Apple has officially confirmed it will be hosting a product event on March 8, and it’s been heavily rumored that the iPhone SE 3 will be among the new products in the line-up. Now, we may just have further evidence to suggest a new iPhone is coming.

Australia’s three major carriers – Telstra, Optus and Vodafone – don’t seem to be stocking the iPhone SE (2020) on their online stores any longer, which could be a real clue that the launch of the iPhone SE 3 is imminent.

While the current-gen iPhone SE might still be found in some brick-and-mortar stores, the fact that it has seemingly disappeared from the online stores of the major carriers suggests they’re making way for the rumored device.

The iPhone SE (2020) can still be found at some large Australian retailers such as Amazon and JB Hi-Fi, while other major stores including Bing Lee and The Good Guys appear to no longer stock the device online.

With an official launch likely just a few days away, we’d suggest holding out if you’re looking to buy an affordable new iPhone.

iPhone SE 3: what to expect

Apple’s iPhone SE line is the brand’s most budget-friendly phone, and it’s proved to be a hit as it sits alongside the regular – and ever-increasing cost – of the iPhone range.

While the iPhone SE 3 has not yet leaked as thoroughly as the Samsung Galaxy S22 range had before its February launch, plenty of speculation surrounds the phone.

For example, we don’t know how much the new device will cost, but one analyst has suggested it could be even cheaper than the iPhone SE (2020) was at launch, which was $399 / £419 / AU$749 for the 64GB model.

If the rumored iPhone SE 3 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, it could also come packing the latest A15 Bionic chip, which is the same powerful chipset at the heart of the iPhone 13 family.

5G connectivity is widely expected to be another big addition, which would bring the phone up to speed with its Android competition. 

While the leaks have strongly suggested the iPhone SE 3 will get a number of internal upgrades, it’s been suggested the upcoming budget Apple handset won’t be getting a redesign, and will look similar to the current-gen iPhone SE. That means you can expect a home button, thick bezels and a 4.7-inch LCD screen.

• The iPhone SE 3 could be 2022’s biggest smartphone surprise

The Samsung Galaxy S22 is now available to pre-order, and Amazon Australia has an exclusive offer for TechRadar readers that’ll get you AU$50 off the device, along with other free gifts.

When you pre-order any model from Samsung’s new S22 range, enter the code S22FUT at checkout and you’ll get AU$50 off the handset. Amazon is also throwing in its own Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen) (valued at AU$199) completely free when you pre-order the S22 in the optional bundle.

But that’s not all – you’ll also be eligible to redeem a bonus gift pack valued at up to AU$337 directly from Samsung, with a choice of items including the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2. The goodies you’ll get depend on which model you go for, so check Amazon for a full list of gifts.

• Click here to pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S22 from Amazon Australia

We should note that because these gift packs are redeemable through Samsung, the offer is also available from other retailers where you can pre-order the S22 – only the AU$50 discount and free Echo Show 8 are exclusive to Amazon.

Telstra, Optus and Vodafone also have pre-order offers of their own, though instead of an outright discount, the three major telcos are offering other bonus gifts and incentives.

Telstra is throwing in a free Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 with all its pre-orders, Optus is including a free Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Vodafone is giving a AU$600 credit when you trade-in an eligible device for your pre-order.

Do keep in mind that pre-ordering the S22 from one of the major telcos will also require you to sign up and stay connected to an eligible plan, whereas Amazon’s offer won’t require you to jump through as many hoops. In any case, weigh up your options before you buy. 

Amazon’s ripper pre-order deal is available from February 10 until March 3 at 11:59pm AEDT, with the Galaxy S22 being shipped on its official release date March 4.

Aside from Amazon’s tempting offers, there’s also another reason you should consider pre-ordering the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra if you want to get your hands on it in early March.

Some leaks have suggested the premium device will be out of stock for months after its launch, and while this information has not been verified, it’s entirely possible the ongoing chipset shortage and supply chain issues could affect supply, as we saw with the iPhone 13 Pro Max late last year.

