          @dom03:

          Throwing money away. Not a true ozbargainer.

    • DoubleOver on 20/06/2015 - 13:19

      It's an automated response to a form being lodged! It's just acknowledging that you've submitted a form. Read it. Good luck with your 'demand'. Telstra don't have to honor antything prior to eligibility checks being done.

  • luvpsi on 19/06/2015 - 21:04

    I ordered 2, one HTC one Samsung. The HTC got sent out, for the Samsung I only got the confirmation email and nothing else yet..

  • Economic on 19/06/2015 - 21:10

    Hi All, I ordered this online earlier today and I have had the confirmation and shipping confirmation.
    I was paying $50/month for $500 of calls and 1.5gig of data.

    Now I will be paying $45/month, unlimited calls and 2gig of data and with a cracker of a phone.

    I was looking to get the note4 and was looking at around $80/month and still had a cap with it.

    Could someone please let me know if you go on contract this plan will only be for 24mths or will it continue indefinitely until I change the plan?

    As far as I am concerned I'm keeping this baby forever!

    • Steptoe on 20/06/2015 - 14:11

      On same plan for the last 5 years (2 year contract)

  • luvpsi on 19/06/2015 - 21:13

    Has anyone received confirmation email and then cancellation notice? Or was it cancellation notice straight away??

  • DiscoJango on 19/06/2015 - 21:37

    checked the online startrack portal and it says my parcel was "Received at StarTrack Location for processing" at 4:57pm Preston CLOC, so im assuming this means my transaction was approved (porting my number from vodafone, out of contract)

    find out on monday i guess :D

    any i think that anyone that got a "cancellation" email was more that they filled out their details incorrectly, or telstra have issues verifying them\their current mobile provider etc

  • avitherock on 19/06/2015 - 22:14

    I got email abt activation of email bill.. Anyone else got that?

    • Lets Go Brandon on 19/06/2015 - 22:15

    • cooleagles on 20/06/2015 - 07:05

      I got one just before midnight. Fingers and toes crossed. This is a pretty sweet deal.

      qq830821 when did you make the purchase and are you with Telstra prepaid?

  • izzypop08 on 20/06/2015 - 12:11

    If you really want this deal, go get yourself a $2 prepaid telstra sim, activate it and wait for it to comeback (I was told this morning it will back), but you need to be a prepaid customer. That is my plan and imo worth the $2 outlay, even if it doesn't go to plan.

    • cooleagles on 20/06/2015 - 12:40

      That's what I'll be doing should my order get cancelled.

    • d123 on 20/06/2015 - 16:02

      Hi izzypop08, if I do that can I later transfer my current mobile number (currently with another provider) over to the Telstra plan? Is there a cost or any other issues with doing that? Thanks in advance.

      • izzypop08 on 20/06/2015 - 23:14

        I have no idea if this is possible, but it is my plan to try to doexactly that if the deal ever comes back, the Telstra rep assured me that it would be back sometime in the next few days.

    Hey, I ordered the s5 around 430pm yesterday. Got the order email but no others. called the number this morning, they told me they sent around an email at 8pm yesterday asking for more details like some of you guys. They also said it was a targeted offer, but said I could still get it if I went to a Telstra shop and gave them 3 forms of ID, payslips and rental lease/home bills. But they won't really look at it until Monday anyway. So I will go do that Monday morning. I'm highly doubtful it will work. I was porting from Telechoice (24 month contract with a $197 fee for coming off contract) but the plan is so worth it.

    • MickeyG on 20/06/2015 - 14:44

      I ordered an S5 just before 6:00pm yesterday and, like you, received an order confirmation email and nothing else so I called them just now on 1300 131 113 and the guy told me that my order has been processed and that I should expect an email on Monday with a tracking number. Looking good so far…

  • bigoldtoo on 20/06/2015 - 17:01

    I ordered a galaxy s5 around 4pm yesterday. Received an order confirmation email then an email about activation of email bill with an account number. Called them on the 1300 number this morning, got told that the order was pending and was asked to call 1800 096 566 for more info. Hopefully the order will go through.

  • regenade on 20/06/2015 - 18:45

    Anybody got cashrewards $150 tracked successfully, please note this is a Go Mobile Plan and treated as a 24 Months contract plan, so should be eligible. Please post if the offer has tracked successfully for anyone in cashrwards.

    • andyman1908 on 20/06/2015 - 21:38

      Obvious question but maybe u provided some incorrect information?

      • [Deactivated] on 20/06/2015 - 21:49

        I use Google chrome auto fill and it has never let me down by entering false info. It seems that the deal no longer exists in any shape or form. I'll give them a ring tomorrow to find out what the issue was.

        I was attempting to port my Boost number across.

  • angers on 20/06/2015 - 23:59

    General question about Telstra - if you have a pre-paid service and you go for this offer (if it comes back) at a later stage can you transfer your post paid number across if you what to use that number going forward?

