great find :)

    And, if someone else has similar chat record/interaction ID which you have forgotten about, this is perfect time to attempt a double-dip!!

    • PLANT on 02/03/2018 - 05:31

      What's international calling…. Us to them or roaming?

      • ccrap on 02/03/2018 - 09:18

        Us to them. Normally a $10 bolt on. Gives unlitted calling to usual 10 high traffic countries

    • HappyPooPants on 02/03/2018 - 05:33

      I ported my number and wifes. How did you claim to be he $10 discount? Is this listed anywhere? I actually need to add the international pack so this would be awesome.

      • HappyPooPants on 02/03/2018 - 11:21

        I contacted them via live chat and got the $10 / 5gb applied also . winning :)

        • kulprit on 02/03/2018 - 12:11

          So you signed up either in store telstra/jb at $59 x 2 per month. Then jumped online about an offer for $10 off a second service?

        • HappyPooPants on 02/03/2018 - 15:52

          @kulprit:
          Correct. Though I think I actually got $10 off and extra 5gb for both phones(I don't know how to check as I haven't revieved a bill yet) .I then added an international data pack.

        • Shopping Fig on 02/03/2018 - 20:00

          Do yo remember the rep name? What did you say to convince them? I just ported two numbers but they didn't concede on the $10 discount. Cheers.

          @kulprit: Indeed. I'll still try my luck with the online chat a couple of times just in case.

        • HappyPooPants on 03/03/2018 - 11:15

          @kulprit:
          Yeah I was lucky I think. I had called 3 times before that just to get the mini home. They all said no.

          Th annoying thing is. I think once they say no, they put a note on your account so other people will see.
          I guess need to be lucky on first try.

          I usually luck out.

  • Bonyfisher on 02/03/2018 - 05:21

    As an existing customer (although out of contract) could you just buy a cheap pre paid sim from Optus/Vodafone and port that number to telstra? Obviously you would get a new number which may not be ideal… but if they are cracking down on the porting in and out what other options are there?

  • BigLeviathan on 02/03/2018 - 07:16

    Tell me one thing, the total cost is $2655 ($59*24 months), and I noticed people selling it for $850-950 mark

    why would people sell it and not just use it? What's the use of getting expensive contract and sell it for half the cost

    I guess this is for anyone who just use the $59 contract for an existing phone that gives 15GB/ month data? But then you are locked in for 2 years though?

    With plans, I'm afraid with surprises charges, such as:
    * over usage data
    * 1300 xx number

    Does Telstra provide notification / allow us to block certain services that we don't want?

    • salmon123 on 02/03/2018 - 07:32

      59*24=1416

      They're selling it for $850-$950, because they're still claiming a tax deduction for the full amount.

      No idea where you get $2655 from. $59 * 24 months = $1416.
      Selling this phone for $900 or so gives you the above plan for only $20 a month.

      Yes you are locked in for two years but tell me where you can get something this cheap with good service.

      With plans, I'm afraid with surprise charges, such as:
      * over usage data

      You can set up a data limit on Android, through the settings - search "data usage"
      As for 1300 numbers, simply don't call them and you won't be charged.

    Just got off the live chat and realised they don't actually include 13, 18, 1300, 1800 etc numbers despite saying in their Critical Information Summary:

    Unlimited. Your Monthly Calls can be used in Australia for calls to standard Australian numbers, as well as most 11xx, 12xx, 13xx and 1800 numbers.

    Turns out the only ones you can call are Telstra hotlines. I get charged to check my bank balance.

    What's not included?

    premium numbers (eg 19xx numbers) and some satellite numbers, 1234, 12 455 and 12 456 numbers

    This is actually so misleading. I'm so glad I didn't just blindly accept the T&C's and sign up on this deal because I would've been stuck with a plan I didn't want and a device that might potentially be too big.

    • PLANT on 02/03/2018 - 09:35

      So are 1300 included or not?

      • pennypincher98 on 02/03/2018 - 09:44

        No, none of them are except for Telstra support numbers.

        • PLANT on 02/03/2018 - 09:48

          So Boost fine…Telstra no? What rate is a 1300 number time or set amount on Telstra Plan mobile?
          Is it not law that 1800 are Free for all mobile and landline in AU?

        • pennypincher98 on 02/03/2018 - 10:22

          @PLANT: Boost and Telstra MVNOs are fine, but no free 13, 1300, 18 or 1800 numbers on Telstra. They charge these as a "premium number".

          It's not the law to have them for free, but it is the law to provide accurate information that is in no way misleading. Having said that, Telstra is the first telco I've seen not to include them.

          EDIT: Still needing to confirm with another online agent or in store, becuase googling and Telstra forums say that you can ring 13/1300 numbers and not be charged. Ask before contracting though.

          Giancarlo at 18:37, Mar 2:
          Don't worry, it's for Telstra and non-Telstra numbers as well.

    • [Deactivated] on 02/03/2018 - 22:38

      if the CIS states Unlimited….as well as most 11xx, 12xx, 13xx and 1800 numbers. then that's not just Telstra numbers. My current Telstra plan has simialar CIS wording & I call Govt/Bank/Telco/etc 13xxx numbers & I've never been charged. If they did I'd be complaining & then off to the ombudsman, & the ACCC as that's deceptive and misleading contract.

      • pennypincher98 on 03/03/2018 - 07:37

        Yeah I just got clarification from Giancarlo last night saying its for Telstra and non-Telstra numbers but I wanted to ensure it was because Telstra could probably wriggle their way out of any tight spot.
        They can't if their consultant has said in black and white that you can.

        I'll definitely be complaining if I am charged for these calls.

They should get more stock in a week. Checked both Pixel 2 and 2Xl, edges are bit squarish unlike iphone or samsung etc and orange tint is very prominent on Pixel 2 and mild blue tint on 2xl. They both manufactured in Nov 2017.

      Yeah, they're honestly pretty ugly phones for 'flagships'. I'd rather a HTC U11+ myself.

      I found the tint an issue too but changing the colour settings to saturated solves it.

      @skon23 - can you please PM me the rep name if possible? I'm planning on heading there this arvo and want to try exactly this :)

        Sorry mate , I didn't get his name but they don't have any stock now. I called up Telstra sales 1800 676 642 yesterday evening and spoke to Don, even he was ok to upgrade my plan. I wanted to check the phone before buying.

    sigh…having no luck with Telstra online, keep saying the offer is instore only and trying to offer the near double price online, any time frame when you aren't dealing with overseas reps? they are trying their best but others are getting this very deal online but I'm getting declined

  • Boss351 on 02/03/2018 - 13:13

    geez not only being declined online for the deal, now the overseas rep is saying 'that' $59 deal you are leasing and don't own the handset
