Telstra Giving Away Free 12-Month Trial of Apple Music with Go Plans

by

Australia's largest mobile carrier today announced that it would give away a free 12-month trial of Apple Music with a 12 or 24 month Go Mobile plan on iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. The deal marks the first time the new music service will be given away with a mobile plan.

Additionally, the carrier's notes on the promotion indicate that the service will use carrier billing. When users sign up and agree to the terms and conditions Apple Music's payment will be paid via the Telstra rather than Apple directly. This means that users have to renew or cancel their trial through their carrier bill.

Last week, T-Mobile announced that it would add Apple Music to its Music Unlimited service, allowing Simple Choice customers to listen to the streaming music service without the cellular data counting against their 4G LTE data plan. Unlike the Telstra deal, users are not given a free trial to the service by T-Mobile.

As for free data, Telstra told me that this is something that has to be negotiated with Apple (not sure why), and that was not privy to those discussion.

I work for Telstra (I don’t represent them at all) and they have an option to select “Apple Music Data Offer” when signing people up to plans. Currently it’s red, meaning I can’t select it, but at least they’ve been thinking about it!! Hopefully it comes out in a promotion soon.
