      They can. But they have a limit on how many plans they can get 25% off - 5 is the limit and apparently cannot clash with their other perks such as the Staff Cap plans etc. You'll have to be "very" friendly with an employee to get them to sign off on your 25% discount.

    • AssociatedThundaja @ Telstra on 23/05/2017 - 12:10

      There is a misconception here about how the 25% off works.
      It is not a promo that can be added to any account or during an order.

      It is a flag set on the Telstra employee's own billing accounts which triggers a 25% off for eligible services on that account.

      Adding the flag IS audited. Only eligible Telstra staff verified through an internal process can have it added and there is a specialised team that does it. Most staff members are blocked from applying it anyway. If you found one that could, the action would be promptly flagged and they would be terminated for fraud.

      TL;DR: Unless you are best-buds with a staff member and they are willing to assume legal responsibility of your service by adding it to their discounted account, you will not get the 25% off.

        Is it fair to say though that this plan is a sign of things to come?
        Telstra seem happy to offer this, which actually beats Voda for price and data, a first in my view?

  • qtmai on 23/05/2017 - 11:30

    If only they offer 128gb iPhone 7

  • MELso on 23/05/2017 - 11:35

    Normally $143 per month for the equivalent retail offer, so a decent saving.

    (Mind you, as I only use ~1GB, I'm hanging on to my old Telstra staff cap from the last family and friends deal. With a 2GB data pack bolted on, its $25 per month for unlimited national calls and 3GB of data. Have just bought a prepaid iPhone SE from Telstra for $449 and unlocked it so still cheaper than this…)

  • llamaesque on 23/05/2017 - 11:39

    FYI even if you legitimately know a Telstra staff member, the offer is for port-ins and new connections only. If you have an existing Telstra service, recontracts are ineligible.

      Gunna call shenanigans on this.
      Was in contract on another BYO plan and didn't have any issues ordering online. Delivered today.

      Managed to somehow get 25GB, plus a bonus 5GB, plus carry over my old loyalty discount as well.

      So I'm now on contract with 30GB for only $70, even cheaper than the Optus Frenzy deal last week.

      • ricochet on 25/05/2017 - 15:21

        When ordering online you get two options with this deal:
        1. I want to bring my mobile number from another carrier
        2. I want a new mobile number with this purchase

        Which of these did you select with your order to maintain an existing Telstra BYO plan number and discounts?

        • Wilkshake on 25/05/2017 - 15:28

          Option C - I am an existing Telstra mobile customer and want to keep my mobile number

        • ricochet on 25/05/2017 - 15:32

          Option C must involve making a phone call or a different means of applying then, as it does not exist on the online application form as linked from this post…

          @plague69: I dont think so. During the order process, it had the L $90 plan and phone at the top.

          And given I've got the phone in my hand right now would add to that.

          @Wilkshake: Lucky guy. Envy u… I'm gonna jump through a few hoops and try to get it.

          Did you call at all or just go through the online form? Because I called and told me that even if I wanted to change to a non-staff/friends plan my $20/mo discount will be forfeit.

          @plague69: Did a LiveChat a few weeks ago to confirm if I recontracted to an S8 (pre-release) that my loyalty bonus was going to carry over. Was going to use that as leverage if I had to, but didn't need to.

          Never spoke to anyone in store or via phone, but yrmv. Just did the online form and got lucky to keep my number.

          After I received the phone, LiveChated again and confirmed that the $20 discount had carried over. Waiting for my first bill to see if it's the last chase up I have to do

      • plague69 on 01/06/2017 - 17:32

        Confirmed working. Just tried until it showed the option. Not sure if my discount will carry on. But bonus data was not there for me anymore. Just 25GB now

      Probably an iPhone. People seem less concerned about buying a used iPhone than others. Maybe that's testament to Apples ability to lock down the phone so the buyer knows what they're getting, or maybe it's just the sort of people who want an iPhone but can't afford retail.

      I sort of agree. There are many ways to justify this deal. The worst way is to overvalue the phone. The attraction of this deal is 25gb/mth. However this deal is not for me.

