Now that we have the launch availability from Vodafone, Optus, and Virgin, it’s time for Telstra to join the party, and this morning, they have.
Telstra customers can purchase GALAXY S4 on the $80 Every Day Connect Plan with a $7 handset repayment per month (after using an included MRO Bonus) with $800 worth of standard national calls and MMS plus unlimited text messaging to standard Australian numbers and 1.5GB of data for use in Australia. Min cost over 24 months is $2,088. (2 minute standard call $2.11, excess data usage $0.10/MB with no data pack.)
Update: An earlier version of this post showed an incorrect version of this pricing, with excess data usage of $2/MB. This information was based on Telstra’s Exchange blog post, which was updated to show the new price.
Business customers can purchase GALAXY S4 on the $80 Business Performance Plan with a $7 handset repayment per month (after using an included MRO Bonus) with $800 worth of standard national calls and MMS plus unlimited text messaging to standard Australian numbers and 1.5GB of data for use in Australia. Min cost over 24 months is $2,088.
The phone will also be available outright in select Telstra stores from 27 April for $816, which is well less than the RRP of $899 we’ve seen last night.
On Saturday 27 April, you’ll be able to purchase the Galaxy S4 from selected Telstra outlets for the outright price or on a plan; for a full list of stores, check the Telstra Exchange post.
Telstra has one of the better networks (though it’s not without its irritating flaws) and so people looking for a premium smartphone may be looking for the (supposed) premium carrier to go with it. Will you be getting your Galaxy S4 through Telstra?
