        Was @ JBHIFI last sunday asking about the $35 plan with $200 credit.

        Was told about plan above - but they said "New Plans" are coming ~ Wait a week

        • firestint on 25/09/2018 - 22:30

          I think it's just a new prepaid plan with JB that is yet to be launched.

        • Bargearse on 25/09/2018 - 22:31

          Ready for a new plan, on the 20gb $40 one from 12 months ago. Anyone avoided the port out port in saga through Telstra chat? Is it easy enough to buy a $2 sim and port back in for the JB $200 gift card? Anyone wanna buy a gift card next week haha

          • Danxdeals on 26/09/2018 - 07:31

      Join Amway as a rep. and then get 20% off. Apart from that unfortunate road to getting 20% off $199 ($40 off). the most Telstra has offered is $20 off the Ultimate plan which you can get by talking to the correct person who knows what they are doing.

    Has anyone been successful in porting out to another carrier and port back in the same day? Was told by one store need 30 days and the other store told me three months (he has no clue).

    • bigdog989 on 25/09/2018 - 23:00

      I went through that 6 months ago.

      The most consistent answer I got was that you needed to wait a month however sometimes they are willing to try to put it through their system. It accepted it on my occasion and they were happy.

      In a nut shell, I went to one store to get the plan then took the gift card to another to buy the phone… all because only one was happy to port me back so quickly and the other offered a bit of a deal on the phone. Pays to shop around, even within the same company :)

    • tunzafun001 on 25/09/2018 - 23:07

      Did anyone visit a Telstra store and ask them to remove your old telstra account once you ported out? I remember reading this somewhere. Say something like, you want it removed to avoid any confusion if you port out of your new provider, but the porting system still thinks you are with Telstra. This is exactly what happens with Optus. Worth a shot.

      • ONEMariachi on 25/09/2018 - 23:21
        +5

        As someone that worked for Telstra. Removing the old account makes absolutely no sense in terms of how siebel works.

        • tunzafun001 on 26/09/2018 - 09:22

          Okee dokes. I'm purely basing this on visiting a Telstra store once after my phone was stolen and they were setting up a new sim. They looked up my details and about 5 old mobile / data accounts came up. They asked me if I wanted to remove the accounts no longer needed 'to avoid future confusion'? They did it right there and then. Never had an issue porting in /out of Telstra.

          However, Optus always comes up as my number being a current customer when I port back, even though I hadn't been an Optus customer for 6 months between ports. Obviously just a coincidence, or they have changed the system recently to worm out us old sim s!uts

          • ONEMariachi on 26/09/2018 - 14:55

            @tunzafun001: Generally You have one account with Telstra that stays active, and can't be deleted. Then you can build billing accounts within that. It's possible, if you had several "data" accounts that they were likely separate billing accounts within your account that were possibly Prepaids?

            Disconnecting the services will cause that billing account to go into inactive status, which will then delete them once they have been unused for 6 months.

      • DanielR on 28/09/2018 - 06:52

      I was going for the $49/model + $200 GC a few months back. I ported out to Vodafone and within 5hrs or so I went to sign up to the Telstra plan and it worked no problem. I didn't speak to any reps or anything. Just did it at home myself.

      • readeral on 26/09/2018 - 10:58

        How did you do it at home?

        • CaptainTrentos on 26/09/2018 - 18:42

          I meant I just did the porting to Vodafone at home, sorry. Then I went in store to get the deal and port back. No messing around with reps online though.

          • readeral on 26/09/2018 - 18:50

            @CaptainTrentos: Ah sure. Did you do it same day, or wait a month?

            • CaptainTrentos on 26/09/2018 - 19:42

              @readeral: I was able to do it all within the same day. I ported to Vodafone in the morning, then a few hours later I went to JB and ported back to Telstra with no issues.

    • burningrage on 26/09/2018 - 00:33

      I can tell you that I have recently relegated my postpaid TLS to prepaid and waited 2 days and managed to get the $39/20gb + $200 JB Hifi card.

      Then you go for $500 off on phones above $999 rrp.

