The deal on the website shows a $500 gift card but in store at Good Guys Macgregor QLD, the deal is currently $800. Unsure if store specific and/or Australia wide. Deal does not show on website.

Works out to be only $32 a month, if you have a plan for the $800 voucher.

Offer available in store only. Minimum cost $1188 over 12 Months. Offer not in conjunction with any other offer. Available to port-in and new Telstra Customers only. Excludes Telstra Prepaid, Boost and Belong custs. Bonus issued once connection approved

    • melo4510 on 24/09/2020 - 19:10

      You mean they are doing $800 gift card for $99 plan?

    • devilious on 25/09/2020 - 09:28

      Thanks, just took advantage of the offer using the phone number you listed!

      • OzBerghainer on 25/09/2020 - 10:51

        Are you going to cancel it or use it for a year?

        • devilious on 25/09/2020 - 13:42

          Use it for a year, needed a new plan anyway!

    Are they doing anything for the $69? Jb recently have $500 gc for $69 and i missed it!

    • WildWarrior on 24/09/2020 - 19:08

      Keen to know this as well. I’m holding out for a JB $69 deal that’s better than the $300 GC advertised. $500 GC from the weekend was sweet, but maybe more? 😂

        If you call JB on 135244 they currently offer $500 credit for the $69 plan :) just signed up today myself

            @WildWarrior: Same, just signed up.

            No luck yesterday but sales assistant was glad I came back today because apparently they got notified late yesterday of the $500/$69 offer.

        • Modesty on 27/09/2020 - 14:15

          Can you signup over the phone?

        • slothhead on 17/10/2020 - 09:34

          Thanks for sharing. Anyone know how strict JB are about the 30 day minimum quarantine period? I churned from Telstra to Vodafone yesterday and would like to sign-up for this plan…

  • Swisshardy on 24/09/2020 - 18:47

    Does it include any international calling or can you add the $10 international calling add-on to this plan?

  • alex123711 on 24/09/2020 - 18:51

    I saw on a similar deal posted that people are avoiding changing plans/ providers due to credit checks, is having several credit checks a negative or something??

    • nephilim on 24/09/2020 - 19:19

      Mainly banks see CC as a negative, if you want a car loan and it shows you have been declined, it red flags you. May need to show more proof of how you spend your money and such

    • T-man on 24/09/2020 - 21:30

      Never had any problems with credit checks when signing up a phone plan although just got a decline for a credit card.

      • b3au on 24/09/2020 - 22:18

        Yes, when a bank does a check on you for a credit card, it doesn't look great if you have many recent enquires for credit (including mobile phone plans)

    • Whisper Quiet on 25/09/2020 - 10:28

      Unless its happening every 1-2 months, then there's no issue.

  • PeppaCat on 24/09/2020 - 19:05

    Can we add international call package to these plan now?

    • cloudie9 on 24/09/2020 - 19:37

      Yes, $10 add on.

      • PeppaCat on 24/09/2020 - 23:27

        The Information Summary says for international calls, it's PAYG. Is $10 addon available?

  • David76 on 24/09/2020 - 19:25

        • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 25/09/2020 - 01:20

          Wrong, those are the terms for the normal $500 gift card not the $800 offer as the “$800” sticker was just slapped onto the page with the terms for the $500 offer.

    • tex on 25/09/2020 - 12:13

      I just called a store and they said ends 30th.

    • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 24/09/2020 - 22:56

      This is a sim only phone plan yours is a broadband plan. 2 different things.

      How do you get 150Gb for $5?

      Afraid not, only an $800 gift card.

      If only there was a way to convert a gift card to a phone…

  • Guider on 25/09/2020 - 06:38

    I would like to see people who use 150GB per month

    • sicaboy on 25/09/2020 - 09:16

      Actually I have one in my 4G router and use around 190GB per month

  • defiant on 25/09/2020 - 08:30

    Has anyone connected this kind of phone sim to their home router via a mobile internet device, e.g a netgear nighthawk? Or can anyone recommend a good modem with built in SIM card? Thinking of replacing my home broadband with this. Cheers

    • cloudie9 on 25/09/2020 - 09:03

      Yeah shouldn't be any issue connecting to nighthawk or any mobile broadband router. Afterall, its a sim card that comes with phone and data.

    • smpantsonfire on 25/09/2020 - 09:26
      +1

      I do this now. I finished up my home internet and walked over to this.

      Zero cons unless you are an fps gamer the ping can sometimes be trash.

