PRESTO

Recently signed up for Telstra's XL Bundle, unfortunately, the code for 6 months of free Presto was nowhere to be seen.

After waiting weeks, I decided to take it up with Telstra's 24/7 Chat. The kind gentleman informed me that I could SMS the word 'PRESTO' to 0498 500 400 and receive the special code… PRESTO! It worked.

Also got a few friends to try this that aren't on the Telstra network, and all were successful.

Another code thanks to RogueWolf6 in case the SMS feature above doesn't give you one: TELB6MTH615

Just saw this promo on my T-BOX under information/news, don't think its targeted, find out soon I guess

    Works perfectly thanks OP

    Does Presto have anything special that Netflix (US or AU) doesn't have?

      Well it has Aquarius with David Duchovny - pretty pretty good.
      Oh and Wentworth (lezzos in jail) which is kinda good too.

      There's a few shows offered that you can't get on Netflix or Stan

    • uggugg on 24/07/2015 - 11:01

      Free in monetary terms but there's the opportunity cost of your time.

    • ItsMeAgro on 24/07/2015 - 16:42

      Maybe if you can't read, and therefore watch a lot of TV/Movies on your phone

    Looks like closing/canceling the account is very easy, just click "close my account" at the bottom of the settings screen!

          Doing nothing is also free.

      • pegaxs on 24/07/2015 - 09:48

        Or you go to use it and find out that none of the apps on any device work for more than 5 mins at a time and crash constantly…

        • Slo20 on 24/07/2015 - 16:20

          I've had presto for months and never had it crash on my IOS devices

        • pegaxs on 24/07/2015 - 17:14

          @Slo20: Then you are in the minority… Just have a look at the ratings and reviews here…

          https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/presto.-anytime/id734187079?…

          https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/presto-for-iphone/id95948511…

        • Slo20 on 24/07/2015 - 17:56

          @pegaxs: I never said the app was well designed, just said it doesn't crash on me. Read the first 15 reviews and not one say the app crashes.

        • pegaxs on 24/07/2015 - 23:13
          +1

          @Slo20: almost every review says… "App crashes" because everyone except you gets to experience it crashing. Blank screens, crashing back to desktop or simply crashing on launch. You are lucky and in a very small minority.

          And you need to go back and read the reviews, because 90% of the first 15 reviews I read all said the same thing… It crashes…

          And last of all, I never said that you said anything about the design of the app. Don't know why you think I even mentioned it… I just said the app crashes for everyone else except you. That is all I mentioned.

        • Slo20 on 25/07/2015 - 07:07

          @pegaxs: we obviously see different reviews because I re read them and not one says app crashes. I mentioned app design because the reviews I read complain about certain links (I.e community page) not working, not having a watch list and the app not being as good as Netflix.
          Either way I'm not defending presto, simply saying I'm not the only one who it doesn't crash on.

      Or would you like me to buy you one?

      • [Deactivated] on 24/07/2015 - 09:35

        Thanks for the offer Big T, but considering you comment below, perhaps I really "saved" $24.50, certainly wont pay $39. BTW works OK on my 7" Asus tablet

        • Big Trev on 24/07/2015 - 09:38

          Definitely recommend the Chromecast regardless of what you're streaming, excellent little device.

    • Kambo_Rambo on 24/07/2015 - 12:19

      $25 probably wont happen any time soon. $35-39 is probably your best bet.

  • Big Trev on 24/07/2015 - 09:26

    I'm on the "free" 6 months (through a new Telstra mobile contract), and in my experience, free is still too much. The android app is appalling, and the crashiest piece of crashy crap I can recall - it's rare that it will open twice in a row without needing a force-stop. The restriction on registered devices is ridiculous, and if you look through their support forums, the implementation is very buggy - LOTS of people having problems. And very few phones are supported, luckily (unluckily?) the one I have is.

    We've used it a little bit, but if we decide we really want a streaming service I'd pay for Netflix before persisting with this garbage.

    • pegaxs on 24/07/2015 - 09:52
      +1

      The situation is the same on Apple devices. Flakey playback that last 5 mins before needing to be reset, and all their hardware is the same. Thought Android might have been better, found out it was exactly the same. Still, free is free… even if it is just 5 min per stint. :D

  • neonlight on 24/07/2015 - 10:26

    Tried 2 versions of Presto app on Android, either can't login, or thinks there's no connection. the app is hopeless

    Even free, I've kind of given up on this. Can't get it going on Android box neither.

    who would pay for this seriously with Netflix and Stan being much better!?

  • edBARGAIN on 24/07/2015 - 10:35

  • neonlight on 24/07/2015 - 12:25

    Time will tell when this code stops working. Surely some Telstra rep would tell their boss and cancel it

    By all means, Presto officially is rubbish compare to Stan and Netflix

    On tablet can't even login, it must be the Ozbargain effect, crashing their servers what not.

    There's no competition, their app is all 1 stars

    If they actually made decent apps to support more devices it might actually be OK, oh, and have HD streams. No console support? Pass from me. Tell me when they actually support consoles and more devices (ATV) and I might be interested, but until then… yawn.

    I'm starting to think soon they'll need to actually pay people to use their service!

    • stewy on 25/07/2015 - 01:31

    TEL515MAS worked for me at 11:00 p.m. Didn't use SMS, just logged on to the page (I'm a Telstra customer).

    Payment today will be $0.00.
    You will be charged $0.00 per month for the first 6 months, then $14.99 per month there after.Subscription fees will automatically apply at the end of the bonus period, unless your account is cancelled before the end of the bonus period. You can cancel anytime during the bonus period by going to your Presto settings and selecting ‘Close Account’. If you cancel after your bonus period, your account will be closed at the end of your subscribed month. You can also monitor your billing status through ‘Settings’.
    Use on a Telstra Home Broadband connection won’t count towards your data allowance.

    So, pretty cool; thanks to OP.

    Now to remember to cancel in 6 months!

    Great thanks, got another six months (on a new account).

    Does anyone know if pausing an account on Presto is equivalent to closing the account with regards to free trials? I don't wish to be charged after the previous six months ended but would prefer to keep the account around.

    Thanks for any tips.

  • randoom on 25/07/2015 - 21:42

    The web interface fails to play (errors with "You are not authorized to view this content") anything, and the app for iOS is absolutely shocking. No retina support for phones so it looks awful, and fails to do the most basic things like restarting where you finished or even keeping track of what you were watching. The amount of content is average, though there's some obscure Aussie shows there.

    All that said, it's fine for free for what it does do. Maybe things will even get better in the next 6 months of free service.

    Thanks for posting the deal OP.

  • lostn on 26/07/2015 - 00:51
    +1

    If you cancel it tomorrow, will you still get to use it for the next 6 months or does your service terminate straight away? I'm going to forget to cancel.

    Looks like Android app does not support Galaxy S6. Oh well. Guess I'm unsubscribing now then.

    And I heard it was SD only. This thing is only good if it's free.

    EDIT: It seems you can only "pause" your subscription, not cancel it. This sounds like a gym membership where they deliberately make it hard for you to leave. And it will remain useable for the next month, not 6 months. It told me I can continue using it until 26/8/2015 even though the bonus period is 6 months, not 1 month.

  • figarow on 26/07/2015 - 16:11
