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

            @easternculture: If you know someone in Telstra.. usually U can get it for half price

          • Spendmore on 18/01/2024 - 14:00

            @easternculture: Nah its minor upgrade but no worth it IMO.

            • cloudie9 on 18/01/2024 - 18:55

              @Spendmore: All you getting is "Samsung AI (software gimmicks), titanium body and flat screen this time (can get cheaper screen protector - good bye $80 Whitestone Dome Glass). Only thing you gain is just the 7 years updates and newer processor? Although S23's SD Gen 2 is good enough for daily driver.

          • niknikniknik on 18/01/2024 - 15:31

            @easternculture: If considering a Samsung care swap request ($199) on S23U, it would be worth upgrading to S24U if total pay in is not much more.

  • Valk2022 on 18/01/2024 - 13:14

    I thought I would clarify some things. This will be based on the $99/month plan

    As stated by the Good Guys, the $1600 discount is referred to as the Good Guys Voucher so from the Telstra Terms & Conditions

    "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).

    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. "

    Although the discount you get for the phone is $1600 the voucher amount received from Telstra is only $800 meaning, you will only have to pay a maximum of $800.

    Hope this helps

    • asianbargain on 18/01/2024 - 14:19

      So I need to pay $800 + remaining month of the contract?

      • EssendonUser on 18/01/2024 - 20:03

        This is exactly my query as well .. what about the remaining months on 24 months contract?

    • Chippps on 18/01/2024 - 14:51

      Sorry am I missing something… Do you work for The Good Guys or Telstra? You're saying the same info as others so not really clarifying anything.

  • MrAppropriate on 18/01/2024 - 13:20

    Is it worth going through this deal, getting the phone for the discounted price (assuming you only pay $800 for canceling the play) then selling this phone for a profit?

    I’ve noticed the S23 Plus has been selling for $1300-$1500 on ebay.

    So I would also assume you could sell the S24 Plus for the same or more

  • Drakesy on 18/01/2024 - 13:26

    Was going to do this but other than a bump in battery life there is literally no improvements over the S23+ let alone the S22+.

    Looks like Samsung's finally settled on a design that's iterative like Apple rather than drastically changing it every year, seems to work though with minimal bezels and no notch.

    • [Deactivated] on 18/01/2024 - 13:34

      Isn't this basically like every phone??

      My pixel 2 XL lasted me 5 years, personally I can't notice the upgrade in photo quality even though my friends can.

      Obviously it's faster, I don't think it's worth upgrading every year or even every second year these days.

      • hoxygt on 18/01/2024 - 13:39

        Totally, very few points of differences in flagship phones now days, unless all this AI stuff does something for you.

        • Spendmore on 18/01/2024 - 14:03

          Thats the big upgrade (AI) for S24 but it seems it will eventually be available on earlier models and is only free on S24 for 12 months.

    • Ilikecars on 19/01/2024 - 00:13

      I am sort of in the same boat. I have an Oppo Find X5 Pro, so still a very capable device, but I was a little disappointed with a couple things and wanted to upgrade. Samsung AI, despite what reviews would tell you seems like it's still in beta. Some of the cool features are too buggy or inefficient.

      I was expecting to be impressed with this phone but I wasn't tbh.

      Also what happened to when phones were $1000-1200. Now they are $2200 for a flagship. Give them a device and get a bunch of 'bonuses'. We're being taken for fools.

      TLDR, ranting, but probs will buy a new phone soon rofl

  • Ezaf on 18/01/2024 - 13:47

  • drfuzzy on 18/01/2024 - 13:58

    Is there any value for this deal in getting a S24 (not plus)?

    I have an S21 and wondering if it's worth upgrading for.

    The Ultra and S24+ are too big for me.

  • vstratosphere on 18/01/2024 - 14:01

    I think harvey norman will run a similar deal, on the $69 deal

    https://www.harveynorman.com.au/optus-byo

    Customers who sign up to a new Optus $69 SIM only plan in store at Harvey Norman, Domayne or Joyce Mayne during the offer period will also be eligible to purchase a Samsung Galaxy S24 256GB device with an $1399 discount applied upfront to the cost of the device at point-of-sale.

    • mandelbrot on 18/01/2024 - 14:14

      The most HN will do would be similar to the Pixel 8 Pro 128gb deal. $1699 phone value for $0 upfront on $69/24m plan (so $828 cancellation fee).
      This would equate to the S24+ 256gb or any S24.

      Edit: HN link states $1400 phone discount on $69/24m plan for the whole S24 range.

            @easternculture: I agree…. my son is currently on 120GB 365 day Coles Mobile and we'll move to 140GB 365 day Amaysim. For $125 that is over 10GB/mth for a bit over $10/mth.

            Show me better value on month to month for that volume of data at that cost. There are possibly better 365 day plans on Optus, but I'm not touching Vodafail with a barge pole.

