    Will be interested if they include international calling

    • Pateljigarr on 03/10/2024 - 13:54

      Same here Roger , I was thinking to get add on on top so the plan will be from 89$ to 99$

  • worldwidehappiness on 03/10/2024 - 13:58

    HOTSPOTTING: There are a few reports in this thread that JB Hi-Fi severely throttles the data speed when hotspotting. Is this the experience of everyone here who does a lot of hotspotting? I use hotspotting all day on Amaysim and previously on Telstra and there has been no problem with them. What's the point of offering 300gb if you can't use your phone's hotspot feature?

    am i getting this right? for $800 you get a new phone and $1200 worth of gc?

    • G-rig on 03/10/2024 - 14:29

      Wrong. No phone included. You only make $400 if you cancel the plan . If you need the data then keep plan and buy new phone with $1200 voucher. You're just paying it off over time. Or just keep the phone and Sim you have and stop spending money haha.

      Nothing is free

  • Stuy95 on 03/10/2024 - 14:44

    How long does the sign up process take? I’ll only be able to make it to a store at 8.30pm - longer than 30 mins?

    • 2oldforthis on 03/10/2024 - 14:52

      Mine took just under 30min. You should be fine assuming there’s a store rep who knows what they’re doing.

    Who else has paid an ETC at $799 this deal or last? I have never been asked for $767 that 95% people are referring to

    • unity1 on 03/10/2024 - 14:51

      I just cancelled and was quoted $799.92. It should be the same figure for everybody. I'll have to check my invoice when it comes and see how much they are asking.

      • lyychee on 03/10/2024 - 15:20

        Interested to hear if you get charged/refunded the $89 first month cost.

        • unity1 on 03/10/2024 - 15:39

          No they just refused to refund $89. I don't get getting charged a higher termination fee.

          • lyychee on 03/10/2024 - 15:47

            @unity1: I don't get it either
            however I have had the first months charge removed.
            Give it a day or 2 to then see your results

            • unity1 on 03/10/2024 - 15:52

              @lyychee: It would be good it that happened. I'll have to wait and see. So was the chage just removed or did you ask for it to be removed?

    • Meteor Anarcom on 03/10/2024 - 15:00

      Mine is $766.59

      • nnaa8287 on 03/10/2024 - 16:20

        How is yours 766 compared to others paying 800?

    • cdscjy on 03/10/2024 - 15:05

      I cancelled this morning and was asked 766 AUD.

    • TrPha1310 on 03/10/2024 - 22:22

      Tried, got quoted $766.59

      So basically we paid $855.59 (766.59+89) for $1200 JB GC.

      ~28.7% off.

  • mr_asstight on 03/10/2024 - 14:55

    if I port out of my number on day 1 of the deal is that the same as cancelling? or, do I have to call up Telstra to cancel?

    • Meteor Anarcom on 03/10/2024 - 15:00

      you can ask Telstra online chat to cancel

    • PR0r on 03/10/2024 - 15:02

      Wouldn't it make sense not to sign up with your number to begin with? Just sign up with a new number.

  • Meteor Anarcom on 03/10/2024 - 14:58

    Succeed to go through the early termination. And that 766.59 fee can be paid by Vanilla Visa by multiple instalments.

    • nnaa8287 on 03/10/2024 - 15:21

      How did you cancel the sim?

      • Meteor Anarcom on 03/10/2024 - 15:29

        Use My Telstra app, find Get help-Chat now, and just start the chat say I want an early termination for 24 months JB HiFi plan

        • Poor Ass on 03/10/2024 - 15:32

          And that 766.59 fee can be paid by Vanilla Visa by multiple instalments.

          like via online chat or you can go to a website and type in the amount each time?

          • Meteor Anarcom on 03/10/2024 - 15:34

            @Poor Ass: All can be done on My Telstra app. Just be quick when you pay using gift cards, I've used several then it started to decline my payment.

            • Poor Ass on 03/10/2024 - 15:34

              @Meteor Anarcom: well I think after 2or3 it will decline for fraud but next day should be ok

              what amounts did you pay in and different cards? how many?

              • Meteor Anarcom on 03/10/2024 - 15:38

                @Poor Ass: I tried to use up few remaining bucks on multiple cards, 4 or 5 cards. I guess it just triggered some risk alerts automatically

    • nnaa8287 on 03/10/2024 - 16:35

      Is there any offer on vanilla visa? I saw it some where but Dont remember where I noticed that 10% off

      • test8888 on 03/10/2024 - 17:08

        last week in Coles VIC/TAS

    • life is suffering on 03/10/2024 - 16:44

      Wait you can pay by instalments ?

