    implications are of cancelling early.

    Interested to know

    • Me too, i just want the phone! 😅

      • Who just want the plan?
        Years years ago similar deal I got galaxy note 10+ for $600 (cancelling on day 2)

    • +1

      If its similar to the iphone deal its $800, plus maybe the first $99.

      So a good deal it looks like! I really doubt you would get the $900 jb gift card too, but not sure

  • so equivalent to $1200 cash back?

  • -1

    any good outright deals for this phone?

  • Price match amazon

    There is an offer for Fold 6 as well. $1800 off fold 6 on the same plan. Saw an ad.

    "If you cancel or move to a lower cost/different plan, then you must pay a Voucher Repayment Fee to Telstra pro-rated against the remaining months of your plan’s minimum term. "

    If the Flip 6 is basically a voucher of $1799, then you must pay back the voucher pro-rata, e.g. if you cancel after 23/24 months you have to pay $1724. That's how it is outlined in the conditions for getting a voucher with a cash value. Maximum repayment fee is the full amount of the voucher.

    This is a completely different plan compared to the HN/Optus deal.

    • +3

      Not exactly true. As mentioned in the comment below, telstra states that the maximum voucher repayment fee is 800$.

      • Not quite sure about that if at the same time it says "referred to as the “JB Hi-Fi Voucher” in the Telstra Terms and Conditions and replacing the dollar value of the Voucher in the Critical Information Summar

        So this is very different conditions written compared to the optus deal where it was clearly referring to 1/2 price of plan pro rata.

  • +6

    The maximum voucher repayment fee is $766.67 in case anyone wants to know.

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

    • +1

      So get the phone for free, go home, cancel the plan and pay $766.67 to keep the phone?

      • No, when you start your plan, you will be charged for the first month for $99 and there is no refund.

        • +7

          Ok so pay $99 + $766.67 = $865.67 total cost out of pocket for a flippin flip 6?

    • +2

      So does that mean you get flip6 outright for effective cost of $766. If so, shut up and take my money

    • +2

      This max voucher repayment fee of $766.67 is for $800 voucher. For a higher voucher and/ or value of phone the scenario would be different I believe.

      • +1

        I think you are right, the terms stated

        "Available to port-in and new customers only (excluding JB Upfront/Prepaid, The Good Guys Mobile & Broadband, Telstra or Boost). The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 256GB Phone [752452, 752453, 752454, 752455] (referred to as the “JB Hi-Fi Voucher” in the Telstra Terms and Conditions and replacing the dollar value of the Voucher in the Critical Information Summary)"

        So the voucher repayment fee will be the voucher amount x 23/24.

  • im sure many ozb members will be in jbhifi tonight

  • +1

    It's similar to iPad/iPhone deal.
    Flip 6 256GB: $99 first plan fee/ $0 device/ $766.67 cancellation fee. Total $865.67 (normal device $1799)
    Flip 6 512GB: $99 first plan fee/ $199 device/ $766.67 cancellation fee. Total $1064.67 (normal device $1999)
    Fold 6 256GB: $99 first plan fee/ $949 device/ $766.67 cancellation fee.Total $1814.67 (normal price $2749)
    Fold 6 512GB: $99 first plan fee/ $1149 device/ $766.67 cancellation fee.Total $2014.67 (normal proce $2949)

    • hmm flip6 256 is the best bet

      • +1

        Bus, samsung price usually drops a lot in few months. So, I thikn this deal is not worth to try.

  • +2

    This deal just seems like if you cancel you're up for the full price of the phone, it's how they usually go. I'd be very careful about blindly signing away on it

  • +2

    HN had this for $0 on their $69 up to yesterday…

    • +1

      Exactly. Don't understand why this is a deal…

    • Is it still available?

  • +1

    I wonder what the speeds on Telstra are like. If decent the plan could replace my nbn connection

  • So has anyone figured out what's the outright price if you cancel? 😅🤷

    • Thanks heaps 👍

  • The fine print says

    The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 256GB Phone [752452, 752453, 752454, 752455] (referred to as the “JB Hi-Fi Voucher” in the Telstra Terms and Conditions and replacing the dollar

    For which I think it's fair to say that if you cancel you will pay value of phone / 24 x months remaining as cancellation fee. You'll have a hard time convincing JB to accept the lower amount suggested above.

    • +1

      JB and Telstra changed their CIS few years ago. For old CIS, there were ETC ($1188) and Maximum Vouhcer Reimbursement fee ($800) for $99 plan. If someone cancels early, Telstra charged both (pro-rata). But, after they changed with upfront plan, they removed ETC and changed name of 'Maximum voucher reimbursement fee' with 'Maximum Voucher Repayment Fee'. So, JB and Telstra made this loophole.

