MELBOURNE: Telstra has announced a plan for the customers of Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
The giant telco has not sidelined its business plans either. Business plans under the AU$65 per month plan get an additional 500MB and the AU$135 per month plan gets an additional 7GB, reports ZDNet. Customers will also receive a six month subscription to Presto, a video-on-demand service owned by Foxtel.
The upcoming launch of the Samsung Galaxy S6 has invited competition among the telcos, who are trying to lure customers through attractive schemes. Telstra, the largest telco in Australia announced new data limits for some of its postpaid plans. The company’s plan to boost data on its fixed and mobile plans and the introduction of new data packs came as a relief to the data hungry customers who considered Telstra expensive
