This is a new addition to the offer described here
Was in store today asking about the $45 deal and rep mentioned that they have just started this new deal. I believe the $45 offer is still ongoing.
The plan is described as $65pm on a 12 month contract with a $10pm port-in credit applied until recontract. 60gb data per month. $300 gift card is given on the spot.
For new or port only, not for existing Telstra customers.
What are the cancellation fees if you want to cancel after 6 months? I went into jb hi-fi Adelaide today to ask but there is nothing to read and no literature. Their staff are over run with 3 or 4 customers shouting at them at the same time as the place is so understaffed. So I could not find out.
I did find out yesterday that they will give you an iPhone 6s 32gb phone as an alternative to the gift card. It is a Telstra prepaid and so locked to Telstra and requires at least $80 of recharges to unlock the phone.
Try look it up through Telstra. JB doesn't really have anything to do with the plan other than the initial processing and the gift card, so the cancellation policy will be the same as whatever cancellation policy Telstra normally have on their $65 BYO plan.
Telstra don't have a $65 byo plan. The plan is unique to jb hi-fi so I can't find any information summary.
The cancellation policy should be the same still though.
Testras $69 BYO has a maximum of $414 early termination charge.
If you can't be bothered speaking to someone from JB or Telstra, I'd say it's safe to assume a similar charge on the $65 plan.
Took up the plan yesterday. Early termination fee is $390. It is a 12 month contract so you can't just cancel at any time and not expect any fees. $390 is worked out from $65 a month times 6 months. So with getting the gift card the early cancel fee is not big but it's present. The jb hi-fi guy joked that without a fee people would just sign up then port out and take the gift card.
Is the $45 and $200GC still available?
Yes.
I went in today to sign up for the $55 ($65) but it apparently ended on the 10th. The staff were surprised.
I signed up for the $45 plan and revived a $200 Gift Voucher.
Hey mate
I saw your post about JB HI Fi and the 49 dollar deal for new or ported numbers.
I've been with tesltra for over 10 years, i always obviously miss out by being loyal to them as a result.
Is there anything stopping me from getting a new number and then calling up and asking for my number to be transfered over OR by buying an optus prepaid and getting it ported over and then doing it that way (maybe by doing it this way - this could be a loop hole as it is a port first as opposed to a new contract)
a response would be appreciated. Thank you if your volunteering your time to answer this as well.
Thanks
Robert
Looks like all gift card options has expired, just checked
No they haven't
Yesterday I was able to successfully port out of Telstra to Optus for a total of $2 (no recharge), and then back into Telstra within 24 hours, and sign up for the $45 plus $200 gift card offer. Thanks OzB.
The rep did offer me the $55 plan but the signs around the store noted that it expired on 18 March. Whether he wasn’t aware it had expired or he was able to still offer it I’m not sure
Is this offer still on?
Yes, it is.
However I have not had luck getting any JB staff to port me back into Telstra as I only left telstra 7 days ago.
The terms and conditions say you need to have left Telstra for 30 days.
You will see posters above saying they were able to port out and back in within 24 hours. I have done that in the past, but have not been able to this time around.
Any tips to port back early?
Has anyone successfully been with telstra, ported off temporarily, and then back to claim one of their deals?
I signed up last year with one of their deals, but as it'll be reverting back to full price soon I'll be looking for a different option
