Looks like this deal is back on according to a banner I was just presented on https://www.jbhifi.com.au/collections/mobile-phones (https://images.ctfassets.net/i2qsnovxhn7q/59vYeF4YD6vvW0zcWH…)

My previous Telstra Family and Friends plan (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/342769) is up this fortnight so I think it's time for me to make the jump.

Does anyone have a preferred port out -> port back pathway that should work for me prior this deal expiry on 27th Nov?

Edit 12pm: Deal marked as expired as the offer is no longer a $500 JB Gift Card but $500 JB Gaming Credit.

>$500 credit towards any gaming products - consoles, games, gaming laptops, gaming chairs, accessories.

Update: 10Pm Monday 18 Nov

Deal reactivated again, and runs until 27 November 15th December

    These deals are always hectic

    I'm interested to know if people were able to switch plans after via Telstra live chat like we all did early in the year.

    I remember how crazy experience was for me that I have successfully went from the 65 to 69 then applied to $10 discounts to bring it down 49 and I got the television if anybody remembers the deal.

    Crazy part I have like $130 termination Telstra was like we will help with that and take off $30 but I swear my last bill didn't reflect that just the difference in the plans and the switchover days so I'm pretty stoked

    I wish everybody the best when it comes to hunting these deals and dealing with Telstra

    • rainbowunicorn on 19/11/2019 - 07:30

      I did the 69 to 49 last time as well. Just wondering is this still available in some way? or what discounts can you get now?
      thanks.

      • Sammy Boi on 19/11/2019 - 10:33

        Yeah I'm wondering the same

  • Okayy on 14/11/2019 - 09:26

    Any idea what’s the ETC on this plan? And how long does it take to issue JB card? Thanks

  • mlburnian on 14/11/2019 - 09:34

    This is so much better than the 240 boost deal, especially if you can get port in bonus and reduce to 55 P/mth

    • pinkhyori on 14/11/2019 - 09:45

      how does one reduce it to 55/mth?

      • Whatisthatvelvet on 14/11/2019 - 10:05

        Jump onto Online Chat and ask them.

        I got the $10 port in discount before I switched to M2M by saying I was told instore I was eligible for it and to jump on chat to get it organised. YRMV

    • hunters on 14/11/2019 - 13:48

      Assuming you don't get a port in bonus I'm not sure that it's really "so much better". $240 minimum cost v's $780 minimum cost plus a $500 gift card. What am I missing besides a bit more data?

      But yes it is no longer present on the page I saw it on

  • rebel77 on 14/11/2019 - 09:56

    I think it was $400 last month and now it's $500. I purchased an S10+ for $699 with the voucher I received from a sim purchase (managed to get $500 then instead of the usual $400). The store however waits for the port out to take place before they hand over the voucher to you. It was a good deal, though I miss the Unmetered Netflix and higher GB data I had on my earlier Optus plan. I've retained the other Optus sims in the household to use on Netflix at home.

    • Sunn0 on 14/11/2019 - 11:01

      Not doubting you at all, but where does it mention that it's only off gaming products? I buy enough games for this to still be a good deal to me.

        In store there’s vouchers and flyers posted up saying it’s off gaming products
        Head office are strictly enforcing it
        It’s similar to the $500 phone credit on the 24 month $65 plan

        • dmcneice on 16/11/2019 - 13:10

          How does it work? Do you have to spend it all at once. Do you get a gift card that's limited to gaming products… How does it work. Can get a $400 jb hifi card at my store as an alternative.

    • isthisreallife22 on 14/11/2019 - 11:28

      :(

    • isthisreallife22 on 14/11/2019 - 11:29

      Seems like a strange offer. $500 gaming credit? How many people do they expect that to convert?

  • rainbowunicorn on 14/11/2019 - 11:53

    Hi All,

    I just have some questions for people who have signed up recently.
    I did this deal a few months ago with the Huawei P30 $199.
    I'm existing customer, signed up new contract under existing account. So 2 contracts 1 account.
    At the time Telstra was also offering $49pm 60gb 12 months.
    Online chat - told them I would have just signed up with that deal. Asked me if I received any coupons or whatever. I said no. Plan was changed to $49 a month.

    Started another chat, transferred my numbers from old to new contract. Closed old contract.

    I didn't port out or get charged any extra fees.

    Just wondering is this method still possible and what is the discounts we can attempt to request via online chat?

  • morpheous on 14/11/2019 - 12:38

    Hey guys! Just wanted to know what exactly is the idea behind this deal.

    If i port can i move to a cheaper plan or port back to another service provider and still keep the $500 GC? And how exactly is it done?

    • nomster on 14/11/2019 - 16:20

      its not a gift card anymore — JB keeps changing their minds.

      Current deals at the mo are absolute rubbish…I'm with Optus, at the end of a $59 Iphone 8 20GB deal (sold the phone sealed for $900). Current deals are ridiculous. Iphone 11 4gb for $66 (not enough data) or 60gb for $89…not too mention now 33 month contract (36 month but first 3 are free). Who uses 60gb of data on the phone???….crazy. Iphone 8 and Iphone 11 both cost circa $1100 new. Such a rip, I will be going elsewhere.

      • AtomC on 14/11/2019 - 18:37

        I’m in the same boat, at the end of that great $59 deal (well $69 for me as I paid extra to get the larger capacity phone) that suits me well and there’s nothing out there that comes close at the moment. Think I might just grab a prepaid sim and roll with that for a while until a deal comes along

        • whorishmouth on 14/11/2019 - 19:28
          +2

          How is there nothing between 4gb and 60gb? Unreal….I spoke to them, told them I think their plans stink….offered me a discount but still no decent deal to be made. Told them I'm going elsewhere. I've been with Optus for 20 years btw so I'm no blow-in just having a rant….I've always been able to find a decent deal up until now. Anyways…Good luck with your search!

