    Unlike most Telstra deals there is no direct outright purchase option, but may be able to go on plan and cancel, though it does reduce the savings…

    • ce5himm on 20/10/2021 - 08:56

      Come on there is no reason for T just give you $200 off for nothing, it's not even released yet.

      • steve.rand on 20/10/2021 - 09:46

        Well they're not, from what i'm reading. You pay for it but they give you $200 worth of "points".

      can some legend ozbargainer find out the ETC and report back..thanks (from lazy fellow ozbargainer)..

      • mattman on 20/10/2021 - 10:32

        Not gonna bother calling as tbh it just eats at the discount too much. The note about device discounts not applying to payouts is a little concerning.

  • Blorgglorg on 20/10/2021 - 08:59

    does telstra issued devices have bloatware?

      Like on the Sony Ericssons or the one.tel phones? Yeah, I hate that, that's why I got my blackberry, no bloatware and it has fast GPRS!!

    • universe on 20/10/2021 - 09:20

      not the pixel line at-least.

    • vj-sharpeyes on 20/10/2021 - 10:17

      I purchased a Telstra-issued Pixel from JB once.
      The device was unlocked and Telstra bloat only appeared after I put a Telstra SIM into it.
      Being a 'pure' android phone though, I could just uninstall the app.

    • NickimusRex on 20/10/2021 - 12:30

      Typically the only bloatware they tend to have is maybe a boot screen. On prepaids they tend to have their own stuff loaded onto it if they're network locked, but none of the postpaid hardware is ever network locked these days.

    • dasher86 on 20/10/2021 - 09:13

      hmm.. seems risky but might be worth it.

      Comes to $799-(100-65) = $764 assuming you cancel in the first month.

      Probably a credit check too.

      • [Deactivated] on 20/10/2021 - 09:17

        Not worth the risk for extra $136 I reckon

        Was hoping for some amazing deal they wrote about

      • expatOz on 20/10/2021 - 09:35

        Whats the risk?

      • expatOz on 20/10/2021 - 11:15

        Would it still require a credit check if you already have a Telstra account and existing service?

        Edit: yes does require a credit check.

      • cha059 on 20/10/2021 - 15:29

        That's cheap at $764, anyone tried this?

        Even at $854 for phone plus minimum $55 plan is not bad but not the best.

        I'm thinking of doing, cancelling the plan, then go back to using my Boost prepaid.

        Cheers.

        • dasher86 on 20/10/2021 - 15:30

          needs to be a medium min plan

          • cha059 on 20/10/2021 - 15:32

            @dasher86: Yes thanks I meant if I didn't want to risk not getting the $100 gift voucher!

      • kalakaar on 20/10/2021 - 17:14

        I think there is $55 cash back from shopback

    • Arcticviper on 26/10/2021 - 17:18

      Just got this to work with my pre-order/plan move.

  • [Deactivated] on 20/10/2021 - 09:15
    +5

    So $799 then $55/month for 12months is the cheapest in this deal.

    Better off just get it off Google directly and get $160/year Woolies plan

    • yellowfever on 20/10/2021 - 09:28
      +8

      also the Telstra $55/month plan only provides 4G access. A bit cheeky from Telstra giving this is a plan, not pre-paid.

    • cerealsmok3r on 20/10/2021 - 10:05

      How much etc is you cancel early?

  • BrownAndBeige on 20/10/2021 - 09:28
    +2

    Just confirmed with a Telstra rep on live chat that the phone isn't locked to Telstra, can be added to an existing service and that the MRO can be paid out at any time. Basically if you have a friend or family member already with Telstra they can order the phone for you on their account and pay out the MRO immediately effectively buying it outright at a $200 discount.

    • Bowchkawowow on 20/10/2021 - 09:32

      so you can cancel the plan after 1 month?

    • UnrealMacaw on 20/10/2021 - 09:52

      So if you already have a plan this seems like $200 off for nothing, whether you pay it off in 1 month or 36 months (although you might need to pay it off before porting out for your next jbhifi port in)

      6 Pro is $200 off too

      • BrownAndBeige on 20/10/2021 - 09:57

        As far as I can tell. Very convenient if you're like me and not on Telstra but have a missus who is.

    • expatOz on 20/10/2021 - 10:50

      So just buy with a plan and cancel through the chat to pay the outstanding balance of the phone?

      • UnrealMacaw on 20/10/2021 - 14:40

        Or go get a plan from jbhifi, then get this phone..

        • expatOz on 20/10/2021 - 15:12

          I want just the phone, not the plan from Telstra or JB.

          Buying from Telstra is the cheapest right now at $764 (requires a credit check though).

