          Weird my rep said he was pumping through the deals all day yesterday and said people were finding the deal on OzB. I waited 5 mins with him to finish and I sat down and was done in 10 mins.

          It would be bs, that would be an Optus decision to make it so and why on earth would they do that.
          Sounds like a HN manager trying to get more customers that don't cancel straight away.
          If they pull that on me, no problemo I'll port in on one of my 20+ disposable numbers and still cancel straight away.

      Go activate a $2 Telstra/Vodafone sim and port that number across. Then cancel.

          That confirms this store is just bullshitting because they know what the plan is.

          There's no possible way HN or Optus know how long, say a Boost SIM, has been active for. They're just deterring.

    Can you get a Pixel Pro 8 + Pixel Watch 2 with the cancellation strat or is it just the phone? I want a cheap Pixel Watch 2

    • universe on 08/10/2023 - 18:31
      +2

      i believe the watch is included on the $99 plan?

      • gregorian on 08/10/2023 - 18:59

        Yes, the watch is included in the $99 plan and someone in the comments above provided what it would cost if you were to cancel the plan.

    • HopSkipJumpFallSplat on 08/10/2023 - 19:02
      +1

      As others have replied about it on the $99 plan, it was mentioned that it is the Non-LTE version.

    • Shad on 09/10/2023 - 11:23

      Its not worth it with phone

      Just phone on with HN $69 plan - cost is 828(provided you cancel same day n they don't charge you for 1st month)

      Phone + watch with HN $99 plan - cost is 1188(provided you cancel same day n they don't charge you for 1st month)

      Diff is 360 if they don't charge first month else diff is 370(1233-863)

      So for extra cost of 360(or 370) you are getting a watch free.

      Instead you better off ordering it separately on JB or officeworks and get $200 voucher giving effective cost of $347(547-200)

      If you have ultimate gift card saved up, it will further discount the price, the same is not possible with HN/Optus as you can't use ultimate card

      Unless I am missing something here!

      • PreOAbs on 09/10/2023 - 11:28

        My understanding is that you have order the Phone (8/Pro) with the watch to get the additional $200 voucher.

        If you just order the watch, you get zilch

        • Shad on 09/10/2023 - 13:15

          Yes, that's what I was missing!

  • cloudmonk on 08/10/2023 - 18:41

    • ozshopp3r on 09/10/2023 - 00:17

Have not cancelled it yet but is this correct what Optus rep said? If I cancel it now will I get pro-rata refund (after I pay 1st month bill)? TIA

          Try your luck with an optus rep. When I was cancelling my service today (around 2hrs ago) they tried to get me to stay so hard that they ended up offering me $35 per month for 1 year. But I cancelled anyway cause I'm with amaysim and didn't wanna switch.

          • chromium on 08/10/2023 - 20:57

            @Sandrup: What reason did you give for cancelling?

            +3

            @Sandrup: That $35/month for 12 months would have probably swayed me to be honest as that's comparable to my 2 years of 365 prepaid ($220+220+826) and I get 440GB in that time instead of 2.4TB with this plan.

            That said I'm happy with the choice I made to bin the contract have use my prepaid, I don't even use the data I have now.

            • Sandrup on 08/10/2023 - 21:51

                @Sandrup: So it's possible to port the existing number from the new sim one? I'm thinking about doing it if they give me a lower monthly charge.

            @Sandrup: are you serious? 35/m for 1y instead of 60/m for 2y. your total cost of the contract will be 420, and much less than the cancellation fee $826, why just stay with Optus.

            @Sandrup: Curious to know anyone's thoughts.

              @Deal Hunting: Tried the same but didn't get the 100GB plan for $35 offered.

              After a chat with their supervisor I got a $10 discount + 10% off per month. That's $52.10 from the next billing cycle.

                @Bond-007WA: I didn't push hard enough clearly, only got the 10% off ($62.1 a month). May have to escalate to the supervisor like you did. Also, there's apparently a 6-month waiting period until the plan could be changed, I was offered the Optus Choice Small / Medium + some discounts of $15 / $20, only portable in 6 months.

