Telstra has been spruiking its once-a-month Telstra Day for a little while now, but we’ve got to say, the deals on offer today (July 7) are the best we’ve seen from the telco. Among the deals is a rare discount – Telstra has sliced AU$350 off the price of the iPhone 13, which makes Apple’s current flagship the cheapest outright price we’ve seen at AU$999.
Apple’s more premium devices have gotten a big discount too, with the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max both getting a AU$300 price cut for one day only. While you’ll still be paying a four-figure sum for these phones, the discount again brings the price down to some of the lowest outright costs.
All of the devices on sale this Telstra Day can be paired with a Telstra mobile plan or bought outright, but there’s a small catch if you want to do the latter – you’ll need a Telstra ID. We’ve done some digging, and it seems like you should be able to sign up for a Telstra ID during checkout.
If this doesn’t work, a cheap way to get a Telstra ID is to buy a Telstra prepaid SIM (the cheapest is AU$2) – shout out to OzBargain for this tip. You’ll probably need to pick this up from a physical store though, as you won’t get the SIM in time by ordering online. Alternatively, you’ll be able to get a Telstra ID by going into a physical store and buying the discounted phone that way.
