Update: Was asked to remove, store chaos, sold out yesterday

Was just shopping for my wife a new phone and dropped into the good guys Chadstone to have a look at some Xiaomi. The sales guy said as S20 is coming out they are offering the S10 range for zero dollars as long as you sign up to Telstra $65, 60gB plan for 12 months, I thought it sounded a bit dodgy but turned out to be legit. This is how it works, Telstra are offering a $400 gift card to port in from another carrier, the good guys are reducing the outright phones to $400 and then using the gift card (if you want) to have a zero cost phone. My wife got the S10+, happened to be when they pulled it out to be the 512mb version instead of the 128mb

So effectively you are getting the S10 / + for $720 $780 over 12 months, 60gb plan.

They had perhaps 10-15 of S10 available, I believe only a couple of S10+

As the majority of commenters have reported being unable to successfully obtain the deal, it has been moved to the forums to preserve discussion.

          LOL this is funny thats like saying when you pay for a house it's yours and you can kick everyone out

          You only pay for a house on the day of settlement, which means that once that has happened the house is yours.

          Except for if there are tenants in it and you haven’t worked something out with them prior to give you vacant possession.

    I was offered a similar deal on a Galaxy Note 10 last weekend from JB Hifi (Maroochydore) … 12 month Telstra $65 plan on a zero cost phone after applying a rebate from Telstra. It was offered as a “Today only” deal, offered when I enquired about the out of stock TCL $249 bargain phone from last week. The Note 10 (squarish) look & feel don’t appeal to me, nor does evil Telstra or ‘today only’ deals. I didn’t post this deal as JB would have been closed by the time I got home. Now a Galaxy S10+ I do like …

        Geez you're determined to shoot down everyone's deal. You must have commented 20 times in this thread. The guy clearly says he was offered zero cost. Are you suggesting he is lying? Sounds like you paid full price recently and your just sour with everyone else!

          Well I've already corrected others who thought the XR was free….

          Stop assuming to suit your argument.

          It was an advertised deal…..

          It was a $1499 phone down $500 with a $500 gift card. Like a million other JB double up discounts….

          Plenty seem to be confused as how these deals work…

          • hunters on 23/02/2020 - 08:39

            @scuderiarmani: I'm not mounting an argument. The assumptions are all being made by yourself.

        The deal I was offered is as I described, total cost was $65 x 12 months. Please don’t tell me what I was offered.

  • mooreshady on 23/02/2020 - 09:03

    This deal is still worth a positive if telstra n gg gives 400 each gc. So 800 gc can go towards any phones in store.

  • ely on 23/02/2020 - 09:03

    Sounds like a good deal. Would buy the S10 for $400, but I don't want that plan - I pay $150/year for mine and it's fine, the extra plan costs kill the deal for me.

  • RangaWal on 23/02/2020 - 09:15

    Is a new Aldi sim a good option to port from? I've only done it from Vodafone in the past.

      Everybody got a resounding "no" from the manager. Apparently no more phones in stock and it was a store specific deal to get rid of the last one.

      • Weavlz on 23/02/2020 - 10:12

        Also no luck from JB Hi-Fi at the same centre. Phone guy and the manager ran some numbers and said it wasn't possible.

    Just left the Maribyrnong store. The only deal they have for the $65/month for 12 month plan is to get an iPhone XR 128GB for $399 or the 256GB for $549.
    They have no idea about the Chadstone Samsung S10 deal.
    Looks like the OP was lucky. Everyone else should just save time and not bother.
