Greetings everyone, just spotted that JB have placed the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 4G 128gb on promotion on their $99 Per Month 150gb Plan.

Considering that this plan has a $594 Early Termination Charge, you could essentially get the phone for $594 (+pro-rated first month charge) if you cancelled the plan early :)

Seems like an awesome deal for a brand new phone which is $799 on the Samsung Education store.

The 5G variant is also available for $149 Upfront.

I believe this may also be eligible for free Samsung Galaxy Buds Live too. May need to confirm with the store staff when ordering, the advertisement doesn't include this, however the bonus has been eligible on JB deals in the past.

As always, enjoy!

Note: In Store Only, may exclude some Victorian residents.

Edit: You can signup today 8/10 and pick up the phone when it starts tomorrow. See comments.

        i literally was there at 9am when they opened - the JBHIFI Rep showed me on the telstra system/jbhifi system that the deal has expired (2/10) was valid from 30/9 - 2/10

        he agreed that it was one of the wierdest deals or expiry of a deal he had ever seen considering the phone is officially released tomorrow

        • doweyy on 08/10/2020 - 10:18

          Definitely for the S20 FE? Show them the catalogue, it shows on there right next to the 4G deal.. Seems like false advertising then or a print error if it's not in the system then..

      • miztadave on 08/10/2020 - 10:17

        Here for reference - from the current catalogue supposedly valid from 8-12/10/2020.

          is there a date on the catalogue? i also showed him the original snippet from the OP post and asked for a date on the picture but couldn't see one

          FYI UPDATE JUST WENT BACK DEAL DOESNT START UNTIL 9/10

            @Gmanred: Right on the front - Starts Thursday 8/10 ends Monday 12/10

            • Gmanred on 08/10/2020 - 11:21

              @slimdealin: yeh thats what i thought too and argued - if you go to the actual page of the phone deal it has starts or released 9/10 so cant actually get the phone until tomorrow even though they have it

              he put one aside for me anyway so ill get it tomorrow

          • 4kbargain on 08/10/2020 - 11:08

        • vchung916 on 08/10/2020 - 11:11

          Anyone going in tomorrow please also confirm whether the buds are included in the deal too. Thanks.

  • CyberMurning on 08/10/2020 - 11:07

    so confusing with the dates. thanks for member who visiting jb already.
    can you also ask if we can get new number in store?

  • CodeXD on 08/10/2020 - 11:23

    Also went in store. Deal starts tomorrow so they can't put you in the system today.

    This is a port in only deal so you CANNOT sign up with new number. At least the JB rep didn't let me.

    Anyone know a cheap sim card? Haha

    • doweyy on 08/10/2020 - 11:24

      Thank you for the update and apologies for the mis-information, seems like JB dropped the ball a bit on this one in terms of advertisement in the catalogue.

  • joaawh on 08/10/2020 - 11:25

    I went in store, I was able to get the 5G 256gb model for $249 upfront with a new number as well.

    Seems to be luck of the draw depending on your team member.

    • doweyy on 08/10/2020 - 11:27

      Awesome work, were you eligible for the free buds also?

              @joaawh: I just went into the Queen St JB in Brisbane and he was happy to give me the buds with the phone, but he couldn't find anything relating to a Telstra plan for the 5G 256gb model for $249 upfront. Only 5G 128gb model for $149 upfront. He called the Garden City store but they said they didn't know anything either. I might try a different JB store I guess.

    • childchance on 08/10/2020 - 11:33

      care to share which JB Hi-Fi?

      • joaawh on 08/10/2020 - 11:36

      • joaawh on 08/10/2020 - 12:49
        +1

        Yeah, she said I'd only have to pay the difference between the two models which was $100.

  • CyberMurning on 08/10/2020 - 11:36

    so just to clarify,
    only 5G 256gb has snapdragon?
    or the 5G 128GB with upfront $149 on the ad also with snapdragon?

    • joaawh on 08/10/2020 - 11:42
      +3

      Both have snapdragon.

      128GB has 6GB's of ram whereas the 256GB has 8GB's.

      • CyberMurning on 08/10/2020 - 11:47

        cool i will get the 5g then

      • zuile on 08/10/2020 - 12:54

        5G/ 128GB storage/ 6GB Ram with upfront $149
        5G/ 256GB storage/ 8GB Ram with upfront $249 ? could anyone let me know if it is correct?

  • imissbeans on 08/10/2020 - 12:24

    My local store wouldn't honour this deal. They said it ended already. Not sure why.

      It is on the front page of their catalogue today. Show them that lol

  • luvasaving on 08/10/2020 - 12:51

I live in regional Victoria for your information which is technically not in lockdown as we don't have restrictions on leaving the house.

    This deal - S20 FE 5G 128Gb $743 with ETC - vs S10 5G 256Gb $899?

    • CodeXD on 08/10/2020 - 14:36

      Discussed in there as well, I agree with this comment to get the S20 FE 5G

  • Lsocks on 08/10/2020 - 14:33

    Anyone have suggestions on cheapest way to port in of they don't accept new customers?

