I was clicking around to activate the $2 woolworths sim I picked up on Ozbargain a month ago and noticed an S7 edge plan that is cheaper than the Virgin offer posted here the other day, thought I'd better share.

Deal also includes bonus Samsung VR gear with an RRP of $159

Woolworths employees can use their staff card as a discount code in the rewards card field to get 10% off bringing this to $63/month

This plan only includes $10 international credit, if you were after more the Virgin plan for $77/month includes $300 and might be better value for you, listed here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/253732

    I like the 'Zero Bill Shock' feature that works like a credit card limit. IMO government should make this a regulation for Telcos. I mean, financial companies cannot keep charging your credit card when you hit your limit, right? Why can Telcos keep charging you tens of thousands when your credit check only shows you can afford up to a certain serviceable amount every month?

    • Diji1 on 22/06/2016 - 19:19

      The credit check isn't a guide to what you can pay it's an assessment of you being a risk to the vendor, the risk being in this case that you won't cough up the money you agreed to pay them.

    • gstfree on 22/06/2016 - 23:45

      Telco should provide credits according to user's financial situation. It can't make user liable unlimited usage. The best practice should be allowing user to set a limit.

      • Gershom on 23/06/2016 - 03:51

        And at what point do you start being responsible for yourself? Or do you want the telco to tell you for the rest of your life how many calls you are allowed to make? How about we get government appointed nannies to make all our decisions for us, and never have to be responsible?

          This is simplistic libertarian propaganda, this kind of regulation would simply require telcos to ask you first before you are charged for optional extras, something the majority of telcos do anyway. In no way does this imply that governments should appoint nannies to wipe your ass. It gets tiring seeing this sort of flippant ideologically motivated response to any regulation at all. Regulation is not the root of all evil.

          @Gershom
          To a point where the charges hit your limit. By your logic, credit cards should not have limit as well then as we should all be responsible for ourselves. I would wish to have a credit card where I can just keep swiping up to a few million dollars.

          Same with Telco, they accessed the risk and determined that you could be on a $70 plan, because you have the affordability to service that every month. No way they would think if you rack up a bill of $10,000 you would be able to pay it, yet they still allow you to rack it up without cutting off your service. Everything after the fact is just nasty and unnecessary, the victim will claim they could not repay that bill which is understandable and the Telco would play hard to get and convince the victim to repay it (because you have used it; because you have agreed to the terms; because you are not careful blah blah blah).

        • Gershom on 23/06/2016 - 11:26

          @wildstone:

          yet they still allow you to rack it up without cutting off your service

          You people are unbelievable. Is there someone holding a gun to your head making you use these services? Are you not conscious of the fact that using services is incurring costs? You are saying that people can't be trusted to regulate their own use of services, that people are too stupid to make their own decisions? It's no wonder that we have turned into a nanny state when people are actually clamouring to give up their rights and freedoms to have the state tell them what they are allowed to do. The problem is that laws apply to everyone equally, and us grownups get caught up in them too. I would urge you to try to live for a week making and being responsible for your own decisions, and see how empowering that is.

          You never heard of 'Duty of care' have you?
          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_of_care

          On the other matter, are you able to get me a credit card with no spending limits? I promise you I will be responsible and make wise decision :)

        • Gershom on 23/06/2016 - 11:51

          @wildstone:

          How about the concept of personal responsibility? Duty of care is a euphemism for nanny state. Just look at when it is trotted out - drunks in police custody, junkies lying in the street, idiots refusing medical treatment, etc. I can't think of one example where duty of care does not equal nanny state making decisions for irresponsible person.

          And with the credit cards - I do have a card with no spending limits. I can buy a jumbo jet on it if I wanted to. Maybe one day, if you become wealthy and can demonstrate a history of responsible financial behaviour then you can have on too. In the meantime, keep blaming other people when you get yourself into debt, I'm sure that's oh so adult and responsible.

          @Gershom:

          You would think differently if the following happens to you on a postpaid data plan:

          1. Your kids used your phone to download movies.
          2. An app, unaware to you backed up all your videos and images to the cloud.
          3. You got a malware/virus on your phone consuming large amount of data.
          4. You created a Hotspot when on vacation for your family, they have no idea that was a mobile data because as far as they were concern it was a Wi-Fi connection and they kept watching Youtube, Facebook etc.

          All above scenario very likely to happen and very reasonable to happen. By the time you received an alert from the Telco saying you have used up x% of your data (which by your logic Telco should not send alert as well because we need to take care of ourselves, but let's say they are nice and send you an alert), you would have already incurred hundreds of dollars on your bill.

