My first deal, hopefully I have submitted this correctly..

I was instore today at JB-Hi-Fi and they have a new Telstra Mobile plan for port-in and new customers.

$65/pm ($55 after $10/pm credit) 80GB data per month on 12 month plan with Samsung S20 Plus mobile for $599 upfront.

The plan runs until the 24th of June BUT the $10/pm credit finishes close of business on 14th June, so very little time. I saw a banner advertising this deal on their website under the mobile phone category but it does not mention the $10 credit which I saw once in store on their advertising material.

      Who cares? You might notice it in some edge cases but mine is lightening fast.

      This is an even better deal than the Samsung EPP deal. Both this and the Oppo Find X2 deals are amazing.

          Yeah because it's bullshit we pay more for an inferior processor. Its not just performance, it's battery life too. Up to 20% worse.

          And in regards to performance, it matters with high refresh screens when you're playing games and not getting the frame rates.

      • running on empty on 11/06/2020 - 20:37

        I was also lookin at the EPP store over the last couple of weeks and was annoyed when they recently increased prices. This JB-Hi-Fi deal worked out cheaper than EPP, even when taking into account the $50 newsletter discount (I also used discounted giftcards for my purchase)

      True… I rather buy the Korean version. Samsung thinks we're all suckers… They're right it seems.

      Hotter, slower and less battery life

    Dual SIM?

    • running on empty on 11/06/2020 - 19:07

      It has e-sim and a micro sim card slot, plus another microSD card slot (not sure if you can put a sim in the microSD slot however)

      • lplau on 11/06/2020 - 19:12

        Its esim + nano sim.
        Cannot stick 2x simcard into it.

        Technically its dual sim, but you will need to change one sim into Esim by calling your telco.

        If I use this feature I'd convert my usual sim to esim then when travelling stick in my travel sim.

        • running on empty on 11/06/2020 - 19:15

          correct yes, nano sim

        • countmein on 11/06/2020 - 19:54

            @countmein: e-sim can be used instead of a physical sim card, it is simply a digital copy of a sim stored on your phone instead of using up the sim card tray. Telstra supports e-sim and I got mine in JB Hi-Fi when signing up instore, just needed to scan a QR code with my phone to load it up in settings

            • countmein on 11/06/2020 - 23:01

              @running on empty: Oh cool thanks. I thought thats for apple or smartwatch thing. I assume its for voice and data.

            • jes on 11/06/2020 - 23:14

              @running on empty: Is the esim stuck on one device, can you swap it easily to another device. Can the same esim be on at same time on 2 devices

              • running on empty on 11/06/2020 - 23:24

                @jes: I believe it's stuck on the device and can't eaily be moved between devices, I mean I'm sure it's possible if you speak to Telstra but it's not going to be as easy as moving a physical sim card between phones.

                Telstra's implementation is really dumb. To get an eSIM, you have to go to a store and get a physical card with a QR code printed on it. If you want to use your SIM in a different phone, you have to once again go to a store, get another physical card, and get the store to perform a SIM swap on their system. That defeats the purpose of an eSIM being digital, while at the same time being less convenient than a physical SIM.

                If you reset your phone and forget to ensure the option to backup your eSIM is selected, you will lose your SIM and once again have to go to a store to get another physical card.

                The only advantage is being able to use a second SIM in your phone's SIM slot while your main SIM is an eSIM, assuming your phone supports DSDS.

                Vodafone emails you the QR code and you can activate online, like what you'd expect from a digital SIM.

                • running on empty on 12/06/2020 - 19:00

                  @eug: Do you think you could rescan the original QR code in the event of a factory reset to load the eSIM onto the same phone?

                  • eug on 12/06/2020 - 19:40

                    @running on empty: No, the original QR code can only be used once.
                    Telstra eSIM FAQ

                    Can I reuse a QR code once it has been scanned?
                    Once your QR code has been scanned, your eSIM is downloaded to your device. After that, the QR code will no longer be valid.

  • OZBsince2018 on 11/06/2020 - 19:03

    It is only for Port in and NOT for new customers. So you have to either port in or buy a new $2 sim a d activate it and then port in to Telstra.

