Considering the cost of this new phone which sells for $1199, this is a ripper deal with a $800 discount (better than a $500 GC)! Color OS may not be for everyone though!

Bear in mind, this is NOT the 5G model selling for $1499!

Plan inclusions: Unlimited National calls & SMS | 60GB Data | No International calls included.

Credit to Doweyy for the link. You can also claim the Bose Soundsport Free Wireless Headphones via redemption here if purchased before 14/07/2019!

The headphones go for about $200 when on Sale!

As per this comment, people have changed to the new BYO month to month plan with no ETC.

    Should be able to claim a pair of Bose Soundsport Free Wireless Headphones too from what I can tell?

    • aspirepranesh on 04/07/2019 - 10:37

      I was looking for the link :) Thanks mate.

  • ChickenAdobo on 04/07/2019 - 10:42

    I think there was a $799 Oppo Reno 5G promo with a similar plan as this at JBHIFI.

    • aspirepranesh on 04/07/2019 - 10:44

      Here it was!

      I for one, don't see value in paying $400 more for a 5G version, even though I am with Telstra.

      • ChickenAdobo on 04/07/2019 - 10:45

        I thought so. Sadly that expired.

    • Metre on 04/07/2019 - 22:55

      A little off topic, but with the Galaxy S10 5G, it's really annoying since it keep switching between 4 and 5. I'd say wait til iPhone's got them then upgrade to the 5G network.

  • mandelbrot on 04/07/2019 - 10:43

    Sign up to this deal. Change the plan to a Telstra month-to-month plan with no ETC. Then cancel :)

    • hypie on 04/07/2019 - 10:45

      You will have an ETC when you upgrade this 12 month contract to a month-to-month

      • aspirepranesh on 04/07/2019 - 10:48
        +1

        Yeah! I am confident that moving from a 12 month term to a month to month plan will be looked at as a termination of contract.

        I really hate telstra for changing their plans as I posted here

        I took the $65 plan with the P30 and switched to the $49 plan. Managed to offset the $199 device cost with the Huawei GC promo. That was a sick deal!

        • mandelbrot on 04/07/2019 - 10:52
          +2

          Except many people HAVE changed from a 12 month byo plan to a new month-to-month plan and paid no ETC, including myself.

          • aspirepranesh on 04/07/2019 - 10:57

            @mandelbrot: I stand corrected then. I was just going back to my days at Telstra in reference :) First time I have heard that people have successfully moved to the new plans with no ETC.

            If what you say can be done easily, you're pretty much getting the phone for $200!

          • CookieJacker31 on 04/07/2019 - 11:37

            @mandelbrot: Any idea what happens if you port out of the month to month after having switched there from 12 month contract? Nothing?

            Any tips on getting out of the ETC?

              @CookieJacker31: Technically the new Telstra plans have no cancellation costs since they are month-to-month.

              Only tip dealing with Telstra online chat is if one CSR tells you there is an ETC, cancel the chat and start a new chat. Dealing with Telstra is like tossing a coin.

        • thekensai on 04/07/2019 - 11:52

          i cancelled the plan but had 100+ points hit in my credit report. Not sure whether this is related?

      • bibimbap on 04/07/2019 - 11:36

        do you know how much is ETC?

    • bibimbap on 04/07/2019 - 11:35

      Another word you buy the plan today, go Telstra Chat to change your current plan $65 to Month to Month plan (how much is month to month plan?
      Do you cancel after they updated month to month?

      If it is right that means you only paid $399 upfront to JB :)

        Yes!

        Anyone who has actually done this and was successful? Thank you

        • mandelbrot on 04/07/2019 - 12:01

          I haven't cancelled the month-to-month service yet. But do have a Telstra chat transcript stating that there are no termination charges if I cancel the service or port out.

          • [Deactivated] on 04/07/2019 - 15:20

            @mandelbrot: thanks for your response. I would probably not risk it as I don't want to end up paying $65 per month

  • NotAnAudiophile on 04/07/2019 - 11:46

    Can someone confirm this can be done? D downgrade and cancel the plan without penalty?

  • scuderiarmani on 04/07/2019 - 11:50
    +2

    Surely Telstra closes the loophole to cancel the contract… Huge risk if you go in thinking it will.

  • NotAnAudiophile on 04/07/2019 - 11:52

    Correct is too big of a loophole
    Who has tried and has been successful?

  • NotAnAudiophile on 04/07/2019 - 12:07

    So essentially officially there is a ETC.

  • auindie on 04/07/2019 - 12:20

    Can anyone explain how to get international calls

    • Robc on 04/07/2019 - 15:17

      Skype.

    • pyramid on 05/07/2019 - 12:11

      Incoming calls are free so you can get international calls…

  • NotAnAudiophile on 04/07/2019 - 12:24

    Called JB direct and got told flatly there is a ETC of $390 by changing to any casual plan.

    • mandelbrot on 04/07/2019 - 12:32

      The change isn't done by JB. It's done by Telstra.

      • NotAnAudiophile on 04/07/2019 - 13:47
        -3

        I asked Telstra too, and they advised to contact JB.

        • mandelbrot on 04/07/2019 - 13:52
          +3

          So you asked both companies about effectively a loophole and whether you can utilise the loophole. What do you think their official response would be?

          • NotAnAudiophile on 04/07/2019 - 14:15

            @mandelbrot: I'm not saying this is a bad deal, I'm just saying there's a chance that someone might not be able to cancel without ETC. Its up to individual's whether that chance is worth it.

