          It's definitely not MUCH better. The employee plan is $40 for unlimted calls/txt/mms and 5gb data. Most choices of phone are free on this or up to about $7ish extra. This is still a good plan.

        • bchliu on 24/05/2017 - 09:44

      The first two paragraphs tell you the deal:

      Telstra staff, family and friends can choose from a Samsung Galaxy S8, iPhone 7 (32GB) or Pixel (32GB) with no additional handset payments – and get a massive 25GB – when they take up a new $90 Go Mobile Plus BYO plan for 24 months.

      Eligible Telstra employees are further rewarded with a 25% staff discount – reducing the cost of the plan to just $67.50 per month. If you haven’t applied for your staff discount, visit My Rewards to submit your application form.

      It seems the S8 is the no-brainer in this deal vs the 32GB Pixel.

      Also, under Terms and Conditions:

      You must not share the offer on social media or the Internet.

        I disagree, the I am currently holding on to both of these phones and there's just something about the pixel that's just better.
        It's a much smoother experience better bang for buck.
        Only issue I'd say is 32gb and lack of any IP rating.

          It wasn't a general Pixel vs S8 comment, as I'd prefer a Pixel over a S8, but specifically comparing these two models.

          +3

          Well the phone is still going for around $1199 out right so effectively paying $961 for the 24mth for the plan. $4005 per mth isn't bad for 25GB data

          If you were to sell your phone for around $1000, That would be $48.33 per mth which is still pretty cheap for 25GB of data if you ask me.

          @ProjectZero: And if you can get your Telstra friend/family member to sign up for you under their account, you can get 25% off.

          $2160 over 24 months
          -25% = $1620
          -$1000 for the phone = $620 for the service, after discount, minus value of phone

          Which comes to $25.83 per month, for unlimited national and 25 GB of data.

          @ProjectZero: You just need to port your number out to Optus for example, then port it back in on this new plan.

        • ONEMariachi on 24/05/2017 - 09:44

          @ProjectZero: If you are out of contract, port your number to an optus prepaid first then go and get the deal. We used to do it for customers all the time to get them $10 off/month port in credits.

    • klaw81 on 23/05/2017 - 10:03

      Plenty? 32GB is heaps enough for my usage. It's pretty easy to offload music and photos to the cloud if you're running low.

      If you're worried, the S8 is the 64GB version and also has SD card expansion for up to an extra 256GB.

        Can't put Spotify music on the cloud. But with 25GB I guess you can just stream.

          @AncientWisdom:

          Not on the phones cloud services. I worded that wrong. The point I was trying to make is 32GB isn't much when you download Spotify playlists to your phone. But with 25GB you can just stream it.

        +3

        I disagree.

        The curved edge isn't my favourite design, the dual camera (one being wide angle), the fingerprint reader being in the right spot, the software being less cumbersome (and subsequently less laggy)

        And last, but certainly not least, it's rated to milspec and can take a beating. It's designed to withstand being dropped and whatnot. It's a properly durable phone.

        • ProjectZero on 24/05/2017 - 11:08
          +1

          the fingerprint reader being in the right spot, the software being less cumbersome (and subsequently less laggy)

          These two really is subjective though, as a S8+ owner, my experience is that the fingerprint scanner, whilst not in the traditional location, is not really an issue as your fingers would normally rest there anyway when you unlock the phone and I'm talking about a bigger phone than the S8. If you're having second thoughts because of the location of the fingerprint scanner, I'd suggest visiting a store to check out the phone first.

          As for the software, I used to agree with you, but having used mine since launch, I've had no real performance issues. If anything, it seems there are a few apps that I use that isn't optimised well which causes the app to slow down and not really the fault of the phone. Though again, this is very subjective and not really easily solved so give the phone a go before deciding is the best course of action.

    • bchliu on 23/05/2017 - 14:35
      +3

      Pretty sure you can sell the S8 and get the G6 without losing a cent (maybe even a slight profit).

      Get real. YouTube takes too much data.

      Medium (or standard definition), which requires 0.7GB per hour
      High, which requires approximately 3GB (HD) to 7GB (Ultra HD) per hour
      http://mindaptiv.com/how-much-data-does-youtube-use/

      In one month, 25GB can only provide around 30 hours of SD quality YouTube (looks garbage), or less than 10 hours of HD. Assuming you want to watch in HD, less than 20 minutes a day at the park.

      That's why Telstra provides unmetered services like Apple Music and AFL/NRL, because regular usage of streaming services is not realistic even at 25GB, even though Telstra may have ample capacity. I assume Apple has negotiated with Telstra to enable it.

    The device is free. Generally the device requires you to make some repayment but it's been given away for free as a bonus to the byo plan. You could also buy the exact same BYO plan for the same price without the device

    • POSITIVEVIBESONLY on 23/05/2017 - 11:01

      It just means there's $0 repayments on top of the $90 plan per month, but essentially you have to be locked into a 24 month contract with telstra or you'll be paying off the remainder of phone when you cancel.

      I don't understand the joke. What's the terms and conditions that prevents unfriending?

        I was laughing when I read his comment and was still smiling while reading yours. Needless to say, I felt like shit halfway through reading yours. Thanks mate!

          Noooo. I'm so sorry to make you feel bad! I was also laughing but I didn't know why. Is it about the unfriending?

    Wow. Great deal. If they gave unmetered Google Music I'd jump.

    https://www.telstra.com.au/applemusic - that page is a little confusing. Do they give you unmetered data as long as your with them or for only 6 months?

      Unmetered the whole time….only 6 months free then you have to pay (don't forget if new member you also get 3 months trial for 99c)

      This looks like a stock push through in time for June 30 EOFY…as always if you're happy to wait there will always be a new release around the corner!!
