the one year unlimited deal for $365 has been posted before, but the phone for $1 extra is a new offer since yesterday.

could always sell the phone on ebay for $100 to $150 if you don't want it, giving you a year unlimited tariff for as low as $200 if you're lucky.

The buy now through the link doesn't seem to have the option for phone and recharge in the dropdown box, however I have just phoned redbull and they promised to fix it.

I have tried red bull since the last 2 months for $39 offer in October, and have had no issues with the vodafone reception, recently in Melbourne got 6Mb down and 2Mb upload speed. iphone data settings can be downloaded from unlockit.co.nz

    Sounds like a really good deal if you can offload the ChaCha
    Do you know if the phone will have the redbull logo on it?

  • bindods on 02/01/2012 - 15:28

    not sure about logo but looking at their twitter feed there is a charge to unlock it: http://twitter.com/redbullmobileau

    If it's with Vodafone then unlocking should be done for free via their website.

      Surely Vodaphone wouldn't unlock another companies subsidised mobiles for Free?

  • [Deactivated] on 02/01/2012 - 15:37

    this deal still works out a $31 per month. The phone is pretty crap so its only good if you want unlimited calls and have a better phone to use it with.

    • bindods on 02/01/2012 - 15:44

      people are paying the $31 a month (or $1 a day) for the tarriff alone on this network, so with the phone free it is a better offer. it also includes 1300/1800 unlike the other "unlimited" tarriffs

  • WatchNerd on 02/01/2012 - 15:45

    The phone is $200 at Dick Smith on Vodafone pre-paid.

  • blud on 02/01/2012 - 16:22

    this seems like a good deal

    anyone know if i can use my existing number?

    • bindods on 02/01/2012 - 16:28

      yes you can port any other network number into redbull. I asked the rep on the phone if it is open to existing customers, she said it can't be applied directly, but your current redbull number could be transferred to the new sim card once it is activated

  • [Deactivated] on 02/01/2012 - 16:36

    I'm currently with redbull, and i pay 40 a month of whatever it is with the 4GB of data. The only thing i don't like about it is when i try and use wifi hotspot and connect with my playstation it connects as Nat 3, and drops out after a while. When i used to be with vodafone wifi hotspot would work fine, connect as Nat 2 and be generally pretty reliable for using on my ps3.

    Also redbull had an offer last month if you recharged with the access 30 plan, you get one month free access. $40 for 2 months, not sure if thats still on, but its the only reason i decided to stay with them for another 2 months. Its still vodafone, still slow speeds and call reception not awesome but better than it was in my area. As for the deal itself, i think its a pretty good deal, apart from being on vodafone!

  • SuperJew on 02/01/2012 - 16:53

    They have not fixed the payment issue and there is no mention of the phone when you go to pay…still charges $365. Does anyone know if the phone is locked in?

    • [Deactivated] on 02/01/2012 - 18:27

      Then there's a drop to box to add the phone for $1..

  • [Deactivated] on 02/01/2012 - 17:41

    I found this online not sure if will work on not but they accept pay pal so maybe worth a shot

  • mrbombastic on 02/01/2012 - 18:17

    Seems very good. I need a new plan for my SGS2.

  • tdw on 02/01/2012 - 18:20

    it has appeared on the order page now: https://secure.redbullmobile.com.au/OrderForm/SIMPackOffer.a…

  • [Deactivated] on 02/01/2012 - 18:26

    This is a much better deal

    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/56674

    $12.60 per 45 days ( Or $8.40 per month )with $500 credit and 5GB data

    Use the spare $22.60 per month saved to get a half decent prepaid phone which isnt the HTC Cha Cha

    • bindods on 02/01/2012 - 20:00

      I guess this one is better for people who don't want the hassle of having to recharge every month or two, worry about flag falls and how many minutes of call time $500 is worth. Also the woolworths offer might have gone after 2 mths, this is for a year

      • casval on 02/01/2012 - 22:36
        +2

        The Woolworths rates are steep! 89c/min + 39c flag fall! The only saving grace is the 5gb inclusion. But $2/mb if you go past the included data. Pretty sure they're 10mb blocks as well.

        That works out to 10-12min a day for calls to (50/50) any/optus network.

        If you make a lot of calls, the $1 a day for this deal is awesome.

    • Lukian on 03/01/2012 - 00:49

      How do you recharge at the half price rate?

    Shame they use the Vodafone network.

  • samehada on 02/01/2012 - 19:34

    How to order the HTC ChaCha? I couldn't see it in the order page, only the SIM Starter Kit + Access 365 for $365.

  • 777 on 02/01/2012 - 21:55

    is it free to call from voda/three to redB ?

    • tendliya on 02/01/2012 - 22:28

      Isnt it umlimited calls to any australian mobile?

      • Fungus on 02/01/2012 - 22:33

    Now you'd think they'd throw in a pack of energy drinks to sweeten the deal.

    • Lukian on 03/01/2012 - 00:49

      pallet please.

  • apna235 on 02/01/2012 - 22:59

    Does anyone know if they offer a micro sim as well?

    • tdw on 02/01/2012 - 23:27

      doesn't look like it. i read the Help & Support page for iPhone - http://www.redbullmobile.com.au/pre-paid/help-support/handse… - and it says "Until we can provide micro SIM cards this solution will only be suitable for the iPhone 3GS"

      • epicaricacy on 03/01/2012 - 01:22

        You can easily cut a regular sim down to a micro. I did it with a tpg one my wife's iphone. There are templates u can download and video instructions all over. Scary, but not actually hard! Worked a treat.

        • tdw on 03/01/2012 - 01:27

          steady hands a prerequisite? ;)

      • epicaricacy on 03/01/2012 - 16:46

        A really good sharp knife, and a good - preferably metal - ruler. Was simpler than I thought - although I admit to testing it on an old sim first!

  • KBZ on 02/01/2012 - 23:12

    Does this include international SMS? I know calls are obviously no.

    • tdw on 02/01/2012 - 23:29

      you'd have to buy a "bolt on pack"

      • shawn_low on 03/01/2012 - 10:06

        Good deal.

        With 5GB of data, just use Viber for calls or Whatsapp (and Viber) for sending international messages!

          you still require the other end to had the same apps to receive your msgs

  • wildstone on 03/01/2012 - 10:44

    Can I know what is being listed on the tax invoice? Reason I ask is I would like to claim gst back as I am traveling.

  • [Deactivated] on 03/01/2012 - 14:19

    AWESOME deal, shame the data is slow2load (vodafone)

  • aradian on 06/01/2012 - 03:28

    Does the free unlimited Vodafone to Vodafone calls on the $30 recharge include VMNO numbers on the Vodafone network such as Hello Mobile, Red Bull Mobile, Crazy Johns, PennyTel etc or is it only to retail Vodafone branded sim cards?

    • illumination on 07/01/2012 - 22:57

      Hm wow good question. I'm curious too.

  • illumination on 07/01/2012 - 23:09

    Awesome price.

  • usman6062 on 18/01/2012 - 14:27

    I think its a good deal. My plan is going to finish in march. I shall buy it then.

    • bindods on 18/01/2012 - 14:33

      Don't leave it too late expires end of feb

  • aradian on 18/01/2012 - 16:02

    Just to confirm the rumours above. I unlocked the HTC ChaCha sucessfully for free at http://www.vodafone.com.au/unlock using an amaysim sim card that uses the optus network.

  • mangew on 20/02/2012 - 02:31

    Is there any promo code for checkout?
