This is a variation of what is normally available.
Have just been sent a flyer showing this deal for this weekend only.

$99 a month
150gb of data with no excess data charges (capped speeds)
5g availability
12 month contract (not the 24 they are doing now)
$30 monthly credit. (Assuming for first 12 months)
$500 gift card. (No expiry)

Effectively $69 a month
Minimum total cost over 12 months is $828

$828-500=328
$328/12 = $27 a month

It's no $59 a month with $500 giftcard but you get 70gb extra.

    so $99 with $30 credit… so $69 per month?

    • ce5himm on 29/10/2021 - 23:53

      same question, 69x12 is a good deal.
      59 x 12 is like once a year, who knows

    • ChatCPT on 30/10/2021 - 15:07

      Same. For those of us on $150/year plan. These are just crazy

    • soundsdifferent on 31/10/2021 - 08:44

      It’s makes complete sense for certain people. If you are like me and able to claim 95% of your phone cost on tax and you were going to spend that gift card amount anyway (for example I’m going to buy the new iPhone) so that cost difference is $328. I get to write off around $800 in at my relevant tax rate. And the $500 I use in the gift card to buy the phone that is also able to be written down on tax. So for my personal circumstance I’ve done the maths and these type of plans always work out cheaper than the $150 365 day plans..

      Oh plus I’ll get 5G

  • txb on 30/10/2021 - 00:05

    I'm on a grandfathered BYO sim plan with recurring credits (drastically dropping the monthly fee to peanuts per month) Id naturally love to keep this plan for life but. Has anyone ever successfully been able to transfer their ongoing credits from one plan to another?

      So how cheap are these peanuts? I’m keen to know.

    • Figure8 on 30/10/2021 - 01:19

      I personally have no experience in this, but a friend use to work for Optus and they actively attempt to stop you from retaining old plans as typically the plans are great value. Can only assume it's the same for other major telcos.
      If you have one of those old caps like the $99 that have a minimum of like $10 but a ton of free minutes and 500 texts I would suggest keeping it, the only reason to swap out is when you need 5g or something else your not entitled to is required but even then…

    • COVID-19 on 30/10/2021 - 07:55

      so was I, until I was given a months notice to find another plan from another carrier or, I will be moved to another plan on Telstra which was from memory about $15 per month more.

        It was previously 31 or 35 days but they've probably changed it by now to the 90 stated above.

        I've succesfully got the deal with a new number. No port in required. Got them to add the number to my existing account. Got home and asked telstra to deactive new number and move old numver over and cancel old plan. Done. Took about 10m on the phone with support.

          How recently did you do this? I did this twice just over a year ago. The first one went through no issues. The 2nd one I had a very stressful couple of hours where the Telstra person screwed everything up nearly losing a number held for 14+ years, before eventually getting it right.

          I'm not sure I can go through the stress again.

        • aboudelh on 30/10/2021 - 18:12

          Just confirming, I did this today and it worked. Got the deal with the gift card from JB, and when the new number showed up on my account I messaged Telstra with the in app messaging thing. They were pretty specific that it would be a 'SIM replacement and not moving or changing the JB plan', where I disconnect my original number so it can be linked to the new JB plan.
          And it worked, I now have a nice new plan with my original number and a 1k gift card.
          It took a little while just because the messaging is a little slow on weekends.

          • philldo on 01/11/2021 - 12:01

            @aboudelh: how long was it between cancelling and moving your original number back to the new line?
            I was told I have to wait 24-48 hours for the number flip - but that doesn't seem right, I might call back in an hour or two.

              @philldo: Initially the guy said it could take a day, but it ended up taking a couple minutes. We were about to end the convo when he said it was done so we moved onto the transfer there and then. And I noticed it happen, so if you're original number looses signal then it's done.

      Did they have stock?

    • Mickp10 on 30/10/2021 - 08:31

      This is where I see the value is. Where you need /want a new phone. From my calculation, it would work out to be a $27 per month (pm) plan if you took the $500 off a new phone. This makes it over 12mths $24 more than a $300 200gb Boost plan recharge, and you get 5g.

      My calculations:
      $90 (pm plan)
      - $30 (pm credit)
      sub total $60 pm
      - $41.65 (voucher divided by 12)
      Total: $27 pm /$324 pa

      The above only works, if the voucher is unable to be obtained another way (eg getting one buying the phone). And, that you want 5g, the additional data (e.g you could buy a $200/$16 pm Boost 100gb 12mth expiry plan).

      For me, it was tempting if we were using the 200gb of data. As, my wife needs a new phone (looking Pixel or Samsung), and Boost plan expires in 21 days…..but has only used about 30gb of $300 Boost plan data over 12mths.

      • educalifa on 30/10/2021 - 09:02

        That's some good math… and I'm in the exactly same situation with the wife. To be honest, I could use a new phone too but hers has been dropped a few too many times and starting to look and sound like Sloth from the Goonies.

        • Mickp10 on 30/10/2021 - 09:08

          Corrections made, to calculate using the $99/not $90 plan.. sorry.

          This is where I see the value is. Where you need /want a new phone. From my calculation, it would work out to be a $27.35 per month (pm) plan if you took the $500 off a new phone. This makes it over 12mths $28.20 more than a $300 200gb Boost plan recharge, and you get 5g.

          My calculations:
          $99 (pm plan)
          - $30 (pm credit)
          sub total $69 pm
          - $41.65 (voucher divided by 12)
          Total: $27.35 pm /$328.20 pa

          The above only works, if the voucher is unable to be obtained another way (eg getting one buying the phone). And, that you want 5g, the additional data (e.g you could buy a $200/$16 pm Boost 100gb 12mth expiry plan).

        • niknikniknik on 30/10/2021 - 10:35

          Boost speeds are throttled as it isn't a tier 1 service. The speeds you get on boost are not reflective of what the Telstra network is capable of.

      What do you mean, can't be tied up with telstra rewards. I get points all the same.
