        I had a similar kerfuffle. Just got a new number on e-sim and switch my normal number over to another cheapo 365 day provider on expiry (physical Sim). Have both Sims on the same phone. Doesn't make much difference.

      Wish I'd seen this earlier.

      About to embark on nomadic travels around Australia soon.

      Will need between 100gb to 200gb per month data plan.

      Have an older phone, so having the voucher towards a new phone with 5g could have been very useful.

      Anyone have a crystal ball and know when they are likely to have the next one of these?

      You can sign up to a new mobile number and ask them to merge your current number to the new number and keep that new plan activated.
      That's what I did two years ago during their Boxing day sale.

          Call Telstra or go into a store or online chat. You'll have the most luck with younger knowledgeable staff.

          JB plans show up as regular Telstra customers in their internal systems. It's not that staff CANT do it, most wont know how to or want to, since its wastes their time and makes no added money for Telstra or JB.

          Staff at either place shouldn't be doing it, but there's nothing stopping them if they know how to work around Siebel.

            @Shak2093: These plans aren't even provisioned in siebel anymore for over a year. It doesn't work like that. It's not really possible without the risk of breaking a huge code of conduct. Don't waste your time or promote wasting time to other people

              @despavr: Swapping the owned/assigned number between two specific services on your own Telstra account between is a fire-able offense that breaks some sort of ToS/Code of Conduct?

              EDIT- For a Telstra employee? Just noticed you're repping JB. Not sure if you can answer this? I've always done this the next day at a Telstra store.

              (Old contract phone number = 123. New contract phone number = 456. Go into Telstra store and request "123" number be moved onto new contract, and "456" be moved to the old contract. Now old contract = 456, and new contract = 123).

                @CharcoaI: Ah, so this is how it's done. But can a Telstra employee swap a "JB" number with a Telstra number?
                I know they are both being served by Telstra, but JB plans don't even show up under your Telstra account, anymore, and you're forced to use the JB plan app to have access to it (I know, I already have one).

              @despavr: Well if you think it's a waste of time then you're free to tell your customers whatever you'd like. I'm trying to help people get around stupid rules which only benefit the Telco. I don't work for JB or Telstra so i couldn't care less about what rules you have to follow as a staff member.

              It is still very possible, as evidenced by the fact that i got a mate who still works for Telstra to do this exact thing for me less than a month ago, in store as well. The plans may not be provisioned in Siebel from your end, but all customers using the Telstra network still have a presence in the backend systems that can be messed with.

          • PG57 on 03/10/2024 - 09:04

        I just tried the same trick, and it worked - eventually.

        What I didn't expect was the outstanding ETC on the cancelled plan would prevent me from passing the credit check for the new plan! Managed to resolve it by paying it off once I understood that was the problem, but had to go through 4 different people at Telstra to get a straight answer that it was the problem. Credit checks are otherwise a complete black box as far as most of them are concerned :(

        • G-rig on 03/10/2024 - 18:10

          • Dalryk on 04/10/2024 - 15:43

            @G-rig: Apparently, its worth $198.

            I lodged a complaint and the resolutions officer gave me a refund direct on my credit card :p

            Actually worked out to be a pretty sweet deal in the end: I had an email offer from Amaysim for $200 off any phone with a new service, and they had the Moto g54 on sale for $209. So I ported out to Amaysim on a $30 plan (less $3 cashback), got a $300 phone for $9, got a $1,200 gift card when I ported back in, and a $198 credit.

            300 + 1200 + 198 + 3 - 30 -9 - 734 = $934 profit! Plus the $1100 previous gift card. And work pays for my ridiculous phone plan ;)

      Doubt it. Last time I asked they said you have to be moving a non-telstra into telstra.

    Early termination fee for the 99 plan was $763 for me with the iPhone deal a week or two back. Don't think this will be any less unfortunately but in theory

    Sign up, pay 89 bucks
    Get 1200 voucher
    Go to Telstra, cancel deal, pay 763 ETF, get 89 refunded

    Almost 450 for freezies, fantastic if you were looking to buy a big ticket item at JB soon.

    • Traya1 on 02/10/2024 - 20:58

      Can you provide some more detail on how this works? I’m $15 per month amaysim, wife is on Optus deal $89 a month or so mid-way through

      • srhardy on 02/10/2024 - 22:02

        First and formost, is the $15 dollar a months plan all you need now and is telstra coverage better on Telstra for you as this years iPhone should be called the AiDud! Also nows the time to track down a near new flipped iPhone15 for a nice discount (mines worth $815 to trade back to Vodafone in credit and I paid $1000)

        But if it is what you want, yeah this is a good deal. The phones warranty is 2 years as is the plan. Its $1200 off the phone you pick, id recommend the base model and add iCloud $1.49 a month 50gb online storage option so factor that in with the $89 a month on top. You will probably get 3 months AppleTV for free, so check it out and binge it all in the three months! Thats 12.99x3=$39 saving that people overlook bonus!

        Personaly I buy a good case and Ive never broken anything wile they have been looked after but the second you take it out of one, they are fking easy to do lots of expensive damage too but the 'added insurance' and excess is a scam. The phone basicly healvily marked up and all could drop 33% tomorrow and eveyone would still be in gravy even on the base model!

      • Hargain Bunter on 03/10/2024 - 11:03
        +2

        It depends on how much you’re currently paying for prepaid, and how much data you need.

        After subtracting the voucher, this plan costs you the equivalent of $39 per month. That’s good value if you need 300GB, but if you currently pay less per month, and don’t need that much data, it’s not great value.

        Other considerations are whether you’re happy to stay on a 24 month contract, and if not, if you have the cash on hand to buy the phone outright.

