Same offer as last month's TGG deal but with a JB Hi-Fi gift card instead and can be purchased from Telstra directly (for the first time). There is also a $65 plan with $300 gift card, however you are better going off with TGG instead for that, as per this deal it has a $400 gift card.

Full details:

Offer:

$45/mth JB Hi-Fi BYO plan (min cost $540 over 12 months) – 50GB (15GB + 35GB bonus data) and a $200 JB Hi-Fi eGift Card
$65/mth JB Hi-Fi BYO plan (min cost $780 over 12 months) – 60GB (40GB + 20GB bonus data) and a $300 JB Hi-Fi eGift Card

Eligibility:

Only customers taking up a new Telstra mobile service or transferring a number from another carrier to a JB Hi-Fi BYO Mobile Plan are eligible to receive a JB Hi-Fi eGift Card.

Exclusion:

If you’re using a Boost or Telstra Pre-Paid mobile number to take up a JB Hi-Fi BYO Mobile Plan, you’re upgrading an existing service on the Telstra Mobile Network – which means you won’t receive a JB Hi-Fi eGift Card.

Offer period:

Limited time offer - 12th to 25th August 2019

How do I get my JB Hi-Fi eGift Card?

Once you’ve completed your order, we’ll send you a SIM card in the mail within 1-8 business days. To get your JB Hi-Fi eGift Card, you’ll need to activate your SIM card online. Once activated, JB Hi-Fi will email your eGift Card to you within 5 business days.

    Boost prepaid to telstra post paid no gift card. Ludicrous.

    • 2024 on 17/08/2019 - 10:09

      Boost is telstra without the advertising.

      Might as well say telstra to telstra port no gift card?
      Ludicrous

        From my understanding, Boost is not Telstra and are an independently owned businesss. They do however have a deal with Telstra to work along side and leverage off their network and offerings.
        Can only guess that its all about getting users who are not part of the Telstra network in any form to switch and in turn JB get their Telstra commissions?

          Seems telstra wholesale to telstra full is fine thpuoh as I took advantage of the free hisense tv offering a few months ago while switching from woolworths.

          I'm porting out to vodafone this month in preperation forthe next good deal.

      Was with belong kept dropping out, so I ported to Vodafone and it would drop when in shopping centre or under cover parking areas. Now back at Telstra and no issues.

      read the critical information pdf…
      it works out to 50% of the monthly charges per mth remaining on the contract

      Maximum
      Early
      Termination
      Charges
      (ETC)

      12mth - $270
      24mth - $780

      If you cancel, recontract or move to an ineligible plan then you
      will need to pay a Phone Credit Cancellation Fee pro-rated
      against the remaining months on your plan, the maximum of
      which is set out in the table above. This is in addition to any
      Early Termination Charges (ETCs) set out in the above table
      and accessory payments.

    • spackbace on 16/08/2019 - 17:37

      Port out for 30 days. It's the only way if you want to keep your number

      • wgradwell on 16/08/2019 - 17:39

        Has to be 30 days minimum? Is this shown in conditions anywhere?

        • spackbace on 16/08/2019 - 17:40

          Nfi. It's been mentioned in multiple Telstra deals

        • SuiCid3 on 16/08/2019 - 18:11

          Depends who you speak to when initiating the contract.
          Some have had success in getting the port-in bonus, I've been rejected twice for still being in the 30 day period.

          • kierann on 16/08/2019 - 20:21

          Not sure there are rules but people on here (for other deals) have said they ported out in the morning then back in the afternoon for the deal.

        • 2024 on 17/08/2019 - 10:12

          Longer than this deal is valid for.

      You'd be better off trying to get it on a business plan (if you have an ABN) and get the $5/$10 porting discount. They'll probably reject it, but worth a try. Got me an extra 10GB.

      Afaik no student discount exists.

    Similar to this long running deal direct with JB Hi Fi:
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/407199
    I've heard users have been able to abuse some weird ETC waive to get endless JB GCs. Which I do not encourage but up to you.

    Besides that you should be able to Live Chat Telstra Rep after you sign up and ask for $10 port in credit that will be applied to the life of your contract.

                        @mengqing: Ongoing $10 port in credit ended for all new plans launched in June and where replaced with a $5/$10 credit with a 6/12 month duration as the new plans are all casual with no fixed term which made the ongoing $10 credit redundant (like my job 😂)

                        As the JB plans are a different plan family with a contracted term you might be able to get a $10 ongoing credit still. (I would be pretty confident the system would let it be added it but it would be against business rules)

  • StormOfRazors on 16/08/2019 - 18:14

    Good deal, I got this last year in store at JB.
    The restriction on gift cards for Boost customers was around last time too. From memory you had to be on another provider for a minimum of a month to be eligible for the gift card; less than that and they would see you in their system as being too recently on Telstra. (However, comments in the old thread suggested some people had luck with JB salespeople who put it through for them regardless so YMMV).

  • redhatguy on 16/08/2019 - 18:16

    Is it true that the reception is on these JB Hi-Fi plans is not the same as an 'actual' Telstra direct plan? If you can buy direct from Telstra, that's great.

    • StormOfRazors on 16/08/2019 - 18:30

      Im not sure where you heard that. My plan (purchased in store last year) is a full telstra plan (im billed by telstra not JB, have telstra online access etc. All JB did was initiate the port and I assume get a small cut. Reception is fine and a speed test I just did then (6.25pm) was 174mbps down 50.7up with 27ms ping - so Id assume thats the full 4Gx network.

      Agreed; I am satisfied with my Belong $10/month (+50GB rollover).
      This plan works out to be $28.33/month ($45/month plan min. cost $540 - $200 JB giftcard)
      I use wifi mostly, so the Belong rollover will last me 12 months

      • fozzie on 17/08/2019 - 18:27

        I’m satisfied with Kogan and catch in my family. We have 4 sims amongst us (2 adults and 2 teenagers) and by paying upfront it costs me the equivalent of $45 a month for 4 sims, with 13gb each on 3 kogan and 17gb on catch. Next year will be even cheaper as catch have upgraded the $135 ($270 full price) with 150gb. That plan is very hard to beat imo. If you don’t need Telstra and live in metro no point paying more

    For anyone willing to try, I just contacted chat to see if I could get some bonus data thrown in for free (because my NBN has been on the fritz and I need some extra data this weekend). Long story short, 'Richard' offered to change my plan from $59 plan (with Telstra), ending this November, to the $45 plan without any cancellation fees and INCLUDING the JB voucher!
    So all in all, I've extended my contract for 9 months, saving $14 per month, and getting 2.5x my data!
    Win.

      I'd be interested to see if you actually get the voucher. I was told that if I made a business account and ported my consumer number over that I would definitely get the gift card. However, I've now been told by 5 people and 2 JB people that this isn't correct and I won't be eligible for the gift card as an existing telstra number WON'T receive it.

      …so I'm hoping you get yours!

      • Justtip on 17/08/2019 - 19:36

        Yeh it might be too good to be true. Time will tell. I need to go in store to find out. YMMV
