    Total value = (99*24) + 347 = 2723 - though the JB plan does include 300gb of data per month it seems.

    Still cheaper to buy the 9xl 128gb outright for 1847 and do the $300 12 month boost recharges twice = 2447 - boost plan gives you 265 gb for the year which is approx 20gb per month

        Same, First phone in a long time that I haven't had something just really frustratingly annoying with it. Samsung's hardware is awesome but it just gets so buggy and laggy trying to fit so much bloatware and stuff on the OS.

        This pixel just does what it's meant to do, but also some creative extra aspects that don't go overboard and don't f up your system.

        • syswong on 22/01/2025 - 06:46

          What bloatware? Been using since S9….

          Pixel hardware is way behind…
          1.148m antutu for a flagship in 2025 is criminal.

          I do rhink Samsung is hitting bottlenecks for the upcoming S25…..will see.

          • olski1 on 23/01/2025 - 03:01

            @syswong: S7 for me except one year HTC.

            It's how you utilise the hardware. Real-world performance can be influenced by factors such as software optimisation, user interface, and specific use cases. Out of the current generation smartphones, the s24 Ultra has about 55% of the top benchmark, the pixel 9 Pro is about 47%.

            For me that's not that huge a difference and also leaves plenty of room for those other real world influences to play out.

            Look they are both great phones. I'm not trying to convince anyone. I'm just stating my experience. And if you think S24, it's better and faster, I'm happy for you.

            My experience has been different. To me it just seems like there is a stronger vetting process for the software that goes on pixel before it is released. Samsung seem to just want to have it on marketing list to say ' hey, look at this great new thing', but it wasn't tested completely and caused alot of bugs, especially when trying to interact with other software that they've released. When you have so many things going on becomes increasingly hard to get it all to work in unison. There is a set of software features that the pixel 9 has that Samsung doesn't that is really quite useful and unique. The extra stuff Samsung has is more cosmetic or fun. Not necessarily useful.

            The pixel 9 is the first pixel that I believe has finally reached the balance where it has enough of the extra stuff to make it good. I had the pixel 8, but returned it for the last galaxy. It just felt really limited in terms of what you could do with it, not necessarily what the hardware can do, But at that point Samsung had the extra functionality that. I really appreciated, And still do. Pixel just grew

            I think a few years ago we sort of got to a stage where the hardware was good enough to do most things we needed to do. And so changes since then have been marginal gains and therefore maybe a difference in those benchmarks isnt as illuminating as it seems to be to you.

            My S9 and my s22 Ultra which I still use for varying things, are still really good And work fine. But I did strip them right down to avoid some of the things that I mention above

    termination cost? $800 as per other deals?

    so total would be 347 + 800 = $1147, seems okay for XL

    • salmon123 on 21/01/2025 - 15:44

      You'll probably need to pay the first month service - so closer to $1246 … not sure if you get a pro-rata refund for that.

      • huey on 21/01/2025 - 15:45

        Not if you previously held a Telstra account

        • OZBsince2018 on 21/01/2025 - 16:09

          You will pay the 1st month as its a month to month plan (not a postpaid plan), hence, the monthly fee is charged upfront every month.

          • huey on 21/01/2025 - 16:47

            @OZBsince2018: Nope, I signed up a few months ago. You cancel before it activate. Pretty sure there are 100's of discussions confirming this.

            • OZBsince2018 on 21/01/2025 - 17:02

              @huey: Didn’t know that because when I signed up for a similar deal, the amount was debited as soon as the JB Hifi rep signed me up for the contract.

              • johnmelb on 21/01/2025 - 17:06

                @OZBsince2018: Don't use the sim, then you kindly ask Telstra support (not JB HiFi support) to refund.

            • krisspy on 21/01/2025 - 17:12

              @huey: It's better to cancel the plan then ask telstra for the first month back. The 800 gets 1 month off prorata, but you get that 1 month back anyway

              • huey on 21/01/2025 - 17:25

      It's bizarre. I think there are a lot of people out there who just think they are getting a good deal because they claim a $99/month expense on their tax, and therefore actually pay more like $60/month after tax….

      Of course you can just pay $30/month on prepaid and just as legitimately claim this on your tax, effectively paying less than $20/month, depending on your tax rate, and have a while lot of spare cash for other things!

