Email from JB-HiFi today telling me I can get a $700 JB-HiFi gift card when I switch to Telstra on a $69 plan for [EDIT ] 24 months…. This is probably the deal that everyone was holding out for. 100gb of data a month is plenty so get on it!

Unlucky for me just got onto a 365 day boost pre-paid plan so hopefully a few of you can take advantage. Ends 8th Feb.

Usual T&C's apply.

Note - the email earlier today said 12 months as I was showing people at work. They must have updated the image in the URL to be 24 months. Sorry for the hype.

    You did ok on boost, 5g(not trial) from 4/4, only reason I havn't jumped on a jb deal, contract saving for me & other features outweigh their giftcards and only 12m commitment at worst

    Looks like the Good guys deal is rhe best for the s23 at the moment then.

    • BargainsGrabber on 02/02/2023 - 19:24
      +2

      I would say Harvey Norman Optus deal is the best value if you have gone past the FlOptus fear

      You can get an outright S23 for $828-$897

      • Spendmore on 02/02/2023 - 19:52

        They are all within the ballpark figure but HN is 24 months and do prefer telstra if paying the same.

        • BargainsGrabber on 02/02/2023 - 20:06
          +1

          You can break the contract and only pay the ETC and you can hop onto a cheaper plan like Boost Mobile

          You still get to keep the phone and not pay anything more

          • shegeloaf on 02/02/2023 - 23:05

            @BargainsGrabber: What? Tell me more about this.
            Is this deal for The Good Guys? How much is the etc?

            • BargainsGrabber on 02/02/2023 - 23:13

              @shegeloaf: Have a read on the details and the comments from this deal posted today

              If terminating the plan immediately, your Samsung Galaxy S23 essentially costs (($69 x 24)/2) + $69 (prorated) = $828-$897

              • shegeloaf on 02/02/2023 - 23:16

                @BargainsGrabber: Thanks. I will have a look now. I hope i can sign up online as I am overseas at the moment.

        How does the Harvey deal work?

          +1

          Go in store, choose one of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Optus offers, phone Optus to cancel the plan immediately (you only pay the ETC, which is half of your total plan cost), wait 2 weeks for your pre order, wait one month for your phone bill on that cancellation

          • shegeloaf on 02/02/2023 - 23:06

            @BargainsGrabber: Cool. So can I sign up online at harvwy norman and still do the cancellation online and pay the etc?

            • BargainsGrabber on 02/02/2023 - 23:12

              @shegeloaf: Deal is in store only

              • shegeloaf on 02/02/2023 - 23:13

                @BargainsGrabber: So what is the deal?
                You get a free phone for being on the optus plan?

    If you are currently with Telstra but not in a current contract.
    What's the easiest way to get this deal?

    • Koppeldread on 02/02/2023 - 19:35

      I am in the exact same position. I really can't afford not to have Telstra coverage but desperately want to port in. Can I just buy a prepaid SIM card for $20, port my number to optus/Vodafone and then port back in to Telstra? Has anyone tried this?

      • ActualActurary on 02/02/2023 - 19:48

        In another thread, someone said to sign up as a new customer (or additional plan on existing account that should count, i would ask). Port your original number into a prepaid, and then cancel original telstra plan and ask Telstra to port in the new number from the prepaid. Can anyone confirm?

        • SamwiseM on 02/02/2023 - 20:06

          You can port to another provider (not a Telstra wholesale provider) and port back… but you need to be off the Telstra network for 30 days. I've done this about 4 or 5 times. You used to be able to port away and port back without having to wait 30 days but they are enforcing the 30 day wait now.

          • Ozymandias on 02/02/2023 - 21:11

            @SamwiseM: Given this is port-ins only, could you activate a prepaid SIM with another provider, port that number across, and then get your old Telstra number transferred across?

          • wellzi on 03/02/2023 - 08:45

            @SamwiseM: if they are enforcing the 30 days, an option could be to go and get a Coles $2 SIM and activate that (last time I did this, I didn't have to recharge to activate the service unlike some other providers) and then use that SIM to port in to this deal. Then, with your current number, switch that to a Telstra pre-paid before jumping onto live chat and asking that your pre-paid number be merged with the new plan and the old number to be cancelled. A bit of a headf*** but doable!

