Any Way to Join JB Hi-Fi Plan for Gift Card from Telstra?

I'm using Tesltra upfront plan from 2018 and they are going to get rid off my plan. I'm thinking to join JB Hi-Fi plan with a gift card by porting my existing number.
Is this the correct procedure to join JB for giftcard from Telstra?

  1. Get any prepaid(like Optus or Voda) by port in my old number from Tesltra
  2. Go JB and get a plan?

  • they are going to get rid off my plan

    Why?

    • https://quickshare.samsungcloud.com/rsYwGPa51YA7

      I don't know

      It's $69 plan but I'm paying only $49 with discounts

      Just got a email from Telstra

        They are making it 'easier' for you…
        Going from 60GB tp 5GB.

        You should send them a 'thank you' letter and some chocolates… 🤣🤣🤣

        Huh, Chaning to make things easier for "you" yeah right and dropping you from a 60gb plan to a 5gb plan. Wtf

        • So… Is that correct way to join JB plan for gift card from Telstra?
          Get any others rather than Telstra lines
          Join JB plan??

  • But yes to take the number to JB port out to another network on the cheap then port in to JB w/GC offer.

    • Thank you!

      • Amaysim has $10 options, Lebara at Coles has a $7 sim, not sure how easy Lebara is for porting in/out.
        $2 sims need recharging to become active so usually not suitable.
        Bound to be other cheap deals.

        $7 Lebara

  • Depends how much data you use, but thought about Boost or someone instead? Usually works out cheaper than going on a JB plan less giftcard, unless you're buying something from JB anyway.

  • @Asgard I am unable PM you, but it looks like Telstra have aborted their mission:

    Your plan change date has been postponed.
    Sorry, xxxxxxxxxx.

    We're unable to move your services to our new plans.

    There isn't anything for you to do.

    We'll be in touch again soon to let you know when we can move you over.

    I expect they had some pushback. Hopefully you haven't jumped ship yet.

    • Yes, I received the same email today. Luckily, haven't changed yet
      Let see what's going on after

      • In February, they informed me that I would be moved to the $62 Telstra Upfront Mobile Plan Basic 50GB with a $10 discount for six months. That was a better deal than the current offer, but that change never occurred.

        • My plan is $69 for 30gb basically. Those are the offers I've got
          $10 discount for new customer
          $10 discount for porting from Optus
          Double data for new customer (60GB)
          unlimited International call included
          Unlimited data included(very low speed)

          I don't know but somehow, those discounts got no expiry date.
          $49, 60Gb until they cancel my plan.
          Hope I can keep it another couple years…. really don't wanna miss this

          I was really shocked when I got the email from Telstra about cancellation

          • @Asgard: It seems it's back on again. Effective tomorrow!

            • @Master Bates: I already cancelled my plan because they gonna cancel it on January. So, I moved to Voda temporary.
              Couple weeks ago when it was $89 deal on JB, I went there but they said can not transfer. Because it was less than 28 days since port out from Telstra

              Feel so awful about their policy haven't mentioned on any documents
