Telstra's Extra Small data plan is normally $15/month, but connections during '7 Day Frenzy' get $10/month off for the first 12 months.

No lock-in contract, so you can cancel any time and DONT FORGET $45 CASHREWARDS which will equate to $15 for 12 MONTHS , this means $1.25 per month for 5GB data- THIS IS CRAZY!

MOD: Received email from affiliate channel representing Telstra stating that Telstra are currently having tracking issue, and sales through cashback sites such as Cashrewards might not track properly.

Buy it, use it, bank it, boast it, harder better faster stronger!

No excess data charges. When you exceed your allowance, you can continue to access data, but your speed will be capped at 1.5Mbps.

This is a data SIM, so you can use it in devices like tablet, mobile dongles etc. You might be able to use it in a phone, but you can't make calls, it's not made for normal SMS use (charged at PAYG rates).

New customers only. If you want a higher plan instead, $10 discount currently applies those also.

Critical information summary (but does not list the $10/month discount)

Mod: Thanks to Giles for the description, copy pasted from them (who posted the duplicate deal).

    Just a PSA regarding delivery times. I ordered this sim w/ the discount that was happening back in april and took 13 business days (roughly 3 weeks) after the order was completed online (3 days after application) so be prepared to wait a little longer due to the covid situation.

    My local AusPost also hasnt been delivering any parcels and just dropping off cards in the mailbox so you might need to sign for this yourself when you pick it up at your LPO.

      Unrelated!

        Be that as it may, just giving people a heads up on extended delivery wait times when ordering (anything) from telstra online.

    • captain smash on 20/05/2020 - 07:05

      It’s also possibly because Toll, Telstra’s delivery partner, has been smashed by a cyber attack

      • choosk on 20/05/2020 - 15:12
        +1

        That's most likely the case too, the Toll staff that I've dealt with lately have been using pen & paper for all their deliveries.

    • dcep on 20/05/2020 - 14:18

      so this needs signature on delivery ?

      • choosk on 20/05/2020 - 15:10
        +2

        Yes. The SIM was already activated when I received it, just had to pop it into my hotspot. Most likely the reason why signature is required (so no random can get it and start using it).

        • ozhunter68 on 20/05/2020 - 21:52

          If Telstra pre activates the sim before you receive it, from when does the billing month start?

          Sounds like from order process date, hence you would lose approx 2 weeks by the time you got it, correct?

          • choosk on 20/05/2020 - 22:07
            +2

            @ozhunter68: That’s a good question. That’s what i was worried about when i realised it was preactivated, but when i put it into my hostpot, the display said 29 days left, which also reflects what my billing period shows on my telstra account page.

            I can only guess as to what their process is for activating the sim, perhaps when they get notified by auspost tracking that the item has been received by the LPO?

            • ozhunter68 on 21/05/2020 - 07:28

              @choosk: That's good then, so we don't lose one to two weeks of service like some other sims.

  • xraytango on 20/05/2020 - 00:03

    Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm confused, it says "Mobile data Get $10/mth credit For the first 12 months when you take up and stay connected to a new data plan. Credit not available if you already receive a credit on your bill. Plan price may change." - I currently have an existing post-paid mobile plan with Telstra with a monthly mobile credit of $10, would I still be able to take advantage of this deal's $10 credit? Would appreciate if anyone can clarify please, thank you.

    • choosk on 20/05/2020 - 00:18

      It seems you will need to add a new service/plan for this current $10 discount to apply, unlikely that your current $10 discount on your existing plan will carry over.

      • xraytango on 20/05/2020 - 01:21

        Thank you for your reply. That was what I thought, given that they're two separate types of plans but I wasn't sure and wanted to see what others thought. I'll hop on to live chat (Codi wasn't very helpful earlier) in the morning to try and clarify. Thanks!

  • blewey on 20/05/2020 - 00:24

    Cashrewards takes me to the wrong link, I had to change the URL manually. What are the chances i still get my cashback?

    • WIND on 20/05/2020 - 00:45

      Same, as long as you use a desktop and cashback was activated, i think it should be fine.
      I took a screenshot too just in case 😅

    • Pareto8020 on 20/05/2020 - 01:16

      I reckon it should work - did you get the cashrewards tracking email?

      Personally, this is what I did after clicking through from cashrewards:

      On the Telstra site, go to Personal (top left corner) / Internet / Mobile Broadband / See SIM only data plans. Extra small option available here.
      After clicking through all that on the Telstra site, I received my Cashrewards tracking email about 15 minutes after completing the purchase with Telstra.

      • ISO9002 on 20/05/2020 - 02:26

        The link directly from Cashrewards aint working. Would the cashrewards tracking works if I click on OP's link directly while logged in on cashrewards on another tap?

