Also, three bindaas ways to connect back home in June
Telstra is helping customers connect home in June with double data and unlimited standard international calls from Australia to India, United Kingdom, Canada and United States.
Customers can receive double their data with every $40 recharge (5GB data + 5GB Data Bank bonus) on Telstra Pre-Paid Extra™ before 2 July as well as unlimited calls to standard international numbers in 10 selected destinations.
To celebrate, Dimal Patel, Penrith Store Leader, is sharing three bindaas ways to connect home with India through your smartphone.
“When a son or daughter, aunt or uncle, cousin or friend is living overseas, it’s more important than ever to connect to home,” Mr Patel said.
“With Telstra’s special double data offer and unlimited standard calls to India on select pre-paid mobile plans, it’s easier than ever before to connect to home on Australia’s best mobile network.”
1. A virtual tour of your Australian life
Spend a day taking your parents or loved ones on a virtual tour of your Australian home town with your smartphone. Take photos of your everyday life, including selfies from your favourite cafes, shops and parks and share in near real-time with your double data offer.
2. Binge on a large family group chat
Invite all your family and loved ones to a gigantic group chat party on WhatsApp and catch up on all the latest family news (and pictures).
3. Talk for hours from your favourite place
Have you got a favourite hangout place? Perhaps it’s a restaurant or Bondi or St Kilda beach? Snap pictures of your hangout spot and, while there, speak to loved ones back home for hours with unlimited standard international calls to 10 selected destinations, including India, on Telstra’s $40 and above Telstra Pre-Paid Extra plans—it’s never been easier to phone home.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
