    Also great for buying things from Google Play. Can activate under simplicity or encore, and get the $30 to use for purchasing apps.

    Pretty much a 66% discount off the whole Play Store.

    • illumination on 02/04/2013 - 20:20

      Can activate it under long life too and that gives you 6 months to buy apps - this is what I'm doing.

      • kulprit on 02/04/2013 - 20:24

        Thanks ilumination, didn't realise long life would work.

      • overlook on 02/04/2013 - 21:01

        you can activate long life and still buy apps?? which plan?

        • IMBI3 on 02/04/2013 - 21:01

          the plan is called long life

    • c0balt on 02/04/2013 - 23:36

      What process is required to turn these pre-paid sims into Google Play credit? If I buy 2 of the starter packs, can I put both $30 credits into my pre-existing Google account?

      • Geewhizz on 03/04/2013 - 08:03
        +1

        You'll have to do credit me-2-u . With prepaid there's a $10 a day limit, so you'd need to do it over 3 days, and there's a 25cent fee every time you do it, so you'd only end up with $29 from each of them.

        <MOD> See correction below

          Ahh so there is no point buying these if I have an Optus account? I can't just activate the sim card under long-life, pop it in to buy $30 of apps to my Google account and then put my Optus sim back in?

        • Pledge on 03/04/2013 - 12:16
          +2

          It doesn't matter which sim card you use or which network you're with. The Google Apps are tied to your Google account so as long as you use the same Google account it won't matter.

        • antler on 03/04/2013 - 12:48

          There shouldn't be a problem doing it that way as well :-)

        • illumination on 03/04/2013 - 13:52
          +2

          @c0balt that is what I'm doing and yes it absolutely works. I just take out my normal SIM and put in the Telstra SIM when I want to buy an app.. and then put my normal SIM back in. You get to choose "bill my telstra account" when you pay for an app instead of the normal credit card stuff, but that option only appears when your Telstra SIM is inserted (and for a few mins after you swap back sometimes)

        • neonlight on 03/04/2013 - 15:40

          You mean this? http://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/General-Mobiles/Credit…

          $15 each time and 25cents charge each time

          But there's no place to transfer this to Google Play. Please advise what instructions we should follow

          Cool, thanks. I'll be getting a few of the deals then. I don't know why someone negged my earlier post. I was asking a question which lead to your your clarification which no doubt will help people out.

        • Geewhizz on 16/04/2013 - 06:01

          My apologies people, I obviously misread the post I was responding to and simply saw "into my pre-existing account"

          All I know is that you CAN use up to $5 of your credit at a time for purchases in the Google store. As for Google Play accounts (with an accumulative balance) I haven't heard of them I'm sorry.

          Again, my apologies if my post has mislead anyone. I clearly shouldn't post in the morning before I've had my coffee fix

        • Geewhizz on 17/04/2013 - 05:53

          Make that up to $20 that you can use at a time. (Thanks ozhunter)

    How do you register for iPad? I thought you had to get the iPad Starter Kit. That's what I got from Big W a few weeks ago.

  • MATTDAMON on 02/04/2013 - 21:42

    When registering the sim just mention its for an ipad, simple as that.

    if you activate it via the net there is a selection screen for it. All it does is turn the sim card into a data only.

    • parker2004au on 03/04/2013 - 12:28

      Probably a stupid question but do you get $30 to use on the play store as well as the data?

    • antler on 03/04/2013 - 12:50

      I believe they do IMEI checks on the device. So, you may end up with a cancelled card after a bit.

      • MATTDAMON on 03/04/2013 - 13:59

        I don't think so, I've run through around 20 of these sims now using them on a 4g wifi modem without issue.

        • cdaddy on 03/04/2013 - 14:14

          Can't you only register like 5 sims to your name/account?

        • MATTDAMON on 03/04/2013 - 14:50

          I have yet to encounter this issue. Ive got an account already with telstra though.

