12 month contract with Telstra - SIM only for new and existing customers
Unlimited local calls / SMS
Option for unlimited data shaped at 1.5Mbps once you've exceeded your allowance on $59 and $79 plans
6 months Apple Music
Sport data free
Telstra Air

15gb+15gb bonus for $39
30gb+30gb bonus for $59 (includes unlimited talk and text to 15 selected countries)
60gb+30gb bonus for $79 (includes unlimited talk and text to 15 selected countries, unlimited talk and text whilst & 2gb when roaming in selected countries)

I'm not sure what happens after 12 months - eg if the bonus data disappears.
The above plan costs also include a $10 per month discount. I'm not sure if this disappears after 12 months

Offer expires 16/11/18 at 1700

More details https://www.telstra.com.au/content/dam/tcom/personal/mobile-…

Cashrewards has a $45 cashback https://www.cashrewards.com.au/telstra

Edit: I've confirmed with online chat (Michael) that the bonus data and $10 per month discount continues until you recontract to a new plan. YMMV

Edit 2: Thanks to Odesi, I asked for the 5Gb Christmas Bonus. They can't give that on live chat, but they gave another 5gb bonus instead. Again, they claimed it would continue for the life of the plan. I lost the 5Gb loyalty bonus when I upgraded my MX plan, but no big deal due to this bonus. Also I had 2 months to run on my 12 month MX Sim only plan, and there was no early termination fee to upgrade to this offer. The 5GB bonus showed up immediately in my account

Edit 3: Apparently these new deals don't allow data sharing. Some people have also managed to get unlimited data (shaped) on the lowest plan for free. YMMV

As with all things done online, please protect yourself and have the chat transcript emailed to you / printed. Often what the rep promises and what happens is quite different

    Nice work. This was only for new customers earlier this week. And yes I believe $10 credit is only for 12 months so plan goes up $10 after that.

    • cyssero on 15/11/2018 - 21:48

      If you're not in contract I don't see why not, you could always port out and back in too.

    • Being Askhole on 15/11/2018 - 22:28

      If you are on Telstra $49 plan already then you can have a chat with Telstra Sales . They should be able to do something about it. Give a try

    • [Deactivated] on 15/11/2018 - 22:30

      yeah best option is to try, you might just have to sign a new contract for another 12 months though.

    I'm not sure what happens after 12 months - eg if the bonus data disappears.

      A few people I work with don't have broadband options. They use their mobile data plans as their home internet.

    • iHello on 15/11/2018 - 23:09

      The more the merrier. 90GB will not be enough once 5G is available. Many people may even stop using their NBN.

      Recontracted - had 3 weeks to go before end of 12 months
      20Gb for $39/month
      Now 30gb for same with peace of mind data

      • butwhy on 15/11/2018 - 22:34

        I don't think the Peace of Mind data was available on the lowest plan?
        Edit - oh it is for a $10 option

        • aibargain on 15/11/2018 - 22:35

          Chat said it did. Emailed summary says it does, just double checked

          • butwhy on 15/11/2018 - 22:40

            @aibargain: "Peace of Mind data
            If you have a $49 plan, you may add Peace of Mind data for
            $10/mth. You will be charged for Peace of Mind data each
            month until you cancel even if you don’t use all your included
            data in a month.

            If you have a $69 or $89 plan, your Plan includes Peace of Mind
            data at no additional cost but you may switch to Extra Data at
            $10/1GB.

            For Peace of Mind Data, if you exceed your included data
            allowance, your data speeds are capped at 1.5Mbps until the end
            of your bill cycle (not suitable for HD video or high speed
            applications, and means that some web pages, video/social media
            content and some large files may take longer to load) and slowed
            further during busy periods."

            • AdamFury on 15/11/2018 - 23:02

              @butwhy: There's a line in their system to add Peace of Mind data for nothing I believe it's "$0 Peace of Mind Data". They can add it to the lower tier plans.

      • dragong87 on 16/11/2018 - 00:29

        I can confirm $39 for 30GB and Peace of mind. I just got it as well - existing customer. The plan is called "companion plan"

        I didnt ask for the christmas bonus, but did ask if they could give me a 5gb bonus on top as well - no budging.
        Might try for the xmas bonus data in a few days.

      I'm currently in the process from a Sim Only plan with 2 months to run. Early Termination fees are being waved

    • Blu on 15/11/2018 - 22:48

      Guessing there’s a queue. I have been on chat hold for half an hour now. Only a few months into a 12 month contract so don’t like my chances.

      • Blu on 15/11/2018 - 23:30

        Just a follow up to this, I was able to renew without a termination charge with no effort or arm twisting at all for two numbers. $39 20gb to $39 30gb.

    • carlordau on 16/11/2018 - 02:28

      Mine runs out in March. No termination charge here. I went from a $49 month plan (with $10 month discount) to a $49/month plan with the $10 discount.

      I was informed that the $10 discount runs out at the end of the contract (meaning months 13+ are $49/month as opposed to the discounted $39/month).