    I am waiting for a GOOD JB-HiFi + Telstra Deal with 500 Gift Card.

    • kulprit on 20/10/2021 - 09:38

      I think it will end up more expensive than buying with the $150 credit and getting a cheaper plan.

      Depends on your data requirements and if you want 5g though.

      • djmm on 20/10/2021 - 09:45
        -3

        JB Telstra plan also has 5G right?

        • BrownAndBeige on 20/10/2021 - 09:59
          +3

          The $55/month "Small" plan is 4G, the rest of the more expensive plans are 5G.

    • mattman on 20/10/2021 - 10:07
      +1

      So basically this?

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/658145

      Equates to $500 off phone, same as a $500GC if P6 is what you want. Plus I assume the nest audio bonus still

    • vj-sharpeyes on 20/10/2021 - 10:18

      I think this phone will be too cheap for that kind of deal anytime soon. Maybe around the new year? Or a month or so before a 6a is released?

  • oampes on 20/10/2021 - 09:37

    I struggle to understand the 'deal' aspect of Telstra coveringt the 70k points. Marketing hack.
    Basically get $200 off in lieu of a bonus gift with others, and you're committing to a rack Telstra phone plan

    • Agret on 20/10/2021 - 10:19

      The phone plan is month to month so you can cancel at any time (even after first month) and just pay out the device cost.

  • andyarlo on 20/10/2021 - 09:44

    You really need this replacement cover - Google's hardware support sucks.

  • Charbel91 on 20/10/2021 - 11:15

    I added the pro to my BYO Sim plan. Does that mean I'll still be able to get the bonus points?

  • EmployeeJaxDefected @ Telstra on 20/10/2021 - 11:23

    Quick note regarding the post title - you do not need to be a Telstra Plus member to receive this deal.

    • AshB on 20/10/2021 - 12:49

      Do you know whether i can return the phone and get a refund if i don't like it..?

  • doxy on 20/10/2021 - 11:51

    Do you get the Nest Audio mini with Telstra as well? Unsure if the whole Nest thing is from Google or from individual vendors.

    • NickimusRex on 20/10/2021 - 12:36

      I believe that is a JB-HIFI deal, this one makes no mention of a Nest, nor does the straight Google.com preorders

  • Charbel91 on 20/10/2021 - 16:03

    The 70,000 points bit has seemed to disappear off the site. Did anyone manage to take a screen shot?

    • Arcticviper on 21/10/2021 - 11:08

      I think people got confused and they decided to remove it. they put in 70,000 points instead of saying $200 off.

      • Charbel91 on 21/10/2021 - 19:06

        Thank you! I felt so confused.

  • higherdestiny on 20/10/2021 - 16:45

    Just placed an order for Pixel 6 + Medium plan as per the BlackHawk Network $100 gift card offer. Will cancel the month to month plan the second I receive the phone. Let's see if it works???

    • cha059 on 21/10/2021 - 10:14

      Good luck mate!

  • puzzles2 on 21/10/2021 - 17:47

    Just got off a chat with a Telstra rep, they said you can cancel the plan and you'll only have to pay for the first month. I'm going to get the 256gb 6 Pro with the $65 a month plan so it should come up to $1314. Hopefully I can get the $100 gift card too. I reckon this is the best option for someone like me who doesn't want a plan or any store credit or a free nest home.

    • gordonderp on 22/10/2021 - 11:48

      Hey I'm probably gonna go through with this too, I'm assuming the payment plan (for the phone) doesn't really matter?

      Also wondering what you were talking about with the $100 gift card.

      • puzzles2 on 22/10/2021 - 20:22
        +1

        I don't think so regarding the payment plan. They told me as soon as the plan activates when I get the phone I can cancel it.

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/657781. This is what I'm talking about regarding the $100 gift card. If you sign up for the $65 or higher a month plan there's an offer for a $100 gift card. I'm not sure if I'll get it but for what is going to be $10 difference between the $55 and $65 a month plan I'll try my luck.

        • gordonderp on 23/10/2021 - 09:57

          Oh sweet, I'm gonna go for it too. Hope for the both of us it works out lol.

          • puzzles2 on 24/10/2021 - 10:50

            @17cjono: I did get that plan in the end, will be cancelling regardless but like you said extra 100gbs I guess

        • Dannnnny on 24/10/2021 - 15:50

          FYI the Large plan is the same price @ $65pm for 12months for 180GB.Can cancel after a month if needed

    • ScruffTheJanitor on 30/10/2021 - 10:16

      Have you been able to cancel yet? I'm being told now that if you cancel early you don't get the discount and have to pay out the full amount

      • puzzles2 on 30/10/2021 - 12:48

        Nup, my Pro 256GB has been delayed due to stock issues. I have saved my chat with the rep saying that I will just pay the discounted price + first month of plan.

