Telstra Day – our monthly one-day sale event where we offer unreal deals on a great range of products – is back once again. Here’s what’s on offer this time around.
Edit: Full list of deals now in title/on Telstra Exchange, iPhone and iPad deals also live, wouldn't fit in the title!
(https://exchange.telstra.com.au/telstra-day-september-2021/)
Mod: Removed S21 Ultra 128GB $1293.60, 256GB $1360.80 Duplicate from title.
Precious time of ozbargainers wasted by Telstra. They already warned us that it's Telstra Day, what else to expect :p
See you guys in the morning
I got catfished
I found the discount under business plans, no outright option.. way to go misleading everyone. Thanks Luke
Misleading post here. Need add plan to get 50%
report it
So did you get one by adding a plan or are you just happy to troll?
Yup, and in their advertisement it does not say that plan need to be purchased:
Telstra Day deals: September
We’ve got some real bangers!
We will be taking 50% off the price of the Samsung Galaxy S21 128GB and 256GB. Both models are down to $624 and $672 respectively.
How about 40% off the RRP of an iPhone 12 mini? Was $1199, now it’s $720. Save $479! Or, maybe you’re a tablet fan. We’ve got the 20% off the RRP of an iPad Air: now $880, saving you $219. Only on Telstra Day!
And there are plenty more where that came from!
Save 50% off RRP when you add to an eligible Mobile plan.
Was never going to happen
What plans are eligible?
Early termination fee applies if cancelled after a month?
You can buy outright.
*pokes stick at website
Come on, do something
turn it off n on
🙄
How do I change my vote to negative?
Under title there is a tab called vote. Revoke vote and make it neg
Thanks. I can undo my + but can't change it to a neg. Ah well.
SNAFU!!!
At least, eBay does not disappoint us at 12am.
Stay up to get this for wife.. My F5 button is broken. Cmon Telstra I need to go to bed!!
Stayed up, now I be late to work ffs
not work from home?
late to work? how long does the walk to the study take cuzzz
As if Telstra isn't hated enough… Let us know if you purchased the base S21 at 50% off? Samsung could have offloaded so much redundant stock…
Lol. I stayed up for a Scheduled Maintenance? What a joke. On the bright side, I chatted with a Telstra customer support and was told that they are accepting back orders for the S21 256Gb. Which means no one will miss out if they're still interested. Was hoping I could get one of the stock items first though.
That's why I don't vote till I proceed with the deal , mega fail lol
I thought it was particularly shady that Luke seemed to ignore all those asking for clarification on how to actually prepare to buy this outright tonight…
He's just the guy that gets paid to engage and advertise. It's Telstra to blame
Bait & switch boys. Bait & switch.
FU, waste of time….and sleep
Well this is going well. Finding someone who can turn it off and on again so we can get some deals. Sorry for the muck-around, folks.
Thanks, please keep us updated
Here’s to hoping
Can you answer a few questions while you're here?
Do I need to be a Telstra customer? Can I just buy a starter sim from Coles/Woolies tomorrow and technically be a Telstra customer?
Do I need to purchase the phone with a plan? I can see a few "Telstra Upfront Mobile Plans", are these the eligible plans?
I wouldn't bother with him, he's guessing. He originally told us you don't need to be an existing Telstra customer, but it became pretty clear after the Telstra day website was revealed that you do need to be a Telstra customer, and it's impossible to sign up to be a new customer online. You need to go instore for an ID check.
Bloody hell. I've literally been telling my girlfriend to go to bed because I'm buying her a present…
Won't be able to go anywhere since I'm in NSW. Guess I'm going back to my original present idea which was a POCO F3….
@Pornboy69er: Your girlfriend is like "but I got enough poco things in my life!". haha jk. Hope you can snag a deal.
Is it worth staying up for maintenance this rate or will there be guaranteed backorder stock tomorrow morning at a minimum?
Luke and Telstra are harvesting our wastes sleep, it was all an elaborate plan. Now the carrot has been dangled, and all us plebs will wait until 4am
The Telstra day page does not say to get eligible plan for the discount, but phone page does. Conflicting info.