  • MegaBob on 08/10/2020 - 15:01

    I'm pretty slow. So if I have an existing Telstra plan already I have to buy a sim, activate that then "port" that over to this Telstra deal. Then I can just cancel the contract here and pay out the ETC and I have a S20 FE to call my own. I was looking at getting the FE 5G 256GB through the .edu portal for $999 but this seems better value.

  • luvasaving on 08/10/2020 - 17:25

    Can confirm port in is not required, I just asked for a new no. The whole process took 20 mins and I paid $149 and JB staff swiped an $1000 GC. Advised I should get a msg tomorrow to pick up pre-ordered phone and bonus buds live!

    • CyberMurning on 08/10/2020 - 17:37

    Just got this deal in Adelaide.

    Staff asked if I was existing Telstra customer. I said yes. She said "Great, less work for me. This will just get you a second Telstra number, then".

    Paid $149 for 5G version.

    Staff said the phone comes in a package wapped up with the headphones, so yes, I will be getting the headphones.

    Contract says $594 ETC.

    Fingers crossed I get to pick up the phone and headphones tomorrow, then promptly cancel the plan!

      Still waiting for my actual phone but… :/

  • biggq on 08/10/2020 - 18:07

    I'm not technology gifted so any opinions gratefully received. At the moment, I have a 19month old S9 which I like but just last week had the battery replaced under warranty, and my 13yo son has my old S7 which he likes also. I'm on an Optus $59 which does not require ETC, would the S20 fe 5g be a decent upgrade for me and my S9 would go to my son or would I be better off giving him the S20 fe 5g and me keeping the S9?

    • BennyHe2018 on 08/10/2020 - 18:40

      There is not a huge difference between S20 FE and S9 for light users. Only when you are playing games or using performance demanding apps, then you can tell the difference. Also Samsung phone's price is dropping rapidly so better wait for longer if not urgently needing a phone.

      I am using a Huawei Mate 9 bought in 2017. Still going strong except the cracked screen since dropping.

      • biggq on 08/10/2020 - 19:28

      Recommend purchasing S20FE 5G 128GB through Samsung Australia:
      S20FE 5G 128GB: $1149
      S7 Trade up: - $225 ($200 trade in promo, $25 S7)
      $50 signup bonus : - $50
      Total Price: $874 with bonus Buds Live (RRP $319)

      If you sell the Buds Live for $200-$250, you can potentially upgrade to the S20FE 5G for $624-$674.

      Same with me. Just competed at Castlehill. New connection. No need to port. 5G with 128GB. Comes with buds live. They said no option to select 256GB. First I went to Rouse hill JB and they told they can’t do the plan today and asked me to come tomorrow. Decided to try my luck with castle hill and worked out. I think it depends on the store person 😎.

      They reduced plan to 89

    • ghostdom on 08/10/2020 - 19:33

      really I was at Broadway this afternoon around 4pm and the lady told me the deal starts tomorrow. she did confirm it would come with the free bud and also 256gb version is not included in this deal…

    From Samsung website

    Buds Offer available for pre-orders of Galaxy S20 FE between 24.09.2020 – 08.10.2020.

    So if you signed today at jbhifi with this plan deal you will get the bud because you are preordering the phone.

    Tomorrow is not pre-order anymore as the phone is already at the stores….

  • jonbobble on 08/10/2020 - 20:51

    Got the 5G version. Really helpful JB guy set me up with $10 off monthly payments (so $89 a month) and confirmed that as it all went through today I'll get the free buds too. Pretty happy. Thanks for the post Op.

    So a friend took this deal with new number.
    Turn out this is mistake he want to port his current number from Voda instead.

    Is that still possible to do?
    Can he get a blank Telstra Sim, port the Voda number to that Sim then someone at Telstra swap that with the new number from this deal?
    Or any other easier way?

    • realfancyman on 15/10/2020 - 00:57

      He can port it over to a telstra $2 Sim and then once the number is with telstra it can replace the postpaid number

        As it says:

        *Offer available for purchases between 09.10.2020-14.10.2020 of Galaxy S20 FE or while stocks last. Buds Live colour is fixed and may not be substituted for an alternate type of colour.

        I was able to purchase the 5G model on the $99 plan (reduced to $89) as per the posted deal and buds were included. Although the buds deal has been extended, the key phrase is "while stocks last". The store I visited had 3 in stock (now 2) - so if you want them better not delay :-)

        • Raskids10 on 09/10/2020 - 14:31

          I got the same deal. S20 fe 4g with free white buds. Also plan reduced to 89$ per months although my was a new number. The store was pretty good. He even mentioned I can cancel for any reason with max $594 etc like I didn’t know.

  • slimdealin on 09/10/2020 - 09:54

      • mattman on 09/10/2020 - 12:04

        Going through the process in store now for wifey, being told in store that buds seems to be for outright purchase only.

        Seems JB don't really know what's going on.

        I mean, I don't have any shortage of buds at home (free with everything these days) but free stuff is free stuff.

        If we get a more concrete position from jb at some point we can always go back and whinge later.
