Telstra are targeting the ethnic market with a special bundle.

It's their $120 large bundle (https://www.telstra.com.au/broadband/nbn/nbn-bundles#) but with Foxtel Entertainment pack ($26 per month usually) and International Ultimate ($15 per month) thrown in on top for free.

The bundle is targeted at people with overseas relatives and is in theory sold only in the stores listed in the linked pages - but the guys on the phone can do it too - call 1800 834 273.

You can argue whether the large bundle that includes 1000gb of data and all local/national/mobile calls, Telstra TV and unlimted Telstra Air until 31/3/17 is good value for $120 per month, but throwing in another $41 on top certainly makes it a lot more attractive - particularly if you do make calls to countries included as free calls in the International Ultimate pack…

Included calls:
- Local calls to standard fixed lines
- National Calls to standard fixed lines
- Calls to standard Australian mobiles

International Ultimate Calling Pack
- Unlimited calls to home phones in 35 countries
- Unlimited calls to mobile phones in 17 countries
- Discounted call rates to another 37 countries

Unlimited Telstra Air® until till 31st March 2017

Foxtel Entertainment Package included for 24 months
– over 45 channels including drama, lifestyle, docos, kids, news and more. Offer for new Foxtel from Telstra customers.
$0 Standard Installation (normally $100)
$0 iQ2 (normally $75)

Telstra TV included with 3 months free Netflix, Stan & Presto

    this is the similar to this

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 12/11/2016 - 23:12

      Yeah but the OP didn't mention the large bundle and it's Foxtel benefit. The link is the same, just one is for medium and the other large…

      For mine the large is a better deal, particularly if you need the 1000gb anyway…

      • RockyRaccoon on 13/11/2016 - 07:30

        So what speed are they offering with the NBN. I didn't see this in the links (although it is sunday morning so i might not be seeing that well)

          Most likely 25/5

        • ATangk on 13/11/2016 - 12:49

          @Agret:
          Unfortunately it will be this speed, unless you pay $20 (or $10) per month for speed boost too 100 down..

          depends on what type of NBN you have. FTTP would be up to 40mbps then optional speed boost to 100mbps

          FTTN will be 25mbps

        True, but the word "ethnic" doesn't really need to go in the title. I don't think it's racist but it's not exactly help in the title either.

        The description is fine as is though.

        • [Deactivated] on 13/11/2016 - 17:58

          Oh poor snowflake are you offended?

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 12/11/2016 - 23:30
      +8

      The title is not meant to offend.

      The fact is the bundle has been designed specifically to target a customer segment Telstra have identified.

      That segment is people with overseas relatives, often only 1st or 2nd generation Australians.

      That is a little lengthy to put in the title. If the mods agree the word "Ethnic" is offensive here they can change it, but I struggle to see how it is offensive.

      Do you hold views similar to Cindy Prior ??

        Just think it could have been worse! (using thesaurus.com and trying a few variations)

        or
        Telstra Whopping Native Wad
        or
        Telstra Humongous Ethnic Mass

        But I agree with you, calling it International does have a nice ring to it (pardon the pun) given Optus have World Saver (which by choice of words gives you some idea that its international based and going to save you money or help the environment by recycling your calls.

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 12/11/2016 - 23:48

      Does someone from an overseas background have an ethnic background?

      Is describing a group of such people as "ethnic" offensive if it is not done in a derogatory manner?

      If you think it's offensive complain the mods - if they agree they'll remove it. I won't object to that removal.
      My intention was not to offend, and any offence taken I apologise for.

      My experience with mods here is mixed, so I'll leave it up to them to decide, it really doesn't worry me either way.
      I could say some offensive things about some of the mods who I don't particularly like, but I won't. We don't need more offended people tonight.

      I would say if the word "ethnic" is offending you here, you must live a life full of offence - and I pity you for that if the offence is real.

      You may however make a lot of money by being continually offended, just sue everybody who offends you under Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act - it has made a lot of easily offended people in Australia very rich…

      I can think of plenty of words I don't like. Should we remove those all too?

    This is $10pm less and has foxtel plus telstra TV. Woah.

      If you have say a 2 year deal, and 18 months into it a new bundle comes along you like more, Telstra normally let you change to the new bundle as long as you recontract for 12 or 24 months (whatever the new bundle is).

          They can get it for free but requires approval from store manager. So my guess is whether they have met their target of signing for the month or not.

    I walked into a store a week ago and the rep offered me this same deal except for $99.

    I told him Optus phone plans were much cheaper and on top of that I get $20 discount on broadband packages. He offered me the same deal as this but at $99, and it didn't require me to get a mobile with Telstra. Telstra's mobile plans still not competitive.

    I still didn't take it though because I want to see how MyRepublic pans out.

    I have a Telstra bundle and can't understand why they don't have 13 numbers included. They charge 30 cents a call.

    My cheapo mobile plan includes unlimited phone calls in Aust including 13 numbers. So if I need to make a 13 call it's on the mobile.

    Serious question. Why do people still talk internationally over landlines? Majority of the world have better internet than we do, Skype is free, quality is better, uses next to no data . Is this for old people who haven't quite figured out the internet?

      Seriously "the majority of the world have better internet than we do".

      Not sure about you, but most of my friends in Thailand and The Philippines would kill for Internet at home at all - they rely on mobile phone Internet.

      You know most people in Asia dont have landlines - not because they dont want one, but because they can't afford one.

      Also Skype the software may be free, but the data isn't. And the quality is crap if either parties Internet is crap.
      I call rural Thailand a lot so I am speaking from experience, not out of my ass.

        Not saying it isn't true… But you're probably stretching it a little bit. Lots of reasonably wealthy countries in Asia, Thailand isn't too bad either.

      Because it requires both ends to have Skype, which isn't always practical.
      Having a grandma overseas, calling customers, calling people with bad/no internet, people without smartphones, and so on.

        Incorrect. Not if you have a plan of some sort.

        I pay like 35$ per year for 300 minutes each month ( never really exceed them) for calling my family on their home line abroad. Need to use the app still on my end but I can dial mobiles and home phone for a cheap price.

        Combined with Skype top up cards on Coles and Woolworth it's a good deal.

          I use WhatsApp, Hangouts, and Skype for calling overseas. Sometimes call quality is excellent and sounds better than a direct call, sometimes it's poor with latency or dropouts. Right now I still find a direct call is more consistent than an ip call, to some countries.

      We use Facetime, FB Messenger and recently Google Duo to call overseas most of the time. Having said that however, there are times when any of these aren't an option — like calling a business entity overseas. Some people in other countries are also on free data, or where internet is poor or worst, non-existent.

      My widfe uses it a lot to call her parents in China. They are old and don't use computers etc. So this plan is prefect for them as it is definitely much easier than using Skype.
