Thank you Telstra & Boost! After seeing this post https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/524638 from Twix I thought i'd try entering my Boost pre-paid mobile number (and my wife's too) to see if Telstra were also giving bonus data to Boost customers. We are on the $150 plan and both received a text this afternoon saying "Your 10GB bonus data to use within Australia has been added to your service." It has also appeared on my My Boost account as Bonus Data at the bottom of the My Boost page & the expiry for mine says 17/4.

Try this link if you are having troubles https://say.telstra.com.au/customer/general/forms/COVID-19

The previous post said Boost wasn't included so I thought this deserved a post of it's own even though the link is the same, but feel free to remove this mods if you don't think it does.

      • Confirmation eMail…?
    • MatthewTeng on 26/03/2020 - 08:28

      Can't find the form?

      If you're not seeing the form on PC, I'm finding when I click the link, it goes to the page and instantly redirects to another COVID information page.

      If you copy the URL https://say.telstra.com.au/customer/general/forms/COVID-19 and paste it in the address bar at the top it wont redirect are you can see the form fine.

      Tech note:
      They must be redirecting if there's a referrer address from another domain or something. The reason some people are finding it works in incognito mode is likely they are copying the address across, not actually the mode.

    Any way to do this without the app?

      Yes, you need to use the desktop site.

        Thanks, this worked for me. From my mobile, I had to click the link and then quickly switch to desktop site in Chrome before it loaded the page.

        • IVI on 21/03/2020 - 20:08

          Does desktop site require OR allow
          Login (ie, use of your Telstra ID)?

    • Coastie on 20/03/2020 - 16:49

      Just fill out the form via the link. You dont need the app

        What link? I could be blind but clicked on the telstra page and it says via app. Tried to search a link on that page but cannot find.

        • kwchaz on 20/03/2020 - 16:54

          It's the main link of the deal, not the two links in the text.

        • frogduck on 20/03/2020 - 16:54
          +10

          It didn't work on Chrome (kept redirecting) for me, but worked on Edge.

        • badonde on 20/03/2020 - 16:55
          +16

          It's weird, the link initially loads a page where you can enter a number, but it quickly redirects to a page telling you to download the App.
          So you need to hit Escape as soon as the first page partially loads, then you can enter numbers and quick submit.

          I tried chrome, incognito and edge all had the same issue. Best way is to hit escape as soon as the first page begins loading

          Or use an extension that stops redirects (not clued up on that stuff these days!)

          The link is weird. Remove everything after and including the ? and it works.

    • RichardL on 20/03/2020 - 17:20

      From the linked page:

      We'll send you an SMS to confirm once it's been applied to your account - it should take about 48 hours. It will be available within 48 hours and you'll be notified by SMS once it's been applied.

  • cheaponos on 20/03/2020 - 17:20

    Thanks OP! Worked in Chrome for me and not in Edge/IE.

    Thanks for this. But why make people register at all. Why not just apply the extra data to everyone's account?

  • PukeyLuke on 20/03/2020 - 17:27

    So with this 10GB bonus data, do you have to use your hard earned data before it uses your 10GB bonus data?
    For example the OP has (I'm assuming) $150 80GB 12 month prepaid plan, if you have 80GB left and Telstra/Boost adds on 10GB bonus data, will you start using your 10GB bonus data first or will it only use the 10GB bonus data after you've used your 80GB that you had paid for first. Therefore by the proposed expiry date of 17/4 you may not have got close to using the bonus data?!

    • damion on 20/03/2020 - 17:28

      Good question!

    • Coastie on 20/03/2020 - 17:40
      +18

      Great question. It has automatically started using the Bonus Data first - so currently mine is 9.36GB.

      • Blurayz on 20/03/2020 - 18:25
        +2

        How do you check if you had received Bonus Data on Boost Mobile app?

        • Coastie on 20/03/2020 - 18:50
          +3

          Click on the 'data left' heading and it opens to My Boost. If you have Bonus Data it will be at the bottom of the table there. It does take up to 48hrs to arrive though, in case you just signed up.

      • PukeyLuke on 20/03/2020 - 20:14

        @Coastie Thanks, good to know!!

    • Annaise on 22/03/2020 - 20:29

      Its only for 30 days max. The Unused extra data expires after 28-30 days (depending on your plan) and will not rollover.

    • PukeyLuke on 23/03/2020 - 08:55

      In reply to my own question, I have the 365 day 240GB Boost plan. I now have a separate section in "My Balance" called "Bonus Data" where there is 10GB with an expiry date of 18/4 and this data is being used and my standard data has not changed in a few days, so, good deal!!

  • Koipanda on 20/03/2020 - 17:30

    • realfancyman on 20/03/2020 - 23:04

      No way for Telstra to add data to your Belong account. Telstra and Boost share a billing system making this work.

    using chrome INCOGNITO mode: shows the forms to be filled up.
    I have added my boost(12 months plan) & my wife's kogan(3 months plan) number there.

      My boost worked, and logically Kogan didn’t work(as it is not in Telestra network)
      Your 10GB bonus data to use within Australia has been added to your service. You can monitor your data usage via the Telstra 24x7 and My Telstra Apps. Thanks for being with Telstra Pre-Paid.

    • checkingthisout on 21/03/2020 - 09:47

      16 hours later. Nothing. Boost.

      This is such an easy thing to automate. Telstra just make it easy so people don’t actually get it? They gave unlimited data on NBN plans without anyone needing to do anything.