        • Lukian on 20/05/2020 - 02:29

          Not sure this is eligible, it's not technically a sim only plan, and definitely not a phone plan.

          • ISO9002 on 20/05/2020 - 02:54

            @Lukian: Done. Ordered. Logged in Cashrewards on one tap, clicked with OP's link directly and completed the order. Will see if the cashrewards shows up later.

        • bob19 on 21/05/2020 - 00:38

          I used Cashrewards link, found this data only deal, ordered. However, 24 hours later my Cashrewards cashback still hasn't been confirmed.

          • ISO9002 on 21/05/2020 - 01:16

            @bob19: Mine as well. Nothing came up in the account. I read the site saying you can reclaim it later but not sure exactly how.

        • avoidfullprice on 21/05/2020 - 14:16

          Got tracked just then, will see if I get the $45.

          I went to cash reward website, then to Telstra site vis Shop Now button. On Telstra website Select Personal on top - Internet on left - Mobile broadband on the middle right. Click see data plans. Then follow website

          • ISO9002 on 21/05/2020 - 14:42

            @avoidfullprice: Thats what i did afterwards, but so far nothing shows up, so will see. Appreciate if anyone would update us when their cashrewards shows up.

                @GetEmAll: I havent received any cashback email confirmation, but i did receive an email with this…

                "We noticed you clicked on Telstra Mobile. If you’ve made a purchase, we will notify you of your Cashback within 7 days. Your Cashback will also appear in your Cashrewards account."

                Not sure if this means it got thru.

  • jes on 20/05/2020 - 03:10

    Just signed up with Cashrewards for the first time before signing up with Telstra. Had been too lazy to sign up with Cashrewards but can't miss this $45 offer.

    Only need this additional boost of data until the end of the year so I will literally get paid $15 for using this 1.5Mps unlimited data plan for free for 6 months. Life's good.

          Don't worry, now you're signed up and ready for all the new deals to "save" even more!

          Also, the 5% off Woolworths gift vouchers should save you a bit (assuming you weren't buying elsewhere, and that you shop at Woolworths)

          • DarkOz on 21/05/2020 - 06:30

            @danyool: How does that work? Buy Woolworths gift vouchers through CR to earn 5%? You can still earn Woolworths reward points by shopping with these gift vouchers?

            • danyool on 21/05/2020 - 13:22

              @DarkOz: For the Woolworths ones you go through Cash rewards site then it takes you to Woolworths site and you buy at 5% instant discount. Don't have to wait for cash back.

              Eg $100 gift card and pay $95

              Yes, can earn WW rewards points.
              You can use in store or online.

              Can also use it at Woolworths Caltex petrol stations (but not all and it's a bit confusing which accepts it - but 7-11 fuel locks will usually be cheaper)

              Also, I'd suggest getting Woolworths Money app then when your gift card arrives you can save the details in the app to keep track of your balances.

    Got real excited about the deal, and then realised that it's data only. :-(

      Get a $5 Dodo unlimited call and text sim and use it on a dual sim smart phone. $10 all you can eat call, text and data. This is crazy!

      • bazingaa on 20/05/2020 - 18:33

        Is that the cheapest call only sim available right now?

        • DarkOz on 21/05/2020 - 06:26

          I believe so. I can't see it getting lower than $5 for unlimited call and text. Great for people that don't need data on the go.

            +1

            @DarkOz: I reckon the woolworths mobile $10 offer is better. Well it definitely is if you spend more than $50 per shop at woolworths. With it you'll get 10% off one shop a month and you get 1gb data which will roll over every month providing a back up if you need to call on it at any time.

  • Ruisu on 20/05/2020 - 08:45

      I sometimes use it on an ipad, I think you may need a mobile/tablet device to set up the nrl account and can then log in elsewhere.

      There are ways to get it on the TV screen but it looks like FTA SD sport. You would be better off with the Kayo beteasy 3 month offers if that was what you were after.

    on a sort of related question. Since having an active Telstra service gives you access to Telstra Air, is there a way to bridge the Telstra Air network? Or something equivalent? So that I don't have to sign in to every device everytime? Telstra App on iphone works pretty well, but my laptop and android tablet always make me sign in again

    • henrus on 20/05/2020 - 18:38

      In the past I've used a small receiver like the tp link mr3020.

      In just means that you need to do the sign on one every 12 hours via the link https://telstra.com.au/airconnect

      and then once signed on to a single device all devices are connected through the modem instead of directly to the Telstra air hotspot.

      No idea, also when I was signing up no option to port. I’m assuming being a “data” sim there is no need to port. So I would say probably not. Personally I would not risk it, as you could loose your number .