        • ScruffTheJanitor on 30/10/2021 - 15:44

          Mind chucking that up on imugr or something? As long as there's no personal details.

          Have spend the last 5 hours in the chat telling them they told me that and they are refusing to honour it

  • cha059 on 23/10/2021 - 21:06

    This 70000 points would be alright if there were colesworth gift cards in the store
    What are you planning to do with the points if you get this deal?
    Was thinking of getting something then trying to sell it but dunno what to get

    • universe on 24/10/2021 - 08:37

      What points? It is $200 off the phone. They don't give you 70k points as well.

      • cha059 on 24/10/2021 - 10:24

        From the original post:

        Sounds like Telstra will fund $200 worth of Telstra Plus Points (70,000 points), if you pre-order a Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro!

        Pre-order offer details
        Just pay the monthly dollar cost, we'll cover the points cost for you!

        I'm confused then on this offer… If it's $200 off + one month contract I'm in for sure

        But if it's points in unlikely

        • universe on 24/10/2021 - 11:19

          Yeah I just bought the deal. They give you 70K points for free which you then instantly redeem to get a $200 discount on the phone cost over the 12 months. So my repayments on the phone drop to $66.58/m ($798.96), instead of $82.25/m ($999)

          So I guess if you cancelled after the first month it is a $135 discount on the phone.

            @universe: Awesome thanks very much

            I just chatted with an online agent and they confirmed it was $864 if cancel in the first month

            Sounds like a decent deal to me if you get the gift card $100 off so $764 for a pixel phone is pretty good.

            Gonna cancel and continue to use my prepaid after :)

    Mines coming today, not sure if I should wait a few days after getting the voucher before cancelling.

    • Plava on 28/10/2021 - 17:29

      I have received my phone today. Yet to receive the voucher, was told it would receive via text within about 7 days.

      I did note though, in the Telstra app it shows the cost of cancelling as the full RRP less one month of device repayments. Anyone else's discount not showing up?

      • cha059 on 28/10/2021 - 17:37

        Under device repayments, I've got $765.67. I believe that's $799 minus first month paid in advance at time of signing contract.

        • Plava on 28/10/2021 - 17:47

          Thank you. Seems as though I need to take this up with Telstra then.

          • ScruffTheJanitor on 30/10/2021 - 15:46

            @Plava: I've got the same. 6 Pro shows full device cost.

            They are also refusing to honour the discount as advertised. Being told if you cancel you pay the full RRP.

              @ScruffTheJanitor: Disappointing to hear. I went in store today and the bloke reckons once my bill is issued (I am already a Telstra customer so billing gets aligned on existing cycle) then the discount will show. Hopefully this is the case but less confident after hearing your experience there.

              • ScruffTheJanitor on 31/10/2021 - 11:19

                @Plava: Spent about 3 hours in chat to one guy who straight up refused to budge saying the $200 discount is split up over 12 months. If you cancel now, you lose the discount.

                Then the next guy said the discount should appear on your bill in 1-2 billing cycles.

                So I dunno anymore. Guess wait and see what the bill says.

                • gdbaker81 on 02/11/2021 - 20:34

                  @ScruffTheJanitor: Hi, im still awaiting my phone due to stock issues, even though i did pre launch order. But ive notice this on the telstra page.

                  Device Payment Contract:
                  You must have an eligible Telstra Mobile Plan in order to have a Device Payment Contract. If you cancel your Device Payment Contract early, cancel your mobile plan during the device payment term or move to an ineligible mobile plan during the payment term, you’ll need to pay out your device, in full. Device discounts do not apply to cancelled Device Payment Contracts.

                  Now wondering whether its worth waiting and seeing if im stuck on an expensive plan for 12 months or just cancel and hopefully a different reduced price is on offer.

                  • aveeno bb on 02/11/2021 - 22:12

                    @gdbaker81: I ordered my P6P 128GB through pre-order. My device payment is showing the correct discounted amount.

      • aveeno bb on 08/11/2021 - 18:37

        Did you cancel the plan with Telstra already? I was holding off to make sure I get the voucher first. Planning to cancel before the 2nd month starting.

  • maxedin on 12/11/2021 - 13:30

    Got gift voucher after chasing customer support.
    Applied voucher credit to Amazon.
    Payed out phone cost and cancelled plan, no problem.
    So effective cost of phone is $765, sweet.
