You goose, check the context, it went right over your head. The Commonwealth of Aus being the major shareholder of Telstra, has no effect on Telstra's marketing. "There are no special laws which apply to Telstra';s marketing", any different from vodafone or optuses, or anyone else Actually they didn't.

I'm in Qld and got the sms offer from tls on Friday afternoon. But there is a catch. I have to go to the website and register, and they will give me $200 bonus credits on September 1. These credits can only be used up until 30th Sept, when I lose them. I also lose all other credits I have at that time. In my case, I have over $100 in credits right now. So if I register, I get a total of $300, but at the end of Sept I will have $0. So if I don't make over $100 of calls in Sept, I'm losing money. I normally in QLD, my phone is registered there but I am temporarily out of QLD and have not had the offer. Would take it if they offered it to me and also their web site does not want to know my mobile number (Telstra CDMA Pre-paid). Must be selected customers only.

Always a catch with a Telstra offer, isn't there? > > Glad I don't deal with them except for my PSTN line for broadband. Roll on > wireless broadband! I'm quite happily enjoying Voda's competing offer! Free sim. Once registered, you get the 200 mins to other Voda phones. Top it up with the minimum $20, and you get that doubled, plus the unused Voda minutes convert to credit at 20c/minute. So ... Free connection, $80 worth of credit to be used in 2 months - all for $20 plus the price of the paper... > I'm quite happily enjoying Voda's competing offer! I'm actually quite happy with it as well... I already have a vodafone prepaid service so i chose the option to credit the existing account with 200 free minutes... I didn'tn release they also slap on an additional $40 of credit to that as well. Not a bad deal at all. > The slippery buggers. Always a catch with a Telstra offer, isn't there? You cant expect them to be able to afford to give away $200 to each of the maybe 3 million prepaid customers they currently have connected. Voda's offer is also limited to somelike like 600k for the same reason >> The slippery buggers.

Approx 600,000 sims to be given away, registration will work for the first 150,000. Not exactly a major limit - if Voda signs up 150,000 fresh customers in Qld it will easily exceed its wildest dreams, I suspect. > >> The slippery buggers.

I didn't say that. You slippery bugger. I do expect a $200 offer, valid for 1 month, to NOT result in losing all of my prior, PAID credit at the end of the said month. THAT is slippery stuff and not the behaviour I would expect of a major corporate. More like one.tel. > Voda's offer is also limited to somelike like 600k for the same reason > > > The slippery buggers.

They will remove any portion of the $200 credit unused, not your total credit Mikey, stop throwing in red herrings. Give us all the words verbatim from Telstra's SFOA to justify your wild claim. Otherwise we can all safely assume that you're WRONG. Again. (Sigh.)

Why don't you program your browser to open pages at the bottom if it really is so hard to hit the autoscroll on your mouse. Either that or get a higher-res graphics card so that the entire content of most postings will fit within a window. |