  • SteatoLegato on 15/11/2018 - 22:35

    My dude tells me once the contract term is up the bonus data and credit disappear

    • PinzVidz on 15/11/2018 - 23:11

      Set a reminder in your calendar around 15/10/19 to keep an eye out for a OzB deal just like this one. You can renew with a fresh contract with Telstra prior to this contract ending (without penalty).

      • SteatoLegato on 15/11/2018 - 23:16

        the only penalty it seems is the difference between end of contract and start of new contract. The dude i'm signing up with basically told me i'm forfeiting the last 11 days of my current plan

    • zqipz on 16/11/2018 - 07:23

      That’s not true. got a similar deal last year discount and extra gigs continue.

    • xis123 on 16/11/2018 - 11:09

      The rep at JB told me when signing up that the credit and bonus data, although says it's only for 12 months, will stick around for the 'life of the plan' (as long as you don't change plans) unless Telstra push you off it, but it's likely it'll be grandfathered for a few years to come.

      Don't sweat it. You are 99% going to retain your bonus data / credits after the 12-month contract is up.

  • hypie on 15/11/2018 - 22:42

    Good deal for Telstra, but i'm still waiting for a BYO plan with international roaming (1gb or 2gb a month would do just fine).

    • b3au on 15/11/2018 - 22:52
      +3

      The $89 BYO plan (down to $79 with this $10 off offer) does include roaming

      International roaming - 2GB data roaming and unlimited talk & text in eligible countries.

      And from the CIS: https://www.telstra.com.au/content/dam/tcom/personal/mobile-…

        • b3au on 15/11/2018 - 23:08

          Whatever deal Telstra has with the carrier in that country - eg you will get LTE/4G in NZ while roaming with Telstra

    Can confirm it works, upgraded from 15g $39 to 35g $39. Existing customer still within 12 months of previous BYO plan. Upgraded with no extra charge and asked for the 5g extra data, applied no issues. Also got told and in writing the discounts and data continue until recontract.

    • SteatoLegato on 16/11/2018 - 08:45

    …I prefer to see all the details before signing up, otherwise the process could be to click through from CR, then Buy now, and jump onto live chat after, to see if they'll add the bonus 5GB data…

    • Mungahh on 16/11/2018 - 01:48

      My rep spoke to her supervisor who said he can only apply either the 5GB bonus, or else free peace of mind data, not both. And I was under a companion plan for some reason? All very bizarre.

      • Mooncakes on 16/11/2018 - 02:24

        Yeah mine has both included replacing my existing plan, I was really nice to the support lady haha maybe that helped I don't know but just treat them nicely and customer support reps tend to be more nicer (people should do it either way honestly)

    • seanneko on 16/11/2018 - 06:14

      I tried getting both, and the live chat person had no idea what they were even doing. They said if I wanted peace of mind data I needed to get the $49 plan (which doesn't even exist). Gave up and closed the chat.

  • rmb3218 on 16/11/2018 - 07:18

    I’m out of contract with Telstra, 2 mobiles & iPad. Unfortunately, no data share with Telstra on these new plans, so will probably try Optus.

  • SuperC on 16/11/2018 - 07:58

    Re contracted in August and got $39 a month for 20gb, chatted this morning and managed to get an extra 10gb added to my account. So now $39 a month for 30Gb. Tried getting peace of mind data but no dice.

  • mooreshady on 16/11/2018 - 08:18
    +2

    Why don’t you guys go for JBHIFI’s deal? $45 for 50GB isn’t it a better deal?

    • Zapped on 16/11/2018 - 08:43
      +1

      $1 = 1.11GB for JBHIFI
      $1 = 0.77GB for Telstra
      Technically better from the "data" perspective but from a cost perspective, $6 a month over 12 months (minimum) is $72 and that's almost 2 months "worth" of the plan :) Since this is OzBargain, there would be people swinging both ways depending on data consumption I'd guess.

      • mooreshady on 16/11/2018 - 13:00

        Cool thanks for that

    • Crocfreefree on 16/11/2018 - 08:47

      Probably is better value, although $39 is a nice, psychological low value, especially for people who can't imagine ever getting through 30GB in a month, let alone 50.

      Also, JB Hi-Fi deals usually require port-in from another carrier, whereas this deal (I believe) lets you move from Telstra Prepaid to the 12 month contract.

      It's a significant difference for those who don't want to risk porting their number to a new carrier and/or the inconvenience of waiting.

      (Technically, you should be away from Telstra for a least a month to be qualified for a port-in. In the past they haven't been strict, but some people have reported that now they run scans to check, with the consequence that your bonuses might be jeopardised.)

    • FXD on 16/11/2018 - 09:15
      +1

      It’s not a better deal if you’ll never get near using 30gb of data - then you’re just paying $6 a month extra for nothing.

      • Jacos on 16/11/2018 - 10:51

        What about the $200 GC ?

    • Twocupteabag on 16/11/2018 - 21:51

      What put me off JB is the rigmorale last time i switched through them. I should have gone for it with the gift card but this way i know my phone will have no down time.

    • xis123 on 16/11/2018 - 11:12

      Bruh I'm on the same deal, however without the POM. Was this the $39 for 20GB deal back in August at JB Hi Fi?
      How'd you get POM? I'd love to know man..

