      Hi, which Telstra chat rep did you speak with?i am trying to ask for 10$ discount with mini and head phone but all says its just ONLY the phone without any further discount or accessory
    - KristianC24 on 02/04/2018 - 00:16
      
      Currently having no luck with the $10 discount (ported a few days ago) chat will not budge unfortunately. Very lucky that you received a
      discount

      Update, Just got of from Telstra 24/7 chat, Third time lucky. Spoke to a guy name Sagar and happily applied the $10 discount. So far received the Pixel 2Xl (panda white), pair of earphones, google home mini, a $10 discount and 20GB of data each month (15gb + 5gb) which equates to total of $49 a month. Extremely happy

      @KristianC24:
      
      Yep, I spoke to the same guy. Fingers crossed the discount shows up on the next bill.
      
      I sold my Pixel bundle for $1100, so I guess I'm paying $3.17 a month for 20GB! Very happy with that :D

      How can you check whether the discount has actually been processed?

  Thanks for this post, needed new phone/plan for new staff member, Bought Optus sim today, bought phone deal at jb hifi, port was quick, did online Telstra chat who would confirm in writing I could get 5gb bonus data and $10 discount, but could only apply the 5gb data pack online, said to keep online chat email and ring Telstra to apply $10 discount, it worked eventually but long process, good luck getting the extra $10 discount, great plan at $49pm

  Got same XL deal from Belrose JB HiFi today, came home, hit up chat 3 times, left 1hr between each ! 1st Guy wouldn't budge (only asked for the extra 5GB), 2nd guy gave me the $10/m off porting bonus - that's all I asked for, 3rd Guy gave me the bonus 5GB.
pororo on 03/04/2018 - 12:43

Anyone got any luck in getting the $10 port-in credit? I was trying to sign-up online earlier for the $59 plan, but was told by the online rep that the $10 port-on credit cannot be applied to the the Friends and Family Plan.
- joeiwu on 03/04/2018 - 13:58
  
  Had luck on first go, and eventually gone back to them to get the 5gb bonus. Was trying to be greedy in asking for 10gb, but had no luck. In fact it was harder asking for the 5gb than for the $10 credit; I guess it all depends on who you get on the other side.

  I signed up yesterday at JB. Was told the same thing. After reading success stories here I tried this morning and successfully got it applied, although he initially said this plan isn't applicable. If it helps:
  
  H: I don't think it will be noted on my account
  H: but there is a $10 welcome credit for customers porting into telstra
  H: please ask your supervisor about this
  H: many people have been able to receive it
  
  Nayan: H, you are signed in for Go Mobile Plus BYO Plan - $59.
  
  Nayan: And as you said you have been told for $10 credit I just need reference number to check this.
  
  Nayan: However let me check this from my end also for any discount for your paln.
  
  Nayan: plan*
  
  H: there is no reference number
  H: please check, thanks.
  
  Nayan: Sure.
  
  Nayan: H, here is the good news for you.
  
  Nayan: I have confirmed you will get $10 discount on you plan.
  
  H: excellent
  
  Nayan: I have applied it successfully.
  
  Nayan: 1-147xxxxxxxxxx is your reference number.
  
  Nayan: Is there anything else that I can help you with today?
  
  I then asked if I can get an extra 5gb and he said only one of the 2. But I may try with someone else.
scud70 on 03/04/2018 - 16:26

Got the 5gb… need to retry for the $10 got the same its a byo f&f plan so they can apply the $10 porting discount.
thehub on 03/04/2018 - 16:35

Hi guys, I posted this question above, but it got lost as it was a reply to someone else's comment…
To those who got the $10/month discount, can you see any confirmation in your account (either on the website or in the 24x7 app)?
I got the discount successfully via online chat, but I don't see anything to indicate this in my account. Or do I have to wait until my next bill?

  I don't have this deal but I have discounts on my Telstra services and I never see them in the app or on the website. The only place I ever see them is on my bill.

