    would be a good deal, if they have the Sony handset :)

    Might be a great deal for some if you don't use much data per month but 2gb a month can be used up very quickly these days .
    $10 charge per gb is quite rich indeed.

    My Telstra pre paid costs me $50 per month and I receive 3.8gb from that $50.

    Would cost me around $65 per month if I was to changeover with my usual data expenditure.

    It may get me a new phone and I might be able to sell it to make around $500 but over 24 months on this plan that basically puts me where I am already ,on pre paid with no contract.

    Pretty handy deal if you use under 2gb a month but for me I'd rather my current pre paid offer.

    arghhhh! must refrain :( although I do really like the S5 my S4 is still running strong, have two as one had a broken screen and was replaced by insurance then I had the original one fixed anyway.

    work provides a plan which is unlimited calls + 6gb data on Telstra. my personal plan runs out next month and I was going to put it on a $20 boost prepaid, $250 calls + 1gb data.

    overall cost for 24 months on boost = $480

    overall cost for 24 on this plan = $1,080

    best case scenario that I sell the phone for $500 - ebay fees = $450, I'll still be paying $630 over 24 months albeit I get a bit more data and calls.

    so I will have to pay $150 more over 24 months for data and calls I wont use OR $600 more for a new phone (which sells for $500) and a bit more data and calls I dont need.

  • kogi on 19/06/2015 - 15:42

    !@#$%^&%&, you can add a $40 unlimited call share sim to this

    • malouphix on 19/06/2015 - 15:49

      How does this work?

    • busterau on 19/06/2015 - 15:53
      +1

      So this would be beneficial for a family wanting two mobiles.

      Get the first phone for $45 as per this deal.

      Add a $40 share sim which also entitles you to either a S5 or M8 as well (ends 29/06). Thus Second service for $5 per month less than first.

      Now if you sign up for a $40 share sim before 3rd August you are entitled to $100 welcome credit.

        • oz-stef on 19/06/2015 - 17:37

          Via Telstra Live chat just now:

          "With our $40 Data share SIM, you can share your monthly data allowances with any Mobile phone, as well as get unlimited Calls, SMS and MMS every month! The $100 Welcome Credit will be automatically applied to your third Telstra bill."

          And a follow up by me: "So that'd work well for the wifes phone, we share data and calls?"

          Telstra: "Yes, it will work with your wife's phone."

  • krazynayba on 19/06/2015 - 15:43

    Wanted to find out if I could switch from my current plan ($82 a month, 2.5gb data, $600 calls unlimited texts) to this but they said you can't directly. Asked if I could hypothetically get a prepaid sim and port my postpaid number over, then go from that to the $45 plan. The staff on their 24x7 Chat said that if I did that I'd need to be on prepaid for at least 6 months. Dang :(

    • adventurouslion on 19/06/2015 - 16:51
      +1

      You pay $82 per month for only 2.5 gb and $600 in calls??

      I'd find a better deal ASAP if I were you!

      I pay $50 a month on pre paid,for that I get $50 credit ,$950 in calls and 800mb. With the $50 credit I buy 3gb of data for $49.
      So I basically get 3.8gb data and $950 in calls for $50 a month on no contract.

      • stringbean402 on 19/06/2015 - 17:05

        lol… They have a phone included for $82/month… hence the extra $32 over the cost of pre-paid.

        But this deal is awesome !… best of both worlds.

      • aec on 19/06/2015 - 17:06

        is it with Telstra?

        why would they put a field asking if you are from another supplier then? you also have to tick the box that gives them permission to port your number from another supplier. the initial screen where it says for pre-paid customers is very misleading.

        here is the full plan details:

        • thehulk1969 on 19/06/2015 - 15:58

          hangon just finishing the chat…basically, it is a targeted offer but seeing we can see it on the web then it could be all good.

  • Turd on 19/06/2015 - 15:56

    I think it is targeted. Because the URL is different to the offer I got.

    Different RRID=

    Yes Im currently using Telstra PrePaid. I pay $20 a month for 700MB of data. Im got $140 in credit remain. I hardly make calls.

    I just spent about 10 minutes on a online chat with telstra, and the rep confirmed that you can port in from another carrier and get this deal.

  • webtherapist on 19/06/2015 - 16:00

    • ensanguined on 19/06/2015 - 16:03

      No way! Seems dodgy lol. I actually changed the codes in the URL to a random number thinking it would stop my order being blocked due to duplication with someone else's previous order somehow, but at least I got around this cashrewards technique then! Does the OP have some explaining to do?

      It has nothing to do with Cashrewards.

    • watson4884 on 19/06/2015 - 16:16

      No fees if you port the numbers to Telstra on pre paid/month to month plans
      Just mindful of your plan's charging periods(ie. when is the new"month"starts)

    • tobi3421 on 19/06/2015 - 16:40

      if you're not locked into a contract, you can definitely port your number over without any extra fees

    Plan on selling the S5 when it arrives. I have too many phones.

  • eecchhoo on 19/06/2015 - 16:13

    what happen after 24 months? keep paying $45? or is there any reduced cost for the plan?

    • Turd on 19/06/2015 - 16:14

      After 24 months you get on a new better plan or churn to another provider

    • giles on 19/06/2015 - 18:55

      Yep, it's per kB, at least until you use up your allowance—at which point it's charged per GB.

  • gryphn on 19/06/2015 - 16:23

    So I got the email and thought what the hell as I'm usually spending $30 and $50 alternating months on prepaid encore. Get to submit the order and get a message "Something is wrong with the online shop" and bombs out.

    Successfully got the M8

  • ezza on 19/06/2015 - 16:28

    Wanna make it a $60 p/month plan with a tablet?

    Get this deal in this post, then add this:
    https://www.telstra.com.au/latest-offers/treat-yourself?RRID…
    Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 - $5 data share Sim + $10 device payment = $15 extra p/month
    (they were doing the Samsung s 10.5 for this price but it seems to have finished now)

    Its a 4g tablet, you get an extra 100mb, meaning you share 2.1Gb between the mobile & tablet!

    I suppose you do this after you get your $45 mobile plan as there probably won't be an option to add tablet during online sign up.

  • congo on 19/06/2015 - 16:28

    • Thaos on 19/06/2015 - 17:30

      Personally I wouldn't. The n5 is already a great phone. But I would get this just for the plan and try and sell the phone. Judging by the comments it seems that many others share this intention.

    I'm with telechoice $20/month 1GB, using a Galaxy S5 (with problems).

    I spoke to one of the sales rep there. He did start of bu saying you have to be a T prepaid customer to take advantage of the offer. I told him i was, which i am but i want to port a more regular used number across from another provider. He said can't do it online but if i call customer service they can change the number for me. I told him the option is available on the online sign up form and copied the porting option. He came back to me saying to go ahead and use that option. He stayed with me while the order went through. Bloody F… i forgot to copy the transcipt. I never got any email transcript.

This gives 8gb data and unlimited calls and SMS. Data can be shared with a data Sim for my iPad. Bought a HTC one m8 in March!

    If you are with Vodafone they seem happy to match the deal. Received the same offer with Vodafone with a few other incentives. I'm happy with Vodafone so didn't see the need to change to Telstra. But great deal either way.
