Hi all,
Just ported in my number back into Telstra using this amazing offer from JB-HiFi.

Basically you get $500 JB Hi-Fi Gift Card (with no expiry) when you sign on to JB Hi-Fi Telstra 12 Months Plan for $65/month which offers Unlimited Local calls and 60GB Data.

Update (20/06): As per latest reports from the comments, this has been revised to $300 Gift Card as of today i.e. $500 offer withdrawn a bit earlier.

For those who would rather buy a handset, there are several offers as listed below:
(I managed to have a quick glance at their internal email, so sharing the love)

Samsung Note 8 - $199 upfront
Oppo Find X 256GB - $199 upfront
Huawei Mate 20 - $199 upfront
Samsung S10e - $399 upfront
Samsung Note 9 128GB - $599 upfront
Google Pixel 3 64GB OR Huawei P30 - $199 upfront - Update (20/06)

LATEST UPDATE (13/06),
From 13/06 to 16/06, instead of the $500 OR the Handset Offers already mentioned above, you can also choose to avail one of the following offers:
$0 Upfront: Hisense 43" 43R6 TV OR XBOX One X 1TB Console OR iPad 128GB 6th Gen (Wi-Fi model) - Update (16/06): This particular option is now extended to 19th June ans is also open to new customers

$49 Upfront: Apple Watch 42mm (Series 3)
$99 Upfront: iPhone 7 (32GB)
$799 Upfront: Oppo Reno 5G
Update (20/06): These options are now expired

All offers are for port-in customers only. [Having said that, I ported out of Telstra for couple of hours this morning and managed to port right back in using this offer without any issues - so worth a go!]

Note: From what I understand, this particular offer may not have any signage to promote it in the stores, so do try mentioning it to JB Hi-Fi staff in order to avail the offer. This offer expires on 23 June but if keen I would recommend getting it sooner than later (just in case it gets withdrawn earlier). Have a great day folks!

Edit: To answer a common query from comments - This Plan does not include Peace of Mind (POM) data OR $10 International Calling Pack

Edit 2: For those keen on scoring even higher bang for the bucks, for an extra $4/month you can easily upgrade this plan to Telstra’s $89 BYO plan (currently discounted to $69/month) via Online 24x7 chat, thereby giving you (hold your breath):

• Extra 30GB data (total of 90GB data including Peace of Mind (POM) data)

• Unlimited international talk & text to 15 selected countries (i.e. Bangladesh, Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Lebanon, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, UK, USA and Vietnam)

• International roaming - 2GB data roaming and unlimited talk & text in eligible countries (Argentina, Austria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, Estonia, Fiji, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Laos, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macau, Macedonia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nauru, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovak Rep, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, UAE, UK, USA, Uruguay, Vanuatu, Vietnam)

If you do international travel and/or make overseas calls to the above destinations this is the BEST VALUE mobile plan ever (in my humble opinion) as you'll be effectively paying just $27.3/month for all of the above! Update (20/06): Gift card has now been reduced from $500 to $300.

                  @googoogaga: So i went to a third store today at broadway syd, guy didnt call anyone and started straight if processing everything. Had no isdues and ported numbers across - $700 gift card, $65 plan and $45 plan signed up today.

                  Went on telstra chat however only managed to get $59 plan (same as $65 jb hifi plan) except with $10 discount. Changed jb higi plan to $49 and then received $10 discount to bring down to $39 but did lose 20gb though but negotiated getting peace of mind data add in on this plan.

          • Rochie on 08/06/2019 - 08:03

            @Trebenista: Unless they have changed something since I worked there. They get no revenue from porting someone in within 39 days so they choose not to do it. If you get a consultant who doesn't check or doesn't care will generally do it out of generosity.

            • Trebenista on 08/06/2019 - 08:09

              @Rochie: I recall last year when i first signed up they did it all on the pc…this guy was doing it via a phone call to someone??

                @Trebenista: Maybe JB don't have the access to override or apply something and need to call telstra team to apply something or process it.

    • tromboc on 07/06/2019 - 21:53

      From my memory, the way the Telstra accounts exist are like:

      "Customer Account" -> "Billing Account/s" -> "Service/s"

      You can (should) only have one customer account. This is not the number on your bill, instead it represents a person, with their credit information, residential address, etc. Each "customer" can have as many billing accounts as they wish/desire/need, all with different account settings, debit arrangements etc, billing addresses, with different services on each. If you get multiple bills for different services for the same person, this is likely the reason why. These billing accounts are the 13 digit account number starting with 2000 (or shorter if there are still legacy business accounts around, I dunno they were phasing out when I left).

