    worth seeing if JB HiFi have same offer with a $200 store credit

  • gigs on 09/10/2018 - 20:24

    How does this line up against the JB HIFI deal? That is a better deal right?

    • webtherapist on 09/10/2018 - 20:33

      for international calls and peace of mind data included, extra data too (by 10GB). if you make international calls then definitely better with this :)

      • FXD on 10/10/2018 - 15:30

        It's less data than the $65 plan (80gb on that one) and it's more money than the $45 plan (50gb). Int'l calls and POM are good additions though.

  • brent3000 on 09/10/2018 - 20:39

    wow the $89 plan now includes SMS,Call and data for roaming 0_0 Shame it dosnt have the $10 off as well that's huge value (for the traveler who does a lot of call and SMS's when OS)

    • Jonnytheblack on 09/10/2018 - 21:28

      only 2GB data when roaming overseas,thatsbitofdraw back. if it is the same like vodafone with all inlcuded data in plan, then i will be all over this.

      • brent3000 on 09/10/2018 - 21:55

        The 199 plan comes with 10GB >_< hahaha and unlimited full speed AU data :)

      Telstra/voda/optus are legit trying to grab market share from NBN

      • abuch47 on 10/10/2018 - 08:53

        Definitely a great idea for most people. If you work from home or game I'd say separate Internet. If you just browse not worth paying again. Multiples of streaming dont do that well with the extra bandwidth anyway.

    • CacheHunter on 10/10/2018 - 09:33

      I'm in a HFC area waiting goodness knows how long for NBN using who knows what technology. How complicated would it be to connect a plan like this up to an existing adsl modem/router?

      • elusive on 10/10/2018 - 10:28
        +1

        Depends whether your existing router has a USB port and takes a LTE modem on it. A few of the newer ones do, but not the ISP-supplied ones.

      • Charity on 27/10/2018 - 17:58

        iinet modems have had this feature for many years (at least 5)

        Most half decent modems/routers also have it. Not a particularly unique feature.

        It is quite easy to set up. Just a plug it in and a few setup changes on the router menus.

        They’ve also changed their business plan. From what I know they kept the data sharing there. Maybe that’s an option? I’m gonna try that route tomorrow.

        • dracothraxus on 10/10/2018 - 20:08

          How'd you go? Just read the T&Cs about the new business plans and it's not clear to me: "Data Share
          SIMs can’t be used in a mobile handset." - but it also talks about shareable data.

          • joinkyn on 16/11/2018 - 16:28

            @dracothraxus: i honestly dont get the $5/mo data share…. is it just them trying to catch out people who dont know how to hotspot? or do they actively block hotspotting on these plans? (i know this happens in the US and UK)

    • dracothraxus on 09/10/2018 - 22:23

      Just on chat now with Telstra and had missed the fact they've removed data sharing across their entire range of new plans… what a major change for the negative.

      • raytriplej on 10/10/2018 - 00:53

        Yes the sharing is great for our family. I wish the new plans removed piece of mind data and reinstated data pooling.

      • downforce on 10/10/2018 - 12:02

        Damn, that really sucks! I have a SIM only in my tablet and it was pooled to my main account. I removed it from the tablet and stuck it in Telstra 4G dongle, now ALL my tablets (well kids) can use the data and I've even been USB tethering my PC to game when the kids are smashing the link.

        60GB pooled would have been amazing :D

    The $45 50GB $200 gift voucher is a better deal. Add $10 a month for unlimited overseas ( certain countries). So $55 per month - $16.60 ( taking into account the $200 voucher), is $38.40 per month

    • pitiek on 09/10/2018 - 22:20

    • NoobTan on 09/10/2018 - 22:21

      Confirmed that JB HiFi deal will not get $10 International Call Pack. I have called Telstra 3 times and 2 different chat personnel. Just signed up to the JB HiFi deal on Friday.

      Another OzBargainer reported JB HiFi couldn't sign them up on the spot either.

        Yes :) I was on a telstra $39/15Gb BYO sim-only plan, 10 months into my 12 month contract - walked into JB today and upgraded to their $45/50Gb plan and had the 12-month contract reset. I didn't get the $200 credit voucher though (existing Telstra customers don't get that one - you need to port in from another provider)

        (can't comment on the overseas call pack stuff because I don't use that)

        • timmev on 10/10/2018 - 07:43

      It has peace of mind data option included by default. That means no excess data charges but speed will reduce to 1.5 Mbps till next billing cycle.

          And the remaining contract termination cost. That why I don't like being contracted to Telstra on a 24 months phone plan.

