Good for low usage, long expiry users.
I like how there are included minutes, texts and data, rather than an 'as you go' plan, eg Amaysim $10, 365 days, where you pay per minute/text/MB.

Pre-Paid Mobile $35
6 months expiry
Click on 'Casual Plan' on the Link to see.

Inclusions:
350MB data
95 call minutes to standard Australian numbers
120 texts (SMS/MMS) to standard Australian numbers
Capped 4G and 5G speeds. Download speeds are capped at 150mbps on our 4G and 5G network. Great for most customers’ regular usage including streaming, browsing and social media.
Some very limited international calls and texts as well!

      I still use it for I my galaxy watch. Agree with you on limited data

        Can this be used in Apple Watch ..?

          Nope, just android watches work work around. The day I find work around for apple, I will switch to apple eco system

          • munted on 07/10/2024 - 00:13

            @hopper: Does it need to be connected to a phone, like could you give your kid (that doesn't own a phone but has a Samsung wifi tablet) a Samsung Watch with an eSIM to use to make calls?

              @munted: It needs phone for initial pairing, tablet might work. It's works as a standalone phone but battery will drain faster if you use lte a lot instead of WiFi or Bluetooth. Try getting watches with bigger battery.

            @celery juice: hello, hope you could help.
            how do you activate it as long expiry plan.. as in get the 30GB but longer than 28 days expiry?

            • Noob Noob on 07/10/2024 - 03:26
              +4

              @squidz: If I remember correctly, the $35 (for $12) and $45 (for $15) sim starter kits are just 'credit' and after you receive the sim and go to the Telstra activation website then you can choose to spend that 'credit' to activate any one of their plans, and then the remaining 'credit' will be stored on your account for that sim card.

              Example:

              1. Buy $45 sim starter kit for $15
              2. Receive kit in mail.
              3. Activate sim on Telstra website
              4. Choose to spend $35 of your credit to activate the " Pre-Paid Casual Plans - 350MB - 6 Month Expiry"
              5. Plan gets activated and you have $10 credit left on your sim card
              6. Enjoy using plan for 6 months.
              7. You can use the remaining $10 credit to partially pay to renew this plan at full price $39 from 22 October, or use it towards a different Telstra plan or Topup option

              *Caution: If you port out you will lose any remaining credit.

              So if you plan to immediately port out after 6 months and can't find anything to spend that extra $10 credit on, than you might as well just buy the cheaper $35 (for $12) and save yourself spending $3 for extra credit you won't use.

              P.S. I don't have a Telstra account so I cannot check if they will let you buy a data top-up for your 6-month 350MB plan.
              IF they did, then that would be useful and maybe increase your total data up to 550MB or something.
              Have to wait for someone else answer to that one though.

                @Noob Noob: When you activate a prepaid sim kit you’ll only have the option of activating it with the value of the kit itself. There’s no option to activate it with a lesser value and have credit left over.

                To answer your 2nd question, yes you can top up a casual plan with extra data.

                • Sirajs on 07/10/2024 - 12:35

                  @celery juice: Does that mean we can activate it with $45 and get 6 month expiry? Or we can activate with $35 and get $10 credit ?

                  • Associatedcelery juice @ Telstra on 07/10/2024 - 13:18
                    +3

                    @Sirajs: If you purchase the $45 kit then you’ll only have the option to activate as a $45 prepaid (for casual it’s 6 months, 550mb data and a little under 2 hrs calling)

                • EarlyBird on 07/10/2024 - 13:27

                  @celery juice: How much does it cost to top up a casual plan with extra data?

                  • Associatedcelery juice @ Telstra on 07/10/2024 - 13:50

                    @EarlyBird: $5 for 1gb, 7 days expiry
                    $20 for 4GBs, 28 days expiry

              +2

              @squidz: The long expiry plan will be a ‘prepaid casual’ thus you wont get the 30GB data, but the 350mb instead.

            @celery juice: Is there an expiry date on these? I.e. I want to buy one, but not activate it until about 6 months time.

              +1

              @mandelbrot: Yes, they’ll be printed on the back of the sim kit.

          • Wardaddy on 11/10/2024 - 10:21

            @celery juice: I don't understand, the link says it comes with 60GB, but the thread here says 350MB. I doesn't seem to make sense?

            • Associatedcelery juice @ Telstra on 11/10/2024 - 13:32

              @Wardaddy: The 60gb is your standard prepaid mobile. The 350mb is prepaid casual. Prepaid Casual is a long expiry option with little inclusions, suitable for people who don't use the phone a whole lot or are using wifi a majority of the time.

      Telstra's both SKs hit the bottom price with high bonus data coz the base prices are due to increase. It tries to hook more customers before then. It is just corporate dodgy practice for those unknowns.

      It can be used as $12 for 60GB, only second to Boost atm, beats Optus/Vodafone $35 and amaysim/Kogan equivalent plans. I have explained above why Telstra is more generous than its competitors.

        +2

        You can top up an existing service with it! If you purchase the SIM card (costs $5) you’ll have $5 of value already on it. Then can recharge with $15 which is 365 days.

    • abacus on 06/10/2024 - 21:39

      Telstra retail coverage is different to Aldi wholesale coverage

      • noren7 on 06/10/2024 - 21:48

        True! However if you are not in an area with poor Telstra coverage (e.g. remote area with limited frequencies in use), needing >100Mbps data rates (shouldn’t on $15 a year I guess) then no prob

      Yes, it is time to crack down on Telcos' pricings now. How come the $30 SK increases to $39(from 22 Oct) in 15 mths?

      • kipps on 07/10/2024 - 10:34

        Because Telstra is bleeding the public dry by trading on its name, and it’s otherwise using its cheaper MVNOs to capture those that do their research.

        Unless you really need One Number for your Apple Watch, or absolutely cannot buy your handsets outright, there’s really no reason to be on a Telstra plan anymore (since they squashed handset subsidies), and you’d be better off with an MVNO.

        This deal is a good one but it’ll trap people into it on renewals with high usage rates if they’re not careful. The typical Telstra way.

  • outsideworld on 06/10/2024 - 23:05

      The free phone is a telstra flip 4 or telstra t- lite. Very basic, generic phones around the $50-75 price range. I personally think whatever phone you source yourself will probably be better….

    Used to have a Telstra $5/month/5GB data sim in 2021… shaped to 1.5mbps which was still okay for doing a few light things. Assuming the answer is no, would this offer offer throttled data after the 350MB has been used up? Anyone know of any good providers that offer a low monthly but unlimited 1.5mbps. Worked well for a remote device that didn't need much is why I am asking.

  • klrrider1 on 07/10/2024 - 10:57

    I bought the $12 Telstra physical SIM. I used the Telstra website Casual User option.

    The website claims that after I install the SIM, I can use their number or port another number.

    I envisage two possible uses for this SIM:

    1. Reclaim my old number that TPG was unable to reconnect (I received $200 compensation for this after the TIO intervened).

    2. Install it in my old Nokia to use a Samsung Tile to find my motorcycle, if stolen. (I cannot use Apple Air Tag as the IOS on my iPhone 6 is too old).

    Telsta has a limit of 2 SIMs per customer.

    Indian call centres use huge numbers of Australian mobile numbers and land line numbers as the apparent source of their calls.
