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…

      It will be awesome if you can share the invoice with the freebies. Thx in advance.

    • El Grande on 14/12/2017 - 12:41

      Can you share the receipt with the life proof case? I only got the $15 case. I have to go collect the phone soon so If you share the receipt I can ask them to give me the same. Thank You.

        It doesn't mention the eftpos card on the receipt but i got that as well

        • El Grande on 15/12/2017 - 23:41

          Thank you. I had to return my screen protector and case but I got the lifeproof case. He said he wasn't sure how they did it but lifeproof cases were expensive and he couldn't do the screen protector as well.

          I installed the case on my phone but can't figure out how the silent switch works on the case. I turned it but nothing happened.

  • manicmoon on 11/12/2017 - 22:23

    I am just a little bit jealous and annoyed that I got myself roped into a $100 20GB unlimited deal with Optus for the iPhone 7 Plus last year. :/ Guess the only thing I can do is to finish my 1 year contract so I can own my phone and sell that phone…

    Edit: Being silly, my plan is for a 256 GB iPhone 7 Plus hence the differing cost.

  • arnieb on 11/12/2017 - 22:49

    So I tried to get this deal, declined at the credit check and I have no idea why. I tried to get HN to sort it out (went there twice today), gave them more documents to support my application and no response from Optus customer service team. Looks like I am gonna miss out :(

    I didnt want to lose my number as i am already with optus, so i didnt get the 200 eftpos card, I asked the sales person if he could sort me out with some accesories, in the end i got 2m lightning cable $39, bluetooth headset water resistant $49, lifeproof case $89 and glass screen protector $29 awesome deal.

    sold the phone for $900 with accesories, spoke to optus online and got the 10% student discount also now, so in the end I pay $15.60 a month awesome contract i decided to pay all upfront so credited the account with the 900 i got for the phone and payed the rest $374.40 my self

    So I got my deal for $374.40 for a 2 year mobile usage with all that sweet 20gb data awesome and off course free sports channel as well bonus.

      • Associateddecio60 @ Optus Accessories on 12/12/2017 - 18:15

        I used my Optus app to begin the chat, as I’m already a customer I just upgraded and had the student discount already on my account, not available if you are new sign up unfortunately

  • habi309 on 11/12/2017 - 23:48

    wonderful, if anybody can use the student code for this offer, it's fanstatic. HN staff saying no. Let's i ask optus online :)

    • kickTrick on 12/12/2017 - 14:37

      Did you have any luck with Optus online? I asked and they said it could only be done before the sale.

  • alphaai on 12/12/2017 - 12:22

    I believed some ozbargainer on here was saying that the iPhone 8 is unlocked and I believed him.

    I haven’t open my 256gb model cos I don’t know if I want the iPhone 8 now.

    Can someone please confirm that the iPhone is definitely unlocked?
    Eg. Like put in a different telco sim?

    • aja12 on 12/12/2017 - 14:11

      Yep, iPhones are not carrier locked. Haven’t been for a few years.

    • andyc26 on 12/12/2017 - 14:17

      Mostly certainly was! I was using my voda sim for a couple days waiting for them to port my number. Upside was they gave me a months free access for the delay!

  • kickTrick on 12/12/2017 - 14:54

    Has anyone who signed up through Harvey Norman been able to Optus to get online chat to apply student discount for them? I have spoken to a couple of people through the online chat and they have all said the discount can't be applied after activation.

  • alphaai on 12/12/2017 - 17:06

    The iphone 8 models on this deal were BUY and not LEASE right?
    I dont remember the salesperson ever mentioning that its a lease phone.

    One other question,
    The iphone 8 256gb has better resale value than the Mate 10 pro right??

    Thanks guys

    Does anyone know how long unmetered music streaming will be available through Optus? Virgin Mobile users only have unmetered access to music streaming until around March 2018.

  • Saril on 12/12/2017 - 21:37

    Awesome deal I picked up the phone and EFTPOS card at HN today as Optus call centres were busy yesterday. Thanks OP.

    • Cmaz on 12/12/2017 - 21:47

      How did you do that? Did hn still let you gift card today? How much was it? I noticed i missed the deal but now the gift card is gone is there a way to get the deal with the hn card
      Thanks

      • Saril on 13/12/2017 - 14:00

        I went on the last day of the EFTPOS card promotion, but because Optus wouldn't pick up the phone for over a hour, i was told to come back the following day to finish transaction.

  • DEADBEEF on 12/12/2017 - 23:11

    Has anyone been able to activate the $200 eftpos card? I am getting card activation unsuccessful 🤔

    • ransworld on 12/12/2017 - 23:16

      The activation instructions say: "Your card will be ready for activation by midday of the second business day following the date of issue". What date did you make the purchase?

