      Why didn't you show them the page in the current catalogue. I'm sure that would have alerted them to the offer.

    • tae on 20/02/2013 - 13:08

      Some of the staff has no idea, I told her I wanted Telstra prepaid starter pack, the orange color one. She went to search and came back with Yellow optus starter pack. I repeated my request, then she said no we don't sell telstra starter pack. I show her the pack on the catalogue. She went to search again, still said no, can't find it, must ran out. I walked around the corner and point at the starter pack. She then said. Oh, is that's where it is.. LOL!

      EDIT: just remembered there are woolworth express store out there(eg, in Southern Cross MELB). They do not carry the same catalogue as regular woolworth. At least that's what I was told.

      • vegemite on 20/02/2013 - 15:26

        This offer is not available at Express stores.

        • TommyGun on 20/02/2013 - 17:33

          If the store at southern cross is an express one then you are mistaken because I bought 3 from there this morning at 9 am.

        • tae on 21/02/2013 - 11:37

          for 10 bucks? That means the cashier was lying to me. He refused to sell them to me for dollars at 7am. :-(

    Cheap AFL SUBSCRIPTION or similar

    Step 1 . buy 4 cards
    Step 2. activate cards
    Step 3. transfer all credits by calling #100# and select CreditMe2U OR use foillowing web adress to merge accounts
    https://www.my.telstra.com.au/myaccount/register

    You can add $10 per day at a charge of 25 cents per transfer.

    Do this daily until you accumulate yout $90.

    Step 4. Purchase AFL $89.99 subscription for 1 year. ( You can get 1 month for $15 )

    N.B this is a good option for Telstra 3G ipads

    I hope this works. I did have an online chat with Telstra and have saved my transcript chat which verified the above.

    • BuyNow Think Later on 20/02/2013 - 12:57

      Luke, can we use above steps to buy a 16GB Nexus 4 with 14 pack of $30 credits?

  • chaffer on 21/02/2013 - 12:28

    Hey guys just a question.

    I used to be on a plan with telstra but then the 2 year contract plan finished and I called up to cancelled it.

    I just bought a prepaid sim card from woolies and when I activated it online I selected new customer and filled in all my personal information. Is this ok and nothing to worry about?

    Thanks guys

    • snappy1234 on 21/02/2013 - 14:40

      @ allan37

      If you had an account previously did you not have a logon already ?

      You may be able to logon to your old @telstra.com and add your new number (otherwise a call to the call centre might be in order)

        Hey snappy1234,

        Thanks for your reply.

    Hey guys, I'm on a Telstra Plan, can I just confirm:

    Can I swap to a prepaid sim, buy stuff from Google Play, then swap back and have these apps?
    And if I do this, how long will I have to use up the credit before it expires?

    • pg88 on 21/02/2013 - 15:20

      To my knowledge, if you physically change the SIM to buy these apps.. there should be nothing stopping you.

      Your phone has downloaded the apps so you should still have them

      I think one of the posts above said it was 60 day expiry? However I'm on encore and that's only 30 days

  • Dan_ on 21/02/2013 - 15:48

    So would it be wise to choose the long life offer since it gives you a 6 month credit expiry if you were purchasing this just to use at Google Play?

  • highon2str on 21/02/2013 - 18:22

    Never bought these prepaid sims before, I intend to get some to buy apps off the play store. So essentially I can grab a bunch of them and use them whenever I like? Sort of like an iTunes card? Is there no expiry or limit on the number of cards you can use on the one phone?

      Being a Telstra/Android n00b myself I would like to know answers to the above 2 questions as well.

      I have a Nexus 4 on Optus - can I just put in this sim, activate, then use it to buy $30 worth of apps under my Google Play Store account?

      I assume then it will be linked to my Play account and then I can dispose of the sim?

  • parker2004au on 22/02/2013 - 15:13

    I activated mine & everything but then when I go to buy something (reddit sync pro), I tap 'Bill my Telstra account' and then it says Verifying Account with mobile provider, and then it throws me an Error saying 'An error occured. Please try again'.

    • leonheart1 on 22/02/2013 - 19:03

      Gotta be using the SIM's 3G.

      • leyton01 on 22/02/2013 - 19:04

        Does this use data and get charged to the account?

        • leonheart1 on 22/02/2013 - 21:29

          I think it depends on which 'plan' you choose. The Encore one that I chose gave me $250 + 400MB for a month (which is probably worth quitting LC over considering Telstra's superior quality).

      • parker2004au on 22/02/2013 - 19:36

        No you don't - it was because my account wasn't fully activated (even after an hour), since I got them to do it manually via a phone call, its been working & haven't turned mobile data on at all.

  • Darron65 on 22/02/2013 - 18:57

    Ok we bought 7 of these so far. I just activated one and tried the CreditMe2U… it only let me transfer $10 to my wife's number and there was a $.25 charge for that. Why doesn't it let me move the whole $30 (or maybe $29 at least)?

    • leyton01 on 22/02/2013 - 18:59

      Welcome to Telstra.
      Where things are expensive and don't make sense.

      Other Telcos -
      Cheap and still don't make sense.

    • grog on 22/02/2013 - 19:10

      maximum $10 per day only then $9 makes $29 and a few cents leftover

      Did it recently

      • Darron65 on 22/02/2013 - 19:32

        Yes I see. I kept pushing buttons and got a 2nd $10 transfer but the 3rd attempt got a message saying I had reached my $10/24h limit. This through the My Pre-Paid app. Was hoping to hear going through the website would work better but now I won't waste any more time on it. Never used CreditMe2U before either. FYI, all this left $9.40 on the new account and I successfully transferred $9 to my own number just now. Hmm, what to do with $.15 credit?

        Not sure Telstra means what they say about limits but I'm happy.

  • wc on 22/02/2013 - 22:08

    I have a Nexus 7 3G, when I active the sim card is it possible to select expiry date more than 30 days ?

    • pfpozbargain on 22/02/2013 - 22:35

      Activate it on the long life (180 days) plan and then change your offer to simplicity to get better rates and keep the original expiry.

      • Dan_ on 22/02/2013 - 23:34

        How does one go about doing that?

        • pfpozbargain on 23/02/2013 - 00:16
          +1

          You'll find the right page by searching google for Telstra pre-paid activation, one of the steps of the activation is choosing your plan which would be 'long life', I think you need to call them if you want to port your old number across though.

          After it's activated you dial #100# and it will bring up a menu where you can change your offer, change it to simplicity.

        • Dan_ on 23/02/2013 - 00:25

          And you're sure it retains the 6 month expiry? That seems pretty good.

        • pfpozbargain on 23/02/2013 - 06:17

          Yes, I do this.

  • kskh954 on 24/02/2013 - 21:44
