    not bad, almost on par with optus, except you get free MMS with optus as well…(that said telstra has better coverage)

    Hmm… Why is there a contract for BYO?

      Not sure…but it should definitely be month by month.

    • Cap N on 27/04/2011 - 14:11

      My exact thoughts…

    • wisc on 27/04/2011 - 14:15

      optus has a contract for there BYO, however, they give you a few months free access for signing up to a contract..

    this is no where near as good as the "family & friends offer" last year :(

  • dkslim on 27/04/2011 - 14:25

    This is expensive. Where is the family and friends offer again, there should be one by now.

      Go to Optus or Voda if you want cheap prices. Telstra aren't into the whole bargain basement prices with a crap network to boot….

        Agree.

        Overall Telstra prices have dropped since the new CEO took over. Even though their prices are still a little more expensive the Optus & Vodacrap, their network clearly outshines their competitors, which makes it worth joining.

      • overlook on 27/04/2011 - 15:12

        if telstra going into the bargain prices, the performance will be same as optus/vodafone. NO POINT THEN, no more quality control

    Very good deal IMO.. Modest offer but the unlimited SMS and 1.5gb of data plus Telstra's network.

    Keeping in mind a lot of people cannot get a reliable service with the optus or vodafone network's and telstra is the only option +1 for me.

    Have checked with Telstra. Confirmed. You need to enter into a 12 or 24 month contract.

    How is this a bargain? Just their standard pricing, and it is the most expensive network.
    Also does not compare well to Telstras own prepaid. Especially with the 12 month commit!!

    edit: OK, I get you disagree. Why? Isn't this site for specials? Isn't the prepaid cap better value?

      I dont really understand how this is a bargain. It is THE best network by far. I am with telstra after the horror of Virgin and never looked back. However for that price it seems expensive. I have $49/month (same deal as up there) but for 24 months I got the HTC Desire which was a $650 phone which is worth more than 12 additional months of $49/month ($588).

        Yep.. Telstra have royally f'd their customers with this "MRO" bullcrap. You used to be able to get a decent phone, on contract, without paying any extra. Now - don't even think about it..

        • bengee138 on 27/04/2011 - 19:23

          Agreed, now its screwed. Telstra were doing well at being competitive then stepped back again.

  • Chuppa on 27/04/2011 - 15:46

    You apparently lose bundling discounts ($10p/m per service) if you upgrade to the new plans - bit crap!

  • mustafansu on 27/04/2011 - 15:49

    49$ pm is not bad actually. I was with 3 in Melbourne, never had any trouble. then moved to townsville and switched to vodafail as no 3 network. But its such a FAIL voda here in TSV. I am so frustrated that thinking of breaking my contract (another 10 months) and get telstra. this wouldnt be bad although I dont have a nexg set.

  • bargain88 on 27/04/2011 - 17:42

    The $49 sim only plan seems to be the $59 Freedom plan.Since you have to commit to the sim-only plan are you not better off with the $59 Freedom plan then selling off the phone? Looking at the list of free ones on the $59 Freedom plan they sure look like they can fetch more than $240 (which you can use to offset the higher plan costs)

  • infinite on 28/04/2011 - 11:18

    Not much of a bargain, I'm afraid.
