Credits to JinTheGod for discovering this via the similar deal for Pixel 9 Pro XL here - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/866174

As confirmed in the previous JB Telstra cancellation deals , the cancellation cost would be $766.59 + $99 for the first month fee
Hence the total cost would be $766.59+$99+$2187-$1700 = $1352.59 for the 256GB Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
In addition to the above, JB is throwing in an extra $300 Bonus Giftcard for this sign up, bringing the cost down to $1052.59

Not bad if you're eyeing the S24U and don't mind exploiting the cancellation loophole.

          Your opinion is its a bad deal because of the 99 per month for 2 years but the deal posted in here is including canceling the plan

              @Avi0001: Cheapest Boost 12 month deal works out to <$20 per month not including any cashback deals or specials you may get it at.

              I'd rather pay the $5 extra not to have to deal with having to cancel a sim, buy a new one and port a number every month.

                @TheFreaK: Yes what a pain, having to set up a new sim every month for two years is ridiculous, just get a 365d Boost Sim, I'm on me forth and 140gb or whatever is heaps(wifi home+work).

                Anyway sounds like I risk these kinds of hacks in the event you can't cancel your 2y contract straight away and would anyone actually get an s24 over a pixel now? May as well get a top model iPhone if these are almost as much.

            @TheFreaK: Too much time and effort. Most people would figure their time is worth more than the potential savings at play. Years ago when you’d get $30 credit to spend on the google play store from these sim packs it was worth doing though. ;)

    • freefall101 on 14/09/2024 - 15:15

      It's not bad if you want the phone and can use the data. 300GB is enough that it could replace NBN for some people (although it's annoying to have to tether that much).

      You have to pay $2,563 over 2 years (assuming the $300GC is worth getting also), but remember it includes a $2,187 phone, so the plan costs less than $400 on top of the phone. Whereas at $15 for 28 days you're paying $390 over 2 years anyway.

      Even the best pricing for this phone recently through the samsung edu portal was about $1,700, so the phone plan is about $35 a month for 300GB on telstra. That's not bad pricing.

  • itslittfam on 14/09/2024 - 14:26

    Can this be further reduced via price match?

        I asked in the Perth city store on Wednesday and was told they would not price match with this deal, unfortunately. I was trying to price match with Amazon which currently has them for $1699.

        I'm sure, as is often the case, you might have a different experience at another store.

      • BargainHunterJohnnyB on 14/09/2024 - 14:30

        Yeah but I heard they patched up the loophole within a few days after they noticed a huge surge in cancellations…

          If you're talking about the last year Harvey Norman Optus deal for Pixel 8 Pro, then yes they have made some changes to the cancellation terms

          As for the JB Hi Fi mobile plan by telstra, I'm not sure if it has been patched as the CIS still mention $800 for the max repayment. Reason being Telstra only see $800 in their system and any cancellations will refer to that.

          If anyone has any update on this, I would love to know

            @evilhomura89: JB staff was the one who recommended me to do the loophole when I was looking to buy an iphone a week ago (it was a $1100 gift card deal). I’d assume it’s still not patched, and probably wouldn’t be if staff are actively recommending this method unprompted.

          • Kanjus on 14/09/2024 - 15:53

              @Kanjus: If the CIS remains the same for the $99 JB Hi-Fi mobile plan, then yes the cancellation cost would be the same

        • Maestrok on 14/09/2024 - 14:41

          what's the loophole? as far as I understand…$800 off is Telstra standard for JB plans…. the "extra" $900 to make it $1700 (+$300 bonus gift card) is JB/manufacturer bearing the cost… So this is all above board afaik?

        • Menzoberranzan on 14/09/2024 - 15:16

          It's been a thing for years. Did it earlier this year for the Ipad Pro M4 along with many others. A former customer service rep posted further info about how it works for JB Hifi too

        How would they price match when there are all the other deals as part of the offer including a contract over 24 months? You mean the outright price before everything else?

      Go in store and ask for the JB Hi Fi mobile upfront plan together with the phone
      Sign up, pay the $99 and $487 difference, go home and then cancel the plan from your Telstra app

        • Pinchme on 14/09/2024 - 15:21

          Is it really that simple to cancel directly from the app? Also, I assume getting a new number would make the process a lot simpler, right?

            @Pinchme: It takes 5 minutes to cancel via JB HIFI app chat.
            New number or you'll need to port out your number instead of cancelling, otherwise you'll lose your number straight away.

          • jimojr on 14/09/2024 - 16:00

            @Pinchme: Yes, you can port out your number or cancel the service from within the app's chat.

      If you're on Telstra, it could be to your advantage since u don't have to pay the $99 upfront, just sign up for a new number and then cancel it
      Depending on your billing date, you'll be paying only $487+$800 only since you're cancelling before the first billing

      • jason3w on 14/09/2024 - 15:05

      Nevermind. I see it now in the fine print. I need to get off Telstra in preparation for these deals. Seems like a good deal even keeping the phone and plan. I'm paying $75 a month now, stupidly. Getting the phone even at $1200 is $50 a month over 24months. Not many plans for $25 with a decent amount of data on Telstra.

      • jason3w on 14/09/2024 - 15:07

        Does anyone know if there is a time limit on being away from Telstra first? i.e. can i port to Optus today and go in tomorrow?

          You don't have to port out or use your current number. Get a new number and it will be considered as a new customer for this deal.

      I signed up to this plan yesterday. I was with Boost Pre-paid (Telstra), purchased a $2 Optus Sim, ported over to Optus in about 5 mins, then went in store to sign up to Telstra at The Good Guys and 5 mins later was back on Telstra. Mind you this was a weekday, so not sure how instant it is on the weekend, probably is though.

    Shouldn't the title say the cost is $1352.59 and not $487. Price in total is meant to be total after any fees and taxes but before any rebates (eg a gift card). So it should include the cancellation fee.

    The $300 bonus gift card is the bit that prob makes this deal. Was $1405 just a few days ago for the 512gb

    Is the $1700 characterised as a voucher? Or do they just straight up reduce the price of the phone?

        I agree, sounds pretty reasonable. Where's the fun in that though. People like double dipping and these hacks to try and get it as cheap as possible.

        Was good with the pixel 7 deal and all the bonus items (and can sell them), the RRP was less, trade ins more, and would only cost $300-400 outright for a p7.
