5% gift cards.. where are you during the 15% off promotions?
the vodafone deal is infinitely better (despite having to deal with vodafone lol)
$1000 off new phone, $69 per month, 24 months, 150GB p/month
This doesn't seem to be a good deal.
I'm quite sure you can get a good plan or a prepaid deal for, let's say, $30/month (I bet you can get cheaper).
Let's say a new iphone is $1300 at any store (doesn't matter really). Plus 24 months times $30, that's 1300 + 720 = $2020 spent altogether.
This deal is: $1300-$450 + 24×$65 = $2410 spent altogether over 2 years, or $1300-$650 + 24×$85 = $2690 (even worse).
Agree! Simple maths reveals these types of deals are invariably garbage.
vodafone offered $1000 off before Xmas 65/m for 24 months. If I remember correctly.
Telstra similarly
Bonus $1000 Gift Card When Port-in to Telstra $99/Mo 24-Month 200GB 5G Plan (Min Cost $2376) @ JB Hi-Fi Instore
Vodafone were also doing similar promotion. But it was 1000 off new iPhone with $69 plan over 24 months. Much better in comparison in my opinion.
Need to visit apple store.

Vodafone is not good outside the cities. I live 400km north from Adelaide. Vodafone is a waste of time here.
Optus is a waste of time
Optus is ok here.
@Thrifty Dan: If you want your SIMjacked

@bargain_finder: So that’s one of how many million customers?! Can happen with Vodafone or Telstra, too.
@Thrifty Dan: It's their process (of replacing your sim with an eSIM without sufficient verification) that is wrong - I haven't heard of any other Telco having this issue
What’s the cheapest offer to re-contract/continue with Optus with an iPhone Pro 13?
I watch a lot of Optus Sport and I’m happy with the Optus reception where I am so, I’d prefer to stay with Optus.
I’m currently on an old $49 plan with 80gb of data (which is plenty of data for me) so I don’t mind staying on the same plan.
The $65 plan offer works out ever so slightly better over 24 months than buying the phone outright and continuing on my existing plan, but that’s assuming I pay full price for the phone.
Are there any other options I should look at?
Everything Apple is overhyped and way overpriced.
Or worth the extra money, depending on your perspective.
Waiting for iPhone 14 Pro Max
Waiting for the Hologram Edition
I’m a iPhone pro max user
I don’t agree in paying more than 100 a month combined phone plan. Just my opinion. Any more is a waste of money.
I need the Telstra/ boost network for my work.
I port between boost and Telstra each month. I use the Woolies/coles prepaid deals 15 dollars for Telstra and 10 for boost. Works out 98 dollars a months over 24 months.
Waiting for the 14 pro max, and 10-15 % coles /Woolies flybys/rewards discount could make it cheaper
If I didn’t need Telstra/boost for work I would be using the 5 dollar prepaid deals Optus/voda/Woolies/kogan and others have on here every now and then
Cash backs don’t work for me due to having to stay activated after the 30 days.
Correction cashbacks work with the woollies mobile cards you only have to stay active for 30 days
Vodafone you have to stay active for 60 days
Shows Optus again the most stingy one out of the the big three…
I just don't understand why telco are not going back to the subsidize model because that is exactly what they are doing now….
For example the Vodafone apple store deal equals $119 an iPhone 13 pro 512g on that $69 plan and sensible user would expect that price for this phone / plan combo over 24 months.
These look tempting but, cheaper when you buy phone outright(5% gift cards) $2050 and use yearly telstra/boost sim plans $240 yearly