  • These are the T&C's
    Basically $1800 off either the Flip or Fold on the $99 plan, if you cancel then you gotta pay that $1800 voucher provided by JB HI-FI

    • ^For terms & conditions visit: jbhifi.com.au/mobile-plans • Available in-store only • *Available to port-in and new customers only (excluding JB Upfront/Prepaid, The Good Guys Mobile & Broadband, Telstra or Boost). The $1800 off the purchase price of a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 phone (referred to as the “JB Hi-Fi Voucher” in the Telstra Terms and Conditions) will be applied to the purchase price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 phone and available to you instore after connection approval by Telstra. • If you cancel or move to a lower cost/different plan then you must pay a Voucher Repayment Fee to Telstra pro-rated against the remaining months of your plan’s minimum term. • This offer is not available in conjunction with any other JB Hi-Fi mobile or broadband offer or Trade-in coupon offer.

    • So in short however you look at it least you'll be able to get the flip 6 256GB would be $1800 + $99?

    • +2

      No. For previous iPad and iPhone deal, T&C showed same. Telstra CIS has two (Voucher and Maximum Voucher Repayment Fee). CIS shows Maximum Voucher Repayment Fee is $800 for $99 Plan. So, if you cancel, the cancellation fee will be $800 x remaining month / 24.
      There is no change of T&C and CIS from iPad $1000 OFF a nd iPhone 15 series deals. If JB and Telstra want to get the voucher amount, they should replace 'Maximum Vouhcer Repayment Fee' instead of 'Voucher' value.

      • They already stated replacing the voucher value.

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15556450/redir

        • +4

          In CIS, 'Voucher' value and 'Maximum Voucher Repaument Fee' are different. Even if 'Voucher' value is replaced, we need to pay 'Maximum Voucher Repayment Fee' if we cancel. In last month, many people purchased iPhone 15 series using this similar deal. Their T&C doesn't say 'Maximum Voucher Repayment Fee' is repalced.

            @mjkwon74: You’ll be trying to explain this to people all day, just give up. You end up getting negged just for trying to point out the actual deal these days ;).

      Checking with my source on this. I believe it’s the same as the recent iPad/iPhone deals but will report back once they reply to my dm

        we need more insider informants in jb,hn,kogan,amazon, etc lol

      • is this confirmed?
        my s21u is getting rather scuffed up now

        • +1

          Not confirmed yet as I sent a message to them on OzBargain but they were last seen on 31/7

      • “Source” lol. Phone any JB store and ask the maximum cancellation fee. It’s legal information provided to you at sign up and it’s $800.

        • So did you sig up and paid 800 plus 99 to get this phone?

        • +2

          And your point mate?

          I took the initiative to reach out to this OzBargainer who had kindly commented on that deal previously. He didn’t have to as he did say it would expose him to being an employee at JB. He told me he would rather to remain anonymous hence why I said I had reach out to my “source”, and once he had provided a response, I would pass it down to this thread

          It isn’t my fault that, as you can see, his last active status was on 31/7 (the same day I commented on here saying I had reached out)

  • +1

    $99 a month, how's this a good deal? Is there something I'm missing here?

    • people expecting to cancel in day 1 and pay 700$

      • $700?

        • sorry. $8xx not 7
          someone mentioned it above read all from top. slowly

    Lol. Here we go again.

    So what's the actual deal at the end, anyone figured out specific figures? 🤷

    • Report back after you have signed up please?

      • before he can report back, it will be sold out if the deal is real. you better go first and ask and be the first to buy! go go go

    • +3

      The maximum termination fee is $800. Anyone who can read terms and conditions can tell that. It’s public information and told to you at the point of sign up. It’s not a debate, it’s not what JB/Telstra decide later, it’s not dependant on the value of the gift card you receive in store, it’s $800. Ask any JB employee. Phone JB and ask them. It’s $800. Every time one of these deals gets posted it gets debated over and over and over.

      You pay your first $99 in store.

  • -1

    Has anyone tried this? Also I used the iPhone deal. If I buy another $99 plan will they be able to see that I have previously cancelled one?

      "The CIS is important if you are thinking of buying a new mobile, landline or internet product or service.

      It helps you compare features and prices from different telcos. It also tells you what to expect, such as:

      what is included in the product, service or plan, and what is limited or excluded the fees and charges for the product or service, even if it is a ‘free’ offer how long the minimum contract lasts how much it costs to use national or international roaming (mobile only) what to do if you have a complaint"

  • +5

    The ETC's are $800 and as most people pay their first month up front, that is lowered to $766.67 odd as the fee is pro rata and goes down around $33.33 per month. ($800/24)

    No other fees are applicable and the IMEI is taken when invoicing just as the gift card needs to be used against a Flip/Fold so this is how it is confirmed.

    • +1

      So it's $800+$99 and that's it, out of the contract and the phone is paid off?

      For example if the phone is the Flip 6 256GB.

      • +2

        Indirectly I’d safely assume yes as that’s what they’re implying as I don’t think they can give a straight answer to it - could be something against JB’s policy

        • This much confusion over buying a phone. Imagine you go in the store and no one wants or knows to answer you a simple question for an item that they have for sale and should know what the items terms and conditions actually mean, to explain to the customer. If you as a sales person, store, don't know or don't want to answer directly what you've been asked, how, why, am i to buy it? I'm supposed to just get it, stay for 2 years and "everyone" is happy?

          All this scamming, scheming, literally need to know the law or be a law expert to purchase a simple phone. It's simply criminal.