      • DEADBEEF on 12/12/2017 - 23:35

          There is a delay in when you can use the card - but you should get a successful activation message as soon as you enter the details through online.

    Hey guys

    I bought the iPhone 8 256gb at $69 per month. I can now sell the handset right? It’s unopened. I don’t want it now Either way Optus will get their $10 handset repayment per month if I keep or sell the phone.

    I don’t have to pay the $240 first before I sell the handset do I?

    Thanks, newbie here

    • jlogic on 13/12/2017 - 08:48

      Sell it how would they know?

    • The J man on 13/12/2017 - 22:34

      I bought the iPhone 8 256gb at $69 per month. I can now sell the handset right?

      Yes you can. The phone's yours to do with what you will.

  • orange123 on 13/12/2017 - 09:52

    I have already activated the Optus sim but have not received the phone. The Optus reception in my home is unusable as the data only works in a few of the rooms. I really wanted Optus to work out as its an amazing deal. If I return the phone as part of the 30-day guarantee, can I still keep the HN gift card?

    Optus wouldn't know about the gift card right?

  • Frozensage on 13/12/2017 - 11:11

    Don't eBay have super Sunday where if you list and sell on sundays u pay 0 fees?

  • apu on 13/12/2017 - 12:41

    I forgot to ask the guy at HN Melb City, but does anyone know when they were getting stock of the iPhones? Was it going to be before Christmas?

    • kickTrick on 13/12/2017 - 13:11

      I'm in Perth and I spoke to HN this morning and they said orders made yesterday for the iPhone were looking at about 8 days so if you placed your order earlier than that it should be sooner. S8 within the next couple of days.

  • DrMilan on 13/12/2017 - 14:18

    ive spoken to Harvey Norman in Nunawading and the guy has told me 2 weeks.

    so ive taken it on my own to call optus and see whats going on, i was given a 3-5day lead-time and a tracking number (which isnt working yet because it has not been dispatched)

    i spoke to several different people at Optus and the last person had told me that they their sales team was checking the warehouse stock to organise dispatch.. it sounds to me like they dont have stock of the iPHONE 8

    • Frozensage on 13/12/2017 - 15:10

      And when u called optus did u just quote ur mobile number?

    • thankyou38 on 13/12/2017 - 21:18

      Similar situation to me, Optus saying their porting system was down on Tuesday so until ported they wont dispatch the phone and sims.

    • apu on 14/12/2017 - 10:40

      So are Optus delivering these handsets directly to customers? I was under the assumption we had to pick up from the HN store we purchased from…

      • thankyou38 on 14/12/2017 - 10:47

        Coming direct for me…I hope

  • Fake News on 13/12/2017 - 21:52

    I ordered Monday afternoon (Melbourne), got the tracking number yesterday, which said delivery would be today. This afternoon I callled Star Track as I didn’t have the phone or a card from them… turns out Optus massively stuffed up the address (I asked the guy on the phone to repeat it back to me, and he said it correctly but didn’t understand how to spell it, and it’s a basic word). Street number and name was wrong (the address they used was unit 1/1/54/8… doesn’t even make sense! and the street name in no way resembled mine), only thing that was correct was the suburb.

    I was on the phone to them for over an hour and now I have to wait an extra 8-10 days for them to ship a new phone out… why they can’t just redirect the first phone I have to idea!? I also asked if I could pick up a handset from an Optus store but they wouldn’t allow it. I pushed for a free month of access fees and they’ve given it- a fairly disappointing experience as a new customer.

    Those of you who are still waiting for phones… it might be worth checking Optus has your address down correctly.

    • kezry on 14/12/2017 - 08:24

      I am still waiting on even a confirmation! I ordered on Sunday, received a temporary receipt number and nothing since. Online chat keep saying they either can't confirm my details or it takes 5 business days for them to do all the checks and collect documentation - I've been a customer for 10 years! Ridiculous

  • DrMilan on 14/12/2017 - 08:55

    • ransworld on 14/12/2017 - 17:15

      I called Harvey Norman Narre Warren and they said 2-3 weeks before they’ll have my iPhone 8 in stock.

      Put in your student email in the student hub section, a code will be generated, mention the code and your student email to the agent. I don't see any reason why they will not accept it.

      • Chw on 15/12/2017 - 21:47

        • Izefyre on 15/12/2017 - 22:42

          They can't say that. You noticed when you pick out the plan from the optus website, there's a banner that says you can get a 10% off if you're a student. That excuse they're saying is just BS.

      • bkllo00 on 19/12/2017 - 11:16

        • pasey25 on 19/12/2017 - 11:21

          we couldn't activate it despite help from the card issuer and HN themselves so we had to take it in to get a replacement.
