Telstra EOFY tech and gaming deals

Alongside offering savings on new smartphones and home internet, Telstra is also cutting prices on a range of tech accessories, as well as offering a discount on the Xbox Series S.

Pick up the Series S on Telstra’s Xbox All Access plan before midnight on June 30, 2022, and you’ll save $5 per month off the price of the console. Xbox All Access allows customers to pay off the Xbox S over 24 months, rather than at full price upfront — so with the discount applied, you’ll save $120 in total.

Xbox All Access is priced at $28 per month (including the $5 price cut), or $672 over 24 months. Alongside the Series S console, you’ll also receive a wireless controller, and an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription for access to more than 100 high-quality games (plus online multiplayer, cloud gaming and EA Play memberships).

Outside of gaming, Telstra is also running deals on dozens of gadgets and accessories, including:

Tablets

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G: bonus gift bundle including Galaxy Buds Live + Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra book cover
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ 5G: bonus gift bundle including Galaxy Buds Live + Galaxy Tab S8+ book cover
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 5G: bonus gift bundle including Galaxy Buds Live + Galaxy Tab S8 book cover

All tablets can be added to a Telstra data-only/mobile broadband plan, which begin at $15 per month for 5GB of data and include options up to 400GB each month.
