Spotted this via JB’s main homepage. In store only or request a call back.

Perfect timing to switch your mobile broadband data to Telstra, JB you’ve done it again!

Minimum cost only $1656 over 24 months, noting that the Apple iPad Pro 11-inch 128GB Wi-Fi + Cellular costs $1449. Essentially your mobile broadband data over 24 months is only $207 ($8.63/month)

SKU on the image shows 519666, which is the Space Grey colour

Did a quick search and saw the similar deal for 12 months instead was posted around a year ago from doweyy. Not as great as $28 for the whole year but it’s a good deal considering the current situation with …..

Happy porting!

Offer has been extended for an additional day

    It’s just that there are plenty of ways to save on an iPad, not mention a new model is probably on the way soon.

    If this offer can be used along with the latest (upcoming) model, that would be great value.

      Can you name some?
      I am looking for a data plan with around 500GB each month.
      Thanks.

      • xmagic on 28/09/2022 - 08:22

        I meant there are plenty of ways to save on the iPad itself. Offers, education/EPP discounts, gift cards discounts, etc.

        TBH 500GB/mth data plan? What are you using it for? Can you use Fixed Wireless NBN instead?

        Otherwise, It seems 400GB/mth data-only plan from Telstra is $85. Or compromise with Vodafone, which is $60 unlimited.

        If you find the offer in this post tempting, consider buy it, unlock the tablet (if there's a network lock in the first place), then sell the tablet. It should be still equals ~$15/mth. Of course remember you're still paying $69 on the bill.

        • tryingtohelp on 28/09/2022 - 10:49

          You won’t find people willing to buy even a brand new iPad for that value from the marketplace

        • Averell on 28/09/2022 - 18:11

          Thanks.
          I'm using Vodafone ATM, paying $60 unlimited, have nothing to complain except feeling paying too much compared to the deal from OP

          • xmagic on 28/09/2022 - 18:48

            @Averell: But you're paying the same rate indefinitely, which is predictable. Such deal only lasts 2 years and you'll need to get rid of the iPad somehow to make it worth.

            Whichever suits you the best, mate.

            • Averell on 28/09/2022 - 19:43

              @xmagic: ah, just that I'm in need of a tablet :) after two years I can just switch back to a normal plan

        Not sure if it's still available but I switched to Optus Month to Month 500g for $65 a month (For the first 12 months). I work away during the week so it helps being able to hotspot and not have a second internet bill. I came from Telstra and it's been great, I don't notice any difference in Service besides actually getting a couple of extra bars in my office where I usually had 0-1 bars with Telstra.

        • Averell on 28/09/2022 - 23:05

          Is Belong similar to Boost or Woolworths/Aldi?
          I have a Woolworths SIM, much worse than a Boost one

          • larry0426 on 29/09/2022 - 12:05

            @Averell: Belong's signal is quite similar to the Telstra. It provides the highest speed. It also has the data bank function that allows you save the unused data into next month.

            • 0jay on 29/09/2022 - 12:41

        It won't work (at least) in Sydney CBD stores, I tried 4 stores and all the managers did check before approving the return. I got the Galaxy Z Flip 4 from previous $99 deals. They know that the gift card was from Telstra deal so they don't accept any return or exchange. You must be lucky to find JB manager who don't check your receipt, so I wouldn't count on it.

                @BurnSomeCashs: So its a while ago, that's why maybe its different now. I even try my luck again today with different stores, I asked for exchange to a different colour. They agreed but they put a comment in my new receipt in all capital. "DO NOT EXCHANGE OR REFUND PHONE IS PART OF TELCO DEAL PREVIOUS RECEIPT NUMBER #########".

                Now I'm gonna need to sell my Galaxy Flip 4, hopefully I don't lose too much. I also tried to get $20 off from Telstra chat, but no luck after 10+ tries. I'd say no more loopholes of JB and Telstra plan, it was good while it lasted. I guess I'm not buying JB+Telstra plan again.

    Just fyi, the m1 ipad pro has been out for a while now. We're expecting an m2 one any day now.

    Of course, it doesn't make this device a bad one but I'd be pretty upset if I bought this and then a few days later it was superseded.

      • entropysbane on 28/09/2022 - 06:45

        True, not far off two years without a refresh. And ironically, still the most powerful tablet in the market

        It could do so much more if not constrained by iPadOS.

    • liongalahad on 29/09/2022 - 01:08

      There precisely zero reasons to wanting an M2 over an M1 on an iPad. M1 is already hyper-over spec'd for what it can do. If we could install Mac Os then, maybe (and even then, M1 would be still more than enough) but Apple deliberately chooses not to let its users to do so.

