First time posting so be gentle.
Just noticed that Telsta is trying to stay competitive with Boost etc.
Original price $300 - slashed to $200 for a 12 month Plan, with 150Gb of data. 20 Countries with unlimited international calls.
Seems to be a very good deal considering that Boost is actually more expensive (but… less data).

WHATS INCLUDED
Unlimited calls and texts to standard Australian numbers.
$100 Extra Credit for international calls and texts, roaming and premium SMS.
All inclusions for use in Australia

btw - You need to scroll down to see the offer.

Anyway, Enjoy.

      On Telstra here. Central to Redfern very slow data during peak hour, and then from newtown to lewisham is often patchy as well.

      • fozzie on 24/07/2019 - 14:07

        I wonder why is that? I used to go through the same stations (but from shire up to Town Hall) and Kogan (which uses vodafone) works exceptionally well. That must be very annoying especially if you are paying top dollar!

  • exc3113nce on 24/07/2019 - 07:17

    I wonder if Boost will react and put a discount on their 80GB/240GB plans?

  • neonlight on 24/07/2019 - 07:47

    Currently got prepaid Telstra freedom plus. Can I just simply buy this and recharge?

  • orlimg on 24/07/2019 - 07:52

    Does this include AFL like postpaid Telstra plans?

    • chumlee on 24/07/2019 - 08:01

      Yes. Says it on the webpage

  • livo81 on 24/07/2019 - 08:00

    Two questions ghyat

    1-currently have boost can I use this to recharge? Or will I need to port

    2- if I. Port do I lose afl and nrl that I had with boost?

    Cheers

    • chumlee on 24/07/2019 - 08:01

      This has afl & nrl

  • hootie on 24/07/2019 - 08:15

    Would Telstra and Boost be identical in terms of quality of the network?

    My friend signed up to the boost deal and has complained about some call drop outs, I was just wondering if he'd have the same issues if it was Telstra.

  • zemphism on 24/07/2019 - 08:27

    Is the data calculated per kB or mb?

    • tempura on 24/07/2019 - 08:37

      No provider will calculate by MB now. all KB.

  • Bakelite on 24/07/2019 - 09:42

    FWIW Telstra can move your number from post paid to pre paid, I spoke to a rep earlier who said it couldn't be done, but I tried again later last night.

    It took being transferred 5 times until I asked for a supervisor in online chat but they moved my number last night, when I got up this morning I was on prepaid with my number retained.

    • ashftc on 24/07/2019 - 10:41

      What was your previous postpaid plan? 24 months, 12 months, month to month? I am on 12 months plan and the only option I can see is to first convert to month to month and then to prepaid to avoid early termination fee. If I convert directly, I will attract early termination fee.

      • davemc on 24/07/2019 - 12:58

        well done Bakelite I tried last night and they had no idea.

      • Bakelite on 25/07/2019 - 01:26

        It was a 12 month plan, expiring 31st July.

        Seems the bottom tier chat agents have no idea what to do hence why I was passed around 5 times, the supervisor had it done within 15 minutes

  • kurious on 24/07/2019 - 10:15

    I am assuming that unlimited calls include calls to all Australian mobiles.

    Can someone please inform if unlimited calls to "standard Australian numbers" include 13xx/18xx numbers ??

    Telstra's Critical Information Summary is very ambiguous. Doesn't make any mention of 13xx/18xx numbers.

    I chatted with Telstra chat support and rep said that 13xx/18xx are premium numbers and they are not included in unlimited.
    That's very unusual.

    • jakeyo on 24/07/2019 - 10:44

      Can confirm it includes 13 and 1800 numbers, I swear telstra live chat reps don’t even know what they are offering

      • kurious on 24/07/2019 - 13:00

        Thank you. Very helpful. Wish I could say the same about Telstra support or website. :)

    • 190978314 on 24/07/2019 - 15:25

      13xx &18xx ,I believe it’s incl, I am using the the telstra prepaid and postpaid account,

  • punkel on 24/07/2019 - 10:31

    If with Telstra, you can't port your current number to this deal. Only have a new number. confirmed with online chat. Sucks!

    • jakeyo on 24/07/2019 - 10:43

      You just port to optus for 24 hours and port back. Easy!

      • punkel on 24/07/2019 - 10:45

        which optus deal to port to?

        • ashftc on 24/07/2019 - 10:57

          $2 prepaid sim card. No balance

          • AssociatedTomGum @ Telstra on 24/07/2019 - 11:24

            @ashftc: I thought it required a minimum $10 recharge.

            • ashftc on 24/07/2019 - 11:29

              @TomGum: Not necessary. You can port in your number to a blank prepaid sim card which will cost $2. Fastest way is to pop in to any Optus or Vodafone store and get it done.

