This is for current or new Telstra customers only

I got this deal today from Telstra. I know this may not be for everyone. $15/month over 2 years =$360 and you get the sim to share data so no extra data purchases required. I was told in 12 months I could also recontract to a new tablet plan for $149 which is nice to know - This involves handing in the old tablet in good condition.

Get a new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.5 for just $10/mth (was $14/mth) when you add a $5/mth Data Share SIM Plan to your current Mobile Accelerate Plan, Every Day Connect Plan or Go Mobile Plan and stay connected for 24 months. Min cost: $360 for Data Share SIM and tablet."

To get the most out of your data while enjoying a bigger screen at home or away, why not share your data between your mobile with a tablet? For a limited time, you can get a new Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 for just $10/mth when you add a $5/mth Data Share SIM Plan to your current mobile plan and stay connected for 24 months (min cost $360). That’s a nice deal considering the recommended retail price for a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 alone is $720.

    You must be using Telstra at the moment.

      Correct. Sorry ill add that to the description

      Telstra hasn't locked post paid phones in a long time; prepaid phones are locked iirc.

    My current plan with Telstra expires in about a year. What happens then?

    • [Deactivated] on 14/05/2015 - 16:53

      Good point. I guess you could continue to pay the $15 a month until the 2 years is up and use a sim card from another Telco. Still works out pretty good price wise.

    • PVA on 14/05/2015 - 18:56

      probably locked in for an extra year.

    • AssociatedONEMariachi @ Telstra on 18/05/2015 - 09:35

      The data share sim will only be able to exist on your account as long as there is eligible mobile on the account, if you remove the mobile it will cause the data share sim to cancel and give you early termination fees. Roughly $30 x months remaining.

  • eug on 14/05/2015 - 16:42

    When you recontract to a new plan in a years' time, I assume it'll be at the full price, whatever that will be?

    • [Deactivated] on 14/05/2015 - 16:55

      Do you mean to upgrade your tablet? Yes, you will pay $149 one off fee and whatever the new tablet plan is.

          @Ahan: The most recent one bundled with iPhone5 excess stock (a year and a bit ago) was deleted as a deal at Telstra's request and moved to the forums.

          @Lukian:
          That was almost two years ago. I bought two from that deal. Both my wife and I are now on this plan thanks to that…

    • eug on 14/05/2015 - 17:26

      The sim that comes with this deal is an add-on to your existing Telstra mobile account. It shares the quota from that account.

    • PVA on 14/05/2015 - 18:58

      none, it uses the data quota from another phone account you have (shared data quota)

    Is this only eligible plans? I'm uncertain one could add a data-share SIM to legacy plans.

    Edit: Yes it is, original post should state:

    "Get a new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.5 for just $10/mth (was $14/mth) when you add a $5/mth Data Share SIM Plan to your current Mobile Accelerate Plan, Every Day Connect Plan or Go Mobile Plan and stay connected for 24 months. Min cost: $360 for Data Share SIM and tablet."

    The actual retail price of this tablet is only $547 (officeworks) to $599.
    http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/samsung-gal…
    But still a very good deal.

    • Lukian on 14/05/2015 - 17:43

      At that odd price, I'd guess officeworks are avoiding price match promises against Big W (who loves to end in 8s) or another retailer like JB HiFi.

    • [Deactivated] on 14/05/2015 - 18:09

      That's for the wifi version but this deal is for a 4g cellular which is actually more expensive.

    • twocsies on 14/05/2015 - 18:51

      Officeworks doesn't sell the 4G version, but it usually costs something like $100 more.

      It is available for new customers, you just need to have an eligible phone plan in order to get it. It works as a data share sim attached to a phone plan. If you get a new mobile plan you can get one.

    This is a great price for this tablet. Thanks for the heads up. For $15 a month I'll give one a go and sell if it's not what I need. Cheers OP.

  • djfish31 on 14/05/2015 - 17:58

    Think you may have it the wrong way around. I got this last month and its a $10 data sim plus $5 device payment. Also if you order it on line you might be able to get some extra credit :)

    • eug on 14/05/2015 - 18:16

      Would they actually give extra credit on this deal in particular?

    • AssociatedONEMariachi @ Telstra on 18/05/2015 - 09:26

      That's the old way of it, The data share sims used to be $10, so it was $5 more for the tablet, with the new mobile plans that started last Tuesday, they changed the cost of the data share sim to just $5, and made the tablet $10 extra.