            • RR88 on 03/02/2023 - 10:18

              @wellzi: can i do the prepaid merge in a telstra store?

              • wellzi on 03/02/2023 - 10:23

                @RR88: I have never personally merged two numbers with Telstra and so I am unsure. I don't see why not, as they do have the required Siebel access in order to do such a thing, it's just whether they're willing/knowledgeable to do so as it's quite a unique request.

                • RR88 on 03/02/2023 - 10:26

                  @wellzi: i am just wondering if i could grenade my day on sunday obtaining this deal.. might give it a shove

          • Ladideeda on 04/02/2023 - 17:32

            @SamwiseM: Is there the same issues with porting in and out of Telstra? Is there a 30 day wait to port out if I've only just ported in?

        • lemonty on 02/02/2023 - 21:50
          +2

          I did exactly this about a week ago. I was on an out of contract plan with Telstra, I ported my current number to a Vodafone prepaid for about 2 days, then signed back up with Telstra on the JB HiFi $69 plan for 12 months with the $400 gift card. I then reduced the $69 to $49 per month through an online chat with Telstra mentioning a port in credit which they surprisingly applied.

  • Shikha966 on 02/02/2023 - 19:37

    I only see 24 month plan.

  • Wiadro on 02/02/2023 - 19:46

      Do you sign up with JBHIFI first and then go to Telstra chat for credit??

  • congo on 02/02/2023 - 19:57

    Remember to cancel once your plan expires, or you keep paying for the high rate unnecessary. My partner did this for a few months :-(
    Also JB signs you up to $15-$20 per month screen insurance thing. Remember to cancel that after the first (free) month.

    Is this gonna be an mvno or actual Telstra? Anyone have real world experience with this plan vs going through Telstra itself? Is the network not as reliable?

          Give telstra chat a try and hope you get an operator that gives you $10 monthly credit. If they don't repeat the next day

          • srhardy on 03/02/2023 - 09:18

            @azngamer: you have to ask, to receive and if your unsuccessful, ask, ask again (its what chats for!)

            eventually, someone will give it to you to get you off their back! just don't let a NO stop you from asking, again later that day or the next!

            just quote OZB and say, everyone else is getting it…. & don't mention your a jbhi/goodguys customer/contract and dont deserve it, coz, you do!

  • OzBerghainer on 02/02/2023 - 21:03

    $500 GC + 12 Month $69($59 w/ port in credit) is the holy grail perfect balance that we likely won't see again

        Telstra once you've signed up. Ask for the $10 monthly port in credit to be applied, may take a few different reps though.

  • sunnyc on 02/02/2023 - 21:39

    Should use a different company under telstra like boost or woolworths or belong. This isn’t even good for company claims because the risk of changing jobs in 2 years is a lot higher than 1 and then you’re burdened with paying a premium for 2 years

    • ctg on 02/02/2023 - 21:59

      Huh? Just claim per month expenses to your employer, or claim work related percentage on your tax return.

      • sunnyc on 03/02/2023 - 00:55

        You're in a two year commitment for 1656 over 2 years. It's not a good deal for $700 in a gift card form. Essentially you're paying more than $956 over two years because gift cards isn't cash.

  • SpeedyGTR on 02/02/2023 - 22:09

    So can you request 12 months in lieu of 24? is the voucher still the same? also what about the data?

  • isthisreallife22 on 02/02/2023 - 22:20

    Anyone have a good churn strategy for those still on a Telstra plan ?

    • Contopaxi on 04/02/2023 - 07:46

      you used to go and get a chjeap sim from another provider and then port that number to telstra and have the service aded to your accouint.
      Then you'd get in touch with telstra live support and have them cancel your current service whilst transfering the new one to your old number.

      Somebody posted this on an old JB Hifi Deal maybe two years ago if you have a bit of a search it might be explained better
