This is quite good deal if you don't have anything to trade in.

Plus you get bonus double storage for preoder

Not sure if you could still ask for $10/monthly off via teltra chat

    Not bad for a 24plus 256gb (upgraded to 512GB)

    Basically free upfront and then pay $800 cancellation fee

    And you get a $200 gift card

    • asianbargain on 18/01/2024 - 11:27

      I kinda question the $800 cancellation. Too good? $800 for the vouchers.
      Maybe they ask for other fee. I'm not too sure

      • easternculture on 18/01/2024 - 11:28

        Nah , max cancellation fee is $800 (its in the critical info summary)

          Sounds like someone cooked the T's & C's.

          $1600 towards a phone or $1100 voucher for $800 + $99 first month!?
          Sign me up.

          • dreamtime on 18/01/2024 - 17:08

            @Drakesy: FYI i got a TV under a good guys promotion, and if i try to cancel on telstra app it says i have to pay back the voucher for the TV also. Got a good deal, so not complaining. But i would be careful assuming telstra will just give you that voucher for $800.

            • Drakesy on 18/01/2024 - 18:06

              @dreamtime: Yeah it does seem too good to be true, a few other comments noted they may be able to claw back the $1600

          • jedimaster on 18/01/2024 - 19:24

        The T&C talk about a voucher repayment fee and specifically talks about paying back the $1600 if you cancel early. I assume this on top of the $800 plan break cost?

        https://www.telstra.com.au/content/dam/tcom/help/critical-in…

        • quanticism on 18/01/2024 - 12:50

          Which line are you referring to? This?

          You’ll need to repay Telstra for any vouchers you received when you purchased your plan. The Voucher Repayment Fee (if applicable) is pro-rated, equal to the total amount of the base voucher divided by 24 and multiplied by months (or part months) remaining in your plan term.

          If so, the voucher they're referring to there is the $800 voucher

          • noise36 on 18/01/2024 - 14:35

            @quanticism: What about plan costs?

            • jimojr on 18/01/2024 - 15:55

              @noise36: Can i cancel my plan?
              Yes, you can cancel your plan at any time by calling us on 13 50 88 or visiting a The Good Guys store. When you cancel, your service will be disconnected immediately. We won’t refund any money you’ve already paid and you’ll need to pay out any remaining Voucher Repayment Fee.

        • Den on 18/01/2024 - 15:30

          yep, can't see 800 either, it says full amount basically:
          "The Voucher Repayment Fee is a pro-rata amount, equal to the total amount of
          the base Voucher divided by 24 and multiplied by the months (or part months)
          remaining in your Voucher Term."

          • quanticism on 18/01/2024 - 19:01

            @Den:

            total amount of the base Voucher

            This refers to the voucher row in the table which is $450 for the $69/month plan and $800 for the $99/month plan

      • hamwhisperer on 18/01/2024 - 13:35

        I see this often on OzB regarding insta-plan cancel, some people saying it's bad for credit? I dunno? What's the deal? Do you get Telstra blacklisted or something?

        Assuming you DON'T cancel, this is $2,376 you can't dodge in payback for mobile access.

        That is $1776 more than I spend every 2 years on a phone plan :{
        Therefore I'd need the phone for free AND multiple gift cards.

        OR do the cancel trick

    • BargainsGrabber on 18/01/2024 - 11:33

      For the S24+

      $1649 (double storage) - $1600 + $800 + $99 (one month plan fee or $0 if you can get Telstra to waive it) - $150 e-gift card = $798

      For the S24 Ultra

      $2199 (double storage) - $1600 + $800 + $99 (one month plan fee or $0 if you can get Telstra to waive it) - $200 e-gift card = $1298

            @noise36: That’s if you were issued a $800 voucher

            Since this is a $1600 there won’t be additional repayments apart from the $800 ETC

          • bloopzorm9 on 18/01/2024 - 11:49

            @noise36: Where does it specifically mention the $1600 pay back? All I can see is voucher value $800 and Max voucher repayment is $800?

            The $1600 isn't a voucher I believe, it's a discount.