• Samsung Galaxy S22 live stream: how to watch the Samsung Unpacked launch

Telstra Day is back, and for today only (February 9) Telstra is offering AU$200 off the elite Google Pixel 6 Pro. This is Google’s first top-tier smartphone, with power to rival the iPhone 13 Pro Max – only the Pixel 6 Pro is much more affordable at its newly discounted price of AU$1,099.

If that cost is still a little too high for your liking, Telstra has also knocked down the price of the Google Pixel 6 for one day only, and it can now be had for AU$849, which is a very reasonable AU$150 saving. The Apple devotees haven’t been forgotten either, with a discount also available on the iPhone 12.

Unlike last month’s Telstra Day though, you will need to pair your handset with an eligible Telstra mobile plan to score these devices with a discount. You are still able to buy the phones outright, or pay them off over 12, 24 or 36 months. Read on for all the highlights from today’s Telstra Day deals.

Google Pixel 6 (128GB) | AU$999 AU$849 (save AU$150)

The Pixel 6 is a wholly redesigned device from Google, and the result is a phone that has excellent photo-taking abilities beyond what’s on offer from rival handsets. The improvement comes from its new chipset though, so unfortunately the Pixel 6 is missing a telephoto lens. But for a newly discounted price of AU$849, this phone sure is offering plenty. Price is only available when you add an eligible mobile plan from Telstra.

Google Pixel 6 Pro (128GB) | AU$1,299 AU$1,099 (save AU$200)

The Pixel 6 Pro is the first truly top-end device from Google. Its camera array includes a 50MP wide-angle lens, a 12MP ultrawide camera and a 48MP telephoto shooter, which is only enhanced by Google’s photo software. It’s got a big and beautiful screen too at 6.7 inches. Telstra has knocked AU$200 off the Pixel 6 Pro, but you’ll need to pair it with an eligible Telstra mobile plan.

iPhone 12 (64GB) | AU$1,199 AU$949 (save AU$250)

If you love all things Apple, you can now nab the previous-gen iPhone 12 for AU$949 from Telstra. This version has the same 6.1-inch display as the newer iPhone 13, though the battery life and camera capabilities aren’t quite as good. However, this iPhone 12 discount is a good AU$400 cheaper than what you’ll currently pay for the latest model. This saving is only available when you pair it with a Telstra plan.

Google Nest Hub Max | AU$349 AU$249 (save AU$100)

The Google Nest Hub Max is a 10-inch smart display that also doubles as a good, music-friendly speaker. It’s ideal if you prefer Google Assistant over Amazon’s Alexa and, at this discounted price, it’s AU$150 cheaper than Amazon’s equivalent, the Echo Show 10. Buy it now from Telstra and save AU$100. 

Google Nest Mini (2nd Gen) | AU$79 AU$29 (save AU$50)

The Google Nest Mini (2nd Gen) is now better than half price at Telstra, making it just AU$29 a pop. It comes with Google Assistant onboard, so it can be controlled either with your voice or through using Bluetooth. Its audio quality means we wouldn’t recommend it as a dedicated music speaker, but it works just fine for all your voice requests. Now AU$50 off.

Google Pixel Buds A-Series | AU$159 AU$109 (save AU$50)

Google’s Pixel Buds A-Series offer almost all the same features as the Pixel Buds 2, only at a much cheaper price point. These newer true wireless earbuds come with better bass response too, though our review found these earbuds can be fatiguing to listen with and uncomfortable to wear over a long period of time.

• Telstra NBN plans compared: every option from Australia’s top telco

It was only last week that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE finally became available, so you might be surprised to hear that this new device is already on sale. For one day only, Telstra has discounted the S21 FE down to AU$899, which is AU$100 off its retail price.

The S21 FE is a more affordable version of the standard Samsung Galaxy S21, and it still comes with a vibrant screen, a powerful processor and capable cameras. But if you want to be an early adopter of new tech, you could consider picking up the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3.

A greater discount is available on this foldable phone, which is now AU$400 off at Telstra for today only. We’ve seen the Fold 3 discounted a few times before, including a one-time AU$500 price cut just before Christmas, but if you missed out back then, this AU$400 saving is worth jumping on.

