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.

          Hmmm 5G isn't going to be an issue for me for a fair while - I wonder whether Telstra will ever remove their premium for access?

          • Dealsteals on 12/06/2020 - 09:32

            @pdtmathieson: Yeah. For that matter even I don't download crazy amount of stuff. Nor do I have 5G ready other gadgets. So yes 5G is great. But don't have any use for it for a while 😬

            • pdtmathieson on 12/06/2020 - 10:09

              @Dealsteals: If I was on 5g with 200gb data or more, I could replace a bit of my home internet with it, but I doubt it will be rolled out to my area any time soon.

      Where's the Oppo X2 Find Pro deal?

    • MOPAP on 12/06/2020 - 15:41

      Samsung = S.Korea, Oppo = China. I'm avoiding Chinese products right now with all the pain they are hitting Aus farmers and education with. This all said, I honestly believe S20+ is the better phone.

      • AirJordan23 on 12/06/2020 - 16:06

        That's true S20+ still a better phone since it has been around for quite some time. The advantage that Oppo has is the Snapdragon 865.

      • Arch9896 on 12/06/2020 - 22:16

        This is true Aussie.

  • simonbechh on 12/06/2020 - 07:44

    Hey thanks for the deal I think this is amazing. But what if I'm with Telstra prepaid. On the port-in 65/mths for 24 mths deal, it says "excludes Telstra prepaid" but doesn't say anything under this $55 deal.

    • running on empty on 12/06/2020 - 10:27

      Advertising banner on their website states "excludes current telstra, belong and boost customers" which I assume includes prepaid

  • bargainfinder on 12/06/2020 - 07:59

    Can i port in from boost mobile sim to keep my number?
    Never mind, just see the answer from previous comment. Thanks op. I am not eligible :( such a good deal

  • Bigredkeg on 12/06/2020 - 08:54

    Thought the 10 dollar port in credit was stopped? Or are you referring to the 10 dollar covid discount they gave ?

    • running on empty on 12/06/2020 - 10:30

      It's not the covid discount, The $10 credit is part of the JB Hi-Fi plan, not normal telstra plans. Credit only available till Sunday, after which you can still get the plan but pay the full $65PM

  • david6509 on 12/06/2020 - 10:18

    Apparently it's strictly for the S20+ 4G 128GB - I asked two seperate stores. Cancellation fee is only $390…

    Now what to do with my Pixel XL 2….?

    • Dealsteals on 12/06/2020 - 14:04

      I have 2 of them. Still working perfectly fine. But needed something for good vids and pics

    • pdtmathieson on 12/06/2020 - 14:05

      Yeah I'll be the same - I reckon there's a few of us who have jumped from the 2XL deal to this. I'll be getting the screen replaced and seeing what I can get for it, first from siblings.

  • Dealsteals on 12/06/2020 - 15:31

    BUMMER!!!!!
    I just called the JB store in Marsden Park to check if I can add an international calling pack for an extra $10 on top of the plan value. The rep said NO. This is special JB HI FI + Telstra plans. And there is no international call pack that can be added to this. Does anyone know anything about it?

    • Spending2Much on 12/06/2020 - 15:48

      I've done it with my previous Telstra/JB deal.
      Just do it directly with Telstra online chat after.

      I can add it to my plan using the Telstra app on my phone, so looks like you can.

    • pdtmathieson on 12/06/2020 - 17:27

      Yeah I would ignore that, sign up and they will let you do it post. JB might not but once it's signed up you're just with Telstra, and they will do it.

    I'm still trying to port from last deal from that scum company circles life. they won't allow the port and won't give reasons. what's another non Telstra reseller company I can. port to from circles this weekend then try to port to this plan to see if that works ?

    • Voucherd on 12/06/2020 - 17:29

      Just get a new service

      • Belv on 13/06/2020 - 00:07

        How? I need my number and can't port from circles to Telstra with out it failing…

    • pdtmathieson on 12/06/2020 - 18:47

      From other comments you need to be out of the Telstra network for 30 days before they let you port back in. I am going to get a new service then try and get my number moved over, think I'll have more luck with that

      • Belv on 13/06/2020 - 00:07

        Circles life is on the Optus network….

  • Voucherd on 12/06/2020 - 17:30

    Great deal, on my page it says speeds cap to 1.5mbs per second like my last contract. Wonder if we still get charged if we go over (I know it says it in the contract but still..)

  • AG87 on 12/06/2020 - 17:51

    Does anyone know if the termination fee decreases overtime with this offer?

    • lplau on 12/06/2020 - 20:20

      it should reduce each month. i was told that the termination charge is 50% of the outstanding contract amount, so if you cancel on day 1, it would be $390 on a $65 12 month plan (780 / 2). when calculating the ETC, they don't factor in any credit you may be recieving.

  • driveahardbargain on 12/06/2020 - 19:04

    Anyone actually got this deal?
    JB told me it's either 24 months at $65/m, 80gig/m with 700 off the phone (1299-700 = 599)
    Or
    12months at $55/m with 8gig/m with 400 off the phone (1299-400= 899).

    Asked me if I was getting my info from "that dodgy website" haha

    • running on empty on 12/06/2020 - 20:54

      It's advertised on their own website, just browse to the mobile phone category and it's shown up top of the page as a banner (you may need to click through the banners to see it) as per my original post.

      So if the Jb Hi-Fi website is the site they are referring to as dodgy, then yes!

