Telstra's Extra Small data plan is normally $15/month, but connections during '7 Day Frenzy' get $10/month off for the first 12 months.

No lock-in contract, so you can cancel any time and DONT FORGET $45 CASHREWARDS which will equate to $15 for 12 MONTHS , this means $1.25 per month for 5GB data- THIS IS CRAZY!

MOD: Received email from affiliate channel representing Telstra stating that Telstra are currently having tracking issue, and sales through cashback sites such as Cashrewards might not track properly.

Buy it, use it, bank it, boast it, harder better faster stronger!

No excess data charges. When you exceed your allowance, you can continue to access data, but your speed will be capped at 1.5Mbps.

This is a data SIM, so you can use it in devices like tablet, mobile dongles etc. You might be able to use it in a phone, but you can't make calls, it's not made for normal SMS use (charged at PAYG rates).

New customers only. If you want a higher plan instead, $10 discount currently applies those also.

Critical information summary (but does not list the $10/month discount)

Mod: Thanks to Giles for the description, copy pasted from them (who posted the duplicate deal).

    What if I’m out of contract? Can I just cancel and reconnect….

      I believe so, chat or call them to know more but I am sure that if you cancel your current service for a day or so then reconnect than you will be issued a new data number which should be considered as new service.

    • FutureTech on 19/05/2020 - 20:53

      port out and port in again

    • bchliu on 20/05/2020 - 11:43

      Actually new service. Existing customers can apply for this as a new service with the benefits.

  • MatteCar on 19/05/2020 - 20:23

    Let’s say that I pick this plan, can I switch it after a month to the 25$, then maybe back again to the 15$ keeping the 10$ bonus for an year or, when I change the plan I lose the bonus?

  • unhappywizard on 19/05/2020 - 20:26

    Its actually not new customers only. I just signed up using my existing telstra account. Discount applied fine.

    • boomramada on 19/05/2020 - 20:45

      So you got two accounts now? And cancel the other ?

      • FutureTech on 19/05/2020 - 20:53
        +6

        no it is a new service added to an existing account

        • boomramada on 19/05/2020 - 21:06

          Well my account has my (current) service. I'm aware of adding new service, now how do I switch my number across ?

            @boomramada: you can't - you will need to port out and port back in.

            This is a data-only sim can't be used for calls SMS etc why do you care what number you get?

  • Parrot on 19/05/2020 - 20:27

    There is no contract for this. I don't know how it will work for the cashback. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work. It will require 100 days, do you just keep connected for 100 days?

    Seems weird but maybe that's why it is $45 because it's the $15 per month plan for at least 3 months. (cheapest plan is $15/month)

    Does anyone know the background behind the cashback offer? So can you technically make money on this? lol?

    • FutureTech on 19/05/2020 - 20:52

      I have made money so many times on cashback (amaysim predominately before they introduce the once per account rule) so I wouldn't be surprised if you can make money on this because of the $10 off promo. Just bear in mind that it'll cost you a credit check to sign up so factor that in when you are trying to calculate how much you gained

      • Slut on 19/05/2020 - 21:08

          I do think people need to be warned about the credit check and implied cost associated with that. Not as big a hit compared to credit cards but still

          • spaceflight on 19/05/2020 - 21:15

            @FutureTech: It doesn't cost us anything if a credit check is run.

          • fourmi on 25/05/2020 - 22:37

            @FutureTech: This is the first I’m hearing about a credit check being run if we use cash back sites? What are the disadvantages of a credit check being run? I’m a student so don’t even really know what a credit check is.

            • FutureTech on 25/05/2020 - 22:48

              @fourmi: Not cashback sites - talking about telstra conducting credit check if you sign up on their post paid plans.

      • FatTofu on 19/05/2020 - 21:34

        How many credit points would you lose from such sign-ups?

        • Bullion78 on 20/05/2020 - 02:12

    The mobile base station is just on the roof of the building next to my apartment so I get excellent reception even in the bathroom. Under these circumstances the shaped speed has been very useable for light web browsing/light youtube (up to 720p 30fps) and overnight downloading (Indian youtube premium FTW) so this is an excellent deal for me and will be my primary internet source once the sim gets here. (I used this for a few months in the past before cancelling)

    I’m an existing customer which I was in friends and family plan which now ended. The $10 credit shows up for me if i choose the $50 or $60 plans. What do you guys think?