    What happens when I cancel my plan early?
    You’ll need to repay Telstra for any vouchers you received when you purchased your plan. The Voucher Repayment Fee (if applicable) is pro-rated, equal to the total amount of the base voucher divided by 24 and multiplied by months (or part months) remaining in your plan term.

    - vourcher fee9

    • TomGum on 18/01/2024 - 11:50

      From memory, JB TC was updated once they found out people were cancelling when they didn’t have the voucher fee. Since then they have added the new clause. However whether it’s enforced or not that’s a separate question.

    • xsacha on 18/01/2024 - 12:38

    Early Cancellation of the 24month $99 plan = 800

      I took the previous Optus/HN Deal on the Pixel 8 Pro and it made a $0 hard credit enquiry on my Equifax report. Since cancelling and paying out the plan, it now says the credit line has been closed (ironically 4 days after it was opened).

      Now I'm going for a home loan and just got a conditional preapproval from a lender (3rd tier non bank lender) who has asked a bunch of questions about my credit file on previous credit enquiries and credit accounts, but no mention/queries about the Optus credit enquiry. It may have slightly reduced my credit score though as I made a few enquiries around that time and Optus added to the list of enquiries, but my credit score is high so it wasn't of any concern for me.

      Hope that helps and YMMV - this is just my experience and it might be different with other financial products.

        IMO the credit enquiries for utilities and telco just prove the fact that you had electicity / gas or a phone before.

        They don't move the needle in terms of credit score or serviceability as opposed to unsecure / secured debt.

        They mostly look at mix of debt and serviceability.

      "The Good Guys Voucher" and "Voucher Repayment Fee" are two separate terms defined in the T&C's. Normally they are the same value (both $800). However in this instance, "The Good Guys Voucher" has increased to $1600, but the "Voucher Repayment Fee" still remains the same at $800 as specified in the T&C's.

      • Cyberninja on 18/01/2024 - 14:35

        Looks like they forgot to update the Voucher Repayment Fee to $1600.

      • Increase1 on 18/01/2024 - 15:37
        +2

        Not really. Check the Service Terms under "Voucher Repayment Fee".

        These terms "Good Guys Voucher" and "Voucher Repayment Fee" are derived from each other - separate but the same.

        If you received a The Good Guys Voucher when you purchased your Mobile
        Service and you cancel that Mobile Service within any applicable Voucher Term,
        you must pay us the outstanding amounts for the The Good Guys Voucher you
        received for the cancelled Mobile Service (the Voucher Repayment Fee).

        So, by taking a contract where $1600 is the value of the voucher, you are accepting that the CIS is not for you in the first place. Your voucher doesn't align with it, and so you should refer to the Full T&C to derive the new "Voucher Repayment Fee", which is equal to the "Good Guys Voucher", which in the case of the offer is $1600. Finally, the CIS states in fine print "This summary may not reflect any discounts or promotions which may apply from time to time"

        PS: I acknowledge that both sides are arguable regardless.

        • mandelbrot on 18/01/2024 - 15:59

          Looks like the T&C's for the Good Guys is worded differently to get T&C's for JB hifi deal.

          JB hifi is much safer I reckon as it clearly spells out max voucher repayment of $800.

    • pax on 18/01/2024 - 12:49

      My reading of https://www.telstra.com.au/content/dam/tcom/help/critical-in… is that the voucher is $800, and that is the Max you can pay for early cancellation.

      I can't see a way of getting out of the first months payment though based on https://www.telstra.com.au/help/critical-information-summari…
      "Your first month's charges
      When you start your plan, you will be charged for the first month when you place your order."

      • easternculture on 18/01/2024 - 12:51

        I got mine waived with jb hifi plan. Just said i signed up and realised i dont need it, so i want to cancel.

        Also TIO code clealry states that a mobile provider cannot charge you for a service thats not used. So if they charge you $99 and you havent activated the sim, they are in breach.

      2.1 If you received a The Good Guys Voucher when you purchased a service on a The
      Good Guys Mobile Upfront Plan, the Voucher may have a fixed term of 24 months
      (Voucher Term).

