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
Haha yeah, not even sure if he thought he was talking about the gift card that paid for the phone or the bonus $200 gift card!
Yep just relax. Jb get given a $1700 gift card to pay for the phone to make it $0 plus the remainder to you, and you pay the termination fee as stated by telstra, nothing else. Telstra are still making money out of this by getting $99 upfront for the month from everyone and gaining the termination fee. Jb benefit out of it as they're getting $1700 to pay for the phone to give to you so they're still getting the money for the entirety of the phone anwyays
No ones at a loss and the ones winning are the ones who need a new phone like myself as I saved more than $400 if I purchased from student education sites which was currently around $1415 for s24+ 256gb
Could anyone please explain that Can I get new number or I need to port my own number?
new is ok
You can keep your number or get a new one
Just like to confirm. Phone is not locked to telstra or any network?
nope
Nope meaning not locked?
Not locked, currently on an optus sim on my new phone and terminated the contract already
order still in progress since yesterday
I did this yesterday and got the $512gb model, it is $1,887 so I paid $187 for the upgrade.
Remember the phone doesnt have expandable storage.
I currently have a s20+ which needs a battery replacement. Samsung quoted $110 for that.
Is S24+ a big jump from S20+ for day to day normal use phone?
Spend $110 on S20+ and keep it for another 1-2 years or spend $662 and get S24+ now?
I would advise that you get it and if later on you are not feeling it, just re-sell it at a profit, you got nothing to lose here.
How is the s24+ vs s10+. The s10 is still superb. 0 issues except its starting to lose charge quicker. Is it worth the upgrade?
Got the deal today thanks op. Cancelled though the app straight away no issues
I got the s24+ 512gb, i asked about the telstra price match and they gave me an extra $100, since it included the $200 jb voucher. So it ended up being $1787 for me and $87 to upgrade.
Just got the S24 512GB, they reduced the price to $1550 so it was $0 upfront - didn't push too hard on the price match although probably could have gotten it down further but since it was below $0 then I don't think he was keen on it.
Felt weird knowing I could get an objectively more expensive/better phone for the same price (S24+) but I really wanted the smaller size, sick of my P7P which is too big (and has other issues)
So does this expire today (18/9)?
Yes….
Thanks OP.
They wouldn't match Telstra's price, but sold me the S24+ for $0, on a 24 month contract.
Also received the $200 gift card, plus a $13 gift card.
Early termination costs were quoted at $800 if we leave early. Planned to leave before the month is up, so we'll only pay for one month's plan ($99 per month).
I think it's a great buy.
Now to wait for the price of Bose SE's to drop to use the gift card.
Thanks again OP.
Cancelled the number by porting out, and received the final invoice at $766.59.
Great deal. Phone for total cost of $865.59. And also left with $213 in JB hi-fi gift cards.
Any time limitations on when this can be done again?
They can’t and they won’t. Chill my friend.
The ‘value of the gift card’ is $800 according to the contract you signed, despite it actually being $1700. 23/24 of that is $766.59.
