    This is an awesome deal! Was going to get the Pixel XL Telstra deal but will hold out for this! Thanks so much OP

    • bchliu on 08/03/2018 - 21:51

      Not for iPhone 7.. The Pixel 2XL is much better value. iPhone 8 plus I'll be interested.

      • WizardofOZ on 08/03/2018 - 21:56

        @bchliu the Pixel 2XL is good value, but iPhone 7 retains it’s value better and is good for those in the Apple ecosystem.

        • bchliu on 08/03/2018 - 21:59
          +4

          Bit of a misnomer about keeping value better - maybe in the same generation. These are more than a generation difference (Pixel 2XL directly competes with the X in pricing and market position), so the Pixel2XL is definitely worth more than the iPhone 7 even over it's lifetime.

        • syl on 08/03/2018 - 22:44

          @bchliu:
          If u look up iPhone 7 plus… It does cost more than pixel 2xl

        • bchliu on 08/03/2018 - 23:27

          @syl: LOL.. show me a store that sells iPhone 7 plus to cost MORE than Pixel 2 XL. Current price 128GB models:
          Pixel 2XL: $1549 (JB HIFI)
          https://www.jbhifi.com.au/phones/Outright-Mobile-Handsets/go…
          iPhone 7+: $1199 (Apple)
          https://www.apple.com/au/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-7/5.5-inch-d…
          iphone 8+ 256GB: $1479 (Apple)
          https://www.apple.com/au/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-8/5.5-inch-d…
          iphone X 64GB: $1579 (Apple)
          https://www.apple.com/au/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-x#00,10

          You will need to hit up to the Iphone X before it compares to the Pixel2 XL in price. It is even more expensive than the iphone 8+ at the highest capacity.

          @syl:
          Compare 64GB:
          Pixel 2XL: $1399
          https://www.jbhifi.com.au/phones/Outright-Mobile-Handsets/go…
          iPhone 8 Plus: $1229
          https://www.jbhifi.com.au/phones/Outright-Mobile-Handsets/ap…

          the Pixel 2XL is $1399 is more expensive than the iPhone 8 Plus 64GB and definitely more cheaper than any iphone 7 plus model including the 256GB version.

        • Brianqpr on 09/03/2018 - 10:33

          Pixel a current phone though while iphone 7 is already out of date. I'd expect the pixel to be worth more in 12 months time.

        • syl on 09/03/2018 - 14:00

          @bchliu:

          you are comparing RRP?
          y would you do that if you're talking about retain value/resale value?

        • bchliu on 09/03/2018 - 14:11

          @syl: Because these are NEW Australian Stock. The current Second hand market today has the iPhone 7 plus 128GB at around $650-700 (used). The Pixel 2 XL 64GB is $1000 (used). That's giving you the advantage of 128GB too instead of comparing the 32GB version which is around $500 used. The original Pixel XL 128GB is $650 used which is more comparable to the iPhone 7 Plus. NOT Pixel 2 XL.
          You lose either way.

    • unknown101 on 08/03/2018 - 21:36

      International calls are not included, but can be added for an extra $10/mth and that will give you calls to 15 countries. No link for detailed plan inclusions as this will start tomorrow

  • nuts on 08/03/2018 - 21:39

    Just chatted with a Telstra rep, he confirmed the sale but couldn’t tell me anything except find out more in store. Are they all really the same flat price of 59/month?

        Seriously great deal, I hope I don’t have to fight too many other ozbargainers to get there!

    • rhymingboxer1 on 09/03/2018 - 08:05

      I got the Pixel 2XL when the original deal came out last week. Yeah the price is $59 only and you get the new phone feeling from Telstra too but, you cannot opt out of the plan or you will have to pay the price of the phone too.

      • nuts on 09/03/2018 - 08:08

        Yeah I’m feeling like the Pixel would be the smart choice to get for immediate resale but this is for my old man who wants the iPhone.

  • acg21 on 08/03/2018 - 22:02

    Thanks OP awesome deal - I am happy that I held off on the Pixel 2 XL. I actually went into the Telstra store today and the girl didn't know about any Pixel 2 XL family and friends deal and there was no way I could show her the deal. How would I show this deal to the Telstra reps in the Telstra store tomorrow?

    • unknown101 on 08/03/2018 - 22:11
      +3

      Just mention the family and friends offer for the iPhone 7 or Pixel 2. As long as you are porting your number to Telstra it will be fine :)

      • acg21 on 08/03/2018 - 22:12

        Thanks Unknown, again awesome deal!

