Greetings everyone, spotted this deal on the JB Mobile page and seems to be a pretty great offer.

JB are offering the iPad Pro 11" M1 128GB Cellular + Wi-Fi for $649 Upfront on their $69 / 300GB Per Month Mobile Broadband Plan.

The net amount for the whole year is $1477, considering that the iPad alone has an RRP of $1449, this seems to be pretty ridiculous to get 300GB of 5G connection per month for effectively $28 (or a big discount on the iPad). Might be a good choice instead of NBN for lower use users and tether internet off the iPad to save some money.

The plan is 300GB per month at full speed and then drops to 1.5Mbps after that.

This is for "new" customers, which should essentially be taking out any new or additional Telstra plan, rather than be a new customer in total.

I'm not too sure, but it may also be possible to jump on Telstra Live Chat after purchasing and ask if they can apply a $10 monthly credit for being a new user. It has previously worked and might be worth it to save a further $120.

As the price of the iPad is upfront, you can pay that portion with gift cards too to save a bit more.

Considering the discounting, this is effectively an $828 gift card which is provided for the iPad. You may be able to negotiate to get a higher storage model for an extra price but that is dependent on the staff member.

As always, enjoy :)

    I was told this is esim card for this ipad.No option for normal sim card. Is that true ?

      no, i was provided a physical sim card which can insert into any router with sim slot.

      • nuknuk on 04/08/2021 - 09:59

        Should I need activate SIM card before inserting into any router? How to activate it?

        • larry0426 on 04/08/2021 - 13:33

          No need. I just bought a Telstra smart modem from Facebook market place around $10-20, then insert your sim to the sim slot, connect to WiFi and open your browser, type 192.168.0.1
          login, follow the process.
          ADVANCE——INTERNET——APN:telstra.internet——-select IPV4&IPV6———SAVE
          Then it should be connected

            @larry0426: What's the speed like? and Ping?

            Also according to Telstra you can only use the 4G "backup" if your NBN is down, how did you get it to work?

            • larry0426 on 04/08/2021 - 17:06
              +1

              @TravelKon: 150Mbps
              Ping is 18ms
              Just change the setting so it works

              • TravelKon on 04/08/2021 - 21:35

                @larry0426: Will either of the Telstra smart modem gen 1 or 2 works?

                    @larry0426: Hi Larry i just tried it works great! Thanks for the info!

                    Also would you or anyone know if this telstra modem gen 2 can take other SIM from optus or Voda? If so how?

                    • larry0426 on 05/08/2021 - 23:27

                      @TravelKon: No worries bro. Enjoy it. How is your speed????
                      I am not sure if it is locked to Telstra only.

  • giventofly on 03/08/2021 - 22:52

    How would iMessage work on this?

    Assuming it would have a different number to my mobile?

    • coxymla on 04/08/2021 - 14:28

      Yes but just turn the iPad's phone number off in iMessage settings.

      • giventofly on 04/08/2021 - 16:13

    Thanks snowbeauty

    Managed to get a $110 gift card. Had to prove via Amazon chat that their iPad was Aussie stock.

    So may want to do that beforehand

      Would you mind advising your store location?

        Went to JB Maribrynong for the refund, but bought the iPad at another store (all in Victoria)

    YMMV but I just got 50000 points added to my Telstra Plus account after signing up to this offer.

    "Earn 50,000 bonus Telstra Plus points when you add an eligible service to your account before 31 August.

    Eligibility criteria applies. If you haven't already, join Telstra Plus at the time of adding a new service. Only redeemable once every 30 days"

    https://plus.telstra.com.au/offers

    • joeiwu on 05/08/2021 - 20:50

      How long did it take for you to receive the 50,000 points? Do you know what the eligible criterias are?

      • larry0426 on 05/08/2021 - 23:34
        +1

        I signed up 2 days ago then just received the 50000 points.

        • joeiwu on 06/08/2021 - 09:38

          Great, no sign of the points for me yet, I hope it automatically gets applied. I did already have an MBB service with Telstra, and hope I'm eligible…

      • JordanM on 06/08/2021 - 11:55

        Signed up on the 31st, received the points on the 5th.