      I see the way that many people crunch the numbers to see the value of this deal, much like the woolie's deal. When I Just look at the numbers being crunched under a magnifying glass, I cannot disagree. It makes perfect sense that it is a DEAL! GET IT. However when I step back and look at the bigger picture, it is a little less attractive.

          This offer is not eligible for the $10 port in credit. If the staff member has put it on for you, you will be able to keep it, however they will definitely be flagged and their manager notified.

          It doesn't matter what the manager says. Use of that offer is audited. As a staff member, her account will have been flagged.

          You managed to get that offer. Genuinely, good job. My original comment served so that the rest of community would not follow as this is not normal practice.

          The last thing staff members need is someone going off at them over a discount that they are not allowed to use because they read online about someone else getting it due to another consultant not following process. Please don't put them in that position. It has been communicated internally that additional discounts are not to be applied with this offer.

          I don't know why I'm being downvoted over my original comment.

          I went in there and said I wanted to add another number to my account. I asked about this offer and she said yes I can apply for it and she offered the $10 discount. She checked with the manager who said yes we can apply it.

          My other 6 services all have had a $10 discount applied to them again offered by the store when I signed up last year. 10gb for $40 with unlimited calls and SMS.

          I don't see any harm in asking for a discount. Certainly wouldn't condone going off at them but no harm in asking.

      Probably with throttling in some form

    • Wolfie on 24/05/2017 - 13:03

      It wouldn't be true unlimited, USA carriers will heavy throttling you around 20-25GB mark…Same will happen here if any is released. As far as Telstra's perspective, all I can see happening is Telstra rebrand this plan as unlimited with throttling after 25GB.

      Although anyone correct me if I am wrong, didn't ACCC outlawed unlimited plan that has throttling in it?

        Unlimited just means no extra charge right? Unlimited quantity, never about speed. Not sure if ACCC has a leg to stand on here.

    As a Telstra thing, this is the cheapest deal imo I have ever seen. Now Vodafone is doing 25GB@$100pm no phone 24 months. This is what, TELSTRA! Jumping from Vodafone atm…..

    Do Telstra employees still get 20% discount on all plans or has it increased?

    • srhardy on 31/05/2017 - 16:56

      25%

      • NEEDHELP on 03/06/2017 - 16:46

        Is there any other additional discounts or freebies? Some other companies I think have free streaming services or a certain amount deducted from their plans instead of a percentage.

    What about for former PMG/Telecom staff members?

  • Economic on 23/05/2017 - 19:58

    My order was cancelled. I was off contract and wanted to take up this offer. I guess some are luckier than others. Tomorrow I tackle disconnections

    • realfancyman on 23/05/2017 - 23:20

      You need to port your number out to Optus and then back in.

      • Economic on 24/05/2017 - 10:01

        If I port out and back in, how long will that take. Assume I port to Optus, wait a day, can I then port back to Telstra straight away?

        • realfancyman on 24/05/2017 - 11:17

          Ports are pretty much instantaneous now. When I ported my number from Telstra to Optus it was under 10 minutes before it was active with the new number. Porting back took about 20 minutes.

          I know it's not your job to tell me exactly how.to do this, but is the cheapest port out, port in using the Optus $2 per day option and then Telstra new application?

          The Mrs would chop my kernackers off if she lost service.more than a day. I don't want to be with Optus for more than a minute if I have to

        • neil aus on 24/05/2017 - 18:10

          @Economic: port early in a business day, weekends can be slower

        • plague69 on 27/05/2017 - 15:29

          @Economic: do they still have the $2/day option?

  • [Deactivated] on 23/05/2017 - 22:12

    interesting

  • alxr0101 on 24/05/2017 - 06:42

    Confused….It's a "BYO" plan…With handset….

  • srhardy on 24/05/2017 - 08:01

    You can the $90 BYO on a 12 month contract for $70 with 25gb

    probably a better deal to get 24month contract and the S8