          This has happened to a lot of individuals, I think you would have different opinion if this ever happened to you.

          @wildstone:

          I'll concede that. All of those scenarios can be obviated by use of the phone settings, but I do tend to forget that not everyone is created equal intelligence-wise, and would therefore not necessarily know of these settings or be able to use them. It is a sad fact that I often forget that 50% of the population are, by definition, below average intelligence.

          @karlgr90: The 4G service that you’ll get on Woolworths Mobile or Aldi Mobile, though, isn’t quite as high quality as what you’ll get on Telstra, though — speeds are capped to 100Mbps maximum download for MVNOs while Telstra enjoys (theoretical) 4G transfer speeds of 1000Mbps or more.

          Similarly, Telstra’s Voice over LTE (otherwise known as 4G voice) service, which has significantly higher voice bit-rates and higher qualiy voice calls than 3G or 2G connections, won’t be made available to partner telcos.

          @divious: i have been with Vodafone since the old 3 days and have nothing to complain about. Vodafone is supposed to use the Optus towers etc. For some reason pre paid plans offer more data than the post paid plans. Good deals for mobile phones though on post paid. Fine for me as i use nbn wifi most of the time, and i am buying a SG5 for $2 a month (24 months) on a $40 plan. 2 months unlimited data for the first 2 months though. Many different post paid and pre paid plans to suit; i manage 3 mobiles that are all on different plans, all unlimited national talk and text.

    First time I've ever upvoted a mobile + plan deal.

    70*24 = 1680.

    Lets say a S7 Edge + Gear VR would be a great deal at $680, yeah I know it's worth a lot more but that's the point where I would actually consider one new.

    So if $680 was the point where it's a good deal then $1000/24 brings it to around $42 a month for 8gb of data, which is pretty damn good if it's Telstra 4G.

          1680- ~$100 = 1580
          1580-$100 wolli dollers = 1480
          1480 - $100(VR stuff, if we sell it off in ebay/gumtree) = 1380
          1380 - $900 Samsung edge 7 = $480
          Which translate to $20/month for wooping 8G data.
          It will be even cheaper if we consider not paying upfront.

          Oh, thanks ilostnemo I thought it was the standard S7.
          I stand corrected.

          My opinions still have weight and merit though.

          My opinion stems from owning a:
          Samsung D600, Galaxy S, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S5.

          I'm practically done with Samsung.
          They're good quality phones. But they occasionally have their faults.
          TouchWizz is atrocious. Buggy stock software. Updates come a year too late.
          Bootloaders are locked. Customer service is pathetic.
          The OG Note got bad screen-burn issues.
          The Note 3 from Telstra, had screen burn out, was only rooted, they didn't honour the warranty for a hardware problem.
          The S5 had camera issues, was sent in, lost by Samsung, who refused to replace or reimburse the unit.

          So for me personally, the Note line holds a special spot in my heart but I'm done with Samsuck.
          A Nexus or an iPhone are the only ways to go.

          And having being in a contract, where they lock you in and continue to charge you for the phone for 24 months, only to refuse to support the handset's software, and refuse to honour their own warranty….that my friend's is a scam.

          @praga:

          Because with an iPhone what you get is what you get. Sure you can jailbreak it, but most people use it stock.
          When there are improvements made to iOS (e.g. Siri), they do become available for you in a very timely manner.

          With Android devices, fragmentation is a real issue. There are some companies that do a good job of keeping up. There are some specific devices that also do a good job of keeping up. And ultimately what really separates your old device from the new device is the updated software. The older devices do eventually receive updates, but these come 9 months later IF you're lucky. And this is done to stifle already sold products, to make the new products seem better and generate sales.

          In other words, it is planned obsolescence !

          @Rog1995:
          I was going to go to the dark side when iOS 8 and the iPhone 6 Plus came out.
          So I sold the broken Samsung devices for cheap and gifted the decent ones to family.
          And instead I bought a used Nexus 5 instead.
          The Nexus 5 has recently broken on me (a loose speaker connector, common problem).
          I've since made the jump to a Nexus 5X (thanks OzBargain community!)

          I prefer Android over iOS. And Android phones over iPhones.
          But I appreciate the quality, support, and customer service that iPhones take for granted.

My current mobile is a SG5 with no issues at all. The last 3 phones have all been Samsung Galaxy mobile for me, and the other 2 phones I also manage (the bill payer for family) are Sansung Galaxy versions (J1 Ace & Trend Plus). They are all kept in cases whuch keeps them safe from harm.