      I picked up a cheap huawei b818 modem for 50$ and get anywhere between 150-400 megabits per second dl. (I am in North Adelaide though)

      The modem is only 4g but is rated upto 1.6 gigabit per second.

      Basically it's way way faster than nbn, and if I want I can take the modem or sim with me anywhere on holidays.

      Never going back to a wired connection.

      • huhuu77 on 26/09/2020 - 16:43

        Last time a Telstra sales said Telstra mobile sim only plan, I can't insert it into 4G modem, they will band the device. Can I ask how long you have been using this Telstra mobile sim + 4G modem? And do you know whether no excess data charges for JB HIFI telstra plan?

        • smpantsonfire on 26/09/2020 - 21:58
          +1

          I have been using it like this since the last deal. So maybe 2 months?

          No excess data charges, just slows down a lot.

          • huhuu77 on 28/09/2020 - 09:38

            @smpantsonfire: Thanks mate, I may go to sign up a plan for my mother then quit NBN, she only watch YouTube and website, less than 100G/month :-)

    • realfancyman on 02/10/2020 - 22:56

      In the CIS it says this:

      Allowances: For personal use in a smartphone only. Fair Play Policy applies

  • verio on 25/09/2020 - 09:12

    Went to my local JB Hi-Fi store. They have two deals: one is $600 gift card that can be used for anything in a store, another is $800 gift card which has to be used for an iPhone. Both with the $99 per month plan.

    However, I was told that the $800 gift card has to be used only for the current iPhone lineup, it won’t work for any future iPhones. The explanation was that when they issue a gift card they apply a list of SKUs to it and since iPhone 12 is not released yet they can’t mark it as eligible for a purchase.

    Maybe the guy who told me that got something wrong but hey be careful guys.

    • sicaboy on 25/09/2020 - 09:18

      iPhone SE2 is a good choice compared to 11 at the current time point

    • Michaelz101 on 25/09/2020 - 09:20

      I've just signed up and she told me can be used on anything. i did this over the phone.

      • verio on 25/09/2020 - 09:25

        JB or Good Guys?

      • Loocy on 25/09/2020 - 11:40

        how does porting work over the phone? are they going to send you a telstra sim?

    • interfreak on 25/09/2020 - 09:24

      Thanks for the clarification!

      Still conflicts with what some people have been told over the phone. I wonder how they can 'attach' SKU's to a gift card?

    • OzBerghainer on 25/09/2020 - 09:39

      In store JB has their own deals, JB national sales over the phone has global gift card

    • Fancydancer on 25/09/2020 - 11:02

      Sounds like they’re spinning you a line, NEVER heard of SKUs applied to GCs. Guess there’s a first time for everything.

    • interfreak on 25/09/2020 - 09:52

  • kimyongjeon on 25/09/2020 - 09:45

    • Michaelz101 on 25/09/2020 - 09:48

      if you do it over the phone, its for anything. i think the store reps have other agendas trying to get you to buy iphones before iphone 12

      • cloudie9 on 25/09/2020 - 09:51

        Is it easy to carry out the porting over the phone? How long does it take you to get everything sorted? Also, do they send you like a virtual gift card or you have to collect it in-store?

        • insane on 25/09/2020 - 09:54

          It's really easy I just did it all in 20 minutes.

          I think virtual after SIM activation

      • Fancydancer on 25/09/2020 - 11:56

      Are you gonna cancel the contract?

  • padman on 25/09/2020 - 11:36

    Would the best thing to do be sign up, use for 6 months then cancel? Since you're paying the ETC anyway, might as well make use of the service plus get the $206 value?

    • vcdeal on 25/09/2020 - 12:06
      +1

      i thought ETC will be charged when you cancel after 6 months too. so basically you would have paid monthly $99 for 6 months and then when you cancel after 6 months you'll still pay $594 ETC

      • Fancydancer on 25/09/2020 - 15:19
        +1

        ETC will be reduced but best value to leave straight away

        • webtherapist on 25/09/2020 - 22:18

          yep, signed, preordered S20 FE 5G with Bonus Earbuds Live ($319 RRP) by paying $345 then cancelled plan by porting number to other provider on a prepaid sim straight away.
          ended up getting S20 FE 5G + Earbuds Live for $594+$345=$939 :). If sell earbuds for $150 then phone would cost just a bit under $800 which is a rip for Snap 865 and 120Hz screen

  • docmartin on 25/09/2020 - 11:51

    Stupid question:

    If I port in from optus and then immediately cancel, what happens to my phone number?

    Do I need to sign up, immediately port back out and then cancel?

    Or if planning to cancel better to just sign up with fresh phone number and cancel?