      If you port out to another carrier, the billing account that your service was previously associated with may still be active, showing all the activity that has taken place, service additions, modifications, credits applied etc. Anyone with access to Telstra systems and can be bothered to spend the 20sec to check can easily see that you were with Telstra previously, as the old billing account will still be active, and I don't blame them for checking, as Telstra will likely claw back any bonus payments claimed for "new" customers, as they weren't really new customers, and it's on the retailer to double check. Fair or not is another topic…

      What you really would need to do, if this is still the case, and still possible (Telstra are constantly in the process of limiting system access to their dealers), is to deactivate the old billing account altogether, after porting out. That used to be possible. Maybe still is? That way, when the average punter searches your number, it "shouldn't" come up as being associated with any accounts at all.

      YMMV, and my opinion is this is a morally ambiguous thing to do, as you are essentially tricking the retailer into giving you a bonus, which they will then claim from Telstra, and then likely still have the payment clawed back at a later date, leaving them at a loss. But I'm not your mum so do what you want.

      Edit: The 30 day thing is likely referring to a "billing cycle" which may automatically deactivate the billing account? I thought it was always 90 days as per the T&C anyway, so not sure where that number came from.

    Talked to a girl at JB Chadstone today. she mentioned and offered this deal to stack on top of the Google Pixel trade in deal.. potentially discounting $850 total (after porting to Telstra).

    • 18 on 07/06/2019 - 18:28

      I don't see why it wouldn't stack. Get $500 gc from this deal then use gc to pay for the pixel

      • txb on 07/06/2019 - 19:42
        +4

        I think he means the any smart phone trade in deal ($350 off pixel 3 / $100 off 3a) + $500 gc stack. Essentially making a 3a cost $49

          Pixel 3 XL
          Pixel 3a or 3a XL would only qualify for $100 trade in value

          • DukeNinja on 08/06/2019 - 00:36

    Haven’t dealt with port in deals before and conveniently my current plan contract finishes up next week.

    I can walk into a JB; request their $65/m (60gb offer) - they’ll fix me up and give me a $500 gift card? Is that how this works? Keeping my current handset?

      Just wondering…..

      https://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/sim-only-plans

      Current $89 per month plan for 90Gig and Peace of Mind is discounted to $69.

      If you dont (potentially) mind paying an extra $4 for a total of 90 gig…. i wonder if you can go onto live chat and "upgrade" your plan.

      Also get calls to 15 countries and 2 gig of international roaming.

      There are $0 cost to upgrade contracts, as long as its a higher plan.

      • mandelbrot on 07/06/2019 - 18:40

        Yes you can upgrade for no cost. I managed to get the $10pm port in credit, but was told I might lose it if I changed plans. They couldn't be sure. Anyone know?

        • JoJoker on 09/06/2019 - 11:40

          Wait, this $10 port in credit – I just (haven't got my first bill yet) ported from Optus to the $45 plan – am I eligible for $10 port in credit?

          Edit: Ahhh, damn it. Looks like I could have saved some cash by going for this $65 plan w/ $500 credit + $10 phone credit vs $45 plan w/ $200 credit when buying a $1200 handset.

          $113/month vs $128/month and an extra 10GB of data

          Edit again:

          People are reporting they got the $65 plan down to $49 – (1200-500)/12+49=$107 vs (1200-200)/12+35=$118 as I managed to live chat just now to get my $45 plan down to $35.

          This deal is incredible.

    24m instead of 12m mate.

    • singhdeals on 07/06/2019 - 18:45

      24 month and 12 month plans are two very different offers. Like the post describes this one is for 12 months contract with $500 Gift Card not phone credit.

    • BigLeviathan on 07/06/2019 - 18:46

      Oh… not 12m? Too bad

  • ranap on 07/06/2019 - 18:48

    Deal says Minimum plan cost $1560 over 24 months. OP's description says 12 months. Is it 12 or 24 months.

    Phone credit can only be used in store and is received when you connect to the $65 JB plan over 24 months.

    Additionally the phone credit condition says To receive the $500 phone credit the handset purchase price must be a minimum value of $999. Phone credit can’t be used on any other items in store. handset must be purchased the same day the connection is made.