  • Ntang91 on 28/09/2022 - 04:40

    So hypothetically I'm already with Telstra but if I went out and bought a cheap sim from a non Telstra carrier and ported that over am I still eligible?

      It’s a mobile broadband plan, you can just sign up for a new number.

        Depends on how they provision your service, there might not be a number at all.

        And I would rather my data-only plan not comes with a number so no robocall or scam text.

  • adrianhughes1998 on 28/09/2022 - 06:21

        Seems like there's hoops to jump thru when it's 5g. Hopefully there's a cheaper option for 4g

        • Fancydancer on 28/09/2022 - 08:11

          Not sure what you mean, how is 5g different for this?

            +1

            @Fancydancer: 5G is faster for sure. I'd say carriers probably want fixed wireless options to be 5G as the network capacity is bigger thus cheaper to maintain the same number of users. Of course they'll sell you for more money than 4G just for the sake of the name.

            IIRC mobile plans are not to be used as a home broadband as it breaks TOS especially for the unlimited plans but I don't think they'll care.

              +1

              @xmagic: I called Telstra about this once, they did say they are able to tell if a sim is being used in a mobile device or a tablet/cellular modem. They indicated that for a mobile phone plan, they will block your access once they detected that it is being used in a cellular modem (e.g. used as home internet).

              That said, I believe this deal is not a mobile phone plan but a data plan which means it can be used in tablets and cellular modems so it should not run into this problem.

              If you look closely at the TOS of mobile phone plans and these data plans, the mobile phone plans does specify (I think in the 'fair use policy' section) it cannot be used to replace home internet (I don't remember how they worded this), and this doesn't exist in the TOS for data plans like this one.

    • lifeoz on 28/09/2022 - 12:11

      I did exactly same thing last year.
      I usually use internet less than 200Gb a month. So I bought this deal and cancelled my broadband.

      My usual broadband was 50/20 for 500Gb, my 5g internet was more than 200/20. 5g download was way faster than my nbn.

      If you need less than 300Gb, just jump in this deal.

      • adrianhughes1998 on 28/09/2022 - 13:18

        • YeboMate on 28/09/2022 - 16:11

          Buy a second hand one on marketplace or Gumtree? That's what I did, but I am yet to jump on a deal… I'm contemplating with this deal… just not sure if the speeds are sufficient and stable enough since I don't have 5G in my area.

      • excite on 28/09/2022 - 15:11

        • [Deactivated] on 29/09/2022 - 22:49

          Mine is about the same 200/20, although sometimes it slows down bad. Quite some distance away from tower, signal strength on modem is around 2/5.

          Make sure you are using 5G modem.

      Hopefully future updates will make these M1 iPads more powerful… it's not much but we have already seen 1 feature on iPadOS that's exclusive to M1 models which is Stage Manager.

      Some people (like me) prefer a proper WWAN-connected device. A tablet, the laptop itself, etc. Hotspot is flakey and slow.

      I mean if this offer applies to the upcoming iPad Pro then this is definitely worth it. It's 300G/mth for around $10 actual + essentially interest-free installment of the device.

      Both statements are completely untrue - I tether from my phone regularly for work, and the experience is absolutely fine. It's just as stable as the phone's internet connection .

        Not really. I just want the tablet, but use the simcard for phone instead.

        • xmagic on 28/09/2022 - 14:32

            @xmagic: I wonder if you could use it in a dual-sim phone, one card = data plan and the other card (eSim) = cheap option with just the number?

            • xmagic on 28/09/2022 - 16:47

              @YeboMate: You can do that. I'm pretty sure Telstra can convert physical SIM to eSIM. At least on iPhone allows you to use a specific card for call/text and another for data. Then you can use Data on data-only sim and phone on another cheaper plans (365 day prepaid plans?)

              • YeboMate on 28/09/2022 - 16:48

                @xmagic: Possibly… I've never owned a dual-sim phone so I don't know if it's possible to set priority for data consumption. If possible, that would be a neat setup 😊

                • VXCT on 28/09/2022 - 20:20

                  @YeboMate: Not sure about iPhone if that is what you are after.. On Xiaomi dual sim phone it is a super easy function where the system gives you the choice to dedicate one SIM for data and the other SIM for call/message.

    Can you buy this and insert the sim into NBN router I have got ? I have got Telstra Smart modem Gen 2

    If I buy 2 plans will the data allowance combine?

    • Poppin on 29/09/2022 - 14:42

      It will not. The JB Telstra plans are on their old system and have data sharing disabled.

    Is this worth it?
