Telstra Day phone deals: $500 off iPhones, plus free tablets and watches with Samsung Galaxy phones

The recent release of the iPhone 14 has seen prices drop on older Apple models — so Telstra is slashing a massive $500 off the iPhone 12 Pro and $200 off the iPhone 12 Mini. While both devices are from Apple’s 2020 lineup, they remain excellent phones, and each handset can be used on Telstra’s 5G network where available.

Buy on Telstra Day, and you can grab the iPhone 12 Mini from just $799, either by paying upfront or spreading the cost over a 12, 24, or 36-month device payment plan. Telstra’s iPhone discounts include:

  • Apple iPhone 12 Pro: save $500 (now $1,199 for 128GB model, $1,369 for 256GB model, $1,719 for 512GB model)

To take home any of the above offers, you’ll need to purchase your choice of phone either outright from Telstra, or on a Telstra device plan of 12, 24, or 36 months. All four options mean you’ll pay the same in total for your phone, but a device plan allows you to spread the cost over one, two, or three years of equal monthly installments.

If you’re buying outright, the full discount will be applied at check-out. If you opt for a device plan, the price cut will be applied evenly across your monthly installments; if you cancel your Telstra plan early, you’ll be required to pay out the full remaining balance of your phone, and will forfeit any remaining discount.

Whichever payment option you choose, you’ll need to pair your phone with one of Telstra’s three Upfront, SIM-only mobile plans. Plans begin at $58 per month for 40GB of full-speed data, up to $89 for 300GB. All plans include unlimited standard national talk and text in Australia, unlimited speed-capped data (limited to 1.5Mbps) to use if your full-speed allowance runs out, and access to Telstra’s 5G network. However, customers should be aware that Telstra’s Basic $58 plan limits 5G speeds to 250Mbps.

These plans also include some great entertainment bonuses for customers who sign up ASAP. Customers moving to a new Telstra Upfront plan will receive one month of free Foxtel Now streaming ( worth $25 per month), two months of free BINGE streaming (priced at $16 per month), and three months of free Apple TV+ (normally $9.99 per month) — a combined value of just under $87. You’ll also get three months of free Telstra Device Security protection for your phone, valued at $30 over the three-month trial period.
