Telstra bolsters its mobile plans with additional data and a bonus 6-month subscription of Foxtel's streaming video service, Presto under the Mobile Accelerate Plan and Business Easy Share Plan, said the company in a recent statement. From the 9th of April, Telstra's new customers signing up on its Mobile Accelerate Plans along with a new handset, will be eligible to boost their data allowance.
According to Telstra, depending on the plan level chosen by the customer, they will enjoy a bonus data boost ranging between 500MB and 7GB per month for the life of their contract for use within Australia. For example, customers taking up its $95 Mobile Accelerate Plan will receive a bonus of 3.5GB of data for a total data allowance of 6GB per month. For subcribers taking up the $130 Mobile Accelerate Plan, they will receive a bonus of 7GB of data for a total data allowance of 10GB per month.
Similar data boosts were also announced for its Mobile Accelerate BYO and Casual Plans. Telstra charges 3c/MB for excess data and the company said that data charges apply when streaming Presto over mobile networks.
We want to cater to our customers’ ever-growing love of sharing, surfing and streaming while on the go. That’s why we’re offering more data on some of our most popular plans. And, to help our customers experience the streaming video revolution, we’re also giving people taking up new mobile plans a bonus 6-month Presto subscription. Customers can enjoy Presto on their compatible desktop, laptop, TV (via Chromecast), tablet or mobile. With the 6 months’ bonus Presto subscription, customers can watch a great range of TV shows and movies on-demand and on-the-go, such as Modern Family, Sons of Anarchy, Ray Donovan and Girls.