        • Kangal on 24/06/2016 - 12:00

          @JediJan:
          I'm in the custom rom community so it really warrants buying new devices every 6-12-24 months.

          Most of the older phones have gone into family.
          Some have been sold.
          In addition to these smartphones I also owned:
          HP rw6815, HTC Touch PRO, iPhone 3G, Moto CLIQ, Moto Droid, Nokia N900, HTC Desire Z, and RIM PlayBook.

          I also have access to a HTC Desire 820 and Samsung Galaxy J1.

          My angst with Samsung is a deserved one.
          Stock software is laggy, bloated and buggy. Their customer service is simply appalling. Their documentations are lacking. Source codes are sometimes incomplete or not published. Bootloaders are locked. And even when you get through all the hurdles, there is a physical hardware (military-grade) chip which detects if unsigned code is passed… this is their proprietary Samsung KNOX system. Once tripped, your warranty is voided. It can even be tripped by Samsung through their updates (!). And they will not honour their warranty for any, including unrelated, issues. And the worst part is when this affects someone you've handed the phone over to.
          If anyone likes any more details, I'm happy to share.

          Samsung flagship devices are still one of the best Android devices out there…But I can't ignore the previous experience.
          So I've stopped recommending Samsung devices, and instead tell people to buy Nexus devices or even iPhones.

          Its a bit baffling that only a few years ago, 2GB of mobile data was enough for many people.
          Is it because of HD streaming from YouTube? Or is Facebook/other common sites just getting too resource demanding?

          The question you need to ask is. What is the cheapest prepaid plan with unlimited calls and 8gb Internet? If it's $40 then this is a no brainer for the additional $30 month.

          @Rog1995:
          11GB for $50
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/254194
          So do you take GB allowance or take the phone. Still think the phone with 8GB is the better option

          @Rog1995:

          That 11GB for $50 is a great deal.
          I'm going to come off like a shill but check out the new prices from Jeenee Mobile (they're an Optus MVP).

          They have a 8GB deal for $35.
          They've also a 10GB for $45.
          And finally a 15GB for $60.

          So if this good Woolies deal is $70, and a comparative deal is $35 (no phone)… then they're essentially charging you $35@24 (=$840) for the phone, headset, and voucher.

          So it boils down to you, do you think that's worth it?
          And remember this is a 2yr obligation.

          (Personally I think there's better deals out there, but I have been downvoted for my opinion).

        @TeeJay I think you will see over the coming months, the Telcos are going to stop competing so fiercely on Data and look to differentiate their offerings in other ways, be that rewards, content etc. I think now is as good a time as any to lock in these large data allowances. They won't go down, but I don't see the Data war going on forever.

        How do I know? I'm sitting in head office working for one of the major Telcos right now

        • Duece1995 on 23/06/2016 - 13:44

          Couldn't agree more. I would rather lock in a plan now. I was lucky enough to get the sim only plan with 10gb data for $30 with unlimited calls from Optus back in December and couldn't be happier using it worth my note 3.

    $63 p/m for anyone with a woolworths staff card

    • icecream on 22/06/2016 - 16:16

      As a promo code? LOL

      • indium on 22/06/2016 - 16:23

        Nope, you just enter your card number in the rewards card field

    • jes on 22/06/2016 - 16:53

    Does Woolly mobile offers $5/mth data shared like Telstra does?

    Plan details showing unlimited national calls and sms also, OP might want to update the title and listing as it reads as though it's a data only plan.

    So it's an even better deal than I originally thought.

    I'm seriously torn here - I was happy keeping my Note 2 till it dies on a Vaya 18/m plan, but the great value of this deal is very overpowering.

        Wait a few hours and you may have the highest rated deal on an L plate (first deal for account) or at least should be in contention, well done.

      I'm in a similar situation as you. I'm still rocking my S4 with vaya 18. The phone still works great, but this is very, very tempting.

      If the upfront cost of the phone is $817 delivered (I know you've said $680 in your earlier post), which is the best deal so far for Kogan, then this works out to be <32 per month for the data and calls, and this is oz stock with vr. That's just $14 per month more than vaya for so much extra data and calls. Damn.

        WHAT DO WE DO!?!

        I'm watching reviews on the S7 Edge now and will be to the end of the work day. If by the time I get home, have dinner and settle in and find it's still available I'll probably end up pulling the trigger.

        I'm sort of hoping that they sell out. I don't need it, but I don't know if I can say no to the deal.

