          Thanks - will give it a go.
          Have about $18 real credit left on a $10 Starter Pack SIM expiring on 19th (set up as a "Pre-Paid Micro-SIM for Apple iPad" for 3GB of data) & hoping to transfer that to this SIM on 18th for 2 weeks & then transfer onto another one of those $10 SIMs when I activate it 1 June. The things I do to save money!

          No Worries Mate.

        • Bargains on top of Bargains!
          I chatted online with Telstra & got them to transfer all my remaining credit ($18.90 of $30 Starter Pack bought at PO for $10) without any fee to the $10 Bonus Credit SIM with this deal - which extended that 14 day free SIM to 31 days & $29.90 total credit! (Need to use Bonus Credit within 14d for standard calls & text.) Transfer was somehow counted as a $20 recharge, so now get 15c calls with no flagfall & 10c/MB data on Simplicity plan!!

          Will then transfer remaining full credit (not Bonus) to next SIM to add credit & extend time (if added near expiry date), and so on accumulating credit for later use / buy apps. Usually a limit of $10/day transfer & 25c fee per transfer with credit2u.

          Handy Tip: "If you want to extend the pre-paid credit account balance expiry for your Telstra Pre-Paid Mobile Broadband service, you can try to do so by regularly performing a CreditMe2U transfer immediately prior to credit expiry, and pushing back the expiry date by 13 or 14 days at each turn" (same with phone service)

  • Tech illiterate me wonders why people need to unlock from TLS? I bought this, but haven't moved on it as yet. Current use a Voda locked phone.

      Flexibility. You can easily change to a service with better deal. (I posted a $3.20 45day Woolies Mobile deal last year.)

      But if you are happy with Telstra you can forget unlocking. I have taken Telstra to the TIO due to so many mistakes (my $100 prepaid credit was removed as Telstra accused me of fraud - it was their data entry error. After days complaining, they agreed to fix their mistake but denied they had accused me of fraud as their record had been lost. Instead T removed a further $170 credit & disconnected my service. After Kevin Rudd intervened, Telstra attempted to give my account with personalised number away.
      The TIO believed I had authorized all Telstra's mistakes as Telstra failed to provide all records & claimed I had connected the handset the day after Telstra records show I started complaining (4 weeks after connected)!! So I hate Telstra.)

      I have been with Vodafone for years. But my current remote location only has limited Telstra coverage. Unlocking the handset means I can pop in a local SIM when traveling overseas or one that works in my current location . Try Vodafone's unlock site to unlock free. Has worked every time with many phones & mobile broadband modems.

  • Or, maybe just a Coles buyer as it was in all their special for about a fortnight.

    Did anyone get their bonus points yet with the Coles purchase?

    Looking at my flybuys account online I havent got anything.

      I haven't yet. I think you get the points for activating the sim, which I've done.
