Went in to check for a friend and saw they had this, seems like a pretty good deal.

Grab a Samsung S21 5G 128GB Upfront for $199 when you sign up as a new or port in customer on Telstra's $69 per month Plan over 12 months. Plan includes 60GB + 20GB bonus data and infinite talk and text. If 128GB isn't enough, you can grab the 256GB variant for $100 more.

That's $1050 off the original jb hifi ticket price of the phones, 128GB is $1247 at officeworks.

Plan over 12 months is $828
Samsung S21 5G 128GB is $199

Total is $1027

    I wonder what the real market price is for S21 5G at the moment. 780 for 128GB?

    • fremeer on 12/09/2021 - 15:56
      +2

      Closer to 680 I would think and most likely less. Total costs of 1027-300(for a year prepaid on Telstra)=727 and that's less less data then what is offered here.

    • Kontiki on 12/09/2021 - 16:07

      Telstra had them on sale last week during Telstra day. 600-something dollars.

      Retail $1350 for 256gb, however due to Telstr day, selling between 900-1000. $800 for 128gb

    You're not an ozbargainer if you don't ask what the ETC is

    • ldcan on 12/09/2021 - 16:59

      What's ETC?

      • ashftc on 12/09/2021 - 17:00
        +2

        Early termination charges. #cancelcontractrightaway

      • yellowfever on 13/09/2021 - 08:13
        +1

        in the past with these deals, the early termination charge would be less than the total cost of the deal itself. eg. ETC would be $300 plus pro rata of the days used on the plan, so say you used the plan for 3 days, $59/30 x 3 days = $5.90. So $300 plus $5.90 = $305.90 payout to end the contract, plus $199 for the upfront you already paid = $504.90 total cost. That would be a deal as it is cheaper than $907 you would have outlaid at the end of the 12 month contract. However need to find out what the ETC actually is.

    • ashftc on 12/09/2021 - 16:59

  • mlburnian on 12/09/2021 - 15:47

    Can you cancel straight away? They used to let you in the past

    • wellzi on 12/09/2021 - 15:53

      You're allowed to cancel, as always, whenever you like… with an ETC.

      • itslittfam on 12/09/2021 - 16:02

        Will it be just ETC or Voucher Repayment + ETC?

        • wellzi on 12/09/2021 - 16:04
          +1

          I've never had to repay the voucher (or, in this case, a phone). I've also been a little sneaky in the past and managed to get live chat to void the ETC by switching over to a Telstra Direct M2M plan before cancelling that plan. I don't think I'd do it again though - the deals are good enough as they are! :)

        • [Deactivated] on 12/09/2021 - 22:15

          I'm also curious if ETC or Voucher + ETC, etc…

      • mlburnian on 12/09/2021 - 16:03

        No, they used to let you cancel without ETC. You just needed to pay first month

    I'm at the end of my 12m contract with Telstra now, is there a minimum port out period? Anyone done this before?

    • JustASmoothSkin on 12/09/2021 - 15:59
      +2

      30 days, usually just grab a discount optus sim to wait the period out.

      • jji91 on 12/09/2021 - 16:01

        Damn. Appreciate the reply, will need to wait for the next deal then.

          +5

          These deals happen all the time, just switch to optus now and then next month just keep ducking in to jb hifi to ask if they have any deals. Most of them get missed by ozbargain because they only last a weekend.

            @JustASmoothSkin: Officially you're correct, but unofficially you can absolutely get around it without much effort.

            Got my dad an iPhone 12 mini, was listed as new customers only so was prepared to buy a sim to do it in my name and transfer over after a month but ended up being able to get him signed up with it as a new number.

            Had him visit the local telstra store a few days later to cancel his existing service and they moved his old number over to the new contract too.

            Like you say though, they run deals pretty often anyway so shouldn't be too much hassle regardless

        • Amr911 on 12/09/2021 - 16:22

          You can get this for a new number, call Telstra and change service to your number.

              • GS9891 on 15/09/2021 - 12:36

                @Amr911: Yeah I activated a $2 SIM and ported my number to it, didn't even load the SIM, once it was on my account though could just ask the Telstra rep to move the number and cancel the prepaid SIM.