        • joeiwu on 06/08/2021 - 12:55

          Awesome, thanks!

    • Bedgrub on 05/08/2021 - 21:25

      The conditions say for new customers - did you already have a Telstra service, or just the plus account?

      I just moved over to Aldi in the last couple of weeks :|

      • larry0426 on 05/08/2021 - 23:35

        I am with Telstra home broadband for years then just signed up this plan 2 days ago, just received the bonus points. You can add any plan to your existing account.

      • JordanM on 06/08/2021 - 11:51
        +1

        New service not new customers.

        I already had an existing plus account and JB Mobile Phone plan, Upfront Data service and prepaid with Telstra.

        • TravelKon on 07/08/2021 - 21:18

          How long does the points get credited after you sign up? The telstra customer service chat says 2-3 billings cycle?

          • joeiwu on 08/08/2021 - 04:52

            @TravelKon: I got them manually applied in the end, perhaps I got lucky?

    • ummmz on 08/08/2021 - 16:39

      Not sure how you got 50,000 points, when I enquire with telstra they shot me down and advise this is a JB plan and not eligible.

      • joeiwu on 08/08/2021 - 20:05

        Try on live chat…

        • ummmz on 08/08/2021 - 20:28

          Thats where I tried and they said its not eligible. Will try again.

          • joeiwu on 08/08/2021 - 20:35

            @ummmz: Think its a bit of a pot-luck and some reports above say that points were auto-applied a few days after sign up too, so one could also wait :-)

  • joeiwu on 06/08/2021 - 10:01

    For those interested, might be worth hopping onto livechat to try and get $10 port in / loyalty credit. No guarantee, however I've heard some manage to get 6 months of $10 off.

  • regenade on 06/08/2021 - 20:53

    Anybody had any luck getting it done over the phone or via the Click and Collect route. Now with Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in lockdown there needs to be a way out to do this.

    Also anyone who got it price matched with Amazon $1339 and from Melbourne, can you please post your receipt here. TIA

    • joeiwu on 06/08/2021 - 22:14

      I got in just before lockdown. Gonna be challenging doing during lockdown as they check ID etc…and whole process to go through. If you want to stack using gift cards it’s even more challenging. Price match entirely up to the store manager’s discretion, so I don’t think a receipt would be very helpful, just better to move onto the next store to get the price match.

      • regenade on 06/08/2021 - 23:16

        Very unlikely to get the offer then as Amazon will probably put up price to RRP by then :(

  • jassssone on 06/08/2021 - 22:23

    For those who signed up, when you log into My Telstra, does it show 150GB or 300Gb on this service account?

    • joeiwu on 06/08/2021 - 22:30

      Mine shows 300gb

    • JordanM on 07/08/2021 - 07:57

      shows 300GB

      If it doesnt you will probably have to go back to JB to fix it, it was a checkbox the JB staffer needed to click during processing.

      • jassssone on 07/08/2021 - 10:56

        Thanks man, mine shows 150Gb unfortunately

  • watson4884 on 07/08/2021 - 19:07

    Signed up today
    No price match in both stores.
    No 12.9 in stock.
    Thinking to return the ipad for credit..

    • joeiwu on 07/08/2021 - 19:43

      Surprised price match wasn’t allowed but it is quite dependent on store manager. I doubt u can return iPad for credit though, but do let me know how u go!

      • watson4884 on 07/08/2021 - 19:44

        Maybe wait until 12.9 back in stock.. ( the cloest store which has stock is 400km away :§

          +1

          From previous comments, getting a 12.9” is a more involved process, but definitely something you can try (get 11” and then return for 12.9” and pay difference in another store). Also don’t know how long Amazon special pricing will be there…

    Is this available as click and collect for melbourians

    • joeiwu on 08/08/2021 - 20:06

      I believe if you had completed the sign up process already and just need to collect the iPad then they would do it. From scratch signing up, it is challenging as they need to have you beside a computer and process is often lengthy depending on how responsive the system is (and how good the guy/girl is at processing the application).