  Although I was supposed to have the $10/month discount, I received my first bill today for $59. Just jumped on online chat and was told it stuffed up somehow and because bills are auto generated I have to pay the $59 amount this month. However, chat reassured me that the $10 discount has been correctly applied now and I'll also receive a $10 credit on next month's bill to make up for the missed discount this month. (Hope this all makes sense!)
  
  Maybe to avoid this stuff up, make sure you receive a confirmation email of your $10 discount to ensure it's been correctly applied from the get-go, because I never received confirmation after chat for the $10 off which might be why it wasn't reflected in my first bill. Otherwise you could jump onto the chat to ensure it's been applied correctly.
  - peco on 05/04/2018 - 18:05
    
    My first bill was also $59. The rep on the online chat said it should be $49 and applied a $10 credit to the current bill and said it should be fine next month.

Bought from JB hifi today. Port from Telstra $39 cap staff/friends plan to $10 Optus pre-paid at ~10am, new phone at 2pm same day.

Online chat for $10 discount and extra 5Gb. Hoping to later single bill to 25% staff plan discount bill for $36.75pm.

Tax invoice shows $1416 inc $128.73 tax. Does anyone know if this receipt is eligible for TRS? I am heading O/S next week.

If so, 24mnth total will be $753.27. Bargain.

All The Fire on 04/04/2018 - 11:37

Glad I checked back into this post, just got the $10 discount.

After the discount, and comparing what I was paying for a sim only plan at optus and my cancellation fee. This is essentially a $538 Pixel 2 XL to me. Some people are probably doing better, but I still can't believe this deal.

  - All The Fire on 06/04/2018 - 07:25
    
    There is no reference number.
    
    I did it by going through the website live chat, so they don't have your details from the start. I asked if they offer $10 per month discount to porting in customers as I knew some people that received it. When they confirmed it then I asked for it and gave them my details.
    
    The first time I tried in the app they had my details from the start and said no as I already had the extra 5gb add on.

Tried to get the port in $10 credit last night via chat and then phone call and was told that family and friends $59 plan with pixel 2XL is no eligible for the $10 port in credit. I’ll have to keep on trying then.
- crackman on 06/04/2018 - 20:42
  
  I got a similar message. Port in credit is available on all plans. But not your plan.
  Instead I was given the 5gb extra
  - avra06 on 06/04/2018 - 21:00
    
    Yeah ive received an additional 10GB credit when I initially got this phone but after reading this thread i thought id try the $10 bonus port in credit. Im assuming that others on this thread are on the $59 family and friends plan and also receiving a $10 credit so ill keep on trying lol.

I had a Telstra Pre Paid. Ported over to Vodafone today noon. Had a chat with Telstra to finalise the port out. Successfully signed up $59 plan with Pixel 2 XL at JB HiFi. Again had a chat with Telstra for $10 port in and was successfully applied. Will try my luck for 5 GB tomorrow.

JB Hifi is currently selling 128gb model cheaper than 64gb model when purchased outright. Could you buy 64gb phone in $59 plan and then swap the phone with 128gb? Realistically they should return you the difference in price of two models, but would be just fine at no price difference as well. Has anybody done that?

Here is how I opened:

VAIBHAV:
Hello!

VAIBHAV:
Welcome to Telstra. How may I assist you with today?

