      No no, it’s because the CIS doesn’t get updated to $1200. This remains at $800 despite whatever promo JB runs

  • Aap Ke Papa on 02/10/2024 - 21:13

    Cancel deal? If we cancel, what happens to the number?

    • BargainsGrabber on 02/10/2024 - 21:14

      We lose it

      It doesn't make sense. So can I request a new number with this deal or not?

          Why not? A phone can act as a hotspot and a lot of older folks don’t have a laptop or computer so they just they smartphones to connect to the internet.

        • omblygombly on 03/10/2024 - 08:41

          I did this for a month a while ago. The speed through the phone I was using was 3x what I was getting on the NBN. But it kills the battery life of your phone. It would be better to use it with a modem.

        • inherentchoice on 03/10/2024 - 10:25

          I would also like to know this. Some companies say no in their T&Cs and will disconnect you if it's used in a 4g/5g modem/router.

          Edit: I found this in their T&Cs:

          Your Service, and the allowances included with your service, are for personal and small business use in a smartphone only.

          But weirdly the CIS says smartphone or tablet.

    • Save 50 Cent on 02/10/2024 - 21:52

      Just think of it as an ‘unlimited data’ plan which the rest of the world has had for years.
      Was good not having to check my data usage for two years when I had this. I didn’t even bother connecting to wifi at home until i wanted to use the local network as 5g was much faster.

    According to the jb websit: “If you cancel or move to a lower cost plan then you'll need to pay a JB Hi-Fi Gift Card Repayment Fee pro-rated against the remaining months of your plan’s minimum term if your plan came with a JB Hi-Fi Gift Card at the time of purchase.”

          You only have to pay $766.59 voucher repayment fee if you cancel the plan or port the number to another service provider. Once you cancel your plan, you can contact Telstra to get an $89 refund.

            @jimojr: Contact Telstra from the Telstra website? Do you only get the refund if you cancel straight away? I have mine for over half a month alrdy.

              +1

              @cheapskateasianchic: Yes, chat on their website. I cancelled the plan straight away and contacted them 3 times before getting $99 refund. My friend cancelled the plan after 3 days and got a refund on the first chat 5 days later. Neither of us used the SIM card.

              • fadzsolz on 03/10/2024 - 07:52

                @jimojr: and you paid the $800 voucher fee not the extended value?

              • cheapskateasianchic on 04/10/2024 - 22:08

                @jimojr: I tried getting the refund via the JB mobile app at the start but that was unsuccessful. Lucky to read your comment, the customer rep I spoke to at Telstra refunded the $99.

    • CheapGPT on 02/10/2024 - 21:28

      The fine print on the image says:
      “The $1200 JB Hi-Fi Gift Card will replace the value of the Voucher stated in the Critical Information Summary If you cancel or move to a lower cost/different plan then you must pay a Voucher Repayment Fee to Telstra pro-rated against the remaining months of your plan's minimum term.”
      Let’s hope they don’t replace the voucher value in CIS.

    Would this be the cheapest way to buy and iPhone 16 pro at the moment? Signup and cancel for the "free" $400. Then use the voucher + 5% discounted JB giftcards.
    E.G. Iphone 16 pro 256gb is $1997 - $400 = $1597 x 95% = $1517.15.

    Any way to get it cheaper? My previous plan was to price match costco at officeworks and use 10-15% discounted ultimate giftcards (when/if they ever return) however this seems better.

    • safio on 02/10/2024 - 21:41

      Also, is it guaranteed that you'll get the first month's $89 refunded by Telstra if you do it immediately?

      • Pulseless on 02/10/2024 - 22:08

          So you had already cancelled your plan or you don’t cancel until they promise to refund the first month at the same time?

      I bought two iPads a few months back and couldn’t get the first month back. Tried with 2 different chats. If I go ahead with this deal tomorrow I’ll try my luck but I’m thinking it’s more likely to be pay $889 and get $1200 vouchers (still amazing).

    • G-rig on 03/10/2024 - 06:42

      A trade in and/or mobile plan deal would be better, like with the pixels.

        But you need a VPN to hide that you are hotspotting

        • inherentchoice on 03/10/2024 - 10:32

          So is hotspotting banned for this SIM/contract? If yes then technically you can't do it without breaching the contract, even if it is still physically possible to do it with a VPN or similar.

    • bigbadboogieman on 03/10/2024 - 07:37

      Question: what 5G modem is cheap, good quality and works with Telstra?

    I'm currently looking at the s24 ultra 1tb & if you sign up to this plan you currently receive $1500 off. Does anyone know if this $1200 gift card & bonus $300 gift card will be additional to the $1500 off?

    • ShinyDiamond on 02/10/2024 - 22:40

      If true, that would be the deal of the year :)

    • OZBsince2018 on 02/10/2024 - 22:44

      Yes. Thats correct. $300 GC with the phone will be on top of the $1200 voucher, but you cannot use the $300 GC to reduce or pay the for the phone.

      The website mentions something about an app on the watch, so maybe not?

      https://www.telstra.com.au/support/mobiles-devices/use-manag…

      With Bluetooth turned on, pair your Google Pixel Watch to your phone
      When prompted during setup, confirm your Telstra One Number subscription, and your Google Pixel Watch will automatically connect to the Telstra network.

      Maybe you can move it to a modem after pairing to a watch?

  • StealaDeal on 02/10/2024 - 22:35

  • Adriftx on 02/10/2024 - 22:39

    Am I stupid in thinking of getting this with their mobile broadband plan?

    Plan 1 for moible) 89 x 24 months = 2136 - 1200 voucher = 936 for 24 months
    Plan 2 for home internet) 69 x 24 months = 1656 - 500 voucher = 1156 for 24 months

    Essentially getting uncapped 5g speeds with 500 GB data to use every month along with mobile connection for $87 per month together, if I am going to spend $1700 at JB anyway.

    • congo on 03/10/2024 - 12:51

    So wait am I correct in thinking for for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra:

    $1887
    - $1500 ($1500 off)
    + $89 (First month)
    + $89 (Second month)
    + $763 (Cancellation)
    = $1328 + $1500 JB Hi-Fi gift cards?

    • OZBsince2018 on 02/10/2024 - 23:02

      Thats not correct. You are double counting $1500. Also you only need to pay $89 for the 1st month and can cancel then before 2nd payment is charged.

      • Mani88 on 02/10/2024 - 23:04

        Sorry how am I double counting the $1500? I thought you get $1500 off the phone when you sign up to the $89 plan, and then the $300 giftcard + 1200 giftcard. Is that not right?

    • Bonbi on 02/10/2024 - 23:07

      Where are you even getting the $1500 from?

      • Mani88 on 02/10/2024 - 23:11

        Sorry, I might've confused you. I meant

        $1887
        - $1500 ($1500 off)
        + $89 (Second month)
        + $763 (Cancellation)
        = $1239 (the amount I have to pay)

        I also get $300 giftcard + $1200 giftcard = $1500 worth of giftcards