Hold on guys.
Luke trying to find out "on-call" country to fix the issue.
Good luck finding someone on-shore who is willing to pick up the phone at this hour unless they have been rostered with "on-call" duty
Go to bed everyone, nothing to see here grins evily
username checks out
Telstra day => Telstra night => Telstra bye
Telstra. Destroying ozbargainers dreams one Telstra day at a time.
well played Luke.. well played.
OMG I'M IN!!!!…. Back in to bed where i should of effin stayed!
What a joke . Under maintenance.
Did you guys even have load balancers ? Is this a telsra day or a telstra week ?
Telstra Weak considering how things are going? Poorly managed event
This feels like its run by Harvey Norman…
or toddlers using technology for the first time…
Did I stutter?
Resellers getting angry passed their bedtime 😴
people really getting these to resell?
I'm just trying to get my mum her first smart phone so she can do covid check-ins easier instead of being hassled to write her details down each time
yes as many times over lolz
The s21 256gb would be a pretty easy flip, watch the unwanted gifts appear on fb, gumtree, eBay lol
Damn never knew people did that, I'm always reluctant to buy electronics off those sites
how much you selling it for? im thinking the same
Telstra joke.
We should have known better.
OzB is crashing too?
Yup. Just crashed on me too.
same for me, hello cloudflare!
We've even Ozbargained the Ozbargain website :)
Is that a first?
It's a first for me that's for sure.
Or, you could have valued your kids more than a discounted phone, but, you do you.
Next time, tell them you are going to the shops to get some ciggys…
Think about the poor people in Afghanistan, people who are loosing family members to COVID or that have lost their job/income due to the national impact.
Perspective helps - it's annoying, but it's just a phone.
I don't think you can blame Telstra. You're prioritizing mobile phone deals over spending time with your kids.
I think the point is that this should take 5mins out of ones day, but Telstra continue to draw it out. I doubt if OP said 'fk around for hours and we just may (or may not) offer 50% off at midnight' this chap would have had a go.
3 hours wasted..
Enough
First time to give a negative vote!
This OP should be banned for misleading all fellow ozbargainers !
At least made to suffer Kogan spam emails for a month!
OzB hammered, error 504.
Wow Telstra..
I'm selling all my Telstra stock THIS INSTANT!
Soz, website is under maintenance… Try again later.
epic fail. typical telstra
Spoke to telstra chat and they won't do the 50 percent off with no plan. Absolute bullshit.
F A R K
Y O U
WHY OFFER AT 12.01 F**KING AM AND NOT BE F***ING READY
WHICH DUMB CLOWN IS IN CHARGE OF THIS CIRCUS
They are sleeping peacefully having sweet dreams while you're here ranting :)
i wouldn't even stay up for a root after midnight and telstra just slapped me backside with no lube
😂 Have an upvote
+1 lol
It should be renamed to Telstra Epic Fail Day.
I just bought two…but only because I had an ABN…that link it seems works…
Please share link ? I've got ABN too.. can you buy outright?
No you must sign-up to a month to month contract…same link just click where it says 'Buy For Your Business'
Yeah that's a no deal!
@donmonster: The payment for phone is in 24 month repayment option only, cannot get the phone outright. Plan can definitely be cancelled no issues.
Just click the link "business" at the top of the Telstra page you are on. Mobiles on a plan. You can't buy outright, only 12/24mths. Same plan price as individual ($55) and can cancel and just pay the 1 mth fee. As not outright, they will charge you the balance of the phone repayments (but have credited the $600 to the account anyway so will just pay the balance).
So you're still paying $1300 and getting a $600 telstra credit? It doesn't look like the business version is on a deal at all, still says "Min cost $1,344 over 24 months plus your chosen plan costs"
but the only option I see on that is monthly payment? No outright?
Booooooo!
boooo-urns!
there's no outright option there?
It's Tel$tra, enough said!
