Anyone else in Melbourne been having a lot of mobile data drop out issues in Melbourne during Covid19? Are any of the other Telcos fairing any better?

  - mistericho on 07/09/2020 - 18:47
    
    yes. actually downgraded plan by removing addons as hardly use mobile data. Telstra and co should intro lower plans as lockdown continues. although I’ve updated to 100/40 nbn to compensate being home

  No issues with the telcos I've been using, all on the Optus network.
  
  Just sounds like Telstra buggering something up yet again. That sucks.

  Was with Telstra and it was unusable in the afternoons.
  Have switched to Vodafone and speeds are much faster during peak periods.
  Probably less congestion on their network because no one is with Vodafone.
  But fair warning, while they are cheaper, they were an absolute pain to deal with.
  - Spending2Much on 07/09/2020 - 20:21
    
    This. The same. Telstra speed is soooo slow, that I switch to my Vodafone Sim card to get faster speeds. Prob due to sheer number of people on Telstra. Unfortunately, Vodafone doesn't work out of town, so have to have two sim cards.

$1287 for a pixel 4a and an average plan over 12 months. What's the value in these deals when the plans are so expensive
- KSS on 07/09/2020 - 19:06
  
  Thanks for working this out :)
  I got lucky and got the Pixel 2XL for free on the $59/mth ($49 when I asked later on Telstra chat) on a 2 year contract
  
  That was almost 3 years ago…
  
  Do 2 year contracts still exist? I really don't see the point in changing handsets yearly as the tech isn't really groundbreaking anymore year on year
  - ilostnemo on 07/09/2020 - 19:26
    
    This was a great deal
    
    I was working at Telstra at the time and a customer walked in with a Pixel 2XL he had just bought from JB and wanted to be put in the $59 plan.
    
    I told him to refund the phone and he said he wasn’t going to fall for Telstra’s tricks.
    
    Hmmm
  - onlinepred on 07/09/2020 - 20:37
    
    I would get the pixel 4a for $599 and try for pre paid 365 days for $300 max over 24 months. Better deal than the telstra one and more data.

Hard to recommend the $99 plan as I got $500 jb gift card around this time last year on the $65/12 months plan.

  I would agree but after Covid, we're unlikely to get back to the same prices.

Sorry, it was a deal when the $500 credit was available on the $65 plan - this is just expensive.

I am paying $35 for 55g data with $200 JB voucher. These deals are getting more expensive.

IIRC prices have gone up because Telstra is making people pay for 5G access upfront.

Whereas in the last financial year, you could choose to subscribe to it if you wanted 5G access.

  It’s criminal if that’s the case as they cover SFA. They don’t even cover the whole of the CBD in Perth.
  - OverBought on 07/09/2020 - 19:35
    
    Totally agree. They must have had hardly any 5G subscribers and panicked that no one was gonna pay for their 5G equipment investment.
    
    Shame though, because I was hoping for that $55/month for 80GB data deal again.
    - Spending2Much on 07/09/2020 - 20:26
      
      I'm paying $45 month,for 80gb.
      
      I was forced to pay an extra $5 a month, since last month, absolutely can't get out of it(was $40 month before) we don't have 5G, infact we don't even have a fast download.
      I regularly switch to my Vodafone Sim to get faster data speed, unfortunately, outside of town centre, Vodafone doesn't work…neither does Optus.
      So I'm forced to stay with Telstra

Am I missing something? How is this a deal? No phone?
- djthornton on 07/09/2020 - 20:13
  
  It might not be an amazing deal but that hardly makes it worth a neg… $500 voucher is still something even on a somewhat overpriced plan.

    Most $50 plans are on par, if not, better than the $99 one. One could get that and save $500 a year to shop anywhere.
ColourWolf on 07/09/2020 - 20:33

Unless you need the extra data this is not a good deal.
If you don't need a phone and can live with less data, it's better to go prepaid.

If you need a phone then it is better to wait for a deal that includes the phone you want.
For example, this time last year I signed up to the Note 10+ on the $65 per month over 12 months. The up front cost for the phone was $999, which is a $800 discount off the phone. Much better than the $300 voucher offered here on the slightly inflated equivalent $69 per month plan.

  Last time I went with the $500 port in deal, I literally bought a $2 sim from coles, activated it and then walked into JB. Then on Telstra chat got them to give me the port in $10 credit, swap the number over to the new plan and cancel the old plan. No need to wait for port in/ port out then.
  - F1Maniac on 08/09/2020 - 22:03
    
    Do you mind sharing a bit more detail? Im in a situation where my current telstra phone is not on a contract and this would be ideal if seamless as youve mentioned it.
    
    Did you port the coles number into the samr account where you had the non contracted phone? What did you have to ask the rep @ telstra to port numbers between service?
    - stylsh on 11/10/2020 - 15:29
      
      Sorry, I completely missed this reply.
      
      I ported the number to the same account when the JB hifi staff asked if I already had a telstra account. When I go home, I went on the online Telstra chat and asked them for the $10 credit. Then I told them that I want to transfer the old number to the new plan. Then cancel the old plan.
      
      The chat with the rep below.
      
      Me: Now not sure if this is possible. I want to get rid of the old plan and move that number to this
      new plan
      16:39, Nov 27
      Telstra rep: What do you mean, what mobile number you wish to use/
      16:39, Nov 27
      16:39, Nov 27
      Me: The one you sent the verification code to.
      16:39, Nov 27
      16:41, Nov 27
      Telstra Rep: So you wish to cancel that plan?
      16:41, Nov 27
      16:41, Nov 27
      Me: So i guess it's cancelling the old $39 plan and moving the number (xxxx) from that
      plan to this new $65 plan
      16:41, Nov 27
      16:42, Nov 27
      Telstra Rep: Correct, you wish to continue with that process?
      16:42, Nov 27
      16:43, Nov 27
      Me: yes

      16:47, Nov 27
      16:48, Nov 27
      Rep: I will suggest making these changes at the end of the cycle instead to make sure that we have
      a minimal charge for the prorated amount as the new number will start on the beginning of the cycle.

      16:49, Nov 27
      16:49, Nov 27
      Me: Ok so it will be done on the 30th?
      16:49, Nov 27

      Rep: Yes, mate, I would suggest for you to reach out to us on the 29th since we cannot schedule
      the change.

    Glad it worked out for you. Last time I tried a similar approach and took 3 months for Telstra to process.
    Transferring a number to Telstra (Not an Issue)
    Transferring or swapping numbers from a current Telstra plan to a another Telstra Plan (ie: the One JB Signed Me up for), could not find anyone who knew how to do this.
    First 2 months, cycling through different chat engineers, last month found someone but had to complete PDF forms, print and take into a Telstra Office with Proof of ID.
    
    I can't even find Telstra Chat anymore, so can only imagine the process will be even more difficult now.
    Found this Messaging service though;
    https://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/sim-only-plans#lp:d…
    
    I am thinking porting to a $30 Vodafone pre-paid (currently $12 on-line) prior to porting to Telstra.
    
    I got the $500 voucher last year on a $6x something plan, so going to wait for another one. $99 is too much. I want to be prepared.

This was posted 3 years 7 months 13 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