  • Purley23 on 08/03/2018 - 22:13

      Go buy a $2 sim, port out and back in. Barely takes any time at all.

  • notbad on 08/03/2018 - 22:26

    So can you buy a prepaid card to quality for port in?

    • unknown101 on 08/03/2018 - 22:34

      If you purchase a Pre-paid card from another carrier and port that across, then yes you will qualify. But that means you would have to get a new number.

      • Purley23 on 08/03/2018 - 22:36
        +1

        So I can port out of PAYG to another provider and then port in to this and should be ok assuming I can do it quickly enough to still get the phone I want in stock?

        • unknown101 on 08/03/2018 - 22:40

          That would not work as the Telstra system still displays your number, I think Telstra would be cracking down on that lol

        • Purley23 on 08/03/2018 - 22:43

          @unknown101: wonder how long you have to be a customer of a different telco for it to work…if the offer goes till 30 March

        • pennypincher98 on 09/03/2018 - 19:39

          I got a bonus 5GB for asking on the Pixel 2 XL deal, but apparently they don't offer it - you've got to ask nicely. I did have a Prepaid data USB modem - this was on my consumer account though, so don't think that played a part.
          Also, if you have an ABN - sign up for a business account and the 5GB is an offered bonus.

    • Spidey on 09/03/2018 - 10:30

      Just ask them for the same deal. I regularly argue with Telstra that existing customers should get better deals than others. I have a $30 PM credit on my mobile account to match a port in promo.

      • tomsco on 09/03/2018 - 12:45

          It's all completely dependent on stock availability in store but if it is in stock, you can get it.

  • Sandoness on 08/03/2018 - 22:47

    I'm currently just prepaying my own phone right now with Telstra, will I not qualify for this deal if I go instore tomorrow?

    • Bernstar on 08/03/2018 - 22:50

      Port in means transferring your service from another provide to Telstra.
      In your case, it would not be considered as a port in as such.

      Perhaps as others suggested, 'port out' to another carrier on prepaid, for instance, Optus.
      Then you can port back into Telstra postpaid.

    • mccarthyp64 on 09/03/2018 - 00:44

      Telstra uses Starhub in Singapore but just about every provider will have great reception over there because it's so densely populated.

      • Mitch889 on 09/03/2018 - 07:06

        Yep, was in Singapore last month and the Telstra roaming reception was solid. Full 4G showing from the moment I turned off flight mode.

        The extra service has to be on the same account, on the same bill and be a post paid service. Pre paid will not be eligible as an extra service. Hope this helps

    24 months is too long, $59 is too much, 15gb is too little. The price of mobile plans is going to drop and the gigs are going to go up significantly later this year, Telstra is trying to lock people down.

    • Blurem on 08/03/2018 - 23:41

    • doweyy on 08/03/2018 - 23:42

      For the Pixel 2 XL, the plan is essentially free in this instance considering the RRP, you're saying they're going to pay you to have a phone then? Good luck.

    • Alfonso on 09/03/2018 - 00:33

      it means pay for the rest of the phone and the exit fee for breaking contract early.

      • MatthewSoul on 09/03/2018 - 00:43

        • pennypincher98 on 09/03/2018 - 06:54
          +1

          Yeah it's under "including anything Telstra was going to cover" - the Pixel 2 XL for instance is $101 a month for 2GB data or $59 a month for 15(+5)GB data.
          If you cancel, you pay the phone's monthly costs.

          So yeah, cheaper to simply not use the plan than to cancel it. Logic.

      Talking to Telstra chat now:

      1. "Yes we do have that offer: iPhone 7 Plus 32GB Jet Black on the $59 deal with 15GB data allowance and UNLIMITED national talk & text this is for 24 months contract"

      2. "Yes, however it is iPhone 7 only not the PLUS 128GB Black color" <- Context, the 128GB is only available in the non-plus iPhone 7 variant

      So you can buy online now iPhone 7 Plus 32gb Jet Black or iPhone 7 128gb Black (There is only a single color available for each model)

      (I expect stores will also be able to offer the deal if they have stock of those models/colors, it might take a bit of time for them to get the deal/confirm from head office)

      I've just purchased an iPhone 7 Plus 32GB Jet Black via Telstra Chat now

      • Shads on 09/03/2018 - 10:07
        +2

        I'm on Telstra chat now and they are signing me up to the deal with the iPhone 7 Plus 128GB in Black.
        They said it's only available while stocks last and they have 30 left.

        So those who want it best to contact them ASAP.
