Deal cancelled as TPG did not roll out their own 4G network

Customers who would like to participate in the trial and take advantage of the fantastic value available on the new TPG plan should register their details at www.tpg.com.au/register-mobile.

TPG will be sending out invitations to persons who express interest, with priority being given to existing TPG, iiNet and Internode broadband customers.

Fresh off the press

  • TPG launching 4G mobile service in Q3 - Q4
  • Inner city coverage only, please check against the linked table
  • Free 6 months trial, then $9.99 per month
  • 1st GB each day uncapped, then shaped to 1Mbps
  • 4G Data only, no voice

Set start date to 1 July Sep 30 Nov 30 (split between Q3/Q4). I may fall foul of the guidelines as there is no definitive start date, however I believe ozbargainers should be informed of this launch before committing to any fixed term contracts now.

      Because it's totally useless for you.

  • virhlpool on 10/05/2018 - 23:35

    Of little value if it doesn't include standard calls, sms and international calls. Not how many people would prefer all day internet (which they often don't use) against calls and sms which is a necessity.

      Are you serious?

      • virhlpool on 11/05/2018 - 00:10

        I got serious when I saw no mention of standard calls' inclusion.

          Yes, because it's a data plan - of much value to lots of people.

  • daver on 10/05/2018 - 23:53

    Coverage kilometers away. But have registered. Cheap as chips.

  • Wystri Warrick on 11/05/2018 - 16:19

    This is awesome.
    I can now finally be able to web chat with Scab when I'm out and about.

  • Givemethemoney on 13/05/2018 - 14:17

    Would this work in Home Alarm systems using GPRS?

    • McFly on 15/05/2018 - 09:23

      I think you'd need to ask TPG that.

    • Ryk on 22/05/2018 - 22:13

      if by GPRS you mean the old 2G GSM data systems, no.
      if by GPRS you mean just any mobile signal and your panel has a supports a 4G modem, most likely it's, yes. (subject to the frequencies on that modem).
      in any case it's free, so throw it in the panel and see what you get.

  • tonyyang on 13/05/2018 - 15:41

    If a lot of ppl use it simultaneously, the bandwidth will become a problem.
    It ends up with very low internet speed for each user in the network, for my understanding.

  • bjdchwr on 14/05/2018 - 21:28

    Order 10 and then Load Balance them?

    LOL

  • thorpef1 on 15/05/2018 - 13:30

    Signed up.
    Great find

  • avgbowlofpho on 15/05/2018 - 22:02

    does this mean if you're in the area you can use unlimited or you have to live in the suburb?

    • zzyss on 17/05/2018 - 09:23

      Pretty sure if you're just in the area.

  • squeeb on 16/05/2018 - 21:07

    Great. Will give it a go. Wonder how many people will be offered the trial. There are over 11K hits.

  • edfoo on 19/05/2018 - 19:24

    Still 43 days before this deal becomes active. Gonna need some reminder system to notify myself when the date approaches.

    • quop on 26/05/2018 - 13:11

      If only OzBargain had its own deal reminder feature

        Won't be active until Q3/Q4 so more likely end of the year.

        • fratzhaus on 25/06/2018 - 21:58

          agh, ruined my day.
          thanks for updating the post.

    TPG launching 4G mobile service in Q3 - Q4

    Expect that will be cancelled after last week's announced merger of TPG & Vodafone, primarily so TPG gets Vodafone's existing mobile network! (Will need to be approved.)
    History of TPG acquisitions

    Doubt TPG will proceed with its plans to develop its own network when it just acquired a fully developed one.

    So this is likely a stillborn deal - if merger goes ahead😢

    • tanksinatra on 18/09/2018 - 10:03

      I was wondering the same too. I guess it depends on how much physical infrastructure TPG has already invested in, and whether or not they wish to test it out.

  • [Deactivated] on 14/12/2018 - 10:26

    Is this back on the table again?

  • avgbowlofpho on 17/11/2020 - 08:15

    About to revive a dead post to announce that TPG released Felix, not as good as "top 4G speeds for 1GB a day" but it's better than nothing