          • raptormesh on 15/11/2019 - 20:56

            @whorishmouth: Yeah same actually I was with Virgin(RIP) for my iPhone 6, but had a look around earlier this year and decided that going prepaid boost was by far the cheapest, especially if you buy the phones outright with minor discounts and TRS.

      which store was this? Bondi wasn't offering it.

  • BennyHe2018 on 20/11/2019 - 10:37

    Went to JB at Albert St at Brisbane CBD yesterday and was told ony $400 gift card applies. Very weird.

  • Headless on 22/11/2019 - 09:59

    Just signed up yesterday, JB Hifi explained the $500 was a price error and was removed form their website within 20 minutes etc
    Got the $400 deal which is still pretty good - the gift cards can be used online, just waiting for black friday
    Proting didn't work, so i am stuck without a functioning phone until Telstra can fix their problem… of course I'm setup for the bill within minutes
    In summary - Deal expired

  • spikiii on 22/11/2019 - 11:46

    Churned out of Telstra to Kogan mobile today (in anticipation for Telstra deals down the track) - super quick port out process.

    -Received SIM today, went online to activate
    -Hit submit on Kogan's portal —> got an SMS from them asking to confirm.
    -Replied SMS with confirmation —> got an SMS from Telstra advising port out request
    -2 mins later got "Welcome, your account is active" email from Kogan. Port out of Telstra completed

    Whole port out process took a few mins to complete from request through to active service again!

    :O

    • isthisreallife22 on 22/11/2019 - 12:03

    I am assuming they deleted my post about this deal today cause they are reusing the old deal to tell people about it. Hope people do not miss out on seeing this. But all stores have started this deal again as of this morning. I posted a deal about it with the flyer they gave me this morning, goes until 2nd of December!

    • caviar on 23/11/2019 - 09:58

        True but as I mentioned in the deal I posted I have been a long time viewer of the site and never had the need to post. Grabbed a load of deals from the site, was on my way to do the Broadband $100 gift card and the sales people threw this deal at me. Snapped a pic, upped the deal. Just was trying to make sure people didn't miss out.

  • Leichhardt on 24/11/2019 - 08:45

    Signed up yesterday and received the $500 GC. I also paid for a casual data only SIM card for $15 and received another $100 JBHifi GC.
    So $600 in total minus $15.

    The sales rep mentioned that the $100 GC it will expire soon i.e. most likely today. Ask them and see what happens.

  • FormulaWon on 25/11/2019 - 20:29

    Is it still possible to downgrade to the $45 plan after signing up for this one? From what I saw in previous deals some people did just that.

    • Rakddon on 26/11/2019 - 07:36

      should be possible after 1 month.

    • SiliconBased on 26/11/2019 - 13:32

      • FormulaWon on 26/11/2019 - 14:50

        Just through live chat or are you going in stores and asking?

        • SiliconBased on 26/11/2019 - 15:06

          Just through chat so far.

          • FormulaWon on 03/12/2019 - 02:33

            @SiliconBased: Thought I'd check back, any luck on downgrading plans?

            • SiliconBased on 03/12/2019 - 07:29

              @FormulaWon: Yesterday I messaged again, specifically asking to change to the black Friday plan (same plan, 50/month).

              The rep said they couldn't as that was only for new customers, BUT them he offered to change me to the medium Telstra 'plan' (same as the JB Hi-Fi plan, but $5 less, and month to month). I confirmed multiple times there was no cancellation fees or any other fees, which he assured me there wasn't. We went through all the terms and conditions for the medium plan; he also gave me a reference number. I made sure to screenshot everything

              So far nothing has changed on my side (on the app or website, no emails either) but they basically locked themselves in to changing me…

              I'll update when I know for certain.

              Hopefully I don't get a message from JB Hi-Fi asking for their gift card back 🤣

              • FormulaWon on 03/12/2019 - 15:29

                @SiliconBased: Oh that's interesting, I'll try to give that a go, sounds like a dream if it doesn't go wrong.

                Edit: Seems like the black friday deal is off, unsurprisingly, so not sure what else I could try to ask them about ha.

  • Baghern on 26/11/2019 - 11:48

    Just checked the website its not there

  • Mirage on 26/11/2019 - 18:27

    Please help me clarify this and correct me if my calculations are incorrect….

    So if my prev 2 yo Telstra Family & Friends $59/m minus $10 (value cust bonus, ie. $49/m) has expired and I want to do this deal and get a new phone, in essence I am really only saving $308 plus more data but I have to first "try" to port out and back in to be eligble for this?

    Retaining old plan $49/month

    This deal $65/month.

    Difference $16/month, ie for 12mth = $192 extra

    $500 gift card minus $192 = $308 savings if only I can use the gift card say to purchase a new phone?

    I am just wondering if the effort of porting out and in could be worth $308 savings or even maybe I could find the phone I want cheaper than at JB HiFi…. (iphone 11 pro 256gb)

      It sounds complicated, but its minimal effort.

  • Gumbootboy on 26/11/2019 - 18:54

    Can this be done at the same time as buying a phone?

    eg Walk in to the store, port a phone number and buy a phone in the same transaction, or one after the other?

    Or do you only get the voucher after the port has completed, eg 48hrs+?

      is this $10 p.m port-in discount? would be keen to see if this still works. would be worth considering for myself (coming from a lower $ plan)
