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).

      Check all your email addresses knowed to Telstra because mine went to an email address different to the one I signed up with. I think they have monkies working in the back office.

      • triviums on 24/05/2020 - 22:12

        Thanks for sharing. I would have never found the emails if you hadn't told me to look.

      • twiz911 on 24/05/2020 - 23:08

        I had the same! They emailed me on the email address I supplied when I used to have boost not the email I signed up for this SIM on. Very strange. Hope that means we still qualify for discount/cashback and they don't consider us current customers?

        • vhfyagi on 25/05/2020 - 12:48

          Cashback is from cashrewards, not Telstra. As long as you got tracked with $45 pending in your account, I can't see any problem you won't get it confirmed later.

              All our personal and small business post-paid mobile and mobile broadband customers can register for an extra 25GB of data at no extra charge - to use in Australia within 30 days if they register by 30 June 2020. You can register via the My Telstra app and the data will be available within 48 hours. We’ll send you an SMS when it’s been applied. The data will expire after 30 days but you can apply for another 25GB of data up until 30 June 2020.

              Please note mobile broadband customers will not receive an SMS. You won’t see the extra data on your bill, but it will appear in your app usage information.

        Nope. Just the ‘bill estimate’ and CIS email.

        • freeman on 26/05/2020 - 11:58

                  @GPreet: Thanks. Looks like there is a high chance telstra may mess up the deal. But at this stage the best way is to wait for the first bill. I have original order confirmation which shows $10 monthly credit so will dispute the bill if the discount is not applied.

          • trisnadi on 26/05/2020 - 16:07

            @vandelay: just $15 per month. I reckon the bill estimate doesn't include any promotional offer. The $10 off should be in the actual bill. It's there in the original order confirmation email under "Your discounts"

          • AssociatedTomGum @ Telstra on 26/05/2020 - 15:01

            @Heybargain: But it’s interesting to see someone above received an estimate that includes the discount while everyone else’s is missing.

          • Apollo-Fc on 26/05/2020 - 17:30

            @Heybargain: Is that mean we have to pay full amount of $15 for the first month？

              @Apollo-Fc: I would definitely dispute it if I have to pay $15 for the first months. I have order confirmation email clearly said $10 monthly credit, and what I have to pay is $5 per month for first 12 months, then $15 after.

  • ISO9002 on 26/05/2020 - 13:45

    Just received a sms telling me to check my email, and there are two emails from Telstra, one is email verification, one is email bill activation.

    • FrugalNotStingy on 26/05/2020 - 14:26
      +1

      Got the email verification email last Thursday but the verification link didn’t work and it failed to verify.

      • vhfyagi on 26/05/2020 - 20:07

        Did you have telstra ID setup in the past? I also can't verify my email by clicking the link in the email. But I tried my old telstra ID login, which has the same email address to sign up this plan, it works fine. I can add the account number into my old telstra ID setup so all good to go. I think telstra tried to match your sign up email with the telstra ID in their system. So if you used to have telstra ID setup before, and you signed up this plan with the same email address, then you are automatically verified, so don't need to verify the email address again (probably that is the error message saying can't verify). This is just system generated verification email.

        • FrugalNotStingy on 27/05/2020 - 20:12

          Nah, I didn’t have a Telstra ID before and maybe that also caused the failed email verification as they didn’t have my email address on their system as a customer.

          I finally got my Telstra ID setup after receiving my sim today. The system led me through hoops in order to successfully set it up. I proceeded to have my Telstra ID sign up on the sign up page. All was smooth sailing until the final step where it says they have sent me a final registration email and I just need to click on the email to complete the registration.

          I clicked on the link in the complete registration email, instead of confirming me that they have verified me, the link took me to a change password page. I found it strange as I had just already chose a password in one of the setup steps but I thought, OK, let’s change my password again if that is all it is needed to complete the registration. Then I got a change password error as the system DID NOT let me change my password because my Telstra ID wasn’t completely set up.

          I thought it was a mistake so I went back to the final step tab and click on the send complete registration email button again and they sent me the same email containing the change password link.

          I tried six or seven times clicking on the resend email link, changing my password then I gave up. I then went to log in on the myTelstra login page and unsurprisingly it didn’t let me logon as I didn’t finish the complete registration step. I was ready to call and have it sorted out but I tried once more and went to the sign up page again to hoping to repeat the sign up process and the page told me that I have already tried to sign up before and need to click on the complete registration link in the complete registration email. I thought WTF?? Then I noticed a resend complete registration email button. I clicked on it and it sent me another complete registration email. I clicked on the link in the email and voila! My Telstra ID is setup successfully.

          I remember I have set up Telstra ID with my folks’ account before and it wasn’t like this. Did Telstra outsource its business processes at the moment? It seems they can’t get anything right.

