Looks like Telstra are having a one day sale on Thursday the 5th August and for those still looking for an iPhone 12 mini this looks like the cheapest deal so far (even though new iPhones will be announced in a month or so this still seems like a pretty good deal).

It says up to $500 off the iPhone 12 range but not more specific details.

Given that the iPhone 12 mini 64gb has an RRP of $1,199 and the cost of the cheapest plan is $55 it is safe to say that the iPhone mini 64gb will be $500 off based on the total minimum cost of $754.

Other deals include:

  • iPad Air 4 64GB cellular for $899 ($200 off so the same cost as the wifi only version)
  • Apple Watch SE 40mm $404 ($100 off RRP)

Guessing full details will be out tomorrow for all the deals.

It says specials are available both online and in store.

    I just paid $884 for a mini at Officeworks a few days ago. Anyone know if I can return it or get the difference refunded?

    • fantoo on 05/08/2021 - 08:18

      Just shoot a email to officeworks.

      Nothing goes on simply asking

  • Gebb on 05/08/2021 - 08:00

    "Something went wrong - We're unable to process your order at this time"… Anyone else getting this and have a fix? Have messaged them as advised but no response yet

    • fantoo on 05/08/2021 - 08:17

      What browser and device are you on?

      Do it on the App.
      Easier, faster and no issues

          myTelstra app

    Having issues checking out with a plan. Stating something went wrong.

    Though with a plan added it could continue to checkout.

      Just checked out. Worked fine for me without a plan

  • vikvance on 05/08/2021 - 08:01

    The Samsung S21 Ultra is so tempting.

    I don't really need a new phone at all, so visiting Ozbargain is making me spend money instead of saving it … lol …

    • shrugies on 05/08/2021 - 08:10

      If it helps: I think it's been <$1000 from the Samsung EPP/Edu with trade-in? Can't remember exactly but knowing it's been sold for <$1000 is stopping me from jumping on any >$1000 deal :)

    • fantoo on 05/08/2021 - 08:16

      Agree with @shrugies.
      Samsung phone prices dropped down quickly.
      samsung EPP store have them on at least $350 off most of the times.

      Also, telco staffs could get them even cheaper which floods marketplace with even cheaper phones.

      Best bet is go for iphones or go to sleep

    I've just ordered iPhone 12 128GB for$1029 without a phone plan through my Telstra plus account.
    Thanks OP!!! Initially I tried to order using my galaxy phone but I couldn't order it without a plan so I tried with iPad and manage to order it. Looking forward to going back to iPhone.

  • jdreamer on 05/08/2021 - 08:29

    You can buy iPhone outright without plan. So total cost is only $699 for 64gb.

    • mini2 on 05/08/2021 - 08:33

      During checkout, does it still ask you for your ID and stuff?

      • fantoo on 05/08/2021 - 08:36

        yes it does.

  • Orbilf on 05/08/2021 - 08:38

    Tried to price match with Officeworks, they won't price match because you need a Telstra account to make this purchase.

    • mini2 on 05/08/2021 - 08:39

      Thanks for trying.

      • Gebb on 05/08/2021 - 08:58

        I tried as well, rang head office and they said they would but they don't have any stock left

    • ChillBro on 05/08/2021 - 10:41

      Heard the same too. What a weak excuse. It should go for Amazon Prime items too if that's the case.

    • elhucko on 06/08/2021 - 08:05

      They price matched it for me at Officeworks Hobart.

  • MadgeH on 05/08/2021 - 08:39

    Is it worth waiting for later in the day to see if JB matches?

    • fantoo on 05/08/2021 - 08:42

      They wont match it mate. Unless you have a mate working

    • John on 05/08/2021 - 12:51

      They can do it because they have access to Telstra (I went there earlier today). They can't accept JB gift card though.

      • BargainBenno on 05/08/2021 - 14:00

        So you could take out the $69 plan over 12 months and get the gift card and use this to help pay for a phone.

        • John on 05/08/2021 - 14:08

          Not sure, I was asking them on an outright purchase.

