      That was the best, and I cancelled Telstra service due to poor reception and speed. So $500 GC for free.

          Boost prepaid seems to have good deals, honestly you get the Telstra premium network without paying out of your a$$. No idea of any other good post-paid plans that are available. AFAIK Telstra premium network is limited to Telstra and Boost only.

  • shmahoo on 16/06/2024 - 14:27

    They're doing $1100 off a Google Pixel 8 Pro, which is better than paying up front for it and getting a gift card that you have to spend on something else
    (Combined with a 24 month contract for $89/month for 300GB data)

    • sh4hp on 16/06/2024 - 15:11

      $1100 off 256/512GB, $0 for 128GB

    • mahdoo on 16/06/2024 - 17:08
      +5

      Not a good deal if you keep the contract, and work doesn't pay for it though. $89/month is outrageous for a mobile plan.

      I got the Pixel 8 pro 128GB for $765 in the end, After cancelling the Telstra plan, paying early termination and getting the $600 off sale. Could probably get better if you planned in advance.

    For those that actually need this much data which is going to be 0.01%> the effective price of $47 for Telstra 5G is pretty good. Im holding out for an $1200 gift card on the $89pm plan which is what im on and currently due to expire in November this year.

        You are much better off with an annual boost sim/esim.
        I can generally get 30-40gbps of user per month but its still 10% of my allowance.

          Yeah, I made the mistake of clicking into this thinking of the JB deals of old that were actually good. No longer. I knew my usage wasn't high (I'm on a 150GB catch plan at the moment) but I wanted to jokingly post how bad this deal would be for me.

          • Capitalshark on 16/06/2024 - 15:53

            @freefall101: Double what I pay currently (with the gift card deducted) and I get stuck paying off a JB gift card over 2 years

        • friz on 16/06/2024 - 14:46

          I'm considering a Boost move. What is the typical best deal you see? I wouldn't use more than 15gigs a month (using less than 10 with Vodafone atm)

            +2

            @friz: If you are ok with the Optus 4G Network, the Amaysim 365 day deal you really cant beat.
            https://www.amaysim.com.au/sim-plans/12-month-sim-plans/unli…
            $180 for 240GBs of data per annum, unlimited national calls and texts and international calls and text to 28 countries.
            ($60 of cashback through TopCashback Australia)

            If you want Telstra 5G, the Boost 365 day $300 (now $260) plan is also equally as good.
            https://boost.com.au/pages/prepaid-plans
            $260 for 260GBs of data per annum, unlimited national calls and texts and international calls and text to 50 countries.
            ($50 of cashback through Cashrewards)

            • friz on 16/06/2024 - 15:37

              @AircraftFreight: Appreciate the reply! Arw those about the best deals for a yearly SIM on the two networks? I'm assuming there is nothing with less data and a commensurate decrease in cost?

              I'm on this VF SIM till next Jan, but I can always pre-purchase, if the expiry is appropriate.

              • Agret on 16/06/2024 - 18:14

                @friz: I use Lebara 365 prepaid, if you buy one year on a larger plan you can max out your data bank and then next year switch to the small plan and you keep the data you've banked. I mainly use wifi for data usage so my data bank is basically always maxed at 200gb for buffer if I go over my plan for traveling or something one month.

                • sajidmib on 17/06/2024 - 01:13

                  @Agret: I’m using Lebara and the coverage is bad, I’m using it to wait out the 30 days to rejoin boost. But it’s very bad don’t like it. Even for international calls, after 10 mins into call the voice lags and the other party says that your voice comes after 10 secs gap. Thats what used to happen to me in Vodafone, or replay my conversation that took place 2 mins early, in an ongoing call. Its sounded very weird.

                  Since moving to boost I don’t have those issues with international calls, nor I i have a coverage issue. Best deal for people that often are on wifi and don’t use data more than 10Gb a month.

              • freefall101 on 16/06/2024 - 19:49

                @friz: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/851404 - this deal. 170GB for $187.50. So long as you keep it under 15GB a month.

                  @freefall101: awesome. Yeah this would work if the ability to start it (with all the data included) was Jan 2025, when our current plan starts. I guess we look for something in this price range towards the end of the year.

            +1

            @OzBerghainer: Why is that? If someone is on the highest tax bracket, it makes it ~$50/month. Subsidise the $1000 gift card over 24 months and you're effectively paying $10/month. I don't see why one shouldn't be able to claim it on tax if they use it for work (or at least a high percentage, 80-90%, of their work).

            • Ridiculous Panda on 16/06/2024 - 20:11
              +3

              @Jaystea: Yeah many people have a work number and a personal number and can definitely claim 100%. Some people don’t know how to minimise their taxes ;)

      • mahdoo on 16/06/2024 - 17:15
        +1

        Even if we assume you're on the highest bracket - 45% - you'd be able to claim back $40.05 off the $89 - so would cost you $48.95 - how are you getting to $20??

        If you're calculating the gift card into this - then you're just paying full RRP for the phone, and associating all the savings to the overpriced Telstra plan. Seems silly to me.

        • Ridiculous Panda on 16/06/2024 - 20:08

          What phone? It is a gift card you may use to buy anything anytime and you don’t have to use it all at once.
          It is definitely a good deal for people who need telstra service anyway. Don’t compare it with crappy resellers because reception isn’t the same. Boost is the only comparable service and this is cheaper if you consider the gift card even at $900 value and tax deduction.
          A cheap Catch plan might work for you where you live and work but not for many others in other towns in the country.

          • mahdoo on 16/06/2024 - 22:46
            +1

            @Ridiculous Panda: My bad, they did a similar deal that required the purchase of both the Telstra plan and a Pixel phone.

        • Jaystea on 17/06/2024 - 16:24

          You claim the full RRP of the phone on work as well. And then you sell your phone every year to make up the other 55% of that difference. Ie. Free upgrade.

          The only money you come up with is the $48.95/month which is $1174.8. But you get $1000 gift card to buy anything you want (whatever household product you need, or tv whatever) So effectively you are only paying $174.8 for the plan over 2 years. Thats $7.28/month.

          If you sell your phone for >55% of the difference, keep the change. I tend to just trade in my iPhone every year as it’s easier than trying to get an extra $50-100 out of fb marketplace.

  • thatOtherGuy on 16/06/2024 - 14:43

    Did they finally close the loophole of cancelling the SIM after a month, and keeping some of the voucher credit? Seems like the entire face-value of the voucher is repayable (at a pro-rata)..

                  It has been confirmed by an employee on that deal (refer to the pinned comment)

                  The etcs for any 24 month sim only plan is whatever the base value of the original giftcard offer is, meaning promos like this the etc's don't change.

                  Many, including myself, have taken advantage of that deal since some JB stores allowed you to price match after signing up to the $1000 off any iPad

    Now $6/m cheaper than Telstra whereas it used to be $4/m more expensive. For ETC, you pay the base value of the GC so the payout is $800 per the CIS. You have to pay the first month fee on the spot so you’re really only getting $111 for free if you terminate. Nothing to run to the store for. You would want at least a $1200 GC for it to be worthwhile.
