Foxtel Now added in phone plan revamp

Streaming service Foxtel Now is to be thrown in for free for 12 months on select new phone plans with Telstra.

Starting at $99 for new postpaid plans, which include a phone, or $79 if customers bring their own phone, Telstra customers will receive one Foxtel Now starter pack free for 12 months, and 20 gigabytes of data.

If customers chose more expensive plans, with more data, they could receive up to three free starter packs.

Telstra estimates users can watch two episodes a day of HD content and still be within its allowance.

Telstra and Foxtel are facing increased competition from rival Fetch which has partnerships with Optus, iiNet, iPrimus and Dodo.

The offer runs until Christmas this year.
