Telstra bumps iPhone plans to 6GB!

2010-08-03 Thread Martin Hill

Wa-hey, Telstra is finally getting a clue and giving some pretty good deals on 
larger data packs for the iPhone 4:

• $49 ($400 call allowance) + 1GB data = $58.50
• $49 ($400 call allowance) + 3GB data = $63.50
• $49 ($400 call allowance) + 6GB data = $78.50

I understand they also don't charge extra to enable tethering, so you could use 
the fast speeds of NextG to get excellent wireless internet connectivity for 
your other computers.

This is a lot more tempting than the 500MB plan for $49 (which was 250MB) only 
a short time ago.

IPHONE 4: Telstra bumping plans to 6GB

Dan Warne
03 August 2010

Telstra is again outgunning the competitors with its iPhone 4 plans, offering 
customers upgrades to 6GB allowance for very little extra cost.

A quirk in Telstra's billing system is allowing people to sign up for cheap 
iPhone 4 plans with massive data allowances -- and Telstra says it is perfectly 
OK with it.

The loophole was brought to the attention of one customer, Michael Tatas, by a 
Telstra salesman.

Tatas told APC he was offered the opportunity to get 6GB of data in his plan 
for just $20 on top of his plan fee.

Officially, Telstra advertises its 6GB plan as costing $129. But the loophole 
allows customers to get 6GB on their plan for as little as half that price.

Tatas told APC that Guy was adamant, as was the manager. Lady who had to 
re-enter my plan into the system also said yes.

The explanation he received was that his $79 iPhone Cap plan is split up in 
Telstra's system as $59 for voice and $20 for data – even thought the $59 
represents $750 of call allowance, and the $20 equates to 1.5GB.

The salesman who sold the phone to Telstra simply swapped the $20/1.5GB 
component of the plan over for a $79/6GB data plan, which was also provided at 
a 50% discount as a promotion for iPhone buyers, bringing its cost down to 
$39.50.

Tatas' final plan ended up costing $98.50 per month, which consisted of a $59 
call component (worth $750 in calls) and a $38.50 data component (worth 6GB in 
data).

Whirlpool users also heard about the plans and were able to get similarly 
amazing deals in Telstra shops.

Whirpool user, SCAT01 was able to sign on to a $49 iPhone plan but got 3GB of 
data instead of 500MB for a total of $63.50.

He said Telstra had confirmed to him via several tweets that if customers took 
the standard data pack off the $49 plan they could add other data packs at 50% 
off, providing the following effective rates:

• $49 ($400 call allowance) + 1GB data = $58.50
• $49 ($400 call allowance) + 3GB data = $63.50
• $49 ($400 call allowance) + 6GB data = $78.50
Telstra Group Manager of Corporate Relations, Peter Taylor, said although these 
were not plans Telstra was advertising, they were available to anyone who 
wanted them.

This isn't a standard cap plan from Telstra but instead a plan that has been 
tailored for the customer who has selected a higher data pack, he told APC.

He said the money allocated to data in a plan was one of the most flexible 
parts of a plan and if anyone who signed up for an iPhone last week wanted to 
tweak their plan to replace their plan included data allowance with a higher 
data pack at 50% off the price, they could go into a Telstra shop and that 
could be arranged.

Although most people wouldn't know they could negotiate with carriers on their 
plans, Taylor said it's a reminder to take the time to talk with Telstra about 
how you will use your mobile so we can find the most appropriate plan.

For high data users – such as people who want to use their iPhone as a tethered 
mobile modem, this makes Telstra the cheapest network by far for data – even 
though it is also the fastest network with the broadest coverage.

Optus, which has traditionally been highly aggressive with its iPhone plan 
pricing, charges $129 for a 6GB plan. Virgin Mobile has 3GB per month as its 
maximum plan at $69, and Vodafone has a maximum of 3GBon its $99 plan. Three is 
offering a maximum of 2GB data on its $79 plan.

Telstra's second wave of iPhone 4s goes on sale at Telstra stores tomorrow – 
Wednesday.

Hi Mart,

this appears to be only an introductory offer that expires in 1 November. Shame.

The 6Gb costs $129 per month and includes $1500 of calls

No, the end of that para in the Telstra conditions states:
…. Bonus data allowance applies for the full term of the customer's eligible 
contract plan. If the customer's eligible contract plan is cancelled, the bonus 
offer will cease to apply.

It seems the _offer_ ceases on the 1st November (unless extended by Telstra)

2010-08-03 Thread Martin Hill

Ha! Peter beat me to it,  :-)

But this is what I was going to say:

On the contrary, this is what the fine print on that very sameTelstra page says:

Bonus data allowance applies for the full term of the customer's eligible 
contract plan.

So the only thing that finishes on Nov 1 is the ability to sign-up unless 
extended by Telstra.

So, as long as you sign up before Nov 1, you get to stay on the larger data 
plan till the end of your 2 year contract.

Sweet.

Re: Telstra Announces iPhone Pricing

2008-06-30 Thread Martin Hill

Looks like the interest has brought down the Telstra mobile website(!)

$30 per month 2 year contract:  upfront cost of
- $279 for the 8GB iPhone model
- $399 for the 16GB iPhone model

$80 per month  2 year contract:
- 8GB iPhone  free

$100 per month  2 year contract:
- 16GB iPhone free

All plans include free Wi-Fi access at Telstra hotspots

Considering Telstra's website still says their cheapest NextG plan is  
$49 per month, the $30 per month deal is impressive.  However, i think  
I've found out how much extra they charge for data:

- $5 per month = 5MB of data!!!
- $29 per month = 80MB of data

$1 per MB excess data charges

 bloomin heck, the highway robbers - that's as bad as they charged  
for GPRS.   Here's hoping they actually update these prices for the  
iPhone  :-(


Unfortunately it looks like Telstra NextG may be the only network in  
Australia supporting full 3G speeds of the iPhone outside of metro  
areas (as Neil mentioned),  not to mention Telstra’s wider coverage  
and faster NextG network.  damn.


CAUDIT is apparently in the process of negotiating special corporate  
plans with Optus (and maybe Telstra) so hopefully those of us at the  
various universities around Australia will be able to get iPhones on  
nice cheap corporate plans.

Re: Telstra and iPhone

2008-06-12 Thread Shay Telfer

Hi...

Like Apple, Telstra are unlikely to comment on future plans that are 
important to their business, and they're unlikely to let their 
frontline helpdesk people do it either.


Amongst other things they have to work out how to support visual 
voicemail and what they're doing about the fact that they already 
have a music store that's not compatible with the iPhone :).


Why rush an announcement when they can watch the Optus/Vodafone 
feeding frenzy whilst they both try to establish their pricing 
structure? Then they can price theirs accordingly.

I'm sure you'll be able to get an iPhone on Telstra (yes, they know 
what they are) Probably the longer you wait the better plan you'll be 
able to get!


Have fun,
Shay (Anyone else sick of reply-to-list yet?)

 Hi,

 I contacted Telstra by e-mail today to ask whether Telstra was going
 to be iPhone friendly. I referenced a story in today's Australian.