                • Amr911 on 15/09/2021 - 12:47

                  @GS9891: Thanks again, looks like I can't benefit from this offer now anyhow!

      If you cbf selling the phone, just get on Telstra chat and negotiate with them to keep your monthly discounted pricing for another 12 months. That's what I always do. Managed to keep the $45 for 5G 80gb plan.

  • souths123 on 12/09/2021 - 15:59

    How do I work out what an ETC would be, say after 6 months on the plan? Would it just be half of the $828 (12 months of $69)?

    I received mine from the Telstra day sale.. what i dont like is the speaker holes are on the top of the frame, not facing your ear, so rather than direct sound to your ear, its out the top for all and sundry to hear

    • Kontiki on 12/09/2021 - 16:11

      I hate that screen real estate these days is more important than, for example, proper speaker placement. You know, things that actually make a phone functional.

      • Austaurean on 12/09/2021 - 16:26

        Yes, that along with a few other little dislikes, im only slightly happy to have updated from my S8 rather than bring wow glad i did it… if it wasn't for my charging port being niggly, and well, the T day sale, I wouldn't have..

    • wombat81 on 13/09/2021 - 09:43

      Don't know what you're talking about. The ear speaker is the thin slot directly above the front camera. It literally points straight at your ear. The loud speaker is on the bottom of the phone.

        Ok cool thanks, I see what you are saying.. after looking at gadgetguideonline.com, i now know the 2 holes at the top are microphone holes..

      • bozbargain on 13/09/2021 - 07:37

        It’s funny, before I moved to Australia, the last time I had signed up to a new phone plan in person was in the ‘90s. It was already common in many European countries to sign up online in the year 2000 (some of the most successful online businesses from that era specialised in this, offering all plans from all carriers) yet here we are 20 years later, in the middle of a pandemic, and carriers want you to do this in person, wasting people’s time?

        • Kontiki on 14/09/2021 - 19:55

          I think it's just the brick-and-mortar retailers like JB. There is nothing stopping you from signing up to a Telstra plan with phone on their website.

          As for paperwork burocracy, whenever I need to renew my European passport, I need to fly to the froggin' consulate 1500km away to do so in person. As a matter of fact, even if I need to change the password of my Dutch MyGov variant, I need to do that :(

          • bozbargain on 14/09/2021 - 20:22

            @Kontiki: Since you mention The Netherlands, it’s the perfect example of where you can find many online shops that allow you to compare and sign up to a variety of plans from every single telco. Just like JB Hifi, they get a commission per post paid plan sold, so they either give you real cashback (and not a silly JB voucher) or a discount on a new phone.

      Do you need an active Optus plan to get 25% discount for the second number?

      • Jayblesz on 12/09/2021 - 23:36

        I don't think so. My first service was a lower value plan and I also was offered a 25% discount on that one. Just go on chat and say you are keen to go on optus but there are cheaper alternatives and if they have a discount, and don't accept the first one they offer you.

    • wombat81 on 13/09/2021 - 09:47

    just bear in mind now JB Hifi made it so you have to pay the gift card value back so in this case $1050 (they treat the giftcard value as 1050 even though you dont get an actual physical gift card)

    when you cancel or sometimes its $500 gift card value + etc.

    its no longer just ETC

    The Ts & Cs is here: https://www.telstra.com.au/content/dam/tcom/personal/consume… (last changed on 17 August 2021)

    The maximum ETC is as of below (on page 20 of the above PDF):

    JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys BYO Mobile Plans
    $49 Plan (12 months) $294
    $69 Plan (12 months) $414
    $99 Plan (12 months) $594
    $69 Plan (24 months) $828
    $99 Plan (24 months) $1188

    The document also mentions a "Voucher Reimbursement Cancellation Fee" on the same page (emphasis mine):

    If you received a voucher and you cancel, recontract, move to an ineligible plan or change your minimum monthly spend of your JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys BYO Mobile Plan during the minimum term, you will also be charged a Voucher Reimbursement Cancellation Fee.