              • AssociatedTomGum @ Telstra on 24/07/2019 - 11:31

                @ashftc: The link below says… "Recharge required to activate SIM at a minimum cost of $10"

                https://offer.optus.com.au/shop/prepaid/sim-card/2-sim?

                • ashftc on 24/07/2019 - 11:32

                  @TomGum: I haven't personally done myself. Will be doing it today or tomorrow. Will try Vodafone first as someone here posted porting is quicker with VF. Pretty sure, if you visit instore, they will be able to do it on blank $2 sim card

                  • AssociatedTomGum @ Telstra on 24/07/2019 - 11:34

                    @ashftc: A hint with Vodafone….. When I activated a $2 Vodafone sim, it asked me to sign up to a prepaid plan ($10 being the minimum). I had to proceed using my credit card. But luckily I ported out within 2 hours and I didn't get charged $10 on my card yet.

                    • ashftc on 24/07/2019 - 11:35

                      @TomGum: Guess even $10 is a fair bet because this deal is too lucrative to miss out for such a small amount.

          Listed on sale till 05 August 2019.

          (Just an fyi for anyone wanting quick and cheap sim)

          Need app for barcode.
          and a 7eleven nearby 😊

    • willyroo on 24/07/2019 - 11:25

      I just spoke with A### on live chat. He confirmed I can port my existing - off contract - number from post paid to prepaid.
      1) Buy the prepaid (going nowhere at the moment)
      2) Go to live chat with the SIM details
      3) It gets added to the existing account with the same number

      That all being said - just buy a $2 VF SIM and port across, then back again. VF ports are quick, I found the Optus ones not quite as fast however YMMV

  • docpol on 24/07/2019 - 10:32

    I'm currently on an old postpaid plan but this seems like a great deal. Do you also get $300 credit for use on premium numbers in addition to the inclusions or you have to buy additional credit?

  • abhi900 on 24/07/2019 - 10:33

    On data usage part, if we exceed data usage 150gb say by end of 9 months or 10 months then what are the options to get additional data ? $10 datapack for 1 gb ? that will turn out to be sooo expensive ?

      Purchase another recharge or look at your options and move to another provider. Boost might have a better deal in the future

    I am currently on Telstra prepaid that expires on 30th of Aug and here is what I am going to do. Please let me know if I got anything wrong.

    1. Buy this $200 telstra prepaid sim on or before 5th of Aug.
      1.1 Tell telsra to send me a sim with activation expiry set to sometime after October 2019
      1.2 Order catch $4.90 sim on the same day
    2. Port out to catch for 30days on 30th of Aug.
    3. Activate the $200 sim and port in on 29th of Sept.
    • 190978314 on 24/07/2019 - 15:34

      Port your number to other service and come back , very easy. No need other step.

    • ashftc on 24/07/2019 - 15:35

      Don't you need to buy the new sim and port out the same day?

    • willyroo on 24/07/2019 - 15:43

      Ditch 1.1, change 2. to "Port out to Catch as soon as it arrives", and 3. to "Activate the $200 sim asap". This will prevent any grief or issues, and your existing Telstra settings like messagebank may still be in place for the short time you port out then back in again…

    • tempura on 24/07/2019 - 15:49

      1.1 Tell Telstra to send me a sim with activation expiry set to sometime after October 2019

      this step is non-existent as Telstra cannot guarantee the sim that they send out will or will not expires after October 2019

  • Spartan on 24/07/2019 - 17:17

    • Walleee-y on 24/07/2019 - 20:14

      Ordered one for myself, then tried ordering one for my SO. Checkout page just kept looping. Tried different computers, cards, banks, wi-fi, etc. Nothing stopped the loop. Contacted live-chat and only got: "try again in 24 hours". I suspect it's linked to the same address?
      24 hours later and they're out of stock… Your question remains to be unanswered.

      • [Deactivated] on 24/07/2019 - 20:15

        Update: Actually I think the rep was making up the 1 per person as the first thing that came into his head, trying to explain why there is only one in the order that has been shipped. My other order has not yet been shipped but he is now backpedalling and saying I "should" get the other one from the other order.
        I have two order numbers in two receipt emails from Telstra last night, one for each order, but only one shipping notification for the first order.
        I actually also had the looping experience last night after paypal when ordering on my phone. I did not get a receipt or order number from this one, and did the other two orders on my pc.

    Asked Telstra rep why there is a delay in receiving confirmation emails. She was saying like they are overwhelmed with the number of orders they have received in the last couple of days and that's the reason for the delay.

    I couldn't understand her logic as an IT pro unless there is some manual process involved in sending emails.

    I placed my order at 3pm today and still no confirmation. Checked bank, $200 deducted at the time of the order.