        Math: 89 * 24 = 2136 - 1200 = 936 / 24 = 39

        • G-rig on 03/10/2024 - 11:08

          Yeah don't know many people who would want to be on a two year contract and still have to buy a phone outright as well.

          • Hargain Bunter on 03/10/2024 - 11:12

            @G-rig: You get a $1200 voucher to cover most of the cost of the phone. You just effectively pay for that voucher over the contract via the high cost of the plan.

            • G-rig on 03/10/2024 - 14:26

              @Hargain Bunter: Yeah all the same, not a super deal if you cancel the plan (or if you keep it and don't need 300gb per month.

              • Hargain Bunter on 03/10/2024 - 16:05

                @G-rig: After reading through the comments: the real deal is signing up for the contract, getting the $1200 voucher, then cancelling it straight away and paying the $766 early termination fee.

    • cryptos on 02/10/2024 - 21:11
      -2

      Don't see how this would work now…

      The Voucher Repayment Fee is a pro-rata amount, equal to the total amount of the base
      Voucher divided by 24 and multiplied by the months (or part months) remaining in your
      Voucher Term. For example, if received a voucher with a 24-month Voucher Term, then in:
      (a) Month 1: You will need to repay 23/24 of the Voucher you received;
      (b) Month 12: You will need to repay 11/24 of the Voucher you received; and
      (c) Month 23: You will need to repay 1/24 of the Voucher you received.

              (Or $344 if you manage to get the $89 refunded), and you still don't get a handset.

              If they actually amended the cis to match the voucher amount it would be totally pointless - not sure why they haven't after the last deal with the S24U & pixel 9 xl.

              • Dalryk on 03/10/2024 - 07:29

                @G-rig: It's not so much ammending the piece of paper as it is updating the backend systems that support it all. And while it sounds easy enough in theory, Telstra almost certainly already has a giant backlog of "features" they need their custom-built platform to support, and this sort of thing probably isn't high priority.

                • G-rig on 03/10/2024 - 07:41

                  @Dalryk: Yes so it's not in the CIS contract then don't worry. It's almost like the JB staff were trying to get you to sign and understand the printed piece of paper with the cis table but it isn't legally binding so just ignore.

        • encryptededdy on 03/10/2024 - 00:39

          • SirFrankGrimes on 03/10/2024 - 06:00

            @encryptededdy: Yes, but the voucher repayment fee doesn’t change

          • G-rig on 03/10/2024 - 06:21

            @encryptededdy: It may say that and they will tell you that but if it's not in the actual CIS table which forms part of the contract then it's irrelevant. You can also view the telstra contract from the app and it just says $800 (not $1200 or $1700 from the other deal).

        Port to another service provider and pay $766 voucher repayment fee.

        if you are going to kill the plan, just don't port. get a new number.

    • cryptos on 02/10/2024 - 21:27

      So did you use the voucher before cancelling? I guess telstra cannot cancel the voucher right? Im looking to buy a phone, then cancel plan as described..

    • Daabido on 02/10/2024 - 21:41

      I though they stopped refunding the first month via Telstra/JB chat.

      • SirFrankGrimes on 02/10/2024 - 21:51

        Depends who you get. Some will do it, others won’t. I’ve had far better luck on the Telstra chat

        I went in store.

        Did JB, walked across the road to Telstra. Cancelled the contract, paid the ETF. They said the 99 was still processing and if it doesn't get refunded in a couple days just come back in. Couldn't be stuffed going back in, did their online chat thing, spoke to someone for like 30 seconds and they were no wuckin' furries about it and processed the refund quicksmart, came through the next day.

        • AshB on 03/10/2024 - 10:14

          Where do you need to pay the ETF.? Is it to Telstraor JB..?

      Of course a 1200 voucher is only worth 1080 or less in cash

      • G-rig on 03/10/2024 - 09:47

        How do you figure that out, you could buy something at JB with it for $1200 and even return it (but not for cash).

    • elonmusk69 on 02/10/2024 - 22:37

      whats your trick to get $89 refunded ?

    • fozzie on 03/10/2024 - 00:15

      I bought iPad with a similar deal but the first month wasn’t refunded :(

      can you get 89 refund ? i thought not

      • G-rig on 03/10/2024 - 10:02

        So you want a mobile plan or not lol

      but isn't 1200-763=437

      437 is close to 440 not 450 right

        Some people need a phone with a calculator hey

      • TheDukeOfNukem on 03/10/2024 - 12:16

        440 is close to 450 right?

        I wouldn't round up to 440, sounds weird. I'd either say the exact thing or round up to the next notable increment, in this case, 450.

        But I also used a 10 buck Perks voucher when I paid for the iPhone so my memory is skewed ever so slightly that extra tenner.

          Well if you keep going like this you round 450 into 500 but apparently 437 is not going to be rounded as 500

          But I also used a 10 buck Perks voucher when I paid for the iPhone so my memory is skewed ever so slightly that extra tenner.

          I believe this is the true reason of thinking 437 as 450. I've never seen anyone rounds 43x into 450 so far in business

    costs $39 per month after you pay for the $1200 gift card….

    • DryScissors on 03/10/2024 - 03:17

      But no one pays full value for JB Hi-Fi gift cards, so the formula needs to be adjusted

  • NoPainNoBargain on 02/10/2024 - 21:09

    Does anyone know if the 30 days period applies to only tesltra sim or boost as well ? I port out of Telstra a month back to boost and from boost to amaysim a week back.

    • xt20 on 03/10/2024 - 16:30

      I ported Boost to Optus yesterday night and back to Telstra/JB this afternoon. No issue.

    For everyone trying to get this and cancel for the free cash, the T&C's seem to say you've got to repay the entire voucher cost. I'm not understanding how you're going to get any amount for free if the entire voucher has to be repaid?
