    390MB won't go f <disconnected>

    • trixieb on 10/12/2024 - 16:20

      You need a different plan for more than 390MB.

    • hopper on 10/12/2024 - 16:27

      works great for my watch standalone plan

      • rickb on 10/12/2024 - 16:33

        How is that possible? I thought watches only work on post-paid plans.

    • nick90 on 11/12/2024 - 22:21

      I remember back in 2009 when Telstra offered 200MB at 256kbps for $29, and you were paying through the nose if you exceeded your 200MB quota

    +++ATH

    Even in the 90s, it would still take you 32hrs to download 390MBs at 33.6kbps.

    And it would take a while to load this much data off a CD-ROM.

    Whats 390MB these days? 1 x 7 min Youtube video LOL

    • trixieb on 10/12/2024 - 16:35

      The amount of data YouTube uses depends on the video quality, length, and optimization settings:

      144p: Uses 80 MB per hour
      240p: Uses 200 MB per hour
      360p: Uses 300 MB per hour
      480p: Uses 500 MB per hour
      720p (HD): Uses 870 MB per hour
      1080p (Full HD): Uses 1.65 GB per hour
      4K (Ultra HD): Uses up to 3 GB per hour

      I was looking earlier but couldn't find the casual plan listed. Only the 7-day or 28-day plan for $13 or $39. How did you find the casual plan?

      • couger on 10/12/2024 - 17:28

        buy the $39 kit, and activate as a 6 months casual plan.

    Nice, this looks like a cheap way to keep an outgoing second number for online dates and such.
    Always a little annoying when someone you've just met doesn't use WhatsApp and you need to decide if they're worth a $10 recharge.

        No included text messages! For only $13 I can date 70 girls over the next 6 months and send them each two SMS's. 'Where do you want to meet?' and 'On my Way'. And it still only cost me $13! :)

          Combined with your $6 Telstra Lite 2 you will be a real woman magnet* for only $19.

  • HillValleyHustle on 10/12/2024 - 17:06

    Any clue if we have any deadline on the activation date?

    • trixieb on 10/12/2024 - 17:15

      No deadline requirement listed except for the expiry date of the SIM card. Don't know the expiry date but it would be new stock from Oct 2024.

    • moorey on 10/12/2024 - 17:39

      Says activate by 10 March 2025

      • trixieb on 10/12/2024 - 17:50

        Where did you see that on the casual plan? I saw the activate by date on the 28-day and long life plans but couldn't see an activate date for the casual plan.

    Great to just keep number active on the cheap to receive SMS codes etc

    • Maestrok on 10/12/2024 - 17:39

      wouldn't amaysim be better then? unless you really need Telstra

      • Dyl on 10/12/2024 - 18:18

        Is Amaysim cheaper..?

      • ATTS on 10/12/2024 - 19:25

        What are the main differences with telstra, optus and vodafone?

        Also do they all dont work inside hospital?

        • Dyl on 11/12/2024 - 10:32

          Telstra and Optus usually work best in buildings because they use lower frequencies that travel through walls easier, Vodafone is quite sucky for that.

          • ATTS on 11/12/2024 - 12:41

            @Dyl: Thanks when i wqs with boost ( now bought by telstra) also it didnt have any bars in hospital. Is this normal or something wrong with my phone

            • Dyl on 11/12/2024 - 15:06

              @ATTS: Normal if through too many walls (ie inner parts of hospital, not near window). Hospital should have WiFi usually

              Band 28 works in doors best, make sure your phone supports this

                @Dyl: Thanks, yeah didnt like using public wifi thats why

                How do i check band28. It is a samsung s21 galaxy

                Does it toggle auto between bands or need to be manually activated

      • bbinc on 20/12/2024 - 09:15

        Amaysim is cheaper until you accidentally set it to active for calls out.
        But is great for 2FA codes

    • hopper on 10/12/2024 - 18:00

      Also incoming calls while overseas via WiFi calling

      • Dyl on 10/12/2024 - 18:19

        This doesn't work does it? WiFi calling requires you to still be registered on the network I thought

        • hopper on 10/12/2024 - 20:59

          it worked for me while i was in India. even when my phone was on airplane mode with WiFi on

          • Dyl on 11/12/2024 - 01:02

            @hopper: Awesome, will try this next time I travel with a Telstra sim.

            It didn't work on Felix. Required me to connect to a network, then charged roaming rates even on WiFi (used my 100 roaming minutes).

    That's why Telstra, AusPost and Qantas should be nationalised.

        • Wardaddy on 10/12/2024 - 19:28

          Back then, before mobile phones, there was a two year waiting list for a landline from Telstra. If you wanted to call overseas at Christmas you had to book the call three months ahead and pay $2 a minute.

    • 1st-Amendment on 11/12/2024 - 10:35

      should be nationalised.

    I have a Kogan SIM for my day to day but I also use this casual plan to get Telstra coverage when I go rural.

    It's good to have it for semi-emergencies: needing to urgently contact family, roadside assistance, getting directions to your rural AirBnB etc.

    • ATTS on 10/12/2024 - 19:34

      Oh would satelite phone be more suited for emergencies?

      • qwerty-4321 on 10/12/2024 - 19:45

        I carry a PLB when I go truly remote. The Telstra SIM is more for trips out to the countryside.

        • ATTS on 10/12/2024 - 19:55

          Oh yes the beacon. Thanks i forgot about that. I remember some places let you borrow the beacon for free. Is that still the case

          • qwerty-4321 on 11/12/2024 - 09:06

    • fromthehatch on 11/12/2024 - 15:29

      Yea, you can buy data packs on this. Theres an expiry limit that kills the value though. $5 for 7 days (1gb). or $20 for 28 days.
