      This is a different offer, the previous offer worked for pre paid customers - this one is for post paid customers only.

      • MELso on 01/03/2016 - 10:24

        And unlike last year's one, which was a bit secret squirrel, this is a publicly advertised offer as highlighted by the link above…

        • MELso on 01/03/2016 - 10:28

          @jv: Because it was intended to be a promo for new subscribers only. This one is for all Telstra postpaid subscribers. I think…

  • edmobile8 on 01/03/2016 - 10:08

    Can a bigpond cable customer do this?

    • MELso on 01/03/2016 - 10:21

      You need to have a Telstra mobile service I think.

  • nocure on 01/03/2016 - 10:14

    Here we go again…🏈🏉..let the footy season commence.

  • Dontreadthis on 01/03/2016 - 10:14

    I have a Telstra post-paid phone account, so I signed up from my phone. But once signed up, all you need to do to use the subscription is download the AFL Live app and login with "Your Telstra ID". I used Dad's Bigpond cable ID. So I'll give this to dad to use (Telechoice). I'm guessing the only thing he will miss out on is unmetered data.

      I'm guessing the only thing he will miss out on is unmetered data.

      If he's with Bigpond, use wifi for unmetered AFL access…

          That includes Data Pass SIMs in a mobile handset via AFL Live Pass FAQ.

          I don't think they can really tell (well they can but not easily at a billing level). It means a device with a Telstra sim.

          Really? Have you tested it out? If not then I suggest you refrain from giving out incorrect information and stop trolling.

          Tested both AFL and NFL on a $0 credit 0 Data spare prepaid sim with last years 365 subscription offer and works fine.

          https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Mobile-Broadband-3G-4…

          Telstra Rep from there confirmed it's unmetered.

          @iamtezr:

          Really? Have you tested it out?

          Yep, I get charged for data usage on my iPad when I use the AFL app…

          I don't have any postpaid Telstra services, just prepaid and cable…

        • iamtezr on 01/03/2016 - 14:55

          @jv:

          Another user here also confirmed that works fine as well(unmetered). Also Telstra rep in the thread I linked confirmed it's unmetered.

          Maybe it's just you.

        • jv on 01/03/2016 - 15:27

          @iamtezr:

          I've got 21GB data on my account, so don't really care.

          Anyway, already got it free from last year's post.

          Anyway, thanks for pointing it out.

          I'll send a message to Telstra about why some prepaid accounts get it free and others don't. I'm sure they'll sort it out for you…

          +1

          @jv:
          I think the defining feature is whether the data is Mobile Data or Mobile Broadband
          ie if your data is on a "phone" SIM, then it's Mobile Data and is unmetered
          If it's on a Data only SIM, then it's Mobile Broadband and it is metered as per jv's "terms and Conditions" above.
          iPad SIM is probably a Data only SIM…

        • sween64 on 01/03/2016 - 16:57

          @jv: Where is the SIM? In the iPad or some form of hotspot?

        • rawm on 01/03/2016 - 19:33

          @scubacoles: Makes sense. What about those who use Telechoice, Telstra 3G in all but name? Thoughts?

          @sween64:

          Where is the SIM? In the iPad or some form of hotspot?

          Telstra Wifi dongle

        • sween64 on 01/03/2016 - 22:03

          @jv: That's why you aren't getting unmetered data. It's actually dependant on the device it's in NOT the plan the SIM is on. They must do IMEI checks.

          Put the same SIM in a mobile phone, turn on the hotspot and connect your iPad to its wifi. Then, if I'm correct, you should get unmetered streaming and videos within the AFL/NRL app.

        • jv on 01/03/2016 - 22:08

          @sween64:

          That's why you aren't getting unmetered data

          thanks, but I doubt I'd need it anyway… Currently have 21GB and I mainly use the AFL app when on my wifi at home, which is unmetered by Telstra.

      • Akuma on 02/03/2016 - 19:07

        Yes. All Telstra mobile services are unmettered on Telstra websites with the "Green Dot" logo.

  • Schema on 01/03/2016 - 10:22

    Just signed up to this, got the link & signed in with my Telstra Account

    "Payment Type - Prepaid Online"

    I am Post-Paid but i am unsure why it says that.

    give it a test as it says my plan is "prepaid" when i am not.

    • irickiie on 01/03/2016 - 10:26

      You need a "Post-paid" phone service but the yearly subscription is a "pre-paid" one year subscription. So what that means is the AFL subscription is already prepaid until 2017.

    • Akuma on 02/03/2016 - 19:07

      That is referring to the subscription type.

    When you dial the number - are you just given a subscription code to enter that can be applied against any login? Or do you have to login to the AFL site with the precise Telstra login?

    I have enough family members with Telstra who wouldn't use this.

    • ozdavo on 01/03/2016 - 11:46

      AFAIK this is due to licencing, ie it only works over the Telstra mobile network. I may work with your PC tethered to your phone?

      • TheZohan on 01/03/2016 - 11:49

        You're right, it's a licensing thing, though it's not to do with your connection type, it's to do with your device.

      • 99altezza on 01/03/2016 - 11:50

        No, it worked on my phone via the app. I streamed this at home so it's going thru the same network. But when I log in on the PC, it gets to the games but when I try to play it, it doesn't stream. Watching it on the phone is no fun.
