Telstra Pixel 2xl Deal Now End of Plan, What Is Everyone Doing?

tryagain on 02/03/2020 - 13:40

So the very popular Pixel 2xl deal is now 2 years old, and people would now be coming out of contract, so I am wondering what other people are going to do?

Due to Telstra's monumental incompetence, I ended up with my plan being $39pm for 20GB (wife ended up with $49pm but with a $240 credit at one stage). Both of these are still better than Telstra's current cheapest BYO offering.

Our phones are still working well, and we really need the Telstra network, so a very quick comparison has the $30/30GBpm with Woolworths looking pretty good. And then wait to see if another good plan/deal for a new phone comes about in the near future.

But I am interested to hear what other people are considering doing.

    If your phones are still working well, just look for the best / most suited plan on the Telstra infrastructure.
    We use Aldi, it works for us.

    If you need Telstra network, then buy Boost or Telstra. Boost are doing insanely good deals at the moment.

    Telstra Wholesale Network Coverage (ALDI, Woolies, Telechoice, Belong) is barely better than Optus. Check Coverage maps before you sign on to a Telstra Wholesale reseller.

    Not a Tea person myself, but will go an iced coffee and contemplate what Telstra MVNO I should go with.

    wishing I did not destroy my 2XL by dropping it and buying a 3XL which is not as good as the 2xl

      May I ask what you don't find as good about the 3XL?

      • hornethomer on 14/03/2020 - 18:12

        Not as reliable, it freezes and the cut out is ugly.

      Same, my 2XL is sitting at the bottom of the Sydney Harbour, so I picked up the 3XL, disappointing phone. The software and camera are great but RAM, battery life and 'approved' wireless charging is a mess.

      Prob going to grab a S20+ from the education portal and move to a Telstra MVNO. I'd grab the Oneplus 7T pro if it had wireless charging, the camera doesn't really bother me these days but that on top of limited support in aus kills it for me.

    Have ported out to kogan for now. Sitting tight waiting on a decent oneplus 7 / 7t pro deal, or one of the new xiaomi phones. Could be tempted by a 4XL at the right price or the 4a.

      Now considering the S20+ 5g through samsung epp for $1,149 (-$50 newsletter code). Figure if I really don't like one ui, resale should be decent enough…

    I'm also waiting on a new deal! My wife just moved to the Pixel 4 deal from Vodafone..but after going XL…i can't go back.
    Just went over to Amaysim month on month waiting for a new phone deal to come out..
    Pixel 2 XL is still going strong though.