It’s a similar story with the S21 FE – we’ve seen previous price drops, but they’ve only been available through trade-in or via Samsung’s employee program. So, while the deals available from Telstra today aren’t the lowest prices we’ve seen, they are still great deals on Samsung’s newest devices.

You also don’t need to pair any of these devices on a Telstra mobile plan, as you’re able to buy them outright. You can still choose to sign up for a Telstra plan and pay off the phone in monthly instalments, though its plans are steep in comparison to the competition. Read our guide to the best SIM-only plans if you do buy outright.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 (256GB) | AU$2,499 AU$2,099 (save AU$400)

While we’ve seen the futuristic Fold 3 available for slightly less in the past, this AU$400 discount is still pretty great, and it doesn’t require you to trade-in an old phone. The Z Fold 3 comes with S Pen support (finally) and a more durable design than its predecessors. Buy it outright from Telstra or on a plan and save AU$400.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE (128GB) | AU$999 AU$899 (save AU$100)

The brand-new Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has barely been available for more than a week, but you can already save AU$100 on the device at Telstra. The lowest we’ve seen on this device was AU$699, but that price was only through trade-in – which might not have been an option for many. Now anyone can get it for AU$899 outright or on a plan from Telstra.

Apple Watch 6 (40mm, GPS + Cell) | AU$749 AU$509 (save AU$240)

While the Watch 7 is the latest wearable from Apple, the truth is, it’s only an incremental upgrade, with changes mostly coming to the screen. So if a saving of AU$240 is much more appealing to you, consider nabbing the Watch 6. Both the 40mm and 44mm watch sizes are discounted, but it’s only available in red.

• Telstra NBN plans compared: every option from Australia's top telco

Another Telstra Day has arrived, and you can now save up to AU$550 on a range of top-tier smartphones from Apple and Samsung for today only (Friday, November 5).

While the majority of these deals aren’t the best we’ve seen from the telco in its previous Telstra Day sales, the prices are still generally cheaper than you’ll find elsewhere at the moment.

For instance, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is now AU$550 off, which is a pretty good score in our books. Just keep in mind that the Samsung Galaxy S22 range is expected early next year, but the S21 Ultra is the current cream of the crop.

Similarly, Apple’s previous-gen iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max handsets have both received a AU$500 price cut, and while they’re not the latest iPhone 13 flagships, these are still some of the best prices going on last year's flagships.

All the discounted handsets below can be bought outright, which means you won’t have to sign up to a Telstra mobile plan to score the savings. That option is still available to you though, so you’ll be able to pair with a plan and pay off in monthly instalments if you wish.

iPhone 12 Pro Max (256GB) | AU$2,019 AU$1,519 (save AU$500)

The iPhone 13 Pro Max may have taken its place, but the 12 Pro Max is still one of the best big iPhones on the market. It has a clear and bright 6.7-inch OLED display, and packs an excellent three camera array on the rear. Thankfully, its larger size gets you the best battery life of the iPhone 12 range, but just be ready for its extra heft. Telstra is currently sold out of the 128GB model, but you can snag the 256GB version for AU$500 off.

iPhone 12 Pro (128GB) | AU$1,699 AU$1,199 (save AU$500)

If the 12 Pro Max above still feels too expensive, then consider nabbing this discounted iPhone 12 Pro. The 12 Pro has a 6.1-inch OLED screen, so it’s a little smaller than the option above and more comfortable to hold with one hand. The three camera setup is also impressive, which the more expensive 12 Pro Max only marginally improves on. For one-day only, you can save AU$500 on this device from Telstra.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (128GB) | AU$1,848 AU$1,298 (save AU$550)

If you’re partial to Android, we think the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is the best phone in Australia. It has phenomenal power, and one of the best camera setups on a smartphone. The five lenses on the rear include an impressive 108MP main sensor, as well as a 100x zoom range. If you’re keen to grab this incredibly slick device, it’s now AU$550 at Telstra for one day only.

