TEL515

UPDATE: See this comment. Presto has changed the free months to 3 (instead of 6).

Telstra are giving T-Box customers 6 months of free Presto - but it's just a coupon code so can't see why it wouldn't work for everyone.

Make sure you access it through presto.com.au/telstra - fill in your details, confirm your email address, then choose the $14.99 a month plan and apply the coupon code in the box below it and it will give you 6 months 3 months of free Presto.

Presto has it's flaws, the catalogue is a bit average especially for TV - I think Netflix and Stan are better, but it's pretty great for free.

You've got until June 30 to take up the offer and you do need to provide credit card details - just make sure you cancel before the trial is up if you don't want to be charged.

Enjoy!

      TEL615 - 3 months
      TEL715 - Your promo code was not recognised

  • SirNed on 26/03/2015 - 11:13

    Payment Details

    Payment today will only be $0.00. Presto on any mobile network & on any non-Telstra home broadband service will incur data charges. Using Presto on a Telstra Home Broadband connection won’t count towards your data allowance but data charges will be incurred with other home broadband providers.

    Seems they may check to see if you are watching over a Non telstra connection.

    Who wants to take a chance?

    • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2015 - 11:17

      Nah that's just saying if you're using Telstra home broadband, your bandwidth isn't counted. Other ISPs,Telstra mobile, Tesltra business, the data will count.

      • SirNed on 26/03/2015 - 12:06

        I really should learn to read it properly. I missed the DATA word in it.

    • cameldownunder on 26/03/2015 - 11:26

      The other way. Telstra does not charge if you connect to presto. The other Internet provider will data transfer charges for MB transferred. If you are on an unlimited plan … no problem.

      • DEvok on 27/03/2015 - 11:48

        So if I bought a telstra prepaid sim and it only costs $2, unlimited free presto? You would be using a Telstra product after all and shouldn't take data.

        • John Dough on 27/03/2015 - 14:12

          Mobile networks are not exempt, even Telstra's

    Soon they'll be giving away for free & just using advertising revenue to fund it.
    Then later on they can have a separate premium subscriber service which gets the content 1-3yrs ahead, but Ad free. Then they'll start putting ads on the premium service & offering a new ultra premium service which will stream 4k video.

    No one has ever thought of that model before!

          +7

          So that those poor people (like me) aernt forced into paying $88 a month to get the basic package and sport or whatever outrageous amount they charge just to watch sports like AFL which is simply due to the fact there is no competition. Bring on this competition and keep forcing those prices down instead of gouging us as hard as possible

        • NotAMoodle on 26/03/2015 - 17:14

          @Sira:

          It's $25 per month for the basic package, $50 with sports. Hardly breaks the bank.

        • viggenn on 26/03/2015 - 18:35

          @dazzywazzy:

          The problem is if you want anything else other than basic you're forced to have sport ☹

        • NotAMoodle on 26/03/2015 - 20:33

          @viggenn:

          Ture, except you can get Basic + Drama which doesn't require sport :)

        • NotAMoodle on 26/03/2015 - 20:33

          @Sira:

          Actually with sports its $45 per month

    I had already used a previous code to get 1 month free.

    So, I parked that account, and created a new one with the code TEL515 (different email address).

    It works for 6 months. Brilliant tip.

    By the way, for the person talking about Presto monitoring which network you are connecting from.
    They only refer to data charges from that network, not from Presto itself.

      Not necessary. You can simply delete your existing account (bottom of the "my account" settings) and re-create the account again.

  • peterlong1952 on 26/03/2015 - 11:28

    If i sign up and cancel after 3 months, does my service cancel from then or do I get to keep what i've "paid" for and stay for 6 months? As I'm writing it i'm thinking it'll cancel straight away..

    • jordan23140 on 26/03/2015 - 11:50

      It doesn't end early if you cancel.

      • Benjamin7711 on 26/03/2015 - 12:08

        So I could technically sign up, then cancel after 2 days and I would keep the 6 months? Without any threat of being charged after the 6 months?

        • superforever on 26/03/2015 - 12:15

          I don't think so, if you cancel it now it will work until that month.

    No subtitle on any Australia streaming service like Quicklix, Presto. What an ignorance, totally not friendly to non-native English watchers.

    Netlix not only support English but also several other languages.

    • superforever on 26/03/2015 - 12:00

      That is why we sign up only because it is free.

      • nguyenkhuong87 on 26/03/2015 - 12:05

        Agree, We can think that we have free movies instead of free premium streaming service.

    • bargaino on 26/03/2015 - 12:41

      Another reason why DRM sucks. If they let you download the movies and use your own player, you could easily obtain subtitles.

    • tinkko on 26/03/2015 - 12:43

      How can I add the subtitle, can't find any way, thanks.

      • dontpanic on 26/03/2015 - 13:10

      It's pretty shocking that they can't implement this. I live with a housemate with a hearing impairment and this service is absolutely useless. Guess we'll stick with subtitled WEB-DL torrents till they pick up their game.

      On the quality front, there's no way that Presto will survive with sub-par SD streaming whilst Netflix offers up 4K. At this stage, Presto is barely worth it at 6 months free. I won't be paying unless something changes.

      • adumb on 26/03/2015 - 23:02

        Yes, disappointed that they don't offer HD, HD TV's have been out for many years now. With prices coming down all the time many people would have HD capable sets nowadays and yet all we seem to get offered from these broadcasters is SD quality(free to air is mostly SD, foxtel play is SD presto SD etc etc).

        Not to mention I can get quickflix and Netflix on my dad's bravia TV and also on my ps4. I can't get presto on anything other than browser, apparently my phone is an unsupported device so the only way to get it on any of the TV's in our house is to hook a computer up? Wtf? They are not even trying to compete…

    • unco on 26/03/2015 - 12:00

      I think you can cancel anytime within your 6th month and the service will continue until the end of that period.

    • spiev on 26/03/2015 - 13:04

      All content on Presto is delivered in SD (so sub 720p). There is no HD content.

      Between the shit quality, no subtitles, and lame library, I don't even think I'll bite at the price of free. Good find though.

        No wonder, looks like i'm watching an AVI file from the 90's. Awful on anything bigger than a phone.

        Surely this company can't last another 6 months?

    • ItsMeAgro on 26/03/2015 - 13:24
      +2

      Presto wont say, but googling around, it looks like it maxes out at about 480p, with a varying bit rate. So not even HD.

      So phones and smaller tablets only. Absolutely not worth anyone's time, even if it's free, for viewing on your TV or even laptop. It's best quality is significantly worse than DVD on non-tiny screens.

      from their faQ's

      Just to clarify, as a Presto account holder, you are able to access every piece of content on the service, but for those rated higher (which in turn have restricted access), you'll need a PIN to access these. This is designed to ensure that if you're sharing your account with younger members of your family,that they'll not be easily able to access mature content by simply clicking to view.

      You can still view content with any rating on the service, but in the cases of higher rated mature content will need to enter your Presto Account PIN.

      • payton on 26/03/2015 - 14:28