        • FiDad on 22/06/2016 - 17:29

          Not that this would help you make a decision but I am on same $18 plan and got S7 Edge outright last month in a ebay deal for $999 from Bing lee. I could not wait as my S5 died couple of days before but after looking at this deal I wished i would have waited. It is a amazing phone and this is the best bargain for it yet

        • ylbeethoven on 22/06/2016 - 18:43

          I am using "waiting for wife to approve" as the excuse… wife is coming home soon… emm… should I really ask her?

        Me too. Currently on S4 with one of those $1 Woolies SIMs.

        I think I'm going to jump on this deal. If I didn't, and my S4 dies tomorrow (which it has every right to, the bastard's been through a lot), I'd kick myself for not doing this.

        • gunnny on 22/06/2016 - 20:05

          don't. 100% guarantee you will repent this in a few months.
          Get the phone outright and get on the aldi $35/45 plan.

    Only $10 of international calls included, Virgin Mobile = $300

      Wonder how that compares to 90 minutes on Vodafone $40 prepaid deal.

  • harry1970 on 22/06/2016 - 16:09

        Today I spoke to Kogan for about two hours about a laptop that they are refusing to replace. Never buying Kogan again. This deal is very good value.

      I would be very, very surprised if this were grey stock. I can understand one's hesitance to believe the best of Colesworth considering the offshoring of profits, but in this case, I would be 99% sure these are Australian stock.

      • Benoulli on 22/06/2016 - 16:26

        These are eligible for the gear vr, so that means they have to be Australian stock by default.

        • JediJan on 24/06/2016 - 04:30

          Is the Gear VR really good value? Will it stand the test of time or just a fad? Serious question.

  • EyyBanane on 22/06/2016 - 16:24

    Anyone knows how much do you have to pay if you exit before plan ends? Full 24m_plan+mobile cost (like Vodafone) or 24m_Handset_cost+handset_credit (like Optus) ? Can't find this info anywhere..

      Early termination charges
      You can cancel your Woolworths Phone Plan before the expiry of the minimum term, you will need to pay any charges incurred up to the point of cancellation and an Early Termination Charge (ETC) which is calculated in accordance with the following formula:
      ETC payable = $35 x the number of months remaining in the Minimum Term
      The maximum ETC payable is $840. You may also need to pay us the Handset Fee for the remaining months of the Minimum Term in addition to the ETC Payable.

      • broot on 22/06/2016 - 17:38

        If i were to cancel the plan after a few days, i only need to pay $840 for the phone without the plan. Not bad for a outright local stock.

        • kwchaz on 22/06/2016 - 17:42
          +1

          Would really depend what they call the handset fee, as it wouldn't be unheard of them to say the actual plan is only worth $x, and the difference to $70 is the handset price. For example, I get a discount for my handset repayments with Telstra, but if I cancel early, I have to pay off the handset without the discount.

        • Clementt on 23/06/2016 - 17:35

          @kwchaz: I don't think there is a handset fee or maybe I am wrong. The plan is 70/month

          $70 plan + $0 extra handset payment

          $70 upfront payment
          24 month contract
          Minimum cost $1680.

        • kwchaz on 23/06/2016 - 17:45

          @Clementt:

          One would hope so as it matches their existing $70 plan - but I wouldn't put it past a clever mob to say 'when signing up with this plan, you actually receive a $X/mo discount, so the handset payment is $X*24'. Hopefully when people actually get their bills, it will become apparent how it is being billed. :)

          @kwchaz: Me and my friend were reading on the critical information summary. Notice that it said the handset repayment is listed on the application, which is $0. Also, they say the early termination fee max is $840. If we were to go by their term, it would be $70 + $805 (23 months ETC) = $875. So did anyone actually talk with the customer chat and see what their reply?

          Also, their FAQs confirm that.

          Can I cancel my Phone Plan before the expiry of the minimum term?
          Yes, of course, however you will need to pay any charges incurred up to the point of cancellation and an Early Termination Charge (ETC) which is calculated in accordance with the following formula:

          ETC payable = 50% of your Minimum Monthly Charge x the number of months remaining in the Minimum Term.

          You must also repay any outstanding Handset Fees.

  • Clementt on 22/06/2016 - 16:33

    Should I get this plan or should I wait till after june where it will probably drop in price? I got a deal to buy outright for $949 from retailer.

    • Associatedsolarius @ Everyday Rewards on 22/06/2016 - 17:25

      You wouldn't get the VR Gear after June though - it's free right now until 30 June.