  • dazagrt on 09/08/2021 - 08:30

    This is a dumb question but is there a better link than the first one? I am just getting kicked to the banner ad at JB which takes me nowhere.
    I'm keen to get this purchased and out of the way.

    • joeiwu on 09/08/2021 - 11:23

      Why do you need a link? Think JB knows pretty well by now the deal and all I did was walk in and mention the 300gb iPad Telstra deal.

      • dazagrt on 09/08/2021 - 13:31

        I was trying to order online you see.
        What I ended up having to do was ring around and find a store with stock, then I drove to them.

        I got one, it's amazing how small it feels after 12.9" iPads.

        • joeiwu on 09/08/2021 - 15:28

          I see! Yea, can't get online unfortunately, as they need to do all the contract stuff. Glad you got there in the end.

  • a-friend on 09/08/2021 - 09:01

    Experts please advise, 12.9 ipad pro or imac for the swap? Was kicked out of one store trying to swap it for the Imac. Will try again if lockdown ends. Trying to get an Imac as I already have an Ipad air.

    Anyone managed to get $10 credit from telstra? I am told since this is a JB plan I have to speak to JB direct…

    Also still trying to get 50,000 points from telstra, apparently JB plans is not "eligible"

    PS: managed to swap the iPad 11 with iPad Pro 12.9, the receipt doesn't say if you purchase it on a plan so I believe there is no way JB staff will know.

    • joeiwu on 10/08/2021 - 08:40

      How much did you pay for the difference? Also yes have had confirmations of people getting $10 but not easy. Also the 50k points

      • TravelKon on 13/08/2021 - 14:04

        The iPad Pro 12.9 128GB WiFi only was $1649 so paid $200 extra

  • Focus8 on 10/08/2021 - 01:12

    I have a cellular iPad air, seldom put the sim card into it.
    Wondering whether you guys would really use this Telstra plan on an iPad Pro?

    And, wish I can buy 256GB 11", but there is no price match on Amazon to save $110. :<

    • doweyy on 10/08/2021 - 11:47
      +2

      Amazon are actually price matching Umart for their iPad prices. If you want the 256GB version, you could ask JB to price match Umart to get the same $110 off.

      • akula on 11/08/2021 - 08:59

        Umart is 1489 tough.

      • watson4884 on 13/08/2021 - 21:13

        Asked the local store they dont price match umart price.. Didnt ask if they price match amazon though

    So how are people getting this deal in Melbourne?

    • joeiwu on 11/08/2021 - 14:43

      Nobody is to my knowledge. Cannot be had over the phone. Happily be proven wrong though.

      • cc23 on 11/08/2021 - 15:20

        Yeah called up a few, no chance over the phone. Which is weird because I did the $69 a month, $500 gift card deal over the phone last year.

        • joeiwu on 11/08/2021 - 15:41

          Quite surprised, i think you are lucky to get that over the phone as I don't believe they want to do any of these deals over the phone (maybe Telstra disallows them to?)

        • regenade on 12/08/2021 - 18:45

    Great deal OP… had to travel to Morayfield from Brisbane to find stock but the process was super easy, linked to existing Telstra accounts (hopefully 50,000 points arrives soon), switched it over at another JB Hifi for wifi-only model and got an Apple Pencil (gen 2) + case and worked out to the same price. Also put the sim in a spare telstra smart modem (gen 2) and working great, got on live-chat with Telstra and negotiated $10/m discount for 6mths on the mobile internet, and big thanks to all the advice from Ozbargain!

    Only downside was the staff at JB Hifi are so keen for the on-sell that I had to reject the apple care, apple case, apple screen protector, norton anti-virus etc.

    • TravelKon on 13/08/2021 - 13:52

      What did you say to get that $10 credit?

      • megaphat09 on 14/08/2021 - 11:33

        now that my Aug billing date has already passed, JB refused to compensate add credit to my account. Nor did they promise me when can they fix the issue.
        this is just absurd.

        Planning to take this issue to ACCC if still not fix by wednesday.