  • Roary on 14/05/2015 - 18:07

    Can confirm that this deal is legit. It is also available for new connecting or porting customers when signing up to an eligible plan in store, not just existing. Sign up in store to avoid the delivery charge of $9.95. As others have mentioned the Tablets RRP is $720, and you only pay $360 over 24mths ($15/Month) Also the Data share sim adds 100mb to your shared data allowance. It's a bargain!

    • [Deactivated] on 14/05/2015 - 19:16

        Sorry not sure. Telstra are very strict on contracts so there is probably no quick or cheap way.

      • AssociatedJW3B @ Telstra on 14/05/2015 - 20:33

        Cheapest way would be to sign up for a BYO plan (smallest $35/Month) and then adding the $15 Data share sim with the Tab S 10.5, Total being $50/Month with $300 Calls Unlimited SMS and 600MB Shared data.

        • wtfnodeal on 14/05/2015 - 20:37
          -5

          600mb isn't enough for a mobile phone itself let alone to share with the tablet.

          @wtfnodeal: Thats the cheapest way as you asked, not necessarily the best value way.

        • ctrlaltdel on 14/05/2015 - 22:05

          isn't it cheaper to get $29 / month on the S plan for a new Telstra customer?

          @ctrlaltdel: I see what you mean. If someone wants the tablet, they can get it with the $29/month plan, which is cheaper because they don't need to buy anything else.

  • chromium on 14/05/2015 - 18:45

    Nice price, but I'm on prepaid. I've picked up a Tab Pro 10.1 for $338 on sale a few months ago. 4G and OLED would be nice though

  • rakeycakey on 14/05/2015 - 18:54

    As I commented above, it seems easy enough to get out of the 9.95 shipping fee. I just asked for it to be waived.
    Be careful however as I had a bonus 1GB on my data and I was told it won't be removed, but upon checking on 24/7 it's now no-longer showing. I am starting another chat session now.

  • PVA on 14/05/2015 - 19:04

    do these tablets work with out a sim (I dont want it using my data, wifi is fine). Can I not install the share sim and the tablet will work fine or will it be like a mobile and not function until an active sim is installed?

  • ethanol on 14/05/2015 - 20:10

    Can you port in to a post-paid month-month plan, get this deal & then cancel and pay off the $360 minimum?

    • AssociatedJW3B @ Telstra on 14/05/2015 - 20:25

      Nope. The Device payment is contracted for 24mths, and you only receive the discount if you stayconnected for 24mths (making it $15/Month). If you Disconnect you will be charged the full device RRP of $720.

      • ezza on 14/05/2015 - 20:51

        i'm sure you don't.. i confirmed its $360 total on live chat before i ordered… if you connect a data share and even cancel that (without touching your main mobile plan). i don't think this has been set up like the plans where the cost of handsets are included only if you continue and not cancel.

        I confirmed this only because i asked what happens if i upgrade my main mobile later down the path (before this plan comes to 24 months)

        • AssociatedJW3B @ Telstra on 14/05/2015 - 21:07

          Your data share sim device payment contract runs separate to your main mobile contract, you can upgrade your mobile without affecting the Data share sim, so what they told you is correct.

          Yes total cost is $360 ($15x24) IF you stayconnected for 24 months, if you cancel the data share sim early, you lose the device discount and ETC's will be the device RRP divided by how many months left on contract, this is how all DPC (Device payment contracts) work.

          I have this same offer as Telstra staff and it states this in the Data share sim paperwork, feel free to check this for yourself once you receive it.

        • ezza on 14/05/2015 - 21:09

          @JW3B:
          I personally don't mind and won't be cancelling anytime before the 24 months. I'm quoting what the live chat person told me upon sale.

        • tds on 14/05/2015 - 21:22

          @JW3B: Can you tell me what happens if you finish up your mobile plan down the track and maybe port out?

        • ezza on 14/05/2015 - 21:39

          @tds:

          I think this answers your question from JW3B:
          Yes total cost is $360 ($15x24) IF you stayconnected for 24 months, if you cancel the data share sim early, you lose the device discount and ETC's will be the device RRP divided by how many months left on contract, this is how all DPC (Device payment contracts) work.

          ie = you pay $720 / 24 x months remaining of contract.

    • wtfnodeal on 14/05/2015 - 20:30

      You better off throw the sim into the bin and pretend you pay the tablet by 24 months instalments
      edit: I see you might want to terminate the eligible plan earlier instead of locked for another 24 months.

  • bxpressiv on 14/05/2015 - 20:25