  • [Deactivated] on 21/06/2015 - 05:54

    I wonder if new stock will become available?

    • jassssone on 21/06/2015 - 06:08

      If u click mobiles on plan page, it shows m8 and s5 are all in stock for next day delivery, so Telstra just don't want to let us sign this offer.

      • [Deactivated] on 21/06/2015 - 06:33

        What is it with Telstra? Drip feed a few decent deals to make us think they're competitive?

        • DiscoJango on 21/06/2015 - 09:41

          pretty much. their market share has grown hugely over the past few years, with a more customer focused approach. look at what this "small" has done, its already caused much discussion, and most likely stolen quite a few customers from their competitors (myself included)

          its like when coles drastically reduce one item in their store, yes they will make a loss on it, but the fact that you are in their store, and will potentially look at/buy other items, is worth it.

          @kamkam: No… As stated multiple times, this was supposed to be a targeted offer to select prepaid clients.

    Freaking ozbargained!
    I got the email on Thursday and was going to put an order through on the weekend after asking the missus what she wanted.
    Tried to do it online, out of stock….called up and they said wait for stock and then finally went in store and they couldn't do it!

    • luztra on 21/06/2015 - 15:52

      Partner got the email, he got me to go online to do the deal, but was no longer available. He went on to live chat, who said they could not help, went to the local Telstra store who said the promotion is not available in store.

      • cooleagles on 21/06/2015 - 16:54

        Live chat said they deal will be back up next week apparently. Keep a close eye on it.

        • luztra on 22/06/2015 - 13:21

          Thanks for that.

  • DiscoJango on 21/06/2015 - 16:54

      They shouldn't have given the option for ports or new numbers on the form then …

  • g1 on 21/06/2015 - 17:10

    Had a conversation with Telstra (summary):
    Offers were sent via email or SMS. How did you find out about the order?
    Orders are being cancelled for those customers who did not get an invitation.

  • man0k on 21/06/2015 - 17:52

    I didn't get sent an email, but for those that did i was provided with following information from live chat.
    the person i was chatting with, went and double checked with an online consultant and came back with following response

    Edelle:
    because as per the consultant that I have spoken with, this is an invitation promo. And if the email came from Telstra, then all you have to do is to click on the link provided on the said email and you will be routed to a new page where in you can provide your credentials for the upgrade of your pre to post."

    So would anyone who actually got the email confirm this is the case? or does it actually say out of stock for you

  • abacus on 21/06/2015 - 18:06

    I have always been mystified by Telstra's 'unwillingness' to be competitive.

    TPG, Exetel etc provides a "unlimited" home phone and internet bundle from Telstra that Telstra charges about two to three times the price for, or which they don't even provide.

    Boost provides a mobile phone service from Telstra that Telstra charges two to three times the price for.

    I realize TPG and Boost are basically retailing from wholesaler Telstra, but why can't Telstra retail and provide a similar product at a similar price?

    Now it seems Telstra doesn't want to get new customers on 24 month contracts, (if they were not targeted), at price it is willing to give it's prepaid customers. It is happy to turn down new business at a price they are happy with! Very stange.

    • g1 on 21/06/2015 - 18:56

      price it is willing to give it's prepaid customers
      price it is willing to give to SELECT prepaid customers

    • bluedufflecoat on 21/06/2015 - 21:09

      I didn't get the email… I've been using Telstra prepaid for… 8 years!!

      Am churning over to Optus at the end of this month.

    • [Deactivated] on 21/06/2015 - 22:01

      great post…..which I accidentally 'negged'. Sorry mate, damn iPad. How do I remove it? Anyone?

      • abacus on 22/06/2015 - 00:00

        no problem. Should be interesting what happens Monday morning with the deal. My son was paying about $110 per month for Telstra mobile and then he moved to Boost at $40 for the identically same deal. TPG's $69 deal cannot even be bought from Telstra as it doesn't include mobile calls, AFAIK. And now it looks like most people will get knocked back on this deal on Monday.

  • jiakz on 22/06/2015 - 09:55

  • Brad002 on 22/06/2015 - 11:17

    Spoke to Telstra, they are aware that it was posted in forums. It was an existing prepaid customer targeted offer to move them away from the encore plan/bonus credit plans. The Telstra online team is in the process of cancelling inelligable orders to make stock available for the intended recipients. Looks like I'll get my phone then

      • andyman1908 on 22/06/2015 - 12:21

        I doubt that would be the case. You have proof of it being $45 plan, a simple phone call would resolve it if it did end up being the case.

    • DiscoJango on 22/06/2015 - 12:47

      this is the plan i signed up for (go casual $45):
      https://www.telstra.com.au/help/download/document/personal-c…

      but the paperwork i have recieved said it is for a "go mobile casual $50" plan which appears to be this:
      https://www.telstra.com.au/help/download/document/personal-c…

      as you can see they are two different plans (unlimited calls vs $1000 worth of calls) so lets see how this pans out…unless i should call telstra to confirm ?