        I got my kid 240Gb 365 day expiry plan for $120 from Costco. Well vodafone is not my preference but 20Gb data for $10 per month plus bonus 5G cellualar voice calls is a no brainer.
        Infact i felt bad for missing the same but for $100.

  • aboutconfig on 18/01/2024 - 14:53

    Ordered something from the good guys on 12th Dec last year, one month past still haven't got it after 4 phone calls, what a store

  • Chippps on 18/01/2024 - 15:13
    +3

    I think everyone is getting a little excited at the possibility of getting this phone for the price they think.

    You need to read it properly the website section - X
    It states
    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

    Purchase price is $2,197 - $1,600 = $597 remaining

    The Good Guys Voucher = $1,600

    The T&C's clearly state
    If you received a "The Good Guys Voucher" - (The Good Guys Voucher = $1600 as mentioned above)… you must pay us the outstanding amounts for the The Good Guys Voucher

    So therefore cancellation is
    $596 + Pro Rata amount of The Good Guys Voucher ($1,600)

    • JobbaWobba on 18/01/2024 - 15:24
      +1

      All true but, it states in the critical information summary that the "Maximum Voucher Repayment Fee" is $800. I assume this is instead of the full $1600 though would love to hear if anyone's tried it yet.

    • Increase1 on 18/01/2024 - 15:26
      +1

      Yeah exactly, and the CIS is literally incompatible with the offer. It states that for a voucher of $800, the maximum payment is $800.

      For this offer, where a voucher of $1600 is provided, obviously this means the maximum payment is $1600. Yes, it's unclear and requires extrapolation from the customer - for that reason you could argue it's their fault somewhat, but that will take some effort.

      EDIT: My second point is backed by their Service Terms which state:

      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).

      EDIT 2: The CIS also states in fine print "This summary may not reflect any discounts or promotions which may apply from time to time". This won't help the case of trying to dodge paying the $1600.

      • dontpanic on 18/01/2024 - 16:54
        +1

        I don't know why you are being downvoted - it's definitely a point of contention and not something I'd be taking an $800 gamble on.

        In addition to the bit you highlighted…

        This summary may not reflect any discounts or promotions which may apply from time to time

        …the CIS also states:

        You’ll need to repay Telstra for any vouchers you received when you purchased your plan.

        So, I wouldn't be too confident that you'd be able to get away with picking up a brand new S24+/Ultra for almost half price on release. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

        The only way it would make sense is if the other $800 of the discount was coming from Samsung and they were just eating into their margins to move stock. No way to know until someone purchases and reports back on how the vouchers are applied.

        • srhardy on 30/01/2024 - 22:59

          Ive been watching over the past month, well since December a whole bunch of China made SD8Gen3 mobiles and they cost USA$600-900 which shows how much more Samsung are squeezing out of buyers. Better yet, off the assembly line the cost to the company will quickly drop to <$200 so a LOT of gravy to be shared around. Remember, the price they put on parts they make themselves is a fraction of the paper, accounting costs. Makes for looses to avoid company taxes on if your in the know of all the tips and tricks, like the dutch/Iraland tax sandwidge for tax reductions on your own IP you bill youself

      If they don't change the terms, I just got a similar deal with JB last year black friday. The maximum repayment fee is indeed $800 not $1600. In reality what you'll need to pay is $99 which will be charged the day you signed up (non refundable) + $767 for voucher repayment fee.

      • EssendonUser on 18/01/2024 - 19:44

        What about the remaining monthly plan cost? Dont they charge 50% of the remaining months? Something like 24* $49.5 =$1188

        • yummypinacolada on 19/01/2024 - 02:36

          Nope, no more ETC(early termination contract), you just need to payback the $800 voucher

  • nightmarez3k on 18/01/2024 - 16:17

    Seems like buy an expensive phone plan that cost $2400 over 24 months if you don't get to cancel for $800.

    Better off waiting for it to fall in price at least that is a sure thing.

  • Scrooge McDeal on 18/01/2024 - 18:00

    Did anyone actually got this deal and cancelled the plan? I am keen to see if the cancellation fee it's $800 or $1600.

    • scbrother on 18/01/2024 - 18:25

      This is a pre-order. The phone arrives in Feb. I assume you'd cancel when you get the phone and Sim in Feb but maybe I'm wrong.

  • GameBunny on 18/01/2024 - 20:30

    Read the fine prints peeps
    "Galaxy AI features will be provided free of charge until the end of 2025 on supported Samsung Galaxy devices" the notation reads. While this does not guarantee you'll have to pay for Galaxy AI features after two years, the possibility remains open. When buying a Galaxy S24 smartphone, you aren't necessarily purchasing lifetime access to Samsung's AI tools.

    Can confirm the cancellation fee is $800. When I signed up, you have to go through the t & cs of the plan on the sign up page and it states cancellation fee of $800 and you have to click accept to continue to the next step.