          • [Deactivated] on 10/10/2018 - 00:17

            @ChickenAdobo: I also got this deal with 15GB a year ago. A few months in when their plans improved to 25GB, I contacted them and got mine upped to 25GB but it was on my 2nd attempt (call failed but livechat worked). Tried it today on livechat but they wouldn't budge this time :(

            Voda was really easy to jump around SIM only plans but Telstra are more strict unfortunately.

  • Limeslemons on 09/10/2018 - 22:58

    Fabulous, finally a decent deal that includes exisiting accounts…… Great timing for me, one of our mobile contracts ends tomorrow and we were looking at BYO plans, we were going to go for the $69 30GB plan, now we will get double for $10 less! Bonus! Just double-checked on Telstra Chat that it does indeed apply to existing users and they confirmed it.

        Worst experience was at Mt Tamborine (50km from Brisbane / Gold Coast, hardly remote) where even 3g coverage was dropping in/out. Disappointing given part of the reason I switched was to be able to "stream AFL anywhere on Australia's best network"

    I want to use Telstra in Australia and Vodafone for international roaming, does anyone know any solutions for this?

    I am using Vodafone and the only reason I am still with them because of the $5 roaming. On the other hands, Telstra has the best network in the country but the int roaming is expensive..

            @elusive: Thanks, I’ll think about that. My only issue here is that the Voda network is not so good, and I sometimes got dropouts, I want to change to Telstra but I travel a lot for business, so…I’ll talk to Telstra if they can customise the plan that suits my travel needs.

    • xecutor on 11/10/2018 - 15:08

      Look at getting a Dual Sim phone which are generally not available to purchase in Australia.
      Rarely do you find them and if you do they are really old model phones.

      Places like Kogan sell Dual sim mobiles.
      Note that there are different radio bands (for 3G/4G) and that these overseas models generally will not have all the relevant Australian (3G/4G) bands so your internet speeds could suffer even if you are in a 3G/4G area.

      The benefit of a dual sim mobile is you can maintain two different services simultaneously without having to swap out sim card.

      Alternatively, you could always get a cheap 2nd mobile phone from Coles/Woolsworth and use that for international roaming.

      • T-man on 11/10/2018 - 18:40

        As googoogaga has pointed out, paying for 2 sims seems like a waste money, I don’t want to use 2 separate sims and one Vodafone sim is perfect for me, just having some issue with their reception in Australia, not as good as Telstra.

He then asked me to wait and after 5 minutes he came back and said he would give me the extra $10 off. I'm wrapt, saved me a 2 hour return trip to the nearest JBHiFI!

  • aaronspence on 10/10/2018 - 12:57

    FYI - I signed up for the previous version of this plan. BYO $69 40GB, about 6 weeks ago on August 31st.

    Just jumped on Telstra chat and they were happy to move me to this new plan (same plan, new deal). My 12mth contract is renewed, while I save $10 month and get 60Gb instead of 40Gb data. Bargain.

  • CrushJelly on 10/10/2018 - 14:03

    I don't need the data, so I went on chat to ask about the "S" $49 plan. I asked for the $10 discount and this was granted.
    So now I'm on the "S" 30GB plan for $39/month for 12 months.

    Again, I tried to be polite today, so perhaps that made the difference.

      I'm thinking I possibly should've done this too and saved another $10, I can't imagine a situation where I'd be using the 60GB I now have :/
      Being polite definitely helps. And I also always give great reviews at the end in case that ever counts for anything, lol!

    • dracothraxus on 10/10/2018 - 20:03

      I tried and failed to get the 60GB plan a few times, then I saw your comment.

      Got me thinking that I've never been at risk of running over my 25GB even though I'm hardly ever on Wifi.

      Switched to the S plan so now I'm paying less and getting a bit more data!

      I ran into the same problem, but was offered the $49 plan for $39.

    • xecutor on 11/10/2018 - 14:32

      I did 1x voice call and 2x text chats and no additional discounts (including a $10 loyalty credit) would be applied. However, they were willing to do a -$10 loyalty credit on the "S" plan which is $49 bring this to $39.

      After an hour on text chat, I was able to get a minor bonus since I was asking for a competitive offer and the best they could do was give me an extra +5GB per month bring this to 65GB.

      I was paying $50 a month previously for (12GB, unlimited text/call local & 10 international countries).
      This deal was too good to pass off and for an additional +$9.00 ($59) I now get 5x the data amount and an additional +5 countries to make international calls too.

    • Master Bates on 14/10/2018 - 02:27

    • [Deactivated] on 10/10/2018 - 22:30

I told them my friend just signed up $69 plan for $49 (don’t say $59 as each department has different discounts and limited knowledge about others, all their ref is CIS). The guy chatted with me agreeing on spot and applied $10 manual credit onto my account and gave me ref number as well.