Samsung Galaxy S21 (128GB) | AU$1,248 AU$948 (save AU$300)

For those looking to pick up a new handset for less than the S21 Ultra above, consider this AU$300 discount on the regular Samsung Galaxy S21. It too has powerful internals and a versatile camera (though here, you’re getting three lenses instead of five). Overall, it’s a pleasure to use and a great choice for those who want premium features at an affordable price. Make it yours for AU$948.

• Telstra’s NBN 50 and NBN 100 plans are down to just one dollar

We’re just one day away from the Apple Watch 7 becoming available, and that means deep discounts on the Apple Watch 6 are highly likely to arrive as well. Telstra has done just that, and for this month’s Telstra Day, you can get the Watch 6 for AU$509 – that’s a AU$240 discount off its usual retail price.

And of course, there’s big savings on smartphones available today too. For the Android crowd, the schmick Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is now AU$500 off, while the iPhone 12 Pro is AU$350 off for the Apple faithful. These aren’t quite the lowest prices we’ve seen on these handsets, but it’s still a good deal, particularly if you don’t want to fork out for the newest models.

The good news is, you don’t need to pair any of these products with a Telstra mobile plan to score the discount from the online store either, as every device on sale can be purchased outright with the discount being applied at checkout. Of course, you do have the option of signing up for a Telstra plan as well, which will also let you pay the device off in monthly instalments.

Our top picks from the sale are below, just keep in mind the offers are only available until midnight tonight (October 7).

Apple Watch 6 (40mm, GPS + Cell) | AU$749 AU$509 (save AU$240)

With the Apple Watch 7 soon to be released, it’s great to see the Watch 6 with such a deep discount. The main factor to note is that the Watch 7 is only an incremental upgrade, with changes mostly coming to the screen (20% bigger, 70% brighter always-on display). So if that’s not important to you, why not save AU$240 on the Watch 6 instead? This discounted 40mm model comes with GPS and cellular connectivity, but if you’d prefer the 44mm case with GPS and cellular, it’s also on sale for AU$559 – down from AU$799.

iPhone 12 Pro (128GB) | AU$1,699 AU$1,349 (save AU$350)

Now that the iPhone 13 Pro is available, Apple has discontinued the iPhone 12 Pro that came before it – but it’s still available at certain retailers. It looks very similar to the newer phone at first glance, and it comes with mostly the same camera setup: a wide, an ultra-wide and a telephoto lens each with a 12MP sensor (though you'll be missing cinematic mode in the 12 Pro). The iPhone 12 Pro is still an excellent device, and it’s now AU$350 off at Telstra.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (128GB) | AU$1,848 AU$1,348 (save AU$500)

If you want the best that Samsung has to offer, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is the phone for you. It has a huge 6.8-inch screen, five cameras and the best zoom on any Android phone currently available. Those features mean this is quite a pricey phone, but now you can buy it outright from Telstra at AU$500 off. It’s worth noting that the Samsung Galaxy S22 range is expected early next year, but the S21 Ultra is the current cream of the crop.

iPad Air 4 (64GB, Wi-Fi + Cell) | AU$1,099 AU$999 (save AU$100)

The iPad Air 4 is a powerhouse tablet, with the kind of top-end specs that make it tricky to justify upgrading to the ultra-premium iPad Pro. So, if you’re looking for the sweet spot between the extremes of Apple’s tablet lineup, this is it. The display is 10.9-inches, and inside the chassis sits the A14 chipset (the same silicon that powers the iPhone 12 range). This small AU$100 discount comes on the 64GB version, with Wi-Fi and cellular connection.

• Telstra NBN plans compared: every option from Australia's top telco

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has revealed today that Australian organisations – both public and private – are being targeted by a large scale state-based cyber attacker.

The Prime Minister says the threats are sophisticated, and are directed towards “all levels of government, industry, political organisations, education, health, essential service providers and operators of other critical infrastructure”.

While Mr Morrison would not name the origin of the cyber threat, he went on to say that “we know it is a sophisticated state-based cyber actor because of the scale and nature of the targeting and the tradecraft used”.

During a press conference in Canberra, the Prime Minister said this kind of malicious cyber activity towards Australian organisations wasn’t new, but was becoming more commonplace. 