                The Termination Fee (Optus Choice Plan) is worth exploring - remainder of payment cycle + pay out device fee (which there aren't any) ;)

                  @Deal Hunting: Give it a go! Re-iterate your reduced financial situation and ask for the best offer of support. I was first offered 10% off and then pushed a little more. Don't think I can find better value than the above. :-)

          Has anyone here tried to add another Device directly from Optus to this service?
          My work pays for the monthly plan, however the eligible amount is more than this $69 value, so I was wondering if I could just buy another cheap device like a Samsung Galaxy A54 5g on a 24 month plan from Optus.
          I tried to do this on chat but they refused straight-away saying I need to terminate the current plan and go for another month on month to be eligible for that.

    If anyone is interested in a basic case & screen protector which will arrive before we get our new phones, I just ordered these as I typically cover up my phones before I take them anywhere.

    Case: ($13)
    https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0CDPP52RX/ref=ppx_yo_d…

    Screen protectors: ($19)
    https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0C6CVR6GG/ref=ppx_yo_d…

    It's a basic case, there are some better options but the ones I really like (available for the Pixel 7 Pro) aren't available yet so I'd rather get basic protection now and get something fancy later (I want magsafe + card holder). So this will do in the meantime.

    • pressPlay on 09/10/2023 - 01:05
      +3

      Good choice for a basic case, I have this one in my hands already. Solid backing and fairly rigid sides. Will yellow in no time but good for a while till something better is chosen.

      For Magsafe fans, dBrand want $49 for their version which looks tasty.

      Now that sanity has prevailed and we're back to flat screens, went for glass protection here ($13).

      • borgainerz on 09/10/2023 - 09:04

        Tempting. Would you share update when you installed the glass protection and how easy was it? I would love to see the look of it, and see if it is visible at all. thanks

          I've put glass protectors twice on the wife's Pixel 5 and was impressed how easy it was (with included bumper guide), and I've always has ended up with zero bubbles. Apart from inevitable cut out at the camera it's basically invisible. I don't forsee any probs with the bigger 8 Pro.

      • overlook on 09/10/2023 - 09:25

          It's an optical fingerprint sensor, not ultrasonic, so no, the screen protectors will not affect functionality of the fingerprint sensor.

              @worthy1: Nice finds. The 2nd one looks good, brings back those fabric vibes. Am yet to jump on Magsafe bandwagon, so I went for the Spigen Nano Pop as well as the above Tersley clear case.

              Tersley clear

              This is actually really good especially for the price. Unfortunately Amazon is OOS right now.

              Fairly hefty border protection, loads of grip, excellent button feel. I think I'll keep this on until it yellows. https://imgur.com/a/1nKF4eM Ripe for adding a skin..

              Nano Pop

              Very nice feel, slidey matte on the back with etched grippy sides. Good button feel although not as good as the much cheaper Tersely. Camera bar won't collect grime or catch on anything as it's blended in. https://imgur.com/a/496aIkm

              $40 from evilbay (I got a further $5 ebayplus discount). Just noticed progadgets has put the price up by $5 now that the phones are out.

              • worthy1 on 12/10/2023 - 16:01

                @pressPlay: Thanks for those, i havent jumped on the magsafe bandwagon either but miss having my phone on magnetic vent holders back before wireless charging was a thing. I have Spigen for my S21 Ultra as my go to after buying way too many cases. I did buy the Tersley the other day so i had one day one but turns out i have to wait for 'stock allocation anyway.

                Not a massive fan of clear cases but sucks not to be able to see the nice blue of the phone. I will probably get a spigen and get that blue magsafe one to test out since its a nice colour and its delivery date isnt for over a month anyway for that case.