    Existing customers (out of contract) can also upgrade to the $65pm deal over 24 months and claim a $300 GC towards a new phone 📱 👍

  • RogueWolf on 26/09/2018 - 02:52
    +26

    Very smart how they advertise the deal.. Those $65 deals sound ok until you work it out eg:

    $65 x 24pm = $1560

    Say you choose a $1400 phone minus the $500 credit = $900

    $1560 + $900 = $2460 over 24m = $102.50pm

    Really your signing up to a $102pm plan over 24m (depending what phone you choose) unless you really need Telstra service I’d be shopping around

    If your going to pay up $999 upfront you shouldn’t be locking yourself in for 24m.. Work it out before signing up

    • [Deactivated] on 26/09/2018 - 08:44
      +2

      Yep in the end it works out effectively about $40-45/month (plus cost of phone) when you can get ~$39 as a fairly regular deal anyway without the circus maths and only a 12 month commitment.

    Do you think there will be a $10 port in credit for this new $45 plan? I dont see how thus plan is better as they claimed but only pay $6 more to get 5gb.

    If not, do they still have the old $39 (incl $10 port credit) for 20gb + $200 voucher?

    Also with the $10 port in credit, does it stick for the life of the contract (until you change plans) or only for the first 12 months?

    • p3t0r on 26/09/2018 - 05:54

      12 months. During the contract only

      • Jalapno on 26/09/2018 - 06:20

        That sucks. Has anyone succesfully negotiated with telstra for a permanent $10 off?

        I found this
        https://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/plans-and-rates/com…

        Is this a permanent $10 off as it doesnt say for 12 mths only. Might be a better deal compared to jb one long term.

      • Jalapno on 26/09/2018 - 07:02

        Just checked with telstra chat. If you sign with telstra the $10 is life of plan (asked me to see terms once i sign up). However they cannot twll me if it is the same if i sign through jb.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/09/2018 - 08:56

      Telstra currently don't separate the network tiers from a billing perspective. You will generally have access to all available technologies (3G, 4G etc) and will generally default to best available within practical limits.

  • MountFranklin on 26/09/2018 - 06:06

  • Osiris on 26/09/2018 - 10:52

    Would have preferred they just bring back 39/20. Still factoring in the 200 it's better value PM than the optus deal if you don't need 30gb.

  • opfi on 26/09/2018 - 12:45

    I was on telstra prepaid and moved to Vodafone postpaid and within 24hrs went to JB Hifi for Telstra 45$ plan - everything worked like a charm. My number ported back to Telstra in 10 mins.

    Collected my 200$ card - it lowers my payment to 28.33$/month overall.

    • Jalapno on 26/09/2018 - 16:51

      It is good for the first 12 mths at $28 but then onwards it will be $45. I still dont think this is a better deal than the previous $39 for 20gb + $200gc.

      • opfi on 26/09/2018 - 18:22

  • MBix on 26/09/2018 - 14:09

    So I did the similar deal earlier this year ported out to Optus and back in to Telstra and scored the $200 gift card. Am in the last couple months of my contract and Telstra is telling me it'll set me back $84.50 to end my contract early. Almost worthwhile porting out again and coming back in!

      As an existing customer you can sign up to the $65 plan and would qualify for a $300 gift card.

      If you were to port out you'd have to wait 30 days before porting back in, at which point the offer might have ended.

      • Rifraf on 27/09/2018 - 19:38

        Thanks for the speedy response.

        I've just been using the $50 a month prepay which I think gives about 7 or 8gb.

        To keep my number I think I'll try to port to vodafone for a month or two in order to be ready to jump on the next deal.

        $65 plan is outside of my present budget unfortunately and I don't want to be stuck with a 2 year contract.

        I'm pretty happy with my iPhone 6 and don't see any pressing need to upgrade.

      • MBix on 28/09/2018 - 19:41

      3) call Telstra & transfer your old number to the new plan and new number to old plan then cancel old plan
      4) win

      Is transferring numbers to different plans really a thing?? Didn't even know this

        Let me see if I've got this right:
        1) buy Optus prepaid & activate

        1) Buy telstra prepaid and activate.

        Steps 2, 3 and 4 remain same.

        FTFY