He was joined by Minister of Defence Linda Reynolds, who clarified that the campaign was “increasing in frequency, scale, in sophistication and also in its impact”.

• What is cybersecurity?
• How to protect your remote workforce from cyber attackers
• Here's our list of the best VPN services available

What you can do to protect yourself

The Prime Minister stated that the purpose of his announcement was not to cause concern, but to advise Australians on how they can take action to protect themselves. 

So, what can businesses and individuals do?

The government outlined three strategies that Australians should follow. 

Firstly, it’s important to ensure that your internet-connected devices have been patched with the latest-available security updates, and to ensure they're kept secure by installing any new updates as soon as they're released. For businesses, that includes ensuring any web-facing services they use (such as website hosting and email servers) are updated with the latest software fixes.

Secondly, multi-factor authentication for user accounts should be turned on as standard. This will help keep your internet access, cloud-based platforms and organisation infrastructure secure.

Finally, the government recommends organisations register to become a partner of the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ASCS). Businesses, government agencies and not-for-profit institutions that sign up will automatically receive threat information and actionable advice direct from the Australian government. 

The threat of malicious cyber activity will also be of importance to the many Australians who have shifted into remote work as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and if you fall into that category, we've put together some simple advice on how you can protect yourself when you work from home.

• The best antivirus deals in Australia

The global pandemic has drastically changed the way we live and work, and while many Australians might soon be returning to the office, others could be looking to work-from-home on a much more permanent basis.

If you’re one of many newly remote workers, you might be in need of online protection for your home network. Well, you’re in luck – you can score yourself the top-shelf Norton AntiVirus Plus for half the price during EOFY sales.

Norton AntiVirus is our #2 ranked antivirus software, and for the reduced price of AU$34.99, you can now get the Plus package which protects a Windows PC or a Mac for one year – safely seeing you through the months ahead.

If there’s more devices in the home you want to cover, then Norton’s 360 Deluxe is the most cost effective solution, and it’s been discounted by a hefty 48%. This feature-packed suite will cover up to three devices for one year, and set you back just AU$74.99.

• The best antivirus deals in Australia

• Check out all the best tech deals from Australia’s EOFY sales

While AntiVirus Plus is Norton’s basic security suite, it’ll still protect your device from malware, including ransomware, and has a firewall and password manager as well.

Norton’s 360 Deluxe will cover three devices with the same protection, but also offers extra perks for Windows users, such as 50GB of cloud backup and parental controls.

The entire range of Norton’s antivirus protection is on sale, so ensure your devices are covered before this offer ends on July 8.

• Facebook and Spotify make shift towards permanent remote working

We’ve all experienced it – you open up a phone bill, and wince at the numbers – but it doesn’t have to be this way. TPG has slashed the price of its pre-paid phone deals, getting you a decent amount of data for half the price.

New customers can now get 50% off their first six months with TPG. For most users, the best-value option is likely the 25GB data plan, which will set you back a mere AU$15 for the first half-year, before bumping back up to AU$30.

For those that don’t quite need 25GB, you can get much the same plan but with 14GB of data instead for AU$12.50 per month, again doubling after the initial six month period.

If you require a little more data to play with, there’s also the option of 30GB for AU$20, or for the bare basics, you can opt for 6GB of data for AU$10 each month. While each plan will double in price after the first six months, they’re still reasonable and will save you a bunch.

• SIM-only plans: the best value options, handpicked
• Australian phone deals compared: everything you need to know
• Need to sign up to the NBN? These are the best plans

Each pre-paid plan also comes with unlimited talk and text to standard national numbers, plus the 30GB option has 100 international minutes included. If you use all your data before the end of the month, you can get an extra 2GB for AU$10.

A pre-paid plan could be suited to you if you’re looking to manage your budget, or if you’re looking for a zero-commitment plan.

You’ll need to bring your own handset to TPG though: you might’ve bought a new device outright, or more likely, you’ve paid off a mobile phone with your current provider and aren’t keen on an expensive upgrade just yet.

• Australia's first 1000Mbps consumer NBN plan is here – and it's just AU$149 a month

Internet service provider Aussie Broadband has just launched access the NBN’s latest and fastest consumer NBN speed tier, a 1Gbps service offering unlimited downloads at speeds of up to 1000Mbps, and selling for a surprisingly affordable AU$149 a month.