  • hollykryten on 21/01/2025 - 17:07

    I thought holy crap what an insane deal and then i saw $99/month subscription plan for 2 years. $99/month x 24 + $347 = $2723. That costs more than just buying the phone outright and then getting a cheap $15 or $20/month prepaid plan for a year or two. Who falls for this crap?. This is just a ripoff. No one needs to pay $99/month for a mobile phone plan and who is going to use 300GB of mobile data per month on a smartphone. That's why you use unlimited home NBN.

    Heck i pay $30/month through amaysim and i'm getting 55GB per month of data allowance.

        I would be very concerned if ACMA/Government/Consumer Affairs allows this kind of contract without critical fiancial checks and that there were any cheats done by the business: done to such get the consumer on the hock for such an expensive plan.
        I would be very suspicous.
        Not saying people have don't have a right to do it, just such things need proper insurances covering loss of phone/theft/damage/potential unexpected problems/ anything that would render the situation putting the consumer at a disadvantage.

        • just-human on 22/01/2025 - 03:42

          They (Telstra) do perform a credit check.

          Also while this deal may not be great, there’s nothing really misleading about it. Sometimes people just need to take some responsibility and calculate costs. They’re not making you do multivariable calculus it’s just adding and multiplying.

          • hollykryten on 22/01/2025 - 13:08

            @just-human: Yes but this is actually JB Hi-Fi mobile. It's not direct Telstra retail. Although it's just a resold Telstra plan made for JB. But JB is doing the mobile phone plan selling so they should do a credit check before selling this plan to some one.

    Can somone help me understand cancellation policy? In the fingerprint it says that you need to pay Voucher fees back which is generally $800 for $99 Plan. However, there is offer of $1100 Giftcard which will replace voucher. I don't understand how it works, do they give you gift card upfront and if you cancel the plan you need to pay back gift card value (which make sense to me). I don't see any other charges? Does it mean I can cancel the plan and return the gift card or pay value, that's all? in that case, there is no cancelation fees. Please someone help me understand.

    • johnmelb on 22/01/2025 - 11:54

      You need to pro-rata repay the voucher.
      The voucher is replaced with the gift-card, but the terms state the $800 voucher (you can see that in store when you sign up. It will not show the amount of the gift card that replaces the voucher).
      You will need to pay back (24-x)/24 x $800 with x being the number of started months on your 24 month plan. So in the first month that is 23/24 x $800 = $766.
      You have paid your monthly plan (if you do not use this sim, then cancel via JB hifi mobile chat, then a few days later ask refund via Telstra chat, you will get a refund of these monthly fees.)

    • Maths Debater on 22/01/2025 - 15:08

      Why do people keep mentioning a voucher? There is no voucher anywhere in this deal. A phone plan is not the same as a SIM only plan. They are simply selling you the phone for a discounted price for as long as you stay in the contract. Do not be fooled into thinking the cancellation fee is the same as the gift card cancellation fee, you are not getting a gift card. You have to pay off the remainder of the phones retail price if you cancel. Source: My local JB.

      • syswong on 22/01/2025 - 15:43

        If it is still done the same way, they actually generate a e-voucher when you sign up. In this promotion the e-voucher would be specifically for Pixel 9 XL.

        Perhaps you should read the CIS first, then you would know why..

        Voucher
        For eligible customers (see below for eligibility criteria)

        &

        Voucher
        To be eligible for a voucher, you must connect to a new JB Hi-Fi Mobile service or transfer an existing service from another provider (excluding The Good Guys, Telstra or Boost) and sign up to an Everyday or Premium Plan.

        The voucher will entitle you to the purchase of goods from JB Hi-Fi stores (if you are a JB Hi-Fi business customer who is eligible to receive a voucher, you may receive an equivalent value by way of a credit on your JB business account in place of the voucher). It's not transferable or redeemable for cash (including any unused part). If you cancel or move to a lower cost plan then you'll need to pay a Voucher Repayment Fee pro-rated against the remaining months of your plan’s minimum term.

        The person selling you this plan will create a gift card with the amount of the promo, then go to the checkout with you and they will swipe to reduce your payment with that amount.