        • robo73 on 04/04/2013 - 10:49

          I just went throu all the options (handset, wireless broadband and tablet)on the Telstra online activating system (just before the final click to really activate) and could not see anything about iPad with 3Gb. I could see other offers like long life and something that has 700 MB … I then have to activate via live chat and get 3gb 30 days for iPad.

          I donnt have an iPad right now, can i just put it into my phone to do the account setting …ect??

        • antler on 04/04/2013 - 15:00

          You have to call through. The online system doesn't work for this.

    For the people buying it for their iPads, if you don't have an android device to buy apps for, think about giving it to someone who does.

    Otherwise that $30 is pretty much wasted at the end of 30 days.

    • overlook on 02/04/2013 - 23:35

      what?

    • alfamale87 on 03/04/2013 - 00:09

      ??? So do you get data & $30 'credit' to use at play store??

    • peter05 on 03/04/2013 - 02:04
      +1

      You can't do that with the ipad plan because you don't actually receive any money on your account. You just get the 3gb. With encore and other voice plans it works because you receive the dollar amount

      • snvl on 03/04/2013 - 06:46
        +1

        I think you can, but it will reduce the 3gb. Lets say you spend $10 on playstore you will have only 2gb left.

        • PowerB on 03/04/2013 - 10:31

  • [Deactivated] on 05/04/2013 - 19:26

    Deal does not specify which stores have this. Where is it specified what is classified as a "Superstore" and what is not, I can not find any documentation on their website about what a Superstore is. Wasted my time going to a fairly large Coles to find that they don't even have SIM cards at all. I will go to Auspost instead. Negging the deal because it's not a deal if you don't know where to go.

    • snappy1234 on 05/04/2013 - 19:42

      I agree somewhat there Smeg…but before the internet gave us these bargains you got what you were given by your local store.

      O.P. (Ryan) must work or live in the catchment area of a superstore. (to receive a flyer/catalogue)

      I actually have a Superstore around 10k from me but i would not bother just for a Sim.

    • whitenite on 05/04/2013 - 19:56

      Did you try Google? Like you, I went to the nearest Coles, and they didn't have the Starter pack. Came back, googled & found a superstore not too far away, bought 4 packs.

      No need to neg just becos you can't find the right store!

        https://www.google.com.au/search?q=Coles+Superstores
        https://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=List+of+Co…

        To me, a "Deal" is the "Deal" as it is posted on OzBargain. I am not negging Coles. I am not negging the Coles Catalogue. I am negging the "Deal" posted in the "Deals" section of OzBargain with all that I can see in front of me on OzBargain (at the time I originally saw the deal and decided I will make a trip to Coles for it), there were not any comments that could bring this into question, and it is the "Neg" function which serves as a warning to others to be careful of so that these things are noticed)

        At a first glance and the term "Superstore" not using this term themselves to denote a particular brand (unlike for example "Coles Express" or "Coles Central" and Dick Smith who used to have "Powerhouse"), and as such it could reasonably be assumed that the OP simply used the term "Superstore" to refer to a "Supermarket", as the words sound very similar.

        It usually helps when posting deals from a catalogue that you check to see if it makes mention of any specific conditions that might be on the front or back of the catalogue or on the same page, or even better post a link to the online version.

          There are a few around http://imgur.com/a/QNKW4 but if I was posting a deal about one I would be damn sure to specify that it is for Coles CENTRAL only not normal Coles as I know that they are not ubiquous.

    • tonester on 05/04/2013 - 20:47

        As I said, (at the time I originally saw the deal and decided I will make a trip to Coles for it), there were not any comments that could bring this into question

        Your first example link is a good example, this is how to post a catalogue deal:
        http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/62400/9984/001.jpg
        Notice the conditions and specific stores at the bottom?

        This is how NOT to post a catalogue deal:
        http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/94456/15702/img_2013040…
        Notice how there are NO conditions shown. If there are no conditions shown it should be assumed that the OzBargainer OP has already looked for any conditions on the catalogue and decided that none are noteworthy to include in the picture or mention in the post.