      I would like to know this too. Also, what's the process for cancellation? Do you cancel with Telstra or The Good Guys? And when is the best time to cancel? Immediately after the transaction or just before the end of the first month?

      • trueamity on 31/01/2024 - 16:46
        +9

        Hi @DevonBlaze and @fring, I just signed up to the $99 plan and bought an S24+ for $97 at TGG this morning. Paid $99 and $97 upfront at the store. I then cancelled via Telstra Chat a few hours later. Here are parts of the conversation:

        "There will be an early termination fee of $766.59. Also, once this plan has been cancelled, you may no longer retrieve the number. Do you wish to proceed?

        Thanks for confirming. I have successfully disconnected the plan with case reference number xxxxx.
        We'll send an invoice to your registered email address. We'll debit the amount from your default payment method if you haven't paid within 10 days."

        I can confirm that the maximum cancellation cost is $800!
        In summary, total cost of the S24+ 512GB comes down to $762.59, according to the following calculation:
        $99 + $97 + $766.59 - $200 (I'll claim the $200 egiftcard after I receive the phone, also confirmed by TGG staff) = $762.59

        Was told the phone should be ready for pickup next week.

        the othe plan(s) have to be on telstra TGG too, so data SIM for say a tablet, a plan for the wife; as long as they are all on the one bill together (same thing for jobhifi or even telstra, it all has to be on the ONE bill to share data, then whatever the slowed data speed is, 2mbs)

        So all in one is the way to go! so in answer to the question, can I share accross t$/TGG/JBHIFI, well NO as its not all on the one bill, so cant be shared Im told. Its the same on Optus and Vodafone, it all has to be on the 1 bill to share!

          Although all billing is done by TELSTRA, the POOLING is TELSTA plans, TGGS plans and JBHIFI PLANS ~ to POOL data it must all be on the same PLAN, so 1/2/3… plans pooled on T$/TGGS/JBIFI

          However, the back end system @T$ if you get the 'right' person, might convert a plan across to Telstra's own to POOL but make sure they are not going to hit you with termination charges for the old plan! Its up to you to confirm this, the 'wrong' people @T$ can also try to bring more biz in for the bonus and although obliged to tell you, unless you ask and confirm might 'neglect' this important detail… ozb-beware!

            @srhardy: Telstra are more likely to let you re-contract to pool an account if your upgrading from $55/$69 plans to the $99 level without a penalty but its all depends on the person who's helping, their competence and if your on contract with JB/TGG that Telstra isnt going to tick them off… Its doable, Ive seen, heard and watched it done, so its worth an online query at least

    Did anyone have received their s24 plus?

  • gstfree on 31/01/2024 - 15:47

    I went to store today and was told S24 series were not available.

  • bensl on 01/02/2024 - 18:16

    im looking at the $69 plan for the regular s24. any better options on a plan?

    thanks

      taking a gandar here my thoughts, TGG offer a $900 CR directly on a $69 24m contract with 120gb, then 2mbs unlimited (no international calls or sms) and if you cancel, a $800 (pro rata fee/24m) so $100 ahead if you cancel the same day or the next which is eaten up in the first month upfront more or less, of $69

      But assuming your happy with 24months and no SG25x next year… and $69 120gb is enough, then proceed!
      $1397-900=$497 with a free UG from the 256 to the 512 version of the SG24 and $69x24=$1656 +497=$2153/24=$90x24 $200 gift card
      IMO the S24+ is a better deal @$99
      $1697-1600=$97 upfront, $99/300gbx24months =$2376+97=$2473/24=$103 equilivent… and best, if you sucumb to SG25 fever, the cancelation is 800/months remaining and not the $1600! $300 giftcard

    For people who bought the device, on the bill, what storage is written? For me, I bought a 256gb model so as per the preorder offer, I should get a 512gb model. But on the bill it shows 256gb model

      I was told to receive 512gb automatically. My sales order payments also shows 256gb, but I saw the sales guy put buy 256gb receive 512Gb in the system as a note.

      its a free upgrade to the next model memory, so it says 256 but you will get a 512 and if you dont, be polite and they will swap it for you (just dont open it) for the bigger model. all the paperwork is for the base size/price but the upgrade is done in the background and when delivered, you can claim the GIFT CARD too. dont panic, just check the side of the box before OPENING IT as a precausion but ALL OF THESE inc the >UPGRADE by defualt until the 6th as a preOrder ~ but if in doubt, you didnt ask for the upgrade or it wasnt mentioned, go into or call up TGGs and get it added as a NOTE

    Hi all,

    Just looking at this for the S24+. Can I check that you pay the full amount up front, and then you get $1600 returned to you when you pick up?

    After then, you cancel and are issued with an invoice from Telstra for $800 for the cancellation of contract?

    So did you guys cancel the subscription already or are you waiting to receive the phone before cancelling? What are the downsides to both approaches?

  • carlJack on 05/02/2024 - 11:56