      6.2 If you received a The Good Guys Voucher when you purchased your Mobile
      Service and you cancel that Mobile Service within any applicable Voucher Term,
      you must pay us the outstanding amounts for the The Good Guys Voucher you
      received for the cancelled Mobile Service (the Voucher Repayment Fee).

      6.3 The Voucher Repayment Fee is a pro-rata amount, equal to the total amount of
      the base Voucher divided by 24 and multiplied by the months (or part months)
      remaining in your Voucher Term. For example, if received a voucher with a 24-
      month Voucher Term, then in:
      (a) Month 1: You will need to repay 23/24 of the Voucher you received;
      (b) Month 12: You will need to repay 11/24 of the Voucher you received; and
      (c) Month 23: You will need to repay 1/24 of the Voucher you received.

      Just beware of the terms above

        It says the "Maximum Voucher Repayment Fee" is $800, I take that would apply if you cancelled before 12 months?

        (X) Available to port-in and new customers only (excluding JB Hi-Fi Upfront/Prepaid, The Good Guys Mobile & Broadband, Telstra and Boost). The $1600 off the purchase price of any Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra or S24+ Series phone (referred to as “The Good Guys Voucher” in the Telstra Terms and Conditions) will be applied to the purchase price of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra or S24+ Series phone instore after connection after approval by Telstra.

        I think $1600 it is The Good Guys Voucher Repayment Fee. so touch
        So break out the plan The good guy we pay $99 x24month = $2376 -$1600 discount= $776 /24month Plan = $33 monthly plan sim for 300 gb
        * $1600 discount /24months =$66$ monthly pay for phone
        * if we get ultra we pay more 2399 - 1600 = $799 /66 =12 months

        • if normal pay for phone S24 ultra 2399/36months = $66months

        There is no diferrent to buy phone from samsung and good guy even teltra i think

    Sounds like a good deal of its $800

    My Pixel 7 Pro is okay, I'm not sure I need an upgrade? I paid $600ish. I think the resale value is so bad on these, maybe I get $500.

    I haven't ever owned a Samsung, I guess most people are going to wait for others to be guinea pigs lol

  • quanticism on 18/01/2024 - 12:54

    Shame the S24+ is using Exynos and the gift card can't be used in the same transaction. Probably going to get an S24Ultra from this. Just going to wait a few days for battery life reviews and the like.

      If it’s like the last pixel deal, they’ll end it early once they see how many cancellations there are. So I wouldn’t wait too long.

    • [Deactivated] on 18/01/2024 - 13:33

      What can you use the voucher on?

    • EnALup on 29/01/2024 - 09:34

      S24U is not using Exynos? Can anyone confirm who owns the phone?

      • quanticism on 29/01/2024 - 09:43

        S24U is using Snapdragon Gen 3 globally. S24+ is using Exynos but apparently it's a decent chip this time round.

  • niknaks on 18/01/2024 - 12:54

    Just reading through and I assume like JB you can't take advantage 9f this if already on Telstra

      Same thing happens every year and people posting "you can't", it's hilarious. Yes, you can. Same with the last 10 years. Just register a new number. Then cancel your current contract free plan and request FNN change into the "new" plan. Easy as pie. Check my post history. Done so many times.

      • FOX on 18/01/2024 - 13:17

        Mind me asking what FNN is?

        • Kentrolla on 18/01/2024 - 13:48

          Posted guides on how to do this over and over again over the years. Feel free to find it in my post history.

          FNN – Full National Number, a unique number
          Telstra assigns to each service and network.
          E.g. 0418 123 456 or N0122334R.

          Go into any T-Shop and ask for a "Change FNN" they'll know what you're talking about. You can also try online chat but YMMV as most of those folks have never been shown how to do it.

    Were getting Exynos for the 24? Nah it's rather keep the 23

      Not point upgrading from s23U to S24.

      Very minor improvments

      • hippyhippy on 18/01/2024 - 12:59

        No point upgrading if it's actually a downgrade

        • easternculture on 18/01/2024 - 12:59

          Would only upgrade to S24U if it cost me $0 with trade in + bonus only due to depreciation of old device
