    Been on hold 1 hr 10 mins so far.

    EDIT: Got signed up. I think in hindsight I'm going to be slapped with a $99 early termination fee on my Optus plan even though it expires in 7 days… oh well still works out cheaper.

    How do you speak to Telstra Live Chat? I keep getting the msg "We have no agents available to assist in Telstra 24x7 Live Chat.

    If you need help, send us a message through the My Telstra app. Do this by tapping the 'Get Help' tab then the blue message icon. Download the app here." :(

    issue with simcards here at merrylands too

    • Dealhunter967671 on 02/10/2020 - 15:09

      Their systems (Siebel) are down.

      No orders can be processed on Telstra’s system, JB will capture everything manually and then process at a later date when systems are live again.

      • Inthemix on 02/10/2020 - 15:11

        do they mail out the $500 JB Card?

          They will be delivered 24-48hrs after sim activation via email, to the email address you provide them during sign up :)

  • dwhes on 02/10/2020 - 15:13

    Not happy, went in today and they had no issue signing me up for the deal on a new sim. The system was down so they couldn’t process it. Filled out paper work with the deal recorded exactly as listed. Now they’ve called back hours later saying that it’s just for port in and not for new numbers. Anyone know what I can do? I signed the paper contract and everything and they’re now trying to weasel out of it.

    • EnnZed-Shopping on 02/10/2020 - 15:15

      Aldi, $5 Sim, activate, give them the number.

    • dom03 on 02/10/2020 - 15:20

      Threaten legal action, they have already signed off on it. End of story. there own fault, besides its known that they can still do it for new signups they just being dicks about it and nothing is stopping them.

      I mean what's the difference really? there's no difference in any regard.

      • dwhes on 02/10/2020 - 15:22

        Yeh I’m pretty annoyed. Yes I can go get another sim now and try and activate but I’ve got other things I need to do for the rest of the arvo. And I said to him plenty of other stores have done it fine and he had 0 issue this morning with it being a new sim. Seems really dodgy.

      • dwhes on 02/10/2020 - 15:39

        Ok they spoke to the store manager after I asked to speak to them and the manager is honouring the deal that I signed.

  • dom03 on 02/10/2020 - 15:22

    Does anyone know or can check the cancellation terms for me? i.e. is there an ETC or a pay-out figure for the plan if you choose to cancel right away after signup and just take advantage of getting the $500 Gift Card?

    • Quantumcat on 02/10/2020 - 15:24

      I think it is only 400 and something, meaning you can get a small profit from doing this (assuming you want something from jb)

  • Quantumcat on 02/10/2020 - 15:23

    Successfully got this at belco ACT. Store guy said he'd only been there for 40 minutes and had had 3 sign ups in that time

    • dwhes on 02/10/2020 - 15:28

      New sim or port?

      • Quantumcat on 02/10/2020 - 15:30

        New.

        Going to retire my number that I've had for 20 years because it gets too many spam calls and sms. And keep my new one off the internet completely.

        • sauce2k on 02/10/2020 - 15:34

          Lol I'm so confused of the whole thing. Some said it's only for port in and some said its only for new numbers..

          • Dealhunter967671 on 02/10/2020 - 15:35

            @sauce2k: Official information said strictly ports only, likely badly trained reps. When they go to complete the orders on their next shift, they’ll likely have issues too!

        • dom03 on 02/10/2020 - 15:39

          You do realise there is no such thing as new, your getting somebody else's number that was used years ago and probably by many others before them, its recycled. How you get the sorry wrong number or spam calls forever.

          The only way is to somehow get a provider to give you a brand new number from a newly generated block of numbers that they released, I don't know anyone who can do that.

  • Nick K on 02/10/2020 - 15:31

    Got it at JB hi-fi Chatswood. System down so they do it on paper. So will take long.

    btw just confirmed with Telstra you can merge your existing post paid number to the new number. They said there may be a small downtime for the process to take effect.

    Update** Downtime may be a few hrs to take affect once you cancel existing Telstra number and they change it to the new sim card

    • Sphynx on 03/10/2020 - 10:48

      So you're saying you signed up to a new 12 month contract but retained your original number?

    • Nobby47 on 03/10/2020 - 16:28

      Correct - took me 2 hours on Wednesday to move my existing out of contract number onto the new plan to replace my new number.

  • Chicago1 on 02/10/2020 - 15:56

    Sorry if I missed above, but 2 questions.
    1. Can you get this for a new service - not a port-in?
    2. Does this also include free 3 months of Binge as is listed on the Telstra website for SIM only plans?

    • Inthemix on 02/10/2020 - 15:59

      new service apparently so
      not sure bout Binge

    • Michaelz101 on 02/10/2020 - 16:00

      1) Port In only. can be solved by buying a optus prepaid sim

      2)no as it is through JB hifi plan. you do get other benefits such as nrl,afl livepass, kayo discounts etc

      • Inthemix on 02/10/2020 - 16:25

          The memo which I personally saw says port in only. Some stores obviously didn’t listen to their morning briefing

    • Gryllis on 03/10/2020 - 17:34

      Does include Binge. Signed up yesterday and I had 6 months free Binge when I setup the Telstra app.

  • clang823 on 02/10/2020 - 16:17

    JB World Square was pretty quiet and had to give them all my details, sign a paper form and wait for them to finalise on their end when the system is back up and running. I’ll have to go back in to pick up SIM card and gift card when it’s sorted though.

