Guys, I was at Harvey Norman Adelaide City Center Store comparing iPhone prices
and the salesperson told about $200 gift card if I switch to Optus since I had an awesome prepaid annual deal with Kogan, I let him amuse me
But pulled it off he gave me 20 Gb data with iPhone 8 space gray and $200 gift card.
I noticed since then Optus have started doing the deal on their website but its missing $200 gift card.
I found cis on Optus website her check it out https://cdn.optusdigital.com/opfiles/Shop/All/cis/Cis%20Docu…

  • dragonos81 on 10/12/2017 - 18:53

    Is the following still possible?
    Porting my number to Vodafone in the morning - and incurring a charge of the remaining handset repayments (around $300) - and going to HN to sign up as a new service for it while porting my number.

    • jimbobaus on 10/12/2017 - 19:53

      I am not sure if it is still the case but about 6 months ago my partner tried to port out and in to get a deal.
      The offer was “not valid” as the system say the number had been on Optus within the last 30 days.

      Not sure if still the case though but be aware they might not see you as new if you port out/in same day.

  • The J man on 10/12/2017 - 19:11

    I signed my wife up in Harvey Norman earlier, received the phone and eftpos card on the spot, but no paperwork (no copy of contract etc). I was told this would be emailed to me, but am curious how I'm supposed to activate the eftpos card without an invoice number…. Was this the same for everyone else (not receiving a copy of their contract on the spot)?

    I've always been given a copy of the contract/paperwork on the spot when signing up for anything previously.

    • eddieaus on 10/12/2017 - 22:43

        Oh wow, well if I don't get a copy in my email by cob today, will go to the store tomorrow and hit them up. Thanks mate.

        • bolindinho on 13/12/2017 - 21:31

          Did you have to go in? I just realised you cannot activate the eftpos card without an invoice number. I'll have to revisit HN and ask for one. Let's hope they have a record.

        • The J man on 13/12/2017 - 22:32

          @bolindinho:

          I called up and got them to email me one.

          Only took a couple minutes over the phone, so give them a call.

  • Mahalo on 10/12/2017 - 19:34

    Question: where is the sim. I walked away with no sim. All the paper work and phone plus gift card, but can find the SIM card anywhere.

    • CasinoChunks on 10/12/2017 - 19:38

      should be a seperate card….

    • cantstanzya on 10/12/2017 - 19:41

      If the SIM is not already inside the phone you received (presumably inserted by hn staff as a courtesy) you should contact them first thing tomorrow. You will be without service once your number is ported from your old carrier if you have not received a SIM card. Mine came as a separate card similar size to credit/business card.

    • Mahalo on 10/12/2017 - 19:48

      THANKS @casinochunks and @cantstanzya
      There is no SIM card anywhere or inserted. The box has a sticker with handwritten Optus on it.
      Also the paper work has a sim number but not actual sim to be found.
      My old sim already disconnected.

      • cantstanzya on 10/12/2017 - 20:00

        Good luck hopefully they put it aside.

        • Mahalo on 10/12/2017 - 20:04

          Lets hope so.

  • CasinoChunks on 10/12/2017 - 19:37

    Thanks for this. My wife wouldn't have got the $200 if I didn't find out from here. I think Adelaide has now sold out of the iphone 8's though (think we got the last one)
    I would recommend calling the store before you head to get this insane deal. They said it has been crazy with this deal.

  • sicaboy on 10/12/2017 - 20:36

    May I know which HN branch did anyone successfully receive the $200 gift card?

    • ScratchMaster on 10/12/2017 - 22:09

  • alvinMalhot on 10/12/2017 - 20:38

    Does anyone know if the phones from Harvey Norman are unbranded or if they are optus stock (specifically galaxy s8)? Would prefer unbranded as don't have to wait for software updates from optus. I'm guessing harvey Norman sell galaxy s8 as a phone o my so was hoping it wouldn't be a carrier version.

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ Optus Accessories on 10/12/2017 - 20:58

      Harvey's Carries a mixture of Optus stock and outright stock.

      • alvinMalhot on 10/12/2017 - 22:21

        Thanks will ask in store if I can have an unbranded one if possible

    • andylan1 on 10/12/2017 - 21:00

      What is the difference between a carrier version and an ouright version? Is there actual branding for optus on the phone or is it a case when it boots up saying optus (like phones use to do)? This wouldnt affect iPhones right?

      • AssociatedPielo @ Optus Accessories on 10/12/2017 - 22:21
        +2

        Android phones have a boot up logo and Optus app preinstalled.

        Software updates come from Optus and not directly from Samsung.

        IPhones have no differences.

        • alvinMalhot on 10/12/2017 - 22:25

          The software update is the big one for me, can often wait a long time after Samsung release a software update before some carriers release it.

      • alvinMalhot on 10/12/2017 - 22:23
        +1

        A carrier version may have some extra bloatware added co.pared to a clean unbranded phone. Would also have optus boot up but a unbranded one wouldn't have any carrier on boot screen. No idea about iphones

        • baktiar77 on 11/12/2017 - 00:03

          iPhones are unlocked by default and don't have those bullshit bloatware.

    I just signed up in Chadstone. They don't have the phone and after 5 hours, my sim card is still not activated.
    I also forgot to grab the $200 giftcard. Will they hand me the giftcard when I pick up the phone in 2-3 weeks?

    • sicaboy on 10/12/2017 - 21:32

      I reckon negative.

      • timcc0208 on 10/12/2017 - 21:41

          That is what I call OzBarganervosis. The excitement or nervousness in dealing with a bargain, that renders the subject too excited or nervous to complete the actions required to get said bargain and therefore needing to complete follow up to get the bargain or missing out altogether.

    • AssociatedPielo @ Optus Accessories on 10/12/2017 - 22:24

      Did you forget the gift card on the table or something?

      Otherwise the $200 gift card is added to the HN invoice as a bonus.
      If the salesperson forgot to give it to you, yes you can pick it up when you pick up the phone.

      Dont let anyone fool you: If the contract was done before COB 11/12/2017, you can pick up the card anytime you want.

      • Going Broke on 11/12/2017 - 00:34

          It is up to them if they want to or not. They operate on slim margins with those optus connection so its really their decision if they want to give up the profit they make from it or not.

  • Freestyle on 11/12/2017 - 04:21

    Just a question to anyone that owns one, how is the iPhone 8? Is the battery life any better compared to 5 or 6? and how much faster is it? Thinking if it would be worth upgrading my phone

    This seems like a really good deal but its 24 months lol

    • The J man on 11/12/2017 - 04:47

      My wife likes it, she went from a G3 -> Note 2 -> iPhone 8, so she's extremely happy.

    • Bullion78 on 11/12/2017 - 09:46
      +1

      It might be on par with the price of iPhone 8 but in 2 years time its going to depreciate to bugger all compared to the iPhone which will still fetch 40% of its original value even though it's a much better phone in every aspect. That's always the dilemma for me.

      • arctan on 11/12/2017 - 10:05

        Depends on how often you get new phones I reckon. None of Android phones would hold much values after 2 years. Usually people sell their old phones after 12 months.

  • Vicbitter on 11/12/2017 - 09:28

    • AssociatedPielo @ Optus Accessories on 11/12/2017 - 10:36

      Yes you can. Use the online chat (telesales) through Optus directly to upgrade to the $59 plan.
      They should waive any fee when doing so.

      No $200 gift card if you do that.

      Can't really compare iPhone 8 and S8 on paper just by specs.
      They will both run as well as each other from my experience so pick the one you like best, ie iOS vs Android.