XXXXXX: Hi, I recently ported into telstra from optus and I heard there's a $10 discount for people who port to Telstra. My friend who ported in with me was offered a $10 discount after chatting to online telstra chat.
Talos on 06/04/2018 - 22:39

How long does the discount and extra quota take to show up on the account?? i spoke to someone at telstra this afternoon who said they applied both the $10 discount and extra 5gb to the account and they gave me a transaction ID number for the change but nothing is showing up in the Telstra 24/7 app yet to show any difference.

brendenkoh on 07/04/2018 - 00:47

Hi guys,
I'm going to sign up to this deal - but am an existing member with Telstra.
Can anyone give me a suggestion of the best way to just port out to another carrier, and then to port back in to Telstra? Can i do it with a $2 sim or something like that? Or even online?
- kevind23 on 07/04/2018 - 09:15
  
  In the comments people are suggesting that Telstra track your number for up to 3 months after porting out, so you might not be eligible.
  - haji on 07/04/2018 - 11:55
    
    My daughters number was with Telstra, not on a plan. She didn't have any credit but number still operated. I ported out to Optus with $2 sim at Optus store, 10 mins later got an email from Optus saying welcome to Optus. Walked to JB HiFi and said I want to sign up to $59 deal. Got approved.
TezBiAn on 07/04/2018 - 08:59

I don’t know how you’re all getting the $10 off via online chat. Tried with three different people last night and again this morning and they all said they can’t give me the $10 savings because this is already a special deal and the $10 off deal is only for their ‘normal’ plans when you port over.

Could it be that those who did get the $10 savings - the person you chatted with just said that to make you sign up and your bills are $59/month?
- dormammu on 07/04/2018 - 11:58
  
  I've yet to receive my bill on this plan, so I can't say for sure if it's correctly applied.
  
  I was able to get the $10 credit last night. What happened was: my friend got the discount by saying "I wanted to confirm the $10 discount for newly ported telstra customers was being honoured". What I told my rep was "my friend received the discount, can I get the same?"
  
  They asked me if I was a newly ported customer and I confirmed with, "Went from voda to telstra and that I ported just this week". The person accommodated me pretty well without resistance. Still have to see if it's correctly applied though.
kevind23 on 07/04/2018 - 09:10

Am I reading the ETC right - since the phone is not associated with the plan (it's a BYO plan), then the ETC caps out at $708 and no device charge. Or do they somehow track that you were given a device at the start, and you have to pay that back too?
barga in on 07/04/2018 - 10:16

In sixth attempt, I was successful in getting $10 discount. First time on phone when signing up. Three times on chat. Then again on phone and last one on chat.

Key for me was asking them whether a new customer is eligible for a porting credit. The answer will be yes. And then asking them to apply on your account. If they retract their original wording hold them to account. How is customer able to know that what plan is eligible and what not. Jb hifi sales rep also did tell me the same thing.

Hope you get lucky
haji on 07/04/2018 - 11:56

I just received my first bill and the total is $50.90 which includes 1 day of pro-rata. So yeah $10 discount applied. Fantastic deal.

Hello OZb,
Any ideas, which smartwatch is compatlble with the Oreo update.
I have moto 360 but hardly working (watch issues I believe as 1st gen)
Recently bought Amazefit face from gearbest, but would not connect with oogle Pixel 2 Xl.
It worked fine with the app downloaded on Samsung s6 edge.

  Did you get the earphones and Google Home Mini as well? I was thinking of going to Glendale.

    Sorry slow response. Yes it's the pack. I'm rather enjoying messing with the Google mini and the headphones are decent enough for bundled item.

Fantastic, was able to get the $10 off per month after the second attempt. Tried an hour later for the 5gb upgrade and got that on the first try (Priyanka too). $49 with a new phone and 20gb on Telstra, insane deal! Thanks OP and guy that mentioned the $10 off per month, legends.

Has anyone had luck when already in contract? I have 5 months left. Tried 3 times on 24/7 chat…. no luck

  No. Why would Telstra void your contract or let you cancel it with no penalty? It's a contract.

    Because you would be signing on for a further 2 years…..

      Refused to budge. Many times.
      Had to pay exit fee in the end.
      Bought out my old phone sold it on. Covered most of the fees. I'm still ahead

      @diddy50:
      
      Yea destroying their loyalty base with these deals. Will bite them in the long run IMO.

This was posted 6 years 8 months 23 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