  • oddshapes on 05/08/2021 - 08:43

    I asked the telstra bot assistant if their phones are locked and received the below message:

    "When you purchase a Pre-Paid device from Telstra, it's locked to the Telstra Network. If a device comes on a plan, it's not locked to the Telstra Network"

    So, if you buy the phone and not choose a plan, does that mean the phone arrives locked to the network? To unlock it the cost is $80.

    • fantoo on 05/08/2021 - 08:45
      +2

      latest iphone are not locked to any networks as mentioned in earlier comment.

      No, regardless of choosing a plan or buying outright, these phones are not locked

  • gviddy on 05/08/2021 - 08:48

    Lame. You have to select a plan. This then makes it a bad deal.

    • fantoo on 05/08/2021 - 08:49

      No you dont. You can buy outright like many others did.

      • gviddy on 05/08/2021 - 08:52
        -5

        No, you cannot. The only button is NEXT and it is greyed out until you add a plan. Lame deal!

    Note: Looks like you dont earn telstra point if you choose to buy outright

    Taken from FAQ

    You’ll be rewarded with points based on your account spend every month. You can earn 10 points for every $1 of eligible spend.

    You can also take up special member offers to earn bonus points.

    Note: some exclusions apply on your account spend such as outright purchases, credits, refunds and late payment fees.

    • TechVisar on 05/08/2021 - 10:00

      Yes, you are right, thanks for the heads up, under the FAQ

      What is eligible spend?
      Eligible spend is defined as money spent on the following products and services:

      a) paying your monthly bill for your Telstra services (after any discounts or refunds are applied);

      b) recharging your Telstra prepaid service;

      c) buying a mobile handset or hardware from Telstra through monthly instalment payments

    For those who have Telstra Plus points, you can also redeem them now in the Telstra Plus points store (the points reqd have also been discounted) so could be a great time to redeem these. I.E. iPhone 12 128GB - 50,000 points + $888 seems excellent to me

    • ModeratelyEnthused on 05/08/2021 - 09:56

      Thanks for the heads up!
      I wanted a Pro Max over 24 months but they wouldn’t let me keep my current plan discounts ($50pm) and had to sign up for a new plan with less data that costs more. Went to the plus points store, redeemed some points saved an extra $100 and can pay it off over 24 months and keep my current plan!

    • butterbuts on 05/08/2021 - 14:55

      I got my iPhone 12 a few weeks back when they had lowered the price to 400,000 points. At the time I had 150,000 points but they only let you use 127,000 towards the phone so the 128GB cost me $768. All of a month later and they let you use 140,000 points now and the 256GB model would cost $816 and teh 128GB would have been $624 so $140 cheaper.

      Ah well, been enjoying the phone in anycase

    Wondering if I get a 2 dollar sim and register the sim, will it sort this for me ?

    Can anyone recommend what to do. I am trying to buy a iPhone outright sonit isn’t much trouble to buy a 2 aud sim and register for the greater good.

    Appreciate any inputs from fellow ozbargains?

      No, it has to be attached to an upfront plan if you want to pay things off interest free over 12/24/36 months.

      You can do that through "Telstra Rewards" you need to have an active ongoing account, but currently the phone price is higher than advertised here in the deals.

      • John on 05/08/2021 - 23:17

        Its about the same for the iPhones? 7500 points + ~$1008 or 16000 points + 984 for iPhone 12 128GB vs $1029 outright

      Just tried adding a plan+phone (on a new Telstra ID) and it works…could try purchasing the cheapest plan and using Shopback to get cashback equivalent to its cost, then cancelling the plan after the first month - end up paying the outright cost only.

    Just bought it via Telstra Plus. You can choose to do 12/24 months repayment there (without attaching any phone plan), so its not a bad idea if paying outright is not something you want to do. Need at least 7500 points to redeem the offer.

  • hiaaron on 05/08/2021 - 13:16

      What about the credit check? I also have an old Telstra account without any active service but it asks me for a credit check when I try to buy it outright. Could you please update me? Thanks.

      • hiaaron on 05/08/2021 - 13:45

        Yeah, even though I logged in, it still asked me to do a credit check. Not sure if they actually did it but there was a page with warning at the bottom.
