To be eligible for The Good Guys credit, you must transfer an existing service from another provider (excluding JB Hi-Fi, or Boost, Telstra Prepaid) or connect a new number and sign up to an eligible The Good Guys Mobile Plan. Offer only available in store. Excludes online purchases, gift card purchases, The Good Guys Commercial, eBay Store, agency brands, and existing JB Hi-Fi, Telstra & Boost Pre-Paid customers. Offer not in conjunction with any other offers.

Hi,

First time posting the deal here, apologies if it isn't the best bargain phone deal out there but might be helpful for someone who is looking at Telstra Network.
I was looking for a good phone plan deal, unfortunately the JB Hi-Fi 12 months $69 plan for $500 seems like become history now.

I saw The Good Guys Telstra plan but seems like no one has posted yet.
It might not be the best there out there but seems a better deal compared to JB Hi-Fi plan.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Series - $1100 off - $69/M for 24 Months
iPhone 14 Plus Series - $1000 off - $69/M for 24 Months

I was after Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the current price on The Good Guys is $1645. (Bonus Galaxy Watch 5 44mm LTE via redemption)
So upfront cost will be $545, $45 higher than the Harvey Norman Optus deal.
If you can find better prices, I think they might allow you to price beat to reduce the cost.

Other Sim plan only (but not really a bargain)
$700 eGift Card - $69/M for 24 Months
~~$1200 eGift Card - $99/M for 24 Months~~ - Looks like they have removed it

I can't find any info about the ETC but the TCs from the $1100 promo does state:

'If you cancel or move to a lower cost plan then you'll need to pay a Voucher Repayment Fee pro-rated against the remaining months of your plan's minimum term.'

So if you cancel immediately, your pro-rated VRF would be:
$1100 * (23/24) = $1054

On a positive note I think you can keep the Watch5 as this is a promo directly from Samsung….
- FiloGuy on 26/06/2023 - 13:15
  
  But the minimum voucher repayment fee is $431.25 according to the CIS though
  - MarioBros on 26/06/2023 - 14:27
    
    Exactly. So what's the total to own this f….ing S23 ultra and get rid of the plan ?

      You've posted a couple times now, it's clear there is a discrepancy in information provided by The Good Guys. Maybe you can turn your energy of frustration into action and talk to the good guys folks to get the answer and share with us. Be the hero we need @MarioBros.

        @2-1: I did. But they said 1400 coupon and if plan cancelled need to pay 1400 as "fees". But that was with the Phone plan. This is a Sim plan. It's different. I will be your hero tomorrow. I'll go at the store even if is a bit far from me… I'll do once and for all ! I wanna see clear. ;)

        @MarioBros: I bought and cancelled already today. Cancel fee with Telstra live chat was $431.25. Scroll up to my prior comment.
        
        MarioBros on 26/06/2023 - 15:59
        
        @Kuro: So basically I'll just rock in ….get the phone and the plan, then go home and cancel from the Telstra itself and I'll pay the cancellation based on their invoice that they will send me (431.25) is that it ? Lol
        
        Kuro on 26/06/2023 - 16:34
        
        @MarioBros: Bascally, my Telstra app has the $431.25 owing in the payments tab. To be autopay on the 10/07/2023 or pay now.
        
        MarioBros on 26/06/2023 - 16:36
        
        @Kuro: I get that but I'm literally speaking to someone at Telstra and they all say if cancelled I need to pay the remaining months of the plan. Which will be a pretty high amount. I just don't understand. Nobody knows nothing. These people i feel knows less then us….isn't it? I'll just risk it? Lol
        
        Kuro on 26/06/2023 - 16:57
        
        @MarioBros: Up to you. The CIS states the max voucher fee is $431.25 on a $69 plan. No mentions of any other eary termination fees in CIS and T&C's. My contract says $450 voucher was applied. Thats what gets sent to Telstra. So they work it off that. Their systems dont talk to each other, so they'll act on what was sent to them by JB. Good luck.
        
        MarioBros on 26/06/2023 - 16:59
        
        @Kuro: I understand your point. I do. But….. Into the 24 month plan is clearly written "minimum cost $1656. So what about that ?
        
        Techie4066 on 27/06/2023 - 14:13
        
        @MarioBros: That minimum cost is what the telcos legally have to include so you know what the 24 month contract will cost you. Not if you end it earlier :)
        
        MarioBros on 27/06/2023 - 15:27
        
        @Kuro: I did it !!! It's true !!! That is all correct!! The guy knew it and I did it. Confirmed only 431.25 to get off the plan !!! ;)

        @Kuro: Did the Telstra's agent say you may be required to pay an Early Termination Charge (ETC) if you decide to cancel the plan before the Min. term?
        
        Looks like the VRCF is only 431.25, but ETC will be 828, which is half of the minimum cost.
        
        See the section 5.20:
        Disconnect - ETCs and Voucher Reimbursement Cancellation Fees (VRCF) apply.

        Did you get the bill from Telstra? I was planned to get this plan today. Bc I asked Telstra agent this morning, and he said I need to pay a huge amount of ETC as this is a 24 months contract plan. I double checked the terms as I mentioned above, the section 5.20 did say there is a ETC will be charged. I am confused.

