    Looking to get plan and new iPhone. With $1200 and the $89, seems decent. Would there be anything better for Boxing day or New Year's day sales? Like $1400 or discount on Iphones?
    My reasoning is, with the $1200 cc, it reduces monthly cost to $39 for the 2 years. So outright phone plus cheap sim plan or this, I worked out it's about the same but on telstra 5G network.

      That’s the selling point, but $1200 cannot be further discounted by other gift cards if you buy at 10 or 15% off.

          Some do. I cancelled my home internet and now use my phone's hotspot for 90% of my internet access. The other 10% is using cheap prepaid cards for when I need my computers to have internet when I'm not there.
          Saves me $70/mth.

    • avinit86 on 23/12/2024 - 10:40

      Yes

      I just switched back to Optus from Telstra last month with the $120 prepaid deal. My connection is inferior by quite a margin.

      I will probably go for this deal.
      I can claim 100% on tax, both phone and plan, but claim full cost of the phone.
      So the effective cost is a lot lower.
      $1200 is effectively $50 a month. Makes the plan $39 a month plus a full priced phone if you use your voucher, all of which is deductible for some.

      Also, something something voucher cost.

      • easternculture on 23/12/2024 - 10:52

        but claim full cost of the phone.

        You cab only claim full cost for items under $300.

        Over $300, you use the depreciation method.

          It’s a question of what the phone is needed and used for.

          Since over $300 it should be depreciated over its useful life rather than a straight up deduction if for an individual, not sure about business tax.

          But should also be apportioned for personal/work use generally.

        You can claim any phone plan on your tax, whether it's a prepaid plan that costs you $10/month or a premium $100/month plan.

        Personally, I'd rather spend less on my phone plan

      • iDroid on 23/12/2024 - 19:21

        Vodafone (via Kogan) IMO is FAR superior to Optus in every way. It's just the right cost vs performance for myself - 12 month 500GB plan cost me around $150 - $250 or so a year (usually get it on special), 4G performance is perfectly acceptable at all time (in SA where I live and visit). It's on special right now for $219 for 500GB 12 month prepaid.

    • eltito on 23/12/2024 - 10:42

      So specifically for this type of deals, I think people try to sell the vouchers which lowers the average cost of the plan. Also, people with their own business/abn etc usually can claim a portion of their plan as business expense.

      Personally, I use Woolworths mobile ($40 a month), which uses the Telstra network. It's the best alternative for a decent priced plan on the Telstra network.

      • Frozensage on 23/12/2024 - 10:50

        I use ww for the 10% off each month which is about $20, effectively free mobile, but I might sign up as a second number so I can have a faster data and claim it against the business, after GST, 30% and gc, works out to be about $14 a month.

      • Nuggets on 23/12/2024 - 13:35

        I know someone who can claim $90 a month from work for their personal phone plan. So they sign up to one of these every 2 years and pocket the $1200.

    • BargainBogan99 on 23/12/2024 - 10:45

      I pay like <$20 per month for telstra so i dont understand this either unless its to get the giftcard but would need someone to explain the rate.

        The expensive plan includes handset repayments. If you want a new phone on a cheaper plan you usually have to pay extra. This deal works for JB because you have to spend your voucher with them, you're locked in for 2 years, and it's harder to change your plan afterwards because you need to use the JB Mobile App

    • p1 ama on 23/12/2024 - 10:51

      I only pay $39 for 100GB at Optus.

      This is $89 / month for 24 months, with $1,200 gift card back, so ($89 * 24 - 1,200) / 24 = $39

      So it's the same price for 300GB?

      300GB is a lot of data, unless you are using it for home internet which is also wrong and a more expensive solution.

      Just because you do not need 300GB of data per month does not mean that others do not.

      • BinaryPirate on 23/12/2024 - 12:22

        Indeed. I have 360Gb & could easily do with another 150-200/mth.

      I pay $25 for 50GB on Optus no plan and that's more than enough for me seeing as i'm mostly logged into home Wifi anyway. Sure the Coverage isn't quite as good as Telstra but it's rarely bothered me. I hate PLANS and i swore i would never to go on a Telstra plan again years ago when they stuffed me around. I buy my phones outright but i can see this deal would appeal to some already suckered into the Telstra Network if it's the only option for a decent signal. I'm sure they have some bloatware that makes $89/month seem more appetizing.

      • retnup on 26/12/2024 - 12:29

        Felix brah

    • John on 23/12/2024 - 13:12

      Your comparison is flawed. If you compare the 2 years difference you'd pay $936 over 2 years at $39/m. Whereas with this you'd pay $2,136 over 2 years but with $1,200 GC bringing it down to $936. So really, you are spending the same in the end except that you won't get access to Telstra network and that you are getting 1/3rd of the data.

      Also the true bargain lies in the cancellation hack, which has been discussed numerous times in previous threads

    • Freestyle on 23/12/2024 - 17:28

    • whitey1212 on 24/12/2024 - 00:58

      I agree with you! I couldn't possibly see myself ever spending $90/month on a phone plan.

      I'm on a Woolies mobile 6 month plan which auto tops up and get 100gb for $100. $15/month for 15gb per month is way more than enough for me and I usually get that $15 back if I organise my grocery trips properly.

          As mentioned in many deals and an FAQ created here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/866578

          The Voucher isn’t the same as the Voucher Repayment Fee. While they said they’ll replace the $800 voucher with $1200, this hasn’t happened at all. You can always ask for a CIS to be printed prior to you signing the final page

          • jonomatic on 23/12/2024 - 11:57

            @BargainsGrabber: This is correct. I doubted it recently because the wording looks like the repayment amount adapts to the higher voucher value but it doesn’t. Anyone can always ask them to confirm in store before you sign up to anything

      Telstra annouced earlier in the year that they have opened up watch Sims to Telstra wholesale customers.

      Apparently tangerine mobile is going to be one of the first to implement it.

      So I think it's now just on the wholesaler to update their systems to support it.

      I guess what I'm saying it, it should be coming soonish… Hopefully.

        Can the $5 Sim card be used with any phone instead of an Apple watch?

        • mctock on 25/12/2024 - 10:32

          It’s not like that. It’s a $5 add-on to another plan, using that plan’s data.

          • KirKoloft on 25/12/2024 - 12:10

            @mctock: So it's just a data sim card? Can't make calls or send text messages?

            • mctock on 25/12/2024 - 23:58
              +1

              @KirKoloft: There’s no physical SIM card involved. For $5 a month, if you have a cellular-enabled Apple Watch, you can have your watch access the network, use data, make and receive calls, using the number for your phone.

              So, one can go out for a run without taking one’s phone, and still be reachable, still download something to listen to, etc.

              It’s a function that Telstra, Optus and Voda don’t open up to their MNVO’s. as someone else has said in this thread, it’s pretty much the only reason left not to go with an MNVO.

              For me, this gift card deal helps ease the pain of paying Telstra prices.

              Now, if you’re looking for an Apple Watch that isn’t paired to a particular phone, you should check out what they now call “Apple Watch for your kids”, which gets the watch itself its own number. https://www.apple.com/au/apple-watch-for-your-kids/