    It still amazes me how Telstra somehow after all these years is still in operation and is unable to process more than a few hundred orders a day without clogging up and halting their systems!. I would have thought by now somehow someone would have taken over this very weak, fragile, incompetent, old, and decaying telco company and it's even worse infrastructure. In my mind there is a huge market to make profit from here by becoming a very first telco in Australian history to provide a working network, that's fast, stable, with great or excellent customer service. Something Australia has never had before.

    • Kontiki on 02/10/2020 - 17:09

      I imagine these gift card deals attract a lot of fraudsters, so I can imagine the required admin trail would be quite intensive for them, especially over the phone.

      I just signed up. Very happy as I missed out on Monday. Thanks OP.

    • wizzlesticks on 02/10/2020 - 17:09
      +1

      I think your statement is a bit over the top. They're actually mid-transition - transferring data from old to new infrastructure - which caused the credit check outage. So they are in the very midst of what you are actually suggesting the company should do, and this is what is causing the outage in the first place (modernising systems architecture).

    • dom03 on 02/10/2020 - 17:19

      To be clear I was not directly referring to this particular outage for this deal (due to credit checks? I was not even aware of the reason…). I was referring to Telstra as a whole company overall and there losing market share and year on year decline in sales and the ever increasing resentment for a company notoriously known to be hated for everything they do (or lack of).

  • angelsdsd on 02/10/2020 - 16:41

    Based in Metro Melbourne. Called Hoppers Crossing first then said they are in warehouse setting at the moment and recon I try Geelong. Then I called Geelong and was told they cannot help me as it's hard to verify IDs etc. via the phone and asked me to call the 135244. Waited 50 mins and got connected, then on the phone talking, verifying IDs. etc it took about another 15-20 mins. A bit long time to get it all done. However I haven't received any email confirmation yet so far, I was only given a Telstra Sales ID. Has anyone signed up got any email confirmation?

  • mrkorrupt on 02/10/2020 - 16:53

  • kevinyhli on 02/10/2020 - 17:15

    I did the sign up earlier at Eastgardens (new number) - rang prior to confirm this is acceptable. Signed manual paperwork and they gave me a Sales Order. The people in store have now rang and told me that (1) they made a mistake and accepted me as a port in, and (2) claimed that Telstra is not honoring this if the orders are not in today. This is just extremely poor business practice and I will be looking to lodge a complaint with Fair Trading if this is not being taken forward. Anyone else got the call as well?

    • sauce2k on 02/10/2020 - 20:15

      Lol u see this whole thing is confusing. Half the people saying it's port in only and half says new numbers only. I signed up around lunch time port in from optus I got a transfer code from telstra pretty much straight away and gave it to the dude at jb hifi. Hopefully I don't receive a call saying they not honoring..

    • kevinyhli on 05/10/2020 - 20:08

      Update - eventually the store manager rang me back on Sunday afternoon and advised that the deal will indeed be honoured in general, except that the $10/month credit cannot be given as we have missed the boat. She was very apologetic but committed to working with me to work something out. We eventually worked out a deal and good to see JB holding their promise there although it was a slightly painful journey.

  • Firefly on 02/10/2020 - 17:19

    Did my paper form in store. Just picked up an Optus sim on the way in, gave them that number. Once it's up and running hope to move my current Telstra pre paid number across onto the new service.

    Only annoying thing is you have to wait till it's activated to get the gift card, so will have to go back into the store on the weekend some time.

    Thanks for the heads up all. Went into Adelaide CBD store this afternoon based on a previous comment. Same deal, heaps of people doing it and systems down so taking paper forms.

    Posting now because I just got a call (6 or so hours later) to confirm it can now happen. As of 10 mins ago, now on Telstra. Just gotta go back tomorrow to get my $500 gift card now.

    Great work by the Adelaide Rundle Mall staff too. Getting smashed by requests, system down, and they did it all with great customer service and very happy to confirm this unadvertised (basically OzBargian only?) deal.

    • asian bargain hunter on 02/10/2020 - 21:39

      So were you able to get this on new service or port in only

      • Gryllis on 02/10/2020 - 21:45

        Port from Cirlces.life…which the guy had never heard of, and I'm glad to be done with. He never mentioned it had to be a port, but everyone around me seemed to be porting as far as I could tell. Quite a few people doing it this afternoon.

  • realfancyman on 02/10/2020 - 22:38

    Amazing deal. Went to Adelaide CBD store around 6:30pm, system still semi down and there were about 5 people trying to sign up with only 3 staff members and each application taking ~45 mins… Staff member was able to put in the order to the online system and using a paper form as a backup, but it was stuck in pending so they were unable to issue the gift card. Told to come back tomorrow to collect.

    Was planning to activate the service with a new number, but was told it was for port ins only. Ran over to Woolies and grabbed a $2 Optus SIM, activated and used to port over immediately, worked perfectly.

    SIM card is active now and works perfectly, transferred to eSIM through the My Telstra app, which is a great feature I didn't have with Boost. My current number is with Boost so I'll be transferring to Optus, then to Telstra and going through chat to replace the number on the plan with this number.

    Thanks for posting

    • JoKing on 03/10/2020 - 11:28

    • assailantsky on 03/10/2020 - 12:45

      You can, ask for a change of number on Telstra app chat. But both numbers have to be under the same Telstra account. If they are not, you'll have to do a change of ownership first, then a change of number. This process was explained in the earlier $59 thread.

      • I Smell Pennies on 03/10/2020 - 14:30

      04571xxxx ( small month to month)

      04683xxxx ( 12 month contract Jbhifi BYO)

      End result:

      04571xxxxx (12 month contract jbhifi byo)

      04683xxxxx ( cancelled)

      I typed this for my guy and he understood it