        • 2024 on 06/07/2019 - 22:53

          I had the same telstra chat response. Yet to try again, but their arguement was that its a differnt family of plans.

          Do the chat logs stay against my account, meaning the next time I chat they can jusg look and see I've already atempted to change?

          • 2024 on 08/07/2019 - 11:09

            @2024: Tried chat again last night, armed with the reasoning that a number of my 'friends' have made the exact same plan switch and were waived the ETC fee, because they're staying with telstra.

            He went away for a minute, came back and said no worries!

            So while I didn't get this deal, effectively if I cancel my plan I have gotten my $790 43" Hinsense tv for under $100!

    • thekensai on 04/07/2019 - 12:47

      that's no doubt the offical response in accordance to T&C

  • Serpeant on 04/07/2019 - 12:35

    With the $45 a month plan, you get a $200 gift card when signing up for 12 months.

    The gift cards are "*Available to port-in customers and new Telstra customers only."

    If I am currently on a Telstra plan that expires soon, can I port out for a day and jump back in and get the gift card?

    • tdonovic on 04/07/2019 - 12:56

      Probably needs to be 30 days

      Could you please share the reference? Thank you

    • thatsundance on 04/07/2019 - 18:11

      How did you get Telstra to waive the ETC? Thanks.

    • mandelbrot on 04/07/2019 - 18:33

      Wow! That's amazing. How is that possible when all these people are saying it's impossible and there's definitely an ETC!?!

      /End sarcasm

    • SNK on 04/07/2019 - 18:41

      Just talked through Telstra 24*7 app messaging section and asked if I can move to new month-to-month plan and they offered with waive of ETC.

  • Trishool on 04/07/2019 - 18:27

    What's the difference between this and the 5G version (besides the 5G modem)?

    • DivineEquinox on 04/07/2019 - 18:52

      just the 5G modem, otherwise same phone.

  • pzhon on 04/07/2019 - 21:51

    I got one and double confirmed there is no ETC after my plan got upgraded. Then I saved online transcript as reference.

    • OzSikh on 04/07/2019 - 21:56

      what plan you changed to ?

      • pzhon on 04/07/2019 - 21:57

        Upgraded to the top data option under month to month plan. Going to cancel it next month.

    • pzhon on 04/07/2019 - 21:57

      The loophole will be fixed soon, please don’t resist your desire if you want to have one.

  • japik on 04/07/2019 - 22:32

    I can also confirm I have changed my plan to 60gb month to month. NO ETC!!!!

    • NotAnAudiophile on 04/07/2019 - 22:39

      what did you say to Telstra?

      • Metre on 04/07/2019 - 22:58

        When Telstra try to redirect you to JB, say JB already redirected you to Telstra.

      • japik on 04/07/2019 - 23:02

        Telstra 24/7 App. Asked to change plan, he then asked what plan? I said the new 60gb plan. He then checked it up and sent me a link of the plan he thought I was referring to, I said yes that one and he then sent me the terms and conditions and asked if I agree? I said yes and he said it was all done. Got an email straight after.

        • NotAnAudiophile on 04/07/2019 - 23:03

          Did you specifically ask if there is cancellation charges?

        • truetypezk on 05/07/2019 - 01:59

          I thought the 60GB plan is only $60? Wouldn't that be a downgrade instead?

          • japik on 05/07/2019 - 11:08

            @truetypezk: Yep but no questions asked from rep.

          • mandelbrot on 05/07/2019 - 11:31

            @truetypezk: With the 12 month BYO plans, you can change to any sized plan, upgrade or downgrade.

            • truetypezk on 05/07/2019 - 12:30

              @mandelbrot: Yep I just changed mine to the $50 plan the online chat also says that "There will be early termination charge, will just waive it for you :)"
              That takes out any ambiguity I guess, fantastic.

  • NotAnAudiophile on 04/07/2019 - 23:19

    Ok I'm getting the idea of why this works. It's because Telstra updated their plans recently and now have no more 12 month plans. Whereas resellers like JB still have them and have not updated. So when you ask to change plan at Telstra, there is no like for like, thus the closest is the byo month to month plans. An I right ?

    Ported an old Optus iPad mobile broadband SIM from Optus to this plan this morning and received my phone.

  • dabaodedouzi on 05/07/2019 - 18:02

    contacted two customer service
    first one say 390 etc fee
    second one
    said If you will be cancelling your plan and port out you will be needing to pay the cancellation fee of $390.00. But if you will only chnage your plan we will be waiving that fee and recontract you to another plan.

    • truetypezk on 05/07/2019 - 19:52
      +1

      Probably they are catching up on that. I think the only reason that the deal still works is because it didn't make it to the front page.

    • NotAnAudiophile on 06/07/2019 - 06:59

      They can't " recontract you to another plan" as Telstra doesn't have contract plans anymore.

    Also wanted to post my experience.

    Went in to JB hi fi Bondi junction today and got the oppo phone deal. Got lucky and was able to snag the last phone in black that they had. I asked the sales person if I could get a new number with the deal but was told that it was port in only. She did mention that if I didn't want to port my number that I could just purchase any $2 SIM and port that over instead. I decided to port my number as it was less hassle and paid the $399 with a gift card.

    Got home and went on Telstra 24x7 chat and changed to the $50 month to month plan, no questions asked. The CSR was also nice enough to stay online with me until I received email and text confirmation of the change. No ETC. Have not cancelled completely as of yet. When I log in to my Telstra account it shows that I'm on the $50 small plan and the contract end date specifies that I am out of contract