        Sign up for plan, get the $1100 voucher, get the S23, free watch via redemption
        
        Then you can cancel the plan straight away and you only pay $431.25 as your exit fee? No need to repay good guys or anyone for the $1100 voucher??
        
        So total cost of the S23+watch will be [price of phone]+431.25-1100??
        
        Please confirm! :)

        Edit: thx for the Telstra doc, you may be right. Hmm. Maybe as long as the Telstra agent doesn't notice and their system doesn't auto-generate the ETC invoice, it'll be ok?
        Section 5.24
        
        This will be in addition to the Early Termination Charge above, as well
        as any accessory payments that may apply.
        
        Also 5.27, although this may be delineating TGG vs Telstra's role in the contract
        
        As this voucher is provided in partnership with JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys, the ETC for
        the voucher will appear on your Telstra bill
        
        I'd love to know for sure

        Btw they made this mistake until late 2020/early 2021 with the JB contracts - I got an S20 FE 5G + Buds Live for $650 in October 2020 through a similar process.
        Fingers crossed for everyone. As for me, I'm not so sure about this. +$828 is a deal-breaker.

        @Techie4066: Ahh, it's not only +$828. Based on the terms, the money out of pocket should be
        
        Original "Price of the phone" without any bonus + $828 + $69
        
        if you cancelled the plan in the first month. Technically, Telstra won't lose anything. But….yeah, I am still confused xDDD.

I think the Telstra deal at JB hifi was better. Not sure if its still running. Here is my run down:

S23 Ultra 512GB $1789 (Price beat with Samsung government store which had for $1799)

Watch (Free)

$1400 Gift card towords phone (Only show's up as $800 at telstra though shhh)

$89 per month with Telstra 24 Months (break fee is only the gift card of $800 which is pro-rata and goes down each month)

Total cost out of pocket $389 + $89 first month fee.

I will keep the contract however if you wanted to cancel right away $800 + $389 + $89 = S23 Ultra 512GB for $1,278.

Hey guys,
So, hoping someone can help me out here, the voucher for the $69 plan for Samsung s23 is $700, how is it only max repayment fee only for $431 if you cancel on the first day?
Also, whilst you will need to pay back the value of the voucher, does that mean you can still use the $700 voucher for other things?
Lastly, why are you guys preferring the s23 ultra to the s23+ or the normal s23?
Thanks!
- Techie4066 on 27/06/2023 - 14:15
  
  The $700 eGift card is a separate promotional offer that doesn't come with a phone. The S23U is always more attractive to people and seems to be the best % discount. I have an S23+ and love it so don't pay more just for the sake of it.

Great ducked into store today, 1100 off the S23 Ultra 500gb, used phone trade in for $600 total cost $249 + 69 for the monthly charge.
Good deal, Fold 4 just wasnt for me, Camera quality was too low.

  You’ve traded in your Fold 4 and only get $600 out of it?
  - josephnds on 27/06/2023 - 20:40
    
    I only paid 500 for it on a previous deal
    - josephnds on 27/06/2023 - 20:48
      
      It was th jb hi fi deal a few months ago, the flip 4 was $989 with a bonus $500 off + phone credit.
      Ended up paying $500 odd for 512gb, honestly the fold isnt for me. The camera is lackluster, and it feels fragile.
      
      Maybe i should have sold it online. Meh. Still made money on it.
      
      Would do it again

I paid $839 for the S23 Ultra 512Gb and the 1st month of the $69 plan. I can confirm the cancellation fee is $431.25 through telstra live chat. Plus a free watch

Good deal!

  Hold on, on cancelling the telco immediately, is it only $431.25 payable to telstra? there is no need to account for the $1,100 or even having to pay the first month fee of $69 i assume?
  
  so i follow you properly, its really only $1,270.25 out of pocket for the entire transaction (cancelling/porting out immediately)? being:
  
  a) phone cost of $839 ($1,939 - $1,100); add
  b) cancellation fee $431.25
  
  TIA!

My calculations for the S23 256 GB

TGG S23 256GB & watch @$69/m plan
$1249 - $1100 +$69+$431.25=$649.25

JB S23 256GB & watch @$69/m plan
$1249 - $850 +$69+$431.25=$899.25

  Seems right

Am I reading this correctly?:
TGG $99 plan deal states a BONUS $1150 Off Samsung Galaxy Deal + BONUS $1100 eGift Card Deal. Are they really giving 2 gift cards with a Samsung phone? One to come off the cost of the phone and the other to spend in store at a later stage?

These are the Termination fees from the T&C that I could find:

Plan $49 $69 $99
Minimum Cost 24 month term N/A $1656 $2376
Voucher For eligible customers N/A $450 $800
Maximum Voucher Repay Fee N/A $431.25 $766.67

  No. You pick one or the other. Not both

This was posted 1 year 4 months 27 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.

$1100 off Samsung S23 Series, $1000 off iPhone 14 Plus with The Good Guys Mobile $69/M 120GB/M 24M Plan (New/Port-in, in-Store)
