Hey guys, not sure if everyone knows but if you are a Telstra customer you are entitled to free AFL live pass for the season.

Type in #820# to your keypad, press call, and then follow the prompts

This is a no strings attached service for Telstra customers which gives us access to the Draft, Under 18 championships, NAB Rising Star, every single live game and more.

ALSO, this service is unmetered, meaning that you can watch it on the go and it doesn't go onto your data charges.

Enjoy guys!

All good, probably some posters who missed the original thread and the added extra info. 

Only post paid customers, not prepaid 

*Mobile customers.

 

Anyone know if this works for business customers as well? 

You can also get a refund if you've already purchased a live pass this year. Even if you purchased via google play.

Doesn't work, just wasted an hour of my life. I have been with Telstra exclusively since Telecom, have over 10 phones and multiple email accounts NBN .... they don't recognise me. At least Foxtel works, yes I have that through Teltsra too...hmmff

Ok so i am going to use it on my mobile that is on the Optus network, does that mean it is still unmetered?

Worked for me. Got it for NAB3. Surprisingly seamless, Loaded on the daughter's iPad as well which is a bit easier on the eyes when viewing. Don't know how one can enjoy watching footy on a phone

Are you doing it right?
Might as well go into a Telstra store and see if they can help you.

The best thing about the live pass is the  on demand replays of all dees matches from the past couple of years. And if your an Android user and have the right cables you can watch on your TV too.

Telling me my code is invalid

Ahh i was under the impression that this function was blocked with AFL live pass to protect Fox and 7. Are you 100% sure it works?

100% sure.  Watched every game on the weekend with that method.  You can cast your phone screen to TV no matter whats on your phone.

And yes it casts the live stream  in HD

 

If you happen to have an iphone and an apple tv, the airplay function works a treat. Been using it for the last season and a half. Can't recommend it enough!

What's the quality like with a chromecast? I have Android tv and can screen mirror but it is pretty bad quality and a big delay between what's on my phone and what's on the tv.

I do it as well, quality is ok depends mainly on your internets ability to maintain a strong connection. It is not HD by any means but beats watching it with a magnifying glass. There will be a delay compared to what is on the phone but the audio is cast to the tv as well so as long as you dont look at your phone while its happening it wont really matter ( oh and 1 more thing... you will want to have the phone plugged in or it will go flat been there, done that very annoying) 

I should also note I'm using the first chromecast i would assume the 2nd gen one would be better 

The whole AFL thing is weird if you ask me. Like i can view smart replay 12 hours after a match on my PC or Smart TV but cant view it from an android phone. And don't even speak to me about apple. No bloody flash

Im using the new Chromecast, I believe its 2.0.

The picture quality is perfect and theres zero delay when casting  screen to the TV.

I have been considering getting it. It does have 3 wifi antennae vs the old which just has 1 so could result in a stronger connection than i have had in the past which is usually the problem i have. 

But i will stress that chromecast version aside the network is always what is under the most strain doing this so an old/weak network connection will always going to stuggle. We can offer our experiences based on our networks but anyone reading may have much better or much worse connections and their results may vary. (haha that last bit sounds like an american infomercial disclaimer)

I use an appleTV to put AFL Live onto my TV.  I've discovered that sometimes it looks better on the phone than the TV and that this is because my internal wifi network is being pushed to the limit. Putting the ipad/phone near my router helps a lot.
