        Don't be sorry, it's still better to have some inside knowledge of upcoming deals even if things change (as they can). Thanks, and hopefully Telstra does announce it soon.

    Looks like us MOG users are going to be screwed by Telstra.
    Should we really of expected any better?

    http://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Telstra-Product-Exits/…

  • the Insider on 31/07/2015 - 15:59

    MOG users aren't being 'screwed by Telstra',..it was'nt a fault of there's that Apple bought BEATS, closed down MOG US and then rolled BEATS into Apple Music. How fast was Telstra supposed to react or even be held responsible.

    Under the circumstances,..it appears that Apple Music was the priority for Apple, but Telstra customers may in fact be a winner. The Telstra message that appeared day 1 of Apple Music & the fact that MOG is officially closing may be a clue….Stay Tuned :-)

    • deal88 on 31/07/2015 - 16:33

      I hope you're right. To get a message today that the service will cease in a few weeks is disappointing.

      Like many MOG users, I only signed up due to their connection with Telstra.

      Telstra has had a lot of time to sort an alternative out for us MOG/Telstra users. There is not even any mention so far of a recommended alternative, or a free trial of Spple Music or any other unmetered service.

      Telstra have had a lot of time to work on this and they are a company big enough to be helpful and professional.

    • deal88 on 31/07/2015 - 16:56

      I should add, my major concern is the lack of communication from MOG and Telstra.

      We are a group of customers that have shown a willingness to pay for a streaming service. It is unwise to give paying customers a reason to look at competitors products.

  • kfuerza on 31/07/2015 - 16:15

    Hoping for free streaming with Apple Music. Will be happy with a one year free trial.

    As the basis for the catalog is MOG, Ive been enjoying the 3 month free trial thus far.
    Only possible deal breaker between Apple Music and Spotify is the lack of integration with DJ programs like Djay2.
    Would be awesome to be able to relive my past and fart around DJing songs on the train without having to buy them.

  • Saiya on 01/08/2015 - 00:42

    I really hope Telstra put something together to replace MOG.

      • barryquinn on 04/08/2015 - 10:37

        Same with me. I then rang Telstra and got the usual runaround. I think we should check later. Moderator?

        • kheob on 04/08/2015 - 10:39

          Yeah rang them too and they said the system wasn't released yet or something. Now my button is stuck on 'pending'. Hopefully they remedy it later.

          Edit: Never mind it says it's applied now.

        • barryquinn on 04/08/2015 - 11:29

          @kheob: I was allowed to add it again. It now says "pending", and I haven't received an SMS telling me that it can't be processed. Fingers crossed.

        • kheob on 04/08/2015 - 11:52

        • unity1 on 04/08/2015 - 14:44

          @kheob: So did you end up receiving the SMS?

        • kheob on 04/08/2015 - 19:20

          @unity1: Nope, no SMS. The Telstra guy did call me back to say it was working though (I rang them earlier).

      Note that t&c's say if you activate it it will void the remainder of your Apple 3 month trial - I'll be waiting until that trial is over before getting the 12 months from Telstra.

    Still 12 months, i shouldnt be complaining but im an ozbargainer!
    Happy streaming!

        Well in that case its not so bad, but still i can connect my phone to iTunes and load music onto my phone.
        but i would bet my left nut that its easier to do with the apple music app as iTunes is a real pain to use :/

  • DrStinge on 04/08/2015 - 11:39

    From the FAQ - 6mb per song streaming - ouch, can't see that data lasting long.

    http://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Apple-Music/Apple-Musi…

    "Data charges apply for downloading the Apple Music app and when using the app. Data usage is aprox 6mb per song when streaming music. You can estimate your monthly data usage at https://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/plans-and-rates/dat… "

    • Smigit on 04/08/2015 - 12:22

      You can download tracks for later listening, so load up the device while on WiFi and then in the My Music section of Apple Music click the Artist drop down near the top and then choose the 'Show Music Available Offline' option which will hide anything that hasn't been downloaded to the device and prevent you accidentally playing those tracks when you are limited to mobile networks.

      Edit: You might also be able to restrict data use by going to Settings -> Cellular and in the Use Cellular Data For list disabling the Music app. I haven't tried doing it this way, but I imagine it should work.

    • GaelicAU on 04/08/2015 - 14:14

    Seriously Data Charges, Grrr… I was looking forward to a MOG type arrangement, but you're basically the cost of the Streaming Service in Data Charges. I'm better off staying with Amaysim and paying for the Plan as the extra costs of data offset any benefits of free service.

    Pretty disappointed - was really looking forward to this :(

      I mentioned it above, but you can download tracks to the phone for listening when not on a network. As such, download what you need while on WiFi and once you're done filter the My Music library to only list tracks that have been saved locally so you don't accidentally access tracks stored online (which will incur downloads).

      Works for songs you own and have uploaded to the cloud, as well as anything in the Apple Music library that you'd have available for streaming.

      Edit: You might also be able to restrict data use by going to Settings -> Cellular and in the Use Cellular Data For list disabling the Music app.