    • bobloblawlawblog on 09/10/2023 - 01:33

      • Click_It on 09/10/2023 - 12:46
        +1

        There are cheaper ones like the $13 one posted above but I wasn't sure if that was a clear or black visor/lens protector and I wanted to ensure I got clear glass so I paid the extra $6. Who knows, I may have ripped myself off.

        I think it will be fine with case fit but if not then that's probably because the case grips that visor section tightly (a good thing) and we probably don't need it anyway. I doubt my cheap $13 case will do that but that dBrand one may.

    • ozshopp3r on 09/10/2023 - 16:17

      I always gets Spigen Hybrid cases and Spigen glass protectors, they are the absolute best. But unfortunately clear is sold out.

      https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0CB1BXP85?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_p…
      and Screenprotector, $12.99 with extra 10% coupon

    Not sure I trust the Optus data usage meter. I got the plan at around 4 on Friday and it's telling me I used 1.2GB on that day!
    On my old plan I hadn't even used that in a week lol. I did do a speed test, didn't realise it used that much data.

    • HopSkipJumpFallSplat on 08/10/2023 - 22:51

      No usage meters are accurate I've found, I have metered a period of time using 5 or more different meters, ISP, VPN, Router and a few tools installed, and they all reported a different reading, the more data used, the bigger the differences.

      Speed tests use more data the faster the connection is, I just used around 150mb doing a test at 80/25mbit

      • chromium on 08/10/2023 - 22:59

          I signed up at 2 different stores. First store took 15 minutes because the salesperson knew what they were doing. Second store took 1 hour because the salesperson was useless and didn't know how to use their systems.

          But that's with signing up to the Optus plan and obtaining the discount. If you aren't signing up for the Optus plan and just purchasing outright, shouldn't take long at all.

          Salary sacrificing is typically arranged with your employer/salary packaging provider later. You give them the tax invoice and they will reimburse you for the purchase (then take payments out of your pre-tax salary). Unless your employer's scheme works differently?

    I'm heading in this morning. Upgrading my wife and I from Oppo find X2 Neo's. Hope all goes smoothly. Love all the chat and help the users give each other!

    Has anyone seen a Porcelain phone anywhere in Sydney? Seems any store that has displays only has Bay Pro and Obsidien standard. I would love to see it in the flesh before ordering but seems not possible

      same, I liked porcelain one too, and ordered that.

        Yeah, I couldn't find a porcelain on display but I liked how it looked. Couldn't to the blue and didn't want a plain old black phone.

        I'm hoping its lighter than Biege. I wanted to get a clear case so I could see the colours and design nicely too.

          I pulled the trigger anyway and grabbed the Optus offer with 256GB Porcelain. I hope it looks nice.

          Bay looks a lot nicer in real life than online, I was quite tempted but I think it'll be too common

            @ma55: I did the same

            I was going through here and WP threads, alot of people opting for Bay 256. Definitely looks nice in person, but went for porcelain. regardless, its going in a case anyway

              @zb c: Hope we get them on launch day and no stock issues.

              I always keep my phones without a case but these matte backs seem to be surprisingly very slippery!

    Took close to 45 mins local HN net crashed. Had to call up. Two new numbers and paid $200 for the 256gb.

      mate, it has been said so many times in this post, check out the comments lol…

          You are going to spend $800+ on a new phone and achieve it in a way that is not intended by the phone and/or mobile service provider.

          You should absolutely read the 10 pages of comments where people have done the same thing with warnings of what to do and what not to do.

            @CodeXD: everyone has their own level of assurance and by asking the question again and someone directly answering makes me more assured than reading all the comments

            also read the fine print too but sometimes how you interpret things might be different and not clear cut

            thanks for the tip

              @Poor Ass: You don't even have to read 10 pages, even one page would tell you everything you need to know more than enough times

                @JDKC: Ya I know

                I just reply to get the negs

                  @Poor Ass: According to other comments and my reading of the contract, you have to pay for the whole billing cycle. Unless you cancel before the bill is generated. But your cancellation free also drops by $34.50 so the first month has an effective cost of $34.50 too.
