Hey OzB,

It’s finally live on the web and available in store.

Let the phone gifting begins.

For selected phones only, you’ll get $20 off $80 Phone Plan from Virgin for the life of the plan. Details on the plan are on the web. Select the phones and go to the $80 plan, and if you click the drop down button you’ll see the offer on these phones :

Android : S7, S8, S8+, Sony XZ Premium

Apple : iPhone 6s, iPhone 7 256GB, iPhone 7+ 128GB

For S8&S8+ , you can bundle it with the S3 Frontier for extra $15p/m, not bad since you’re going to get two devices instead of one.

For S7, you can bundle it with Gear Fit2 Pro for extra $8p/m.

This offer is compatible with the $100 credit offer!

I may not be able to answer your questions here as I am working today :)

Don’t forget cashrewards if you’re signing up online!

    Cracking deal OP! getting one now.

  • cpho on 08/12/2017 - 09:49
    +12

    $60/month for 24 months. Minimum payment of $1440
    S8 market price is around $800, plus $100 credit offer.
    Price of the plan comes down to $540 over 24 months or $22.50/mo for 16gb data per month.

    Far out that's a good deal. I don't need a new phone but I'm tempted to sign up anyway

    Looking at their plans, they have a $68 plan with 2GB data, but I can also go $69 for 5GB of data. 3GB data for $1.. Tough decision. Or you can pay $73 ($4 more than that) to go back down to 1GB. And then $2 more than that brings you from 1GB to 9GB.

    Now I'm confused.

  • alz on 08/12/2017 - 09:57

    I'm currently paying 40$ a month on Optus sim only 15gb plan. For an extra $20 I can get an s8 hmmmm… might be a good deal. Any cashrewards applicable to this?

    • Associatedmymedicineisbargain @ Virgin Mobile on 08/12/2017 - 10:29

      I might leave it to cashrewards staff or others to confirm this, afaik if you use the link to virgin web store via cashrewards website or the cashrewards toolbar to activate, it should do as this is 24months plan

      • tightarse on 08/12/2017 - 10:39
        +8

        100% applicable. New Virgin customers will get $45 cashback. Please ensure Cashrewards is your FINAL click before purchasing so your cookie isn't attributed to another channel (yes, even OzBargain). The common mistake members make is they activate the toolbar then surf to other websites and return to buy. Doesn't work that way. Once you've activated the toolbar or clicked out from Cashrewards, go nowhere until your purchase is complete and you'll be fine :)

        • ntt on 08/12/2017 - 12:01

          to make 100% sure, before you click purchase button or finalise the order, just click from cashrewards again, that's what I'm doing to make sure I'm not get distracted from clicking some pron website.

  • dehamsta on 08/12/2017 - 10:03

    I added S8 to cart under the $80 plan but the total does not get reduced to $60?

      The cart will show you $20 off & $100 credit promo, that’s the one you need to see :)

        Still shows as $80 per month when i try to sign up. It does not drop to $60. Otherwise i would have completed the application by now.

      • ylangylang55 on 28/12/2017 - 16:53

        Just checked with the sales representative via online chat. The $20 discount will be applied to your monthly bill once the package is activated.

        • nmk on 09/12/2017 - 01:03

          Will i have to pay $60, or $80 and they will return $20 as store credit to use on their products??

          @nmk:
          Was advised that Only $59 will be debited from the account. $20 promotion will be applied in your monthly bill which brings down the $79 to $59

    • rayray086 on 08/12/2017 - 11:40

      I panicked after seeing this deal as I had just made an order with Virgin yesterday for the iPhone 8 Plus! There's still the $100 credit back for signing up before end of January 2018 though. Definitely not as good as the $20 off per month but I wanted the 8 Plus and it seems like Virgin has the best contract plan deal.

  • skd32 on 08/12/2017 - 10:13

    Definitely getting this over Telstra family & friends deal.

    It comes with $300 international credit which Telstra plan doesn't have.

    And I don't need to provide Telstra "Control Team" with my three ids, utility bill, and three latest payslips / bank statements which all have to be brought in Telstra store which is ridiculous.

      It comes with $300 international credit which Telstra plan doesn't have.

      Not to mention, unlimited standard international calls to 7 different countries which Telstra again doesn't have.

          I got $7 off my monthly bill on Vodafone just for asking lol. Although now my contract is up and never again. They couldn't try and sell me with another discount.

          Or, see how much it is to re-contract and upgrade your virgin plan. Not sure about virgin, but other networks I am sure let you re-contract onto another one of their plans after 12 months, provided it is an upgrade.

  • regenade on 08/12/2017 - 12:12

    Please note that this includes Intl calls to 10 countries , $100 Credit and $50 cahrewards. So way better than Telstra for a $ to $ if your coverage is same where you live. Plus $15 a month for the S3 frontier is just awesome :D

    Do anyone know if they supply a Tax Invoice if you get this in store

    • iversonjack on 08/12/2017 - 12:20

      if u r thinking TRS then no, they don't do tax invoice as you haven't technically paid for the phone in full.

    Is there anyway at all to make it just a 12 month plan??? Also, how does the $100 credit work? Does it just mean I won't have to pay the bill for the first month and a bit?

    • pennypincher98 on 08/12/2017 - 12:31

      Simple. Just cancel after 12 months and there's your plan done.

      just pay termination fees and the remaining months of the contract

      • charmed_tiger6 on 08/12/2017 - 12:46

        lol. Unfortunately, I think the termination fees will not make this such a good deal… I had to pay out quite a bit on my last plan with them because I moved overseas before the plan was up :(

        • Strahany on 08/12/2017 - 13:39

          Virgin payout fees are only the cost of the handset. So 12 months from now, your payout fee would be 50% of the device price at time of sign up.

        • charmed_tiger6 on 08/12/2017 - 13:51

          Yeah, I just chatted them and if I got correct info, I'd have to pay out $474 if I cancelled after 12 months so it'd be $1194 for 12 months (or $1094 if we take the $100 credit off). I think I'd be better off finding the handset on special and sticking with my Coles prepaid sim maybe.. although I don't get as many frequent flyer points that way :/ hmmm…

  • MID on 08/12/2017 - 12:25

    FYI- it's 1GB extra than Telstra's deal (for the S8) as seen here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/342769. Telstra's doesn't include free Music (eg Spotify) data, but it IS on Telstra's network which is better than Virgin IMO.

    • regenade on 08/12/2017 - 13:24

      No International calls on Telstra, this includes Unlimited Calls to 7 countries and 300 min for rest, that alone is worth $15 a month easy when u compare to Skype or cheap VOIP

    • Frozensage on 08/12/2017 - 13:33

      Not really I find Telstra network pretty average. I often get no 4g connection at the cbd train stations and Richmond. Basically anywhere there are a lot of ppl in a small area I get dropped to 3G and will struggle to come back to 4g till afew stations out of cbd. I get no such problems with my partners Optus 4g.

    • [Deactivated] on 08/12/2017 - 21:02

      Depends a lot on your use case. In mine, where I don't go out rural, and my wife's family's house is a horrid black spot for Telstra, but gets great signal on Optus, then the Telstra network is worse for me and my wife.
      If you work rural I think its a no brainer but if you're metro, Telstra doesn't really offer any advantage and may be worse.
