Similar to the deal below, you can get S24 Plus 256GB for final cost of $662.59 if you go through JB hifi/Telstra cancellation process

Phone will be free upfront plus you get $200 gift card. You will be hit with $766.59 early termination cost plus $99 first month fee.
You may try to price match Telstra price of $1399 which will further save you $298.
$1700 - 1697-766.59-99+200
Stat bar limit is 6 years or just live in VIC and tell them to not call unless they want to proceed with legal action (unlikely for a debt under $5-10k).
this isnt Murica
Who on earth pays ~$100 per month for 24 months for a mobile plan, serious question?
I currently pay $10 -$15 PM I just can't imagine it. What is the benefit of paying this much?
Vodafone with their cpi price hkikes; bill went from $80isj to just under $100 a month.
Vodafone's cheapest plan on post paid is $49 PM, prepaid, $10 -$20 PM with an MNVO.
…iPhone users…
This deal is not for those who would be keeping the plan. Its only for those who will cancel the plan after taking up this deal.
Some employers pay for it!
People who can claim it via tax or can't afford the phone outright.
It's 300 Gig a month. Honestly, I don't see the problem as a lot of non-Ozbargain people don't need "NBN" at home. For $99 a month they can call people and shit post on X/FB/Reddit. It's more than enough data. Also, as below, they get a new phone. Yes, us l33t ozbargain users on Boost or whatever get a super cheap "monthly" mobile rate but it's not anywhere near 300 Gig.
So it will cost you about $3000 all up for the phone and plan in 24 months.
the point of this deal, for the millionth time, is to cancel it immediately ….
is it better to cancel immediately, or is it better to wait for a month since you already paid $99 for 1st month?
little confused at the process, can someone outline what steps you actually have to take?
go read past posts, linked, pls

Get on contract to get phone. Cancel contract by paying the early termination fee. Overall cheaper than buying the phone outright.
Seriously they must be losing money thanks to ozbargain.
Another Australian company that will become like Dick Smith in a few years?
Umm they made $438.8 million profit after tax FY24. They are rolling in it.
Thanks to the likes of yourself ? But your in good company here .
What if I sign up then ask to change to lower plan?
just sign up and cancel
If you manage to get them to price match $1399 and the discount is $1700 what do you get for the difference of circa $300? Do you get a second JB Hifi voucher? Credit to buy something else at the same time?
If you can't find a store that will give both the price match the the Giftcard together, which option should you choose?
Your title price is incorrect it is not $662.59 + $200 Giftcard
The title is slightly incorrect if OP is basing on the last deal posted for the Samsung Ultra. If we are going by the last deal, it should be $865.59, since the S24+ will have a $0 upfront cost
However I do disagree that the title should not include the final fee for cancelling the plan.
Hey guys, it says that you need to repay any vouchers. Doesn’t this mean you will need to repay the $1700?
No, discussed many times on previous deals. Telstra sponsors the $800, JB sponsors the remaining
This might answer my question below. Telstra charges the termination based on the amount they sponsor and then JB Hi-Fi just loses the rest??
Essentially yes
I’ve put these questions that y’all asked into a consolidated FAQ
They do not change and replace the $800 with $1700 that’s in the CIS, this will remain as $800 as far as I know based on recent deals that I’ve signed up to
How did you work out the early termination fee of $766.59? Looking at the terms and conditions it looks like the whole $1700 is the voucher, for which you have to repay the voucher for remainder of the term prorata (ie 23/24 x 1700 = $1629.17)?
Or is there something weird that happens where, although they are giving $1700 as the voucher, they pretend the voucher is only the standard $800 for calculating the early termination fee?
The terms and conditions for the deal suggests they would treat the $1700 as the voucher "The $1700 off the purchase price … (referred to as the 'JB Hi-Fi Voucher' in the Telstra Terms and Conditions)"
Yes to this. I think the jig is up, lads.
The terms have changed for JB Hi-fi Mobile plans and the "$ off voucher" is now baked into the contract. Found this out when I got the Pixel on the $1200 off deal a couple of weeks ago.
Incorrect - they have always put this clause in every deal
Read the FAQ that I linked above
Interesting… I stand corrected. Haven't done a JB phone deal since these white label plans have come out. I'll double check the contract I have on my desk at work but in the JB Hi-fi app the numbers line up.
TLDR "Voucher repayment amount" to calculate cancellation < Actual voucher received
🤦🏻 not again. Plz read the comments from similar previous deals.
Keyboard lawyers are back again lol
Their loss, our gain
Phone + 2 year contract telstra 3600GB annually: 662.59 + 2400 = ~3000
Phone separately + 2 x "1 year prepaid telstra 300gb annually": 1,399 + 2*300 = ~2000
Obviously contract packs much more data, but personally I don't know anybody who needs more traffic than 300gb annually.
This deal is not for those who would be keeping the plan. Its only for those who will cancel the plan after taking up this deal.
662 + 766.59 + 99 = 1527 which is more expensive than just buying the phone. What's the catch?
Phone will be free upfront plus you get $200 gift card. You will be hit with $766.59 early termination cost plus $99 first month fee.
$99+$766.59=$865.59 plus you get $200 GC
If you need plenty of traffic and Optus reception is good enough for you, then there's Felix $40 plan with unlimited traffic:
Phone + 2 year prepaid Felix = 1,399 + 24*40 - 60 (first 3 months discount) = ~2300
@Ash-Say the price in title needs to be after fees but before rebates, cash backs or gift cards
Hi sorry if this has asked before. I have a Samsung s23, are there any bonuses with trading this in for this deal?
No. Trade in deals aren’t stackable
Do you have to go through to effort of porting your number from one carrier to telstra? or can you just get a new phone number for this deal, then cancel it.
Simply get a new number and then cancel it.
So I got x2 of the Samsung S24 Ultra plans like this today. Is it possible to return one of the unopened and sealed phones for a full refund as I want this deal instead ?
Yes
You reakon I'll also be refunded the $99 I already paid for the 1st month bill but I haven't made any calls or browsed using mobile data whatsoever ?
No. They refuse to do so. They were several months ago but not anymore. Still a great deal nonetheless. Can always claim the $99 on tax if you use your phone for work purposes
So we need to port a number over…. then cancel the plan, do i lose the sim number? Or do i port to another provider the next day?
If is an important number yes. You must move or you will loose it.
So does this phone end up costing $662.59 plus a $200 gift card or phone ends up costing $662.59 after using the $200 gift card ?
+200
G… Samsung phones are way over priced. Whilst everyone might thing JB is losing money, I would think the opposite.
Price matching wont work right because the price will be 1399 minus 1700, they arent gonna give you the difference in cash do they?
I am paranoid that if I do it this way, I will get the debt collectors knocking on me door a year later asking for the rest of the money.