      • Kewok on 16/11/2018 - 12:19

        No this was from the $39/m, POM, 20GB BYO deal that was offered through Telstra a couple of months back. To get to where I am today required a lot (and I mean a lot) of live chats and calls to the retention centre. Persistence and patience paid off in the end I suppose :)

        • xis123 on 16/11/2018 - 15:14

          Ahh right, gotcha! - so you were on the Companion Plan from a while ago which had POM.

          https://imgur.com/a/tF0mZri

          Is it this one?
          I'm on a similar one, it's the same inclusions but without POM, instead came with the $200 JB Hi-Fi gift card.

          Makes sense now.
          I have tried time & time again to get Peace of Mind added on but they won't budge and now I think I found the reason why.
          Cheers for the clarification, Kewok!

          Started off with $39 20GB and OzBargain brute-forced my way to $29 50GB. $0.58 per GB. Delicious.

  • randomthought on 16/11/2018 - 09:33

    If only they had a $29pm plan (with around say 5GB).

    • randomthought on 16/11/2018 - 10:36

      never mind, discovered Boost are much better value: $30pm gives 12Gb + 23Gb bonus or $40pm gives 22Gb + 23Gb bonus, and you're not locked in.

        • khrome on 16/11/2018 - 12:37

          So in actual fact after you use your 5 recharges it's $30 for 12gb

      • ausmisc on 16/11/2018 - 11:43

        Yeah I’m regional NSW and need Telstra retail network for service at some of my worksites. Recently switched from the $39 15GB Telstra to the Boost $30. Boost has data rollover too which is handy for the rare occasion I might need more data. Half price for the first month atm.

    • Zapped on 16/11/2018 - 11:10

      $45 is for new customers only.
      This offer is for new and existing.

      At the end of the day, two totally different offers.
      Some OzB hunters look for lowest ongoing cost and some look for maximum data.

Only 2 months into the $49 20GB JBHIFI plan that had the $400 voucher for a new phone, and they re-contracted for free to the $59 with 65GB and POM.

First rep wouldn't offer me anything extra, second one has offered the extra 5GB but not PoM as "the order will not complete as the system will not allow it". Third time lucky? Edit: Nope. Told it was possible but was then told I'd have to pay almost $500 to end my current phone plan - first 2 were willing to waive the early termination charge and have me just pay out the ~$240 left on the phone.

    Just recontracted my wife's service she got in the the end of June at JB $49 @25GB + $500 of Galaxy S9. Now $39 for 30GB. Not a bad deal.

    Thanks to this deal, got my husband's service recontracted - 35GB for $39/month. Couldn't get the Peace of Mind Data, though.

    Thanks Op! I just got Telstra to switch my $49 plan (with 20GB) to this $39 plan (With 30GB) that I just signed up to last month with no break fee. Win!

    Was the plan change instant? I spoke with chat at 12:30am ish and I'm yet to get the plan change.

    • phandrew on 16/11/2018 - 14:33

      Both my plans are connected. Just waited for over 1h for it to transfer.

      • Sergeant Salami on 16/11/2018 - 16:53

        Finally just got the notifications that my plans has changed. Must have been because I ordered online through cash rewards.

    • Tempus Fugit on 16/11/2018 - 15:22

      I'm currently on the 40gigs unlimited for $69 a month so I can now get 90gigs for $79 unlimited???? Yes I'm currently on a 12 month contract with telsta

  • larkan on 16/11/2018 - 14:12

    Thanks OP! Connected on the $39 plan with an extra 5gb on top of the 30gb.

  • kche3572 on 16/11/2018 - 15:08

    I get the plan with live chat
    but I have not receive a confirmation email from Telstra
    Am I suppose to get an email?

  • xawcom on 16/11/2018 - 15:17

    The CashRewards cashback has doubled to $90 for the $49 Plan.

    I re-contracted 2 phones to the $49 BYO plan (15gb+15gb bonus for $39) and received confirmation of $90 for both plans ($180 Total).

    • Sergeant Salami on 16/11/2018 - 16:49

      I'm pretty sure it is initially $90 but will go down to $45. I read it somewhere, I think it was on CR itself.

  • Perkable72 on 16/11/2018 - 15:42

    Thanks, OP!

    Recontracted from my current $49/month-15GB 12mth plan (with 8 months to go) to the $39/month-30GB + an extra 5GB (a bonus just for me apparently :-) ).
    No ETC as you don't need to pay out your contract when moving to another contract.
    Works for me.
    There was a long delay (2+hours) in receiving the LiveChat transcript.
    It can take a couple days to receive e-mail confirmation as well regarding the order.

    • MitchyD1989 on 16/11/2018 - 19:40

      Been over 3 hours since i finished the chat, still no transcript.. hopefully comes through soon because the last time I cancelled a service through live chat they tried to charge me $650 instead of $300ish for the disconnection, only got it waived because i had proof of what i was quoted, ha. Won't be surprised if they attempt something similar again as I've cancelled my phone plan early to get this plan.
