Saw an ad on Instagram for the iPhone SE on a plan. Minimum cost is $584 so could essentially cancel before the end of the first month and get the phone outright for a good price.

Total minimum cost is one month of your plan fees plus 100% of the MPP instalments of your chosen device. If you choose to cancel your Vodafone Infinite Month to Month Plan, your MPP will auto cancel and 100% of the remaining handset instalments will be applied to your next bill. Recurring monthly plan fee charged until the end of the month in which you cancel.

    isnt there a plan early cancellation fees?

    • Oldgeezer on 01/10/2020 - 16:57

      I couldn’t see if there were any on that page. Probably not a deal if there are.

        I did this last week for my daughter and did not receive a cancellation fee at all, I didn't even try to set the voda card up.

      No, Telstra, Optus and Vodafone no longer have 'contracts' (unless you go for say JB HiFi or special Optus Flybuys offers plans) - they're all month to month with your phone split over 12/24/36 months.

      Cancel at any time, and you just pay out whatever's left on the phone repayment.

      Month to month = no early cancellation fees

    Must connect for minimum one month. Total minimum cost is one month of your plan fees plus 100% of the MPP instalments of your chosen device. If you choose to cancel your Vodafone Infinite Month to Month Plan, your MPP will auto cancel and 100% of the remaining handset instalments will be applied to your next bill.

      So no extra fees, the handset itself is $549 so the $584 includes the first month then should be okay to cancel.

    I believe the consensus is that this phone has a bad battery. Would buy it but the OG SE had the same "issue". Batteries degrade fast, iOS starts shutting down earlier and earlier, pretty much a bad time all round.

      The iPhone SE 2020 is based on the iPhone 8, not the OG SE.

      Yeah I had one of these and battery drains far too quick , you can barely get away with doing anything on it. Even just listening to a podcast on the commute drained a lot

      I’m still using my og se almost 4 years now. Still sweet as.

      • magic8ballgag on 01/10/2020 - 18:15

        Original battery?

        • BLAIL on 01/10/2020 - 18:19

          My Battery died after 3 years 7 months. didn't use it for more than 20 hours a week

        • Kanari on 01/10/2020 - 18:50

          Yeah original battery.

    • 0jay on 01/10/2020 - 17:18

      ‘Bad battery’ implies something wrong with the battery itself.

      Arguably the phone’s battery capacity is inadequate which is something else and not so alarming.

      My 8 flies through a charge unless I put it on battery saver so it’s not hard to believe these batteries are a little too small for comfort.

    • Ryk on 01/10/2020 - 17:28

      smaller phone has a smaller battery, yes. It won't last 18 hours of constant use, but if you can charge it, it's not really an issue.

      I owned the original SE and have owned the 2020 SE for a few months now.
      Basically no issue with the battery, it’s a huge improvement over the original SE with battery life (had a new one installed by Apple only a few month before it died of a hardware failure). Sure if you’re on your phone literally all day it won’t last, but easily get a day out of it without issues where the old SE use to struggle with.

      • Danstar on 01/10/2020 - 17:57

        Son has the SE2020 and has yet to whinge about the battery life

  • g452 on 01/10/2020 - 17:19

    Reading this on my fast draining 85% battery max capacity OG SE. Battery is indeed crap but just need to be aware that it’s crap and act accordingly.

  • eyebrows7 on 01/10/2020 - 17:27

    I went for this deal back when the 128GB was $679, plus the service fee for the first month. I was expecting the first month to be $35 as shown when you sign up. But after I canceled in the first month (nothing paid so far), I got the second month bill for the total cost of the phone plus $40. Seems the $5 off per month only applies if you join and continue to stay on with them.

    • JuryWheel on 01/10/2020 - 18:34

      I thought they only charge you pro-rata so you often only get charged for a couple of days usage…might be wrong about that

      • eyebrows7 on 01/10/2020 - 19:07

        To be clear I didn't even activate the sim, just called to try and cancel and get out of paying for any service fee. Two calls and one online chat later, I settled on just agreeing to pay for the first months service. Which really agrees with the Minimum total cost as stated when you sign up online, just that the $5 off wasn't valid I guess.

  • feedmoi on 05/10/2020 - 22:47

    Oh wow, how do you go about signing up?