          Policy of truth, definitely 😅

          • @drazenm: Sorry I could be wrong but it could be their social media policy that I was referring to

              @BargainsGrabber: Oh it's nothing your fault, please don't think i said anything in my comment about you, you're just trying to help out, it's just the retailers and some constant confusion buying something, what you're actually singing, getting etc.

    • Are there some system issues at the moment? I'm having trouble getting the plan cancelled.. Signed up on Friday and have been trying to get it canceled yesterday and today without any luck

      • Need to call up?

      • probably they blocked all ozb members who wants to cancel

      • Hi Sogai

        I just wanted to know if you managed to cancel your plan and what the maximum repayment fee was?

        Everybody is arguing in the thread so it's hard to know what the truth is but the T&C's do read that it should be approx $800

        • +1

          Cancellation fee is $7xx. Haven't been able to get the service cancelled as of yet

          • @sogai: Thank you, please report back if you are able to get it cancelled, that's odd that they seem to be making it difficult?

            • @bcaoj: Not sure what the issue is. Have tried a few times with different agents over chat and phone in the last few days. They provide the cancellation fee, which I agree to, then they start processing the order but they hit some sort of error when submitting the order.

              • @sogai: Did you try porting out of the plan? If I'm not mistaken, that should automatically cancel your plan. (I'm going to do that before the end of the first month).

                • @bobbified: I considered it, and will probably do it if it's still not cancelled by next week. Didn't really want to spend more money on a sim. AFAIK most sims make you recharge in order to activate these days

            • @bcaoj: not making it difficult.

          • @sogai: You can cancel in any JB store.

        • It's $800.

          If you get the flip 6 256GB it's $800.

          Your phone is paid by a JB gift card by the staff in the store when you sign up, the value of the card is $1799 so it full pays off the phone. Because the plan is $0 on a $99 24 month plan.

          So if you cancel within first month the maximum fee is $800-$33.33 from the first month of $99 that you have to pay on the spot when signing up for the plan.

          So it come up all together approx $865-66

          Problem now is the $1100 gift card for flip 6 256gb ends today and unfortunately stores are now closed, I'm not sure if it's possible to sign up online for the deal. Tomorrow starts a new deal, no Idea what will it be, they didn't know in store to tell me and i couldn't find online neither anything.

          • @drazenm: The Flip 6 deal ends next Wednesday.

          • @drazenm: Also, we do know the deals in store but won’t tell you til they’re live.

            • @[Deactivated]: I was told on Monday that the $1100 gift card on the $0 flip 256GB on $99 plan ends today. Anyway, it is what it is, got it today, i doubt will get any cheaper outright then the around $865 anytime soon.

              • @drazenm: The $1100 and the flip 6 are different offers. The flip 6 offer was always stated to end next Wednesday. The $1100 was due to end yesterday but has been extended until next Wednesday.

                • @[Deactivated]: Hmmm, that's strange. What other flip 6 offer is there? As the person that was doing the process for me was specifically looking around to see around the store if the $1100 gift card is still running as it was apparently need for the deal.

          • @drazenm: Hi Drazenm

            Thanks for the reply. Please let us know how you go cancelling, as of right now I don't think i've heard of someone successfully cancel it

            • @bcaoj: I have no idea what's the problem to cancel? No one has the right to hold you in a contract its literally illegal. Maybe it's too soon? I was told to come around 10 to 7 days before first month is up, that i can come to JB store and they'll cancel it for me. Did anyone try going to the store? That's where you've gotten your service 🤷

              Otherwise escalate with telstra and let them know you want it to be marked on your customer account, profile that you've contacted them that and that day to cancel immediately not a week or two later, or month, now! So they wouldn't play the sorry this that game and drag you along, so if things linger longer you have the right to request refund for any further charges they've made.

            • @bcaoj: We process these cancellations every day. Nobody is holding you to a contract against your will. The cancellation fee is max $800.

              • @[Deactivated]: Haven't been able to get it cancelled, even in store.

                • @sogai: What did the people in store say?

                  • @bcaoj: Nothing really.. There's just an error saying "something went wrong" when submitting the cancellation order. Might just be system issues I guess

                    • @sogai: @sogal have you been able to cancel? I'm thinking of heading into the store and picking this up today, but after reading all the comments in this thread, I'm yet to see someone say - "I've cancelled and all I paid was $800"

  • +1

    Just a thought, why waste time to call when you can just port out via a $2 sim?

  • +8

    I thought I will share this.
    Signed up 2 days ago and successfully cancel today via JB Hi-Fi mobile app
    I will need to repay the value of the gift card amounting to AUD 766.59 + AUD 99 (paid initially - not sure if i am going to get a portion of this back)

    • +1

      Thanks man, I'll try this today

    • +1

      Does the invoice show $0?
      Wondering if it shows $0 is that the full refund if something goes wrong? And also wouldn't be able to salary sacrifice.

      Or does it show paid with gift card or something?

    • +2

      Did you actually end up paying this or this is what you think you "will pay"? Did you receive a final bill for this amount either via email or saw this amount in the App when you cancelled?