          • vhfyagi on 27/05/2020 - 20:28

            @FrugalNotStingy: Good to hear you finally set it up. I used to be long time Telstra pre-paid customer, my experience is their account (or ID they call it now) setup is always hit and miss. My account setup was done by 24x7 chat as the system at that time kept saying can't find my account number.

  • Zander46 on 26/05/2020 - 18:38

    received my sim card in the mail today (the startrack bag seemed excessive), but i'm not sure what to do now…
    I've so far received 4 emails from them:

    • "Email bill activation" which had my account number
      -"important information about your plan." which had my mobile number, but there is no mention of the $10 discount
      -"Your plan details on a page" just generic info about all the plans they offer
      -"Here's an estimate for your order" where it states that the minimum first month cost is $15.50 and the minimum ongoing monthly cost is $15.00. Still no mention of the $10 per month discount… :/

    I've also tried activating the sim online, and also tried registering for a Telstra ID with my account number and also with my mobile number, but both don't work.

    anyone been able to use thier sim yet?

    • FrugalNotStingy on 26/05/2020 - 19:09

      I have received the email informing my data sim number just then and it also doesn’t mention the $10 discount.

    • AssociatedTomGum @ Telstra on 26/05/2020 - 19:15

      This is just a guess but… I suspect your order may have had an issue or cancelled at some stage. Best to call Telstra and seek assistance. You can call 13 22 00.

      • Zander46 on 26/05/2020 - 20:24

        I tried registering again for my Telstra ID and it worked this time. seems to all be working now! Just hope the $10 discount appears in my bill..

          Ahh great news.

    • vhfyagi on 26/05/2020 - 20:15

      @Zander46: I got same emails as yours, plus one order confirmation email (1st) and one email address verification email (2nd). $10 discount was only mentioned in the order confirmation email, not shown in other emails at all. I received the sim this morning, and it is already activated. I was able to add my account number to my old Telstra ID setup today. A few days ago I tried to add it after I know the account number but not successful. So I think once your sim is activated then you can register telstra ID with account number.

  • aiyoyo on 26/05/2020 - 21:01

Does anyone know if someone on a the $5 sim deal as personal customer are able to transfer over to business as sole trader abn same name and retain the $10 discount?

  • YesPleaseThankYou on 27/05/2020 - 16:23

    I received my eSIM today. Consistent with the sentiments of others, it's certainly overkill sending these via courier. The eSIM, of course, could have been emailed, if Telstra optimised its processes.

    However, as I want to keep eSIM for my main number, I'll be going into a Telstra shop tomorrow to get a physical SIM. I have retained the eSIM QR code for potential future use.

    With eSIM on my main number, if my phone is ever lost or stolen, the holder of the phone will be unable to remove or deactivate the eSIM, thus continuing to allow the phone to be tracked or erased etc.

    • fozzie on 27/05/2020 - 17:09
      +1

      I think you might be wrong. The esim you have will be erased. You can’t have a physical sim and esim with the same number at the same time.

      • YesPleaseThankYou on 27/05/2020 - 17:13

        If the Telstra number has already been allocated to the eSIM, then once I switch to the physical SIM, you are correct in saying that the eSIM cannot later be activated again.

        However, if the number has not been allocated, then the eSIM package can be used later (just like a blank physical SIM).

        I do suspect that the number is allocated to the eSIM.

  • kodoq on 27/05/2020 - 18:24

    I received my SIM today, after receiving no correspondence besides the original order email.
    I've put the SIM in a device but is sos only/no signal yet. So maybe it'll activate soon?

    Got my SIM 2day also..

    No CR from Telstra in my CR account, gonna lodge a claim but highly doubtful with the track record of Cashrewards/Shopback for failed tracking.. They will just send the usual script blaming the end user…

      I'm fairly new to Cashrewards. I'm genuinely curious, do you think that Cashrewards scams its users out of rebates?

      I enter those 'deals' in good faith and expect Cashrewards to keep its part of the bargain.

      If there's a pattern to this, I'll complain to the ACCC.

        After querying why the offer had not tracked through to my Cashrewards, I received the following response:

        Thank you for reaching out to our team regarding this transaction that you’ve made with Telstra Mobile. I hope you are keeping safe.

        I'm sorry to see that Telstra Mobile has not automatically tracked into your Cashrewards account and I have now manually added this transaction. We accepted the documents that you provided and submitted an enquiry with the store for the eligibility of cashback. (excluding GST, taxes, vouchers or shipping as per the Cashback Tips on each store page).

        There is nothing more that you need to do, and this transaction is now showing as pending in your Cashrewards account.

        Any transaction that we query with stores can take between 30-90 days to resolve as the store needs to ensure the cooling off period has elapsed, your purchase has not been returned or refunded, and that their analytics attribute the sale to Cashrewards.

        Please disregard the Estimated Approval time frame listed against this transaction as this does not apply when querying a transaction with a store.

        Thank you for shopping with Cashrewards when you shop online. Wishing your a great week.

        I can confirm that the transaction is now showing in Cashrewards. Let's see how this transpires!