    • running on empty on 11/06/2020 - 19:10

    There is a $400 gift card for the same plan. So the value of the S20+ is $999

    • b0b0 on 11/06/2020 - 19:52

      Good point. I was wondering about this

    • running on empty on 11/06/2020 - 21:10

      The $400 giftcard is a different offer but also on the $65 plan ($55 after monthly credit) so it's either the s20+ for $599 or $400 giftcard. The instore price for the s20+ is $1299 so it's a bigger discount.

      • BuyoTheCat on 11/06/2020 - 23:41

        that was what I meant. either of the plans. 599 + 400. that was how I came up with the value of $999

    • OZBsince2018 on 11/06/2020 - 19:14

      You will have to cancel your number so that it’s available and then you can change new number back to old one. But these days Telstra chat and call centers are almost not functioning so it is almost next to impossible to get in touch with them for doing anything.

      • ln28909 on 11/06/2020 - 19:17

        Do you know how people go about cancelling it right after port in these days?

    • Slippery Fish on 12/06/2020 - 08:06

      Stop. Do not cancel your current plan that advice is wrong!

      If you cancel it will put your number in quarantine. Ask them to change the number and cancel that plan all at once to avoid quarantine of 30 days.

      • pdtmathieson on 12/06/2020 - 08:17

      I tried the online chat almost immediately but was only offered a once off $10 discount.
      I tried again only last week and was given the $10 discount for 6 months. Was happy enough with that.

    If we took the $400 gift card offer do you think they would be able to match the phone deal with the gift card? (further reduce the phone price after the 400)

    • b0b0 on 11/06/2020 - 19:54

      That's a No I believe.

      Either get a $400 gift card

      Or get a S20 by paying $599.

      • gmail92 on 11/06/2020 - 20:03

        Fair enough; thought it could be an extension of the gift card deal with further discounting on the phone.

    • running on empty on 11/06/2020 - 20:45

      When I purchased this in-store today they created a giftcard for $700 which was used at the front counter to reduce the price of the s20+ from $1299 to $599. I don't believe the giftcard could be used for anything else and was never personally given the giftcard, so I'm guessing it can only be used for this advertised deal. You can always ask the store (worst thing they will say is no)

    • Ughhh on 12/06/2020 - 00:26

      If it is like the last JB deal posted here, it should be applied in store when you port in your number.

      The $10 off you are referring to is $10 port in credit and I don't think they are doing that anymore. The $10 new customer credit offer has also been discontinued.

    I got this exact same deal at JB in April; $599 for the s20+ however I'm on a $65 pm for 12 months 60gb with Telstra.

    This is a much better deal than the one I signed up to, you save $120 ($10 monthly discount) over 12 months + additional 20gb.

    I'd get on it if I were looking for a phone.

    I might get my Mrs on it, she's with Telstra now this month is her last month of her 12 months.
    I might port her out to Optus (or something cheaper) and then port back into Telstra the next day on this promo.

      Or break contract on day 1 and its $990 as previously mentioned.

    • jawvi on 15/06/2020 - 09:59

      Early Termination is calculated as (plan charge * remaining duration) divided by 2 —- depending on your type of contract. so read it before getting one.

      so in this case:

      $55*12= 660/2 = $330

      total at day 1 cancellation is 599+330= $929

  • Dealsteals on 12/06/2020 - 07:20

    Confuseddddd!!!!
    S20+ 4g 128gb or Oppo X2 Find Pro 5g 512gb for $200 extra.
    Never owned an oppo. Infact never thought they would launch a flagship killer phone like the X2 find.

    • pdtmathieson on 12/06/2020 - 07:44

      Yeah I'm a bit in this same boat. Can either phone be expanded with SD cards?

      • CKLL001 on 12/06/2020 - 08:57

        Don't think X2 could, but S20+ definitely can.

      • Dealsteals on 12/06/2020 - 09:08
        +1

        S20+ can be expanded to 1tb as @chernklai said. Which definitely is a plus. But X2 find is a future ready phone with 5g. And 512gb internal storage is plenty.
        Other pluses with oppo is the camera and Snapdragon processor. Also the 65w charging which will come handy on more than a few occasions. So I am definitely leaning towards oppo.
        One concern would be their service. Has anyone had experience with Oppo service centre?