With a download speed of 1Gbps, this brand new 1000/50 tier is set to be four times faster than what was previously available to consumers, with top speeds formerly maxing out at 250Mbps.

Given Aussie Broadband is the first in the market to offer NBN 1000, the ISP has warned it's as yet unable to provide definitive numbers on peak evening speeds, with managing director Phillip Britt saying it is a “best effort service”.

“We think that the plan should achieve off-peak speeds of up to 80-90%, depending on the technology type,” says Britt.

“For the moment, we will be advising customers our peak evening speeds for our 250Mbps plans as a baseline until we have collated enough data from our own network testing.”

With the peak evening speeds for Aussie Broadband's NBN250 plans currently listed as 215Mbps, that means you'll be getting these speeds at the very least – but it'll likely be a lot faster.

Even if the peak evening speed is just 215Mbps, this NBN 1000 plan will far outpace Aussie Broadband’s NBN 100 deal, which promises a typical evening speed of 86Mbps.

• These are the fastest NBN plans in Australia
• Just need the basics? We've found the cheapest NBN plans

Can you get it?

Before rushing to sign up though, there are a couple of caveats you should be aware of. Namely, the plan is only available on two types of NBN connection – fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) and hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC). And while all FTTP connections can sign up for 1000Mbps, that speed will only work with a select subset of HFC installations – estimated to be roughly 7% of the total.

To see what’s available in your area, check your address on Aussie Broadband's website – note that you may need to select 'Build your own' to see the higher-speed 250Mbps and 1000Mbps plans.

Aussie is also recommending eligible customers get themselves a Wi-Fi router that will be able to cope with the super-fast speeds, going so far as to suggest the Google Nest Wifi, as standard modems may not be able to handle distribution of that higher download bandwidth around the home.

If you're connected via HFC but have found you can't access that 1000Mbps tier, there is some slightly consoling news: Aussie Broadband has dropped the prices on its 250Mbps plans to make them more competitive with this new 1Gbps offering.

The ISP has announced its mainstream NBN 250/25 unlimited plan will fall from AU$169 to AU$129 each month, while the NBN 250/100 unlimited plan (for users who need extra upload bandwidth) has been reduced from AU$219 to AU$209.

[UPDATE #2: Monday, June 1 @ 4:00pm]

Both the 10am and 2pm releases of the Apple AirPods have sold out fast, but if you missed out, you can try your luck again with another 100 units dropping at 6pm. This third batch of 100 is likely to be the last, judging by eBay's previous AirPods deals.

[UPDATE: Monday, June 1 @ 10:20am] 

The 10am allotment of Apple AirPods has (as expected) sold out in a flash, but there will be another 100 units on offer at 2pm, so if you missed out you can try your luck again this afternoon. Our original story continues below:

For the entire month of June, eBay is giving its Plus members access to exclusive daily deals on highly sought-after products, with savings of up to 80% on offer. 

The online marketplace's 'Plus Month' event starts on Monday and runs through to the end of the month, with a new Plus-exclusive deal launching at 10am each day. 

To kick it off, up for grabs from 10am next Monday (June 1) are the always-popular second-generation Apple AirPods, now going for just AU$99 – that’s a hefty 60% price cut from the RRP of AU$249.

Later this month, subscribers can also expect to see price drops on the AirPods Pro, the Nintendo Switch with Animal Crossing bundled in, and a half-price pre-order deal on The Last of Us 2 for PS4.

There will also be Plus-only deals from brands such as Xiaomi and Ecovacs, but there will be only one item carrying that jaw-dropping 80% discount – a SodaStream machine for the incredibly low price of just AU$19.

• Australian EOFY tech deals, handpicked
• Looking for a laptop? These are best deals right now
• Now's the perfect time to start selling your clutter on eBay

Snap it up

A word of warning: you'll likely have to be quick on the mouse to score these flash discounts, as demand has always been high in similar eBay sales previously. 

