As spotted in the carousel banner on the JB website, get $1700 off any Google Pixel 9 Pro XL - unsure if you get the pre order bonus ($300 JB gift card)
As confirmed in the last JB Telstra deal, the cancellation would be $766.59 + $147 Google Pixel 9 Pro XL + $99 for the first month fee = $1012.59 for the newly launched Pixel phone!
This deal is excellent for those who want to take advantage of the $766.59 cancellation fee, or the phone plan being paid by the employer.

When can we signup for this ?
Now till 21 Aug
And where is this phone assembled? 😉
…relevance? 🤔
Indian manufactured iphone 15 have had much higher fault rates
Alright, that's a fair case.
Source?
Unless you mean the parts have a higher rejection rate? In which case, it shouldn't affect you as the end customer as they won't make it past QC.
Probably majority in India, few in China
$2549 for the top model. When the hell did the Pixels stop being good value for money? From memory the top models were under $1000 not so long ago.
More than 10x the price of my $250 Moto G84 and with significantly less features. Insane.
*hardware features. the pixel kills the G84 software-wise?
google phones stopped being good value once they dropped the nexus line imo
Ludicrous opinion IMO
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/what-should-i-buy
Why are they the highest voted phone across multiple price ranges in the annual threads every single year?
What kind of features does G84 have over Pixel 9? Chop Chop Flash Light?
3.5mm headphone jack + microSD slot
The camera is admittedly nowhere near as good.
Well, the world is moving on :) It is like saying new laptops are not as good as old laptops because they don't have CD Player, or Display Port output.
A sub-$100 phone may even have removable battery but won't make them better than the G84.
From memory the top models were under $1000 not so long ago
Yes it's expensive but this is a stretch. Show me where an absolute top of the line Pixel was <$1000 on launch.
I'd also argue that looking at the top spec is a poor measure of value.
How is an absolute top of the line phone got the performance from a 4 year old phone?
So you're upset Google wants to compete with iPhone Pro Max and Galaxy Ultra models instead of the Moto G84?
Pixel 2 (maybe xl? dont remember) was $1400, so not sure what you mean. Nexus phones though yes, were great value for money.
How does one survive on only 128GB???
I frequently delete the photos I don't need, so I don't have to organise them later for archiving and printing. The low disk capacity keeps me disciplined on photo organisation.
Yeah I don't understand people that buy high end flagship phones like the Pixel Pro / Pro XL, Galaxy Ultra, iPhone Pro / Pro Max but only get 128GB storage. Surely at least to future proof? Like in which situation is pro performance and longevity important to you but not storage?
Then get the 1TB model?
I'm annoyed at Apple and Samsung for starting this BS trend. Storage is cheap and significantly less than what they charge.
My partner spent almost $2k on a 128gb iphone and always complains about running out of space.
OneDrive family subscription for about $13 per year. 5 family members get 1tb each.
OneDrive family subscription for about $13 per year
How do you get this price?
Probably means $13 per month?
@Whatisthatvelvet: ~$11.58 per month tho.
Just wondering if there is any VPN solution to get cheap MS onedrive subscription haha
@mandelbrot: Thank you. Unfortunately I don't have any iOS device but good to know VPN onedrive is a thing.
@CodeXD: I just used an old iPad to sign up to the OneDrive. Then all devices that are backed up are android phones.
Self host cloud storage..
Nearly 50TB of file, photo, media storage available to me on any device
Vodafone and Google have higher trade in value for pixel 7 256gb.
I wonder if anyone has done the maths to see how they compare and what the total out of pocket would be
Wouldn't this deal be better anyways … You get to keep the old phone as well as get new phone at discounted price.
Ah yeah so the telstra plan is questionable as we see above that the cancellation fee and promo isn't clear.
It’s not questionable as I’ve linked a more recent deal where an OzBargainer hopped onto the deal and only got charged $766.59 for the cancellation fee
I’ve also linked a comment from a JB/TGG employee that has confirmed it as well
@BargainsGrabber: Just wondering if we can do a live chat with Jbhifi sales and ask about cancellation charges and keep that screenshot as proof. Not sure if they would be happy to provide cancellation details though.
@Yogi555: Cancellation details have to be on the contract you sign anyway so you can always review it there.
How does international roaming works with this plan? Is it same like other standard roaming with Telstra?
Anyone got idea?
Would the gift card amount be $1700? And the $800 is purely the cap for the repayment?
ie. Repayment fee if cancel in month 1 = the lesser of $1700 * 23/24 or $800 so it would be 800? Rather than 800 * 23/24
Want to confirm on this too before purchasing
I still think it's a risk if Telstra decide to update their terms which they can
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.
too risky!
If process is same with Good Guys. JB and Telstra systems dont talk to each other. They will charge cancel fee based on 99 plan. Telstra don't care/know what voucher JB gave you. Just cancel on telstra live chat. No need to even mention JB.
I really hate how companies do this, where being an existing customer means you miss out. Like, I'm month to month with JB right now so I guess I don't qualify for this?
No. JB defines a new customer as someone who hasn’t been with them for at least 30 days. So, even if you were to port out, unfortunately, you’re SOL.
Ridiculous, and ironically makes me want to change providers out of spite.
Fcuk JB off and go with Boost.
How's the invoice presented? Can I claim the full phone (i.e. total GST value) as a TRS refund, or just the is the phone price shown net of the 'gift card'
Full RRP on invoice (from previous deals)
Hopefully we see the similar iphone deal come back soon
iPhone 15 Pro money for a Pixel. Funniest shit I’ve seen all day.
And they want $840 for a 45mm Pixel Watch which cant even be repaired officially. What the actual F!
No doubt #TeamPixel will have an excuse for that one.
Funnier that anyone pays iPhone Pro pricing!
So is the early cancellation fee of $800 been confirmed by anyone or based on previous deals?

This one says excludes Pixel 9 / 9 Pro Xl
I'm still trying to work out the required payment to telstra upon cancellation haha
Pity it's only for XL.
Ozbargainers queueing at JB waiting for the phone sale reminds me of the wildebeest river crossing
"This looks great, I'm going to get over. Has anyone confirmed it's safe?"
Do you have to sign up for this in store or can you do it online?
Do Pixels have something like Samsung Dex (where the phone effectively becomes a laptop when hooked up to a monitor / tv)?
nope
Google doesn't even have a high end tablet like Samsung and Apple, let alone a Dex equivalent.
This being a pre order, considering we get phone on 22nd August and even the plan starts on that day, guess we only get confirmation on that day if the cancellation is actually capped to 800 ?
