2 days after purchasing the $69 plan with $0 Flip6 from Harvey Norman, I rang Optus and spoke with their loyalty/retentions team and was told that I can pay $793 (as per their system calculation) and walk away with the phone.
I was also offered 50% discount ($34.50) for 12 months.
Has anyone had a similar response?
I haven't signed up to the plan. Cheers.