However, even if you aren't interested in competing for those daily deals, Plus members will still able to access a variety of other discounts, including a flat 20% off a wide range of items on eBay starting Monday, June 15 – we’ll be listing all the juiciest tech bargains from this sale on our dedicated eBay deals page.

As mentioned, this is an eBay Plus-member exclusive sale, so you will need to be a subscriber to take advantage of these savings. If you haven’t signed up yet, new subscribers can get a free 30-day trial of the service. 

If you decide to stick around, it will cost you AU$49 a year to carry on the membership, the perks of which include access to free returns on Plus items and, for this sale, free express metro delivery on millions of selected items.

Here's a preview of what to expect from some of those special daily deals:

Day	Product	eBay RRP	eBay Plus deal	Total discount

The Click Frenzy online sale bonanza is back, and Australia’s top telco is offering an unbeatable deal on Microsoft's Xbox All Access service to help keep you entertained at home for many months to come.

Telstra is treating its existing customers to a discounted subscription to Xbox All Access, which includes an Xbox One S, plus a 24-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold for just AU$22 a month – that’s a saving of AU$120 if you stick with the service.

All up, you’ll pay a minimum cost of AU$528, and will get to keep the console after the 24-month period. To put that into perspective, an Xbox One S usually costs around AU$379, and an Xbox Live Gold subscription on its own will usually set you back AU$160 over two years, which already totals AU$539.

With this killer deal, you’ll get all that plus a digital download of Forza Horizon 4: Lego Speed Champions and a continually updated library thanks to an Xbox Game Pass subscription.

Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft’s rotating roster of full, premium Xbox games. There’s always access to over 100 games, and usually there’s great titles available, including big names such as Red Dead Redemption 2. 

While these titles are available to play for a limited time, as they come and go from Microsoft’s library, it’s a great way to play a range of games with little upfront cost. Even better, most of Microsoft’s in-house releases are available to play on Xbox Game Pass as soon as they’re released.

If you want to play online with your mates, Xbox Live Gold is the service you need for online gaming. It also includes a few free games each month, which you can keep forever if you claim them during the time they’re available.

The online shopping sale event that is Click Frenzy has again come to our screens, and this time around, it’s brought a bunch of killer deals on SIM-only plans from Telstra.

Australia's favourite telco is knocking AU$10 off all of its BYO mobile plans, which means you can get yourself 60GB of data for just AU$50 a month with Telstra.

The cheapest available option is the Small plan, which will net you 30GB of data for as little as AU$40 each month. The Medium plan likely offers the best value for money, giving you 60GB for AU$50 month-to-month.

For those data-hungry users who need more to play with, the Large plan now gets you 100GB of data for the discounted price of AU$70, while the Extra Large plan offers a massive 150GB for AU$90 each time.

No matter which SIM-only deal you go with, you’ll be pocketing AU$120 worth of savings over the course of the year.

Each of Telstra’s BYO phone deals come with unlimited standard national calls and texts, and have no lock-in contract, so you’re free to leave the network any time without facing fees.

Circles.Life is relatively new to the Australian market, but the telco is making its presence known with this killer SIM-only deal – new customers can score a massive 100GB of data for just AU$28 a month.

While that incredibly low price is only available to new signups for their first three months with the service, the cost only bumps up to AU$38 each month after the fact, which still edges out the competition to be the best SIM-only plan for data hungry users.

SIM-only plans tend to offer less data than their phone contract counterparts, and if they do have large pools they’re usually much more expensive – the next most affordable 100GB plan after this Circles.Life deal costs AU$50 per month.

The 100GB data plan includes unlimited national calls and text, and even though you’re getting a solid amount of data, Circles.Life offer “bill shock protection” with all its plans. So if you accidentally go over your base amount, there’s a 3GB buffer before you’ll be charged extra, and if you happen to need it, you can purchase an additional 20GB for just AU$10.

Circles.Life is also offering 300 minutes of international calls to 15 countries for an added AU$5 per month, which is particularly helpful at the moment when we can no longer visit our family and friends overseas.

To knock AU$30 off your first three months with Circles.Life, just use the code 10FOR3 at checkout.