    • Partypants on 03/10/2024 - 18:20

      Did you pay straight away? They said it's auto payment in 10 days. And there is no option to pay now

      • Meteor Anarcom on 03/10/2024 - 20:05

        I use My Telstra app on an Android phone. You can click "View details and pay" , then "Pay now", and you will see there's an option of "Pay an instalment", if you are using the app.

        If you have already tried that, then it might be some privileges for exsiting Telstra customer? I have no idea if you don't have this option in the app.

        • Partypants on 03/10/2024 - 20:08

          After cancel you paid yourself on app by split ? Cuz i asked to customer service they said that there is no split payment 😓

          • Meteor Anarcom on 03/10/2024 - 20:44

            @Partypants: I think they meant something like afterpay or zip. I asked that but they didn't answer, they just told me an invoice would be issued. Then I found that straight away

            • Partypants on 03/10/2024 - 20:45

              @Meteor Anarcom: I just did cheer! But customer service said that i have to repay value my jb gift care. Can ignore that saying ?

              • Meteor Anarcom on 03/10/2024 - 20:48

                @Partypants: That was that $767 for. This is the repayment fee for the plan. It normally is $800 but JB Hi-Fi is doing promotion for $400 more. You may check CIS page to confirm that. I checked that when I signed in store

  • Shibuya on 03/10/2024 - 15:05

    Has anyone signed up multi numbers? Says max 3 per customer.

    • cdscjy on 03/10/2024 - 15:06

      You can if you want, but be mindful it might hurt your credit ranking. I booked and cancelled twice today.

    • Splashtash on 03/10/2024 - 15:07

      Doing it now . Buying iPhone for $1934 16 pro max 256gb
      Or thinking actual cost is just under $1300 ^^

      • cdscjy on 03/10/2024 - 15:23

        Mate you did it twice and both with 89 AUD first month fee waived?

      • Fancydancer on 03/10/2024 - 15:27

        I thought pro max was $2147?

        • Splashtash on 03/10/2024 - 15:58

        • sonson99 on 03/10/2024 - 15:33

          can spend the gift card whenever you want, jb cards dont expire iirc. You can use any phone you like :)

  • dongltron on 03/10/2024 - 15:19

      How would that effect your credit? Must be something else going on surely

      • cdscjy on 03/10/2024 - 15:26

        Apparently doing this multiple times affects your credit review. Or they just won't sign you up on a new plan knowing that you've cancelled a few times the similar contacts.

        • dongltron on 03/10/2024 - 15:29

          Yup. That, a couple credit card applications, and I moved to Brisbane, all within a 3 month period. A combination of all those factors, I'd say.

    Signed up and received the $1200 gc but was not charged upfront the $89 fee.
    Cancelled the plan 1.5 hours later in Telstra shop and cancellation fee was told will be ~$800 and will be deducted from bank account.

    • G-rig on 03/10/2024 - 16:45

      Correct but you keep the $1200 voucher

    • PR0r on 03/10/2024 - 18:11

      So what's the go with the first month, do you pay $89 when it's eventually due?

  • YJae on 03/10/2024 - 16:27

    Hi, sorry if this is a dumb question but I have just went to the store ASAP after seeing this deal without reading much and was able to sign up twice and got 2x $1200 gift card voucher. My question is what’s my next step now ? Do I have to contact specifically JB HI FI mobile or My Telstra to cancel ? I messaged JB hi fi and was told I will be charged $766.59 x 2 to cancel both my plans. Should I proceed ? Also how do I claim back the $89 upfront fee ? Thank you in advanced

    • fozzie on 03/10/2024 - 16:36

      Either of them. Try to get the $89 back but last I wasn’t successful

      • YJae on 03/10/2024 - 16:38

        Thank you ! Also did you cancel your plan or you don’t cancel until they say they will refund the first month at the same time?

        • fozzie on 03/10/2024 - 17:11

          First time I just cancelled. I didn’t know I could get first month back. So when I went back they refused.

    • Spets on 03/10/2024 - 17:09

      Did you sign up twice at the same time?

      • YJae on 03/10/2024 - 17:10

        Yep the guy that was helping me out was super cool and even asked if I wanted to proceed with the 3rd one 😂 I’m planning to get iPhone 16 pro max so I said no more than enough

        • YJae on 03/10/2024 - 17:13

          If Telstra decides to refund the up-front fees I will be saving $868 ($434x2) for 16 pro max. If not $622 ($311x2) which is still a bargain.