    The deal seems far more restrictive than initially described in post.

    This means with JB's current old smartphone trade in, one can potentially pick up the Pixel 3a for $49 plus this plan…ie $100 trade in +$500 GC.

    • warrenkole on 07/06/2019 - 20:23
      -1

      That would be awesome, however I think that the Pixel 3a would only qualify for the $300 GC as it's below $999.

      So $649 (original price) - $100 (trade in old smart phone) - $300 (gift card from this deal

      = $249 by my calculations.

      • yummypinacolada on 07/06/2019 - 20:55
        +1

        No, you still get $500 gift card, its a gift card that you can use for anything not a phone credit. So yes, you can only pay $49 for the pixel 3a.

        I just said how the JB rep had told me I would be eligible for an additional $10 port in discount if I switched to Telstra. They had to check with a supervisor who approved straight away. YMMV cos I've seen plenty of others say that they weren't able to get it - I could've just been lucky!

  • dammit on 07/06/2019 - 20:34

    wow this is a good deal. I just signed up for $49 click frenzy telstra deal for almost the same plan (few extras like intl calling which I won't use, peace of mind data etc).

    $65/mth * 12 = $780 total plan cost.

    $780 - $500 gift card (assuming it is of $500 value to you…-debatable)= $280 plan net cost.

    $280 /12= $23.33 a month net cost of plan for 12 mths…nice!

      As long as you're a new customer to Optus, you can cancel the plan if you're not happy with the service within 30 days of signing up to a new plan, under their Network Coverage guarantee. So, if you were to work in a location where Optus' service is subpar, you could cancel the contract, within 30 days of signing up. Just pay out your calls and anything else owing, return the phone in good working order. This can be done instore or online.

      That'd be your best bet.

    Can someone please help - when I open the link the op deal doesn't come up - is it different viewing on mobile

      Yes, go and read the post again.

      For some reason JB doesn't bother putting their limited time deals on their site, you need to go in store.

    Hey what would be the cost for the s10 and s10+?

  • DukeNinja on 08/06/2019 - 00:51

    Any ideas on what that $20 Coles handset was?

    What would the early termination fee be for this plan? Say, I get this with the $500 gc and then cancel the contract? I’m assuming there’d be some profit?

      It's $65/month, so $780 plus probably an early termination fee of $100 for cancelling in the first 3 months. Not sure how you're working out that there would be a profit?

    Confirming that I went into JB Hi-Fi (Broadway, Sydney) yesterday afternoon and ported in to the Telstra $65/month plan (60gb) for 12 months for which I received a $500 JB Hi-Fi voucher. I then traded in a iphone4s for another $100 voucher towards a Pixel 3a (they are still accepting trade ins). With $600 worth of vouchers, I only had to pay $49 for the Pixel 3a in store. When I got home I got onto telstra 24x7 live chat and asked about the $10 port in credit, instead of going down to $55/month they managed to get my plan down to $49/month.

    The promo advertised online said to get the $500 voucher you had to sign up to the $65 plan for 24 months, so I had actually only planned to take up the $45/month (50gb) plan (down to $35/month with port in credit) for 12 months and receive the $200 gift card. In store the very helpful reps explained that I could take up the $65/month plan (down to $55/month with port in credit) for 12 months and receive the $500 voucher. Couldn't refuse this as it was effectively $20 more per month for 12 months ($240) to get an extra $300 voucher. After getting the plan down to $49/month this worked out to be an extra $14/month x12 ($168 more) for an extra $300 voucher (and an extra 10gb/month).

      What exactly are you getting for $49 pm? Are you able to tell us how you achieved this, Thanks.

        It's Telstra's own promo. 60GB, peace of mind data, etc for $49/month.

        YMMV depending on who you get on the live chat but the right person should swap the plans over. Just say you've only just ported in and wanted the port in credit but saw the plan on their website and it's a better deal due to the port in credit, EOFY discount blah blah blah.

          whitelie is spot on. Exactly this. I actually did the live chat before I went into JB Hi-Fi and had a telstra rep confirm that I would be able to get the $10 port in credit on both the $45 and $65 plans that were offered at JB Hi-Fi and give me a reference number. So when I got home after picking up the phone I jumped on live chat, gave them my order number for porting in and the reference number from my live chat about the port in credit. They then came back and said actually they could put me onto the $49 plan/month (60gb).

          This - Thanks for the tip. I did exactly what you suggested and got it the first time :)
