Greetings everyone, this deal has just gone $1 cheaper per month but with an extra 10GB per month of data! This is due to the changes in the Medium tablet plan now to 20GB per month.

The page that I have linked has old information, however if you click through to the plans page you can see that it is $28 per month for 5GB + 15GB of data!

I discussed on live chat and they mentioned that this should be available to anyone who is taking out a new Tablet plan :)

The order page says:

Special Offers:

Bonus Data - 15GB: Get an additional 15GB of data per month
$10 per month discount For eligible customers
Bonus Data - 5GB: Get an additional 5GB of data per month

Medium Tablet Plan + Apple iPad 32GB Space Grey + Special Offers $28per month $672 min. cost over 24 months

There has been comments in the previous deal mentioning that you can chat with Telstra and try to add a 128gb one instead for $5 more per month, YMMV!

If you go over your data allowance, there are no extra data charges in Australia.

Peace of Mind Data is a new type of backup data, so if you ever run out of your Included Data in a month, you won’t have to pay excess data charges in Australia. If you exceed your included data allowance, your data speed is capped at 1.5Mbps until the end of your bill cycle (which means it is not suitable for HD video or high-speed applications, and means that some web pages, videos, social media content, and files may take longer to load) and slowed further during busy periods. For personal use in a tablet only. Data for use in Australia. FairPlay policy applies.

As always, enjoy :)

Mod: It appears that this deal is no longer obtainable and the link which contained the deal has the page removed. Some mention the deal was supposed to be expired and/or it was supposed to be a companion plan and without POM. You may try your luck on live chat, for those wanting to signup you may like to try live chat to see what you are offered (see comments).

    What do people think about the iPad Pro 12.9 24 month plan at $85 - $90 pm?
    https://www.telstra.com.au/tablets/tablets-on-a-plan/apple-i…

    Works out to be extra $20 pm for 10GB?
    Taking into account iPad Pro 12.9 to be around $1500.

      I got the 11" 64gb for $60 a month on small plan with bonus 5gb (we share data). $9 cheaper than apple over 24mths and bonus data.

      • Gelato on 02/04/2019 - 15:05

        Hey how did you manage to get small plan for $60? The website says $70 for small and $75 for medium (it was $80 yesterday).

        Cheers

      Unless you really need telstra, the optus bundle for the same price (64gb ipad 12.9) for $85 with 200gb is a better buy. I use the sim in a 4g modem without any issues.

      • wninja on 02/04/2019 - 13:35

        what 4G modem you are currently using?

        • pw2002au on 02/04/2019 - 13:37

          Ive been tempted to buy the optus one outright based on a few of the forum posts here and on whirlpool but are just presently using an elcheapo alcatel that I had from one of the post paid sims.

  • lolcoaster on 02/04/2019 - 11:51

    I don't get these plans.

    A celluar 32GB iPad from Apple is $669. The price of this is $672. Is the SIM limited to iPads only or can you use it in a modem/external device?

    • [Deactivated] on 02/04/2019 - 11:53

      This. Would like to know so I can sell the iPad straight up.

      Yes its crazy.
      Customers sometimes come straight from Apple with these and sign up for our plans. They basically could of received it free via plans like this.

    • IceCreamBandit on 02/04/2019 - 11:57

      Sim to be used in tablets only according to the deal page.

      • tin tin on 02/04/2019 - 12:08

        Can it be used in any tablet? Sounds a bit vague.

        • gromit on 02/04/2019 - 12:13

          it seems to imply any tablet, I am guessing the intention is this is not for use for a phone or as a broadband connection. Seriously tempted, I don't like or want an apple tablet but would get this to put the sim in my tablet and then sell the ipad. Even if I only get $400 for the ipad I come out way ahead as my prepaid sim for my tablet just expired 2 days ago.

          • KanJuice on 02/04/2019 - 12:17

            @gromit: The wifi version sells for ~350. You should be able to get 400 for the cellular version.

          • ashling on 02/04/2019 - 13:15

            @gromit: Yeah, can the sim be put in any device?

            • wildweasel on 02/04/2019 - 15:56

              @ashling: The sim is a data only sim which can ideally be used in any device. However you will not be able to use it for making calls or sms.

    • poporange630 on 02/04/2019 - 11:58

      It's partially subsidized by Apple to boost device sales. Meaning that the actual cost for Optus / Telstra to buy in these devices are nowhere near $669.

      • lostn on 02/04/2019 - 13:30

        That's a surprise to me. Apple never subsidizes anything. They're as tight as TA.

    I would make sure you need an iPad Pro 12.9. That is a high price to pay for an iPad.
    Apple has lost the plot with iPads, they are introducing new models every 6 months, iPad Air and Mini just getting a relaunch.
    The above iPad is a great little tablet which also supports the pencil.