    • FutureTech on 19/05/2020 - 21:09

      if it shows up it should be safe. I think as long as you are adding a service (not just upgrading an existing service) you should be able to avail of the discount

  • shane2770 on 19/05/2020 - 21:06

    I have 2 of these$15 data Sims already can I contact them to get both discounted. or do I need to cancel and reconnect as a new customer to get the$5 deal

    • FutureTech on 19/05/2020 - 21:09

      why do you need 2?

      • codinghelloworld on 19/05/2020 - 21:24
        +3

        Probably dual WAN. I'm thinking about this too. $10 per month for 2 sims and get unlimited instead of $68 for 500gb from Optus. If test goes well, I would go through this route.

        • freeman on 19/05/2020 - 22:11

          How to do dual Wan with 4g mobile? One go through with USB port in router which is I'm doing now.

            +4

            @freeman: You need 2 4G modem to put 2 sims in. I used Huawei B315, which is cheap on gumtree. These 2 modems connect with router Asus RT-AC68U, this one can be setup to be dual WAN. All of the device clients connect to this router, it has QoS and traffic monitor so you know which device uses data alot and …. limit it :). Most of the time is your kids haha.

            • freeman on 19/05/2020 - 22:33

              @codinghelloworld: That's great idea, but 4g modem is too expensive.

              @codinghelloworld: "These 2 modems connect with router Asus RT-AC68U"

              • How do they connect to the router? Not usb? if so then one is usb2 and one usb 3
              • Will the telstra ZTE broadband modem send internet through the USB port?

              Thanks

              • codinghelloworld on 20/05/2020 - 00:29

                @Oteta: The router has 1 WAN port, however, when you look up in the console, there is a part you can configure dual WAN by:
                - WAN port + USB port, this way you will need a 4g USB dongle.
                - WAN port + LAN port, convert 1 of 4 LAN port to be the second WAN port. This way you need 2 4G modem, like Huawei B315, or B525, etc

                Yes, it can send and receive data through USB port.

        • ballistykx on 20/05/2020 - 02:24

          If you're using 2 modems does this mean your router can get 2 x 1.5Mbps (3Mbps) connections when the data runs out?

          • sicaboy on 20/05/2020 - 09:26

            @ballistykx: Yes. I’m looking for a solution to aggregate dual WAN. There are some firmwares supporting this. Merlin, OpenWRT. But need some tutorial.

          Great idea. I'm going to do the same. I'm currently using the $68 for 500gb service with Optus, will cancel once I get the telstra SIM and use it in the b818 I will have after cancelling.

    • b3au on 19/05/2020 - 21:21

    • DarkOz on 19/05/2020 - 21:40

      We are currently using a Tab S4 and iPad Air 3 both Optus deals with this sim. Kids loved it watching Netflix nonstop.

      • FutureTech on 19/05/2020 - 21:42

        But can it support Netflix with shaped speed though?

        • Chicken feed on 19/05/2020 - 21:47

          Yes. Optus had Netflix unmetered but the quality was below HD resolution on mobile. Easily doable on capped speed.

        • DarkOz on 19/05/2020 - 21:55

          Been using this Sim on a Tab S4 as hotspot and watching Netflix on a 55” TV without any issues. Cartoons are no problem but it takes a few seconds to load normal movies.

          • Spending2Much on 20/05/2020 - 00:58

            @DarkOz: Might use this in an old phone for 4G connection to hotspot and stream Netflix to the bedroom tv….hoping it's fast enough for that when it gets capped.

                  @mudkipz: If you watch a show with a lot of movement then forget about 720p on a TV. The minimum bitrate for an avg 720p video requires about 2,500 kbps.

                    @TomGum: I see. But Telstra 4g generally performs pretty well (obviously location dependent though) and would easily do beyond those speeds? Am I mistaken?

        I don't think so, but that is a bit confusing. During the sign-up process it says "Min cost $5 when you stay connected on the Data Plan Extra Small plan for 1 month. Price may change if the month-to-month plan price changes." So if you only get to keep the credit after 12 months, the minimum cost can't be $5. Also during the sign-up process it makes it clear that you get $10 off with each monthly bill (it's not just $120 off after 12 months).