      Only thing the banner fails to mention is the $10/pm credit but I also covered that in my post

      • ripprind on 14/06/2020 - 11:47

        the banner and in store say its 60GB a month

        • driveahardbargain on 14/06/2020 - 12:10
          +1

          It's 40gig + bonus 40gig for first 12 months.
          Same as the monthly fee, $10 discount for first 12 months, so 55 for first 12 then back to 65

        • ripprind on 15/06/2020 - 17:21

          instore had some conflicting information. flyer next to phone had completely different deal. but I got the deal after politely asking staff to explain the details.

    I remember on past deals they did.

    • AirJordan23 on 12/06/2020 - 23:13

      No I tried, but no deals with the 5Gs. They only offer $700 discount on 24M contract. S20+ 5G $1699 - 700 = $999.00

      I told them about the deal last April 2020 you can get S20 + 5G 512gb for $849.00

  • dr on 13/06/2020 - 00:03

    I was denied this deal today, they told me $10 per month credit is not applicable and that the deal is 12x$65+$599.

    Great deal thanks OP!

    +1 Writing this as my new S20+ is syncing data.

    1. JB Melton.

    2. No frills transaction. The rep was actually exemplary in service.

    3. Called in advance and asked for current deals. This deal was sort of mentioned. Read point 4.

    4. Originally the plan was quoted as $65 over 12 months. I politely mentioned that I have read on OB that there is further $10 discount for 12 months on the plan. Rep put me on hold and confirmed that indeed $55 is correct. I asked for stock at hand to make up my mind on colors.

    5. Once in store, moved from amaysim prepaid and port was ready in 5 mins.

    Great first post OP.

    • running on empty on 14/06/2020 - 00:06

      exact same thing happened when I first called up the store. I was told $65 but when I went in to see them the sales guy apologised as the plan was actually $55, that's before I said anything. It was good service and not pushy at all.

    Does anyone else find that the camera is terrible if there is even a tiny bit of movement? I might need to delve into some settings, but so far the camera is inferior to my Pixel 2XL out of hte box

    • running on empty on 14/06/2020 - 02:38

      Hope you solve your camera woes, I haven't taken many photos yet. I've been busy just setting up all my apps and settings.

    • pdtmathieson on 14/06/2020 - 08:08

      Everything I've taken in artificial light so far has been terrible unless the object is completely still - I have kids and kelpies, neither of which is likely to have the patience for photos. I'll try in decent light today.

      • eug on 14/06/2020 - 08:36

        Everything I've taken in artificial light so far has been terrible unless the object is completely still

        What camera settings are you using and how bright are your lights? I just use the default camera settings, nearly all my photos are in artificial light and I haven't had a problem with motion blur.

        • pdtmathieson on 14/06/2020 - 11:40

          Default settings initially, then playing around with various things. Took some better shots in the perfect light outside today due to better shutter speed on auto.

          Any advice?

        • pdtmathieson on 14/06/2020 - 11:45

          Here is an example - reasonable natural light, not too much movement (daughter likes a prolonged glare), still got blur on the face: https://imgur.com/a/TCwdeQj

            @pdtmathieson:

            Whoops sorry, forgot about this. The image you posted doesn't have the EXIF data so I can't tell what shutter speed it's using, but just to test, you can try switch to Pro mode (in the camera app, swipe across to MORE, then select PRO). The shutter speed is the second icon on the bottom (e.g. A 1/50). Change that to 1/50 or 1/100 and see if it makes a difference.

    Second day with S20+ and the fingerprint reader annoys the shit out of me. Samsung decided to use ultrasonic sensor embedded in the display and it recognizes my finger about every second try, absolute hit and miss scenario. And even when it recognizes the finger it takes 2-3 seconds to do so. This is the worst fingerprint sensor I tried in last 5 or so years (LG, LeEco, Google, iPhone…).

    Is anybody else seeing this or my phone is defective?

    • AirJordan23 on 14/06/2020 - 23:17

      Try to enrol your fingerprint a few times. It might work.

    • pdtmathieson on 15/06/2020 - 08:09

      Facial recognition also takes too long most of the time… Coming from a Pixel 2, where the finger print was on the back and very natural, this is annoying - I end up swiping my code most of the time now.

    • ripprind on 15/06/2020 - 17:25

      same here.
      face recognition also unreliable to say the least ( I wear 👓)

      now the fingerprint reader on my S8 doesn't seem so bad in comparison 🙄

    • plapic on 16/06/2020 - 16:24

      I think its a gimmick. May have to employ several fingerprints registrations for this to be effective.

  • bargainfinder on 15/06/2020 - 22:13

    with this ultrasonic finger print scanner in the display screen, can we even use a tempered glass screen protector? or is soft plastic film the only option here. I also notice the screen curve a little on the edge, so not sure how a tempered glass protector will fit on it. Also does anyone has recomendation for a good case?

    • plapic on 16/06/2020 - 16:22

      I'm sticking with the factory screen protector for now until I case it. Maybe down the track get a case and finger scan compatible screen protector.

    • betternow on 16/06/2020 - 21:29

      I'm getting the Spigen tough armor. I heard it's pretty robust.

    • eug on 23/06/2020 - 10:20

      https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000760594566.html

      When the plastic one on mine wears out, I'm going to try this Baseus tempered glass one. It uses a UV-cure adhesive which eliminates the air gap you'd get with non-UV-cure ones. The customer reviews say the fingerprint reader works with it.

      There are much cheaper ones but the cheap one I tried for another phone didn't have a good oleophobic coating so I'm going to try Baseus this time.

  • kindra on 16/06/2020 - 09:59

    Is this offer still available and the $10 credit expired? It’s still a pretty good deal if your after the s20+.