    • congo on 02/04/2019 - 11:56

      I got the iPad Pro 12.9 for $1000 from Officework a couple of years ago. Its a great tablet.
      My wife loves it and had taken ownership of it :-(
      So I need another one.
      But the recent iPad Pro 12.9 (& iPhone XS) is so darn expensive!
      Not sure if a plan is cheaper alternative than getting one from eBay during the 10-15% site wide sale?

      • [Deactivated] on 02/04/2019 - 12:01
        +1

        You can get IF from apple or even JB, or try and negotiate a discount with Telstra so you are only paying the iPad price over 2 years. I got $10 on a 11" which made it IF over 2 years and free data.

    • Terrence on 02/04/2019 - 12:24

      Hi. Does the iPad lock with Telstra? Can I use the Sim card on other iPad? Thanks.

      • Associatedilostnemo @ Telstra on 02/04/2019 - 12:27

    • kaleidoscope on 02/04/2019 - 12:58

      ipad pros are meant for a very niche audience. if u’re just using it for note taking and videos + games, its like using a super car to do grocery shopping.
      that being said i was dissapponted to see the new ipad mini price was set higher than this model… wth apple :-/

      • lostn on 02/04/2019 - 13:37

        Not really. It has quad speakers which gives you stereo in either orientation. The screen is nicer with true tone, lamination, and 120hz for smoother performance. Cameras are better, more storage options. I don't take photos with the iPad much, but I use the selfie cam for facetime/messenger and I can't stand it when the person I'm talking to has a shitty selfie cam.

        I'm not a "pro" user at all, but after going from my Pro 9.7 to iPad 2018, I never wanted another non-Pro iPAd. Though I can live with the new Air.

        I don't care about the pencil or keyboard support, though those are now being supported by non-Pro models.

        that being said i was dissapponted to see the new ipad mini price was set higher than this model… wth apple :-/

        New mini uses A12. This one uses A10 which is 2 gens older.

    This is a companion plan. You need to already have a postpaid service with telstra

  • DarthLord on 02/04/2019 - 12:13

    Can I use this sim in another device other than the iPad supplied by Telstra?

    • KanJuice on 02/04/2019 - 12:15

      Yes. If the other device isn't locked to another network.

  • anthonyw on 02/04/2019 - 12:19

    How is the plan structured? Is there a device payment component and a data plan component? (I am just curious what happens at the end of the 24 months, what the ongoing rate would be for just the data)

    • Associatedilostnemo @ Telstra on 02/04/2019 - 12:29
      +1

      It would be $29 . Telstra is offsetting the full device payment while connected to the plan.
      After 2 years you'll likely be able to repeat same deal with a newer iPad.

    • KentT on 02/04/2019 - 12:39
      +1

      I got an iPad through an older one of these deals in 2017 and it was split out.

      I don't know what the split will be, but it will likely be a way where you won't be able to save money by cancelling early.

      Maybe something like:

      $29 - device
      $29 - plan
      -$29 - discount device/plan bundle

      • anthonyw on 02/04/2019 - 12:45

        Thanks. I was more interested whether it would be a cheap ongoing plan (say a $19 plan with $10 per month discount) after the 24 months as I currently have data share sims. I thought this might be a cheap way to get away from them.

    • kaleidoscope on 02/04/2019 - 13:35
      +1

      yes structured, mine is 19 + 15. incase i terminate the plan, i should pay the balance of device which is (retail price - what you paid for it so far)

      say for example you terminated your plan in 6 months, you should pay telstra
      (retail price of the ipad 799 - 15 * 6). ( i got 128gb model)

      at 24 months you own the device and you can either continue with current plan or terminate without paying any balance.

  • Fitzy777 on 02/04/2019 - 12:29

    Solid deal. Comparable to the Optus one posted not long ago. Though Telstra has the superior network.

    Edit. This is even better more data and $1 cheaper wow

    • ilubbargains on 02/04/2019 - 15:44

      Decision would be based on which unmetered content one would prefer. I'm leaning towards Optus for its unmetered Optus Sports (EPL) and using the SIM in my 4G router.

    • misterchan on 02/04/2019 - 18:11

      Yeah, I was on live chat with Telstra and offered the 128GB New iPad on the M plan (20GB) for $34 p/m with POM. I have a post-paid phone with Telstra so this deal is simply the $44 p/m M plan for the 128GB (https://www.telstra.com.au/tablets/tablets-on-a-plan/ipad-9-…) with a $10 p/m discount for existing customer

      I couldn't decide between this or Optus $34 p/m for 13GB with data pooling (I have another post-paid phone on Optus), so she's calling me back tomorrow when I've decided.

    Michelle: That is because what you are seeing is the standard terms and conditions. The 15 gb is promotional offer
