    If I cancel this do I pay $895 or $2495 and then do I get a gift card??? How to do this method in store?

        Max voucher repayment fee is $800. But in the past I’ve got the first months charge refunded so it’s just $800. Really good imo

    $800 for a 512gb s25+ provided you get the first months charge $99 refunded. That’s good as.

        Stop spreading misinformation if you don't know what you're talking about. This deal has been going on for years. Telstra don't know jb gave you a phone. All they care about is that you're cancelling a 99 per month plan, which in the CIS has a maximum voucher repayment fee of $800. If you don't believe me, go into jb, ask to see the CIS for the S25+ $99 plan and read what it says.

        Have a great day!

          So you're basically saying that in the case of plan cancellation even in the first month. That JB Hi-Fi is giving away a $1687 smartphone for absolutely free and not seeking any money back for it?. That they are going to say no worries mate keep the expensive smartphone for absolutely free with no device repayment.

          And that you only have to pay Telstra a measly $800 cancellation fee to cancel the plan. Sounds like a piss poor business decision by JB. It doesn't sound right to me there's no way that JB is going to take that loss.

          Then JB is taking a hugh loss with every plan cancellation if they aren't seeking any money back for the handset. Yeah sure.

            @hollykryten: They're not giving it away for free, you pay $766 for it.
            And plenty have done it before so not sure why people keep doubting it …
            There used to be a time when the ETC was even lower …

            But actually the less people take this up, the less chance they fix the loophole, so sure I wouldn't try if I were you..

          • kierann on 12/02/2025 - 16:08

            @hollykryten: I think you'll find JB get a significant kickback from Telstra for selling you the plan, that's why you have to pay Telstra the voucher repayment fee.

  • ubiq on 23/01/2025 - 06:59

    No ultra deal?

      Ultra deal is $1700 off i assume the pre order price of $2100 or so.

      So pay 400 or so on day then $800 to cancel

    What I don't understand is, how can you port your number, instore, before the deal ends on 13 February, when the phone's release date is 14 February?

    • niggardly on 23/01/2025 - 07:59

      The numner porting is related to your telstra contract / sim. Nothing to do with a phone

      • Grandslam on 23/01/2025 - 08:06

        Oh ok. So you go in today and port your number, and they give you the phone when it arrives on 14 February?

        " Coupon discount of $200 applies to the current ticketed pre-order price of one Samsung Galaxy S25, 25+ or Ultra phone."

        The picture also clearly shows the $200 difference with any of the model.

        • mikey43 on 23/01/2025 - 10:46

          Itll work off the advertised price

        • LostyJai on 23/01/2025 - 15:11

          You can't deduct $200 from $0. They're not going to give you $200 to buy the phone.

  • superforever on 23/01/2025 - 10:05

    How much if cancel within 1 month?

    • hollykryten on 23/01/2025 - 14:52
      -6

      If you cancel the plan you'll have to repay the cost of the handset since you broke the contract. Since the handset is currently $1687 so that's quite expensive. Basically you buy the handset outright then. So really it's a marketing trick as you're paying a hidden device repayment fee factored into the monthly $99 plan charge. In the end the handset is not really free. They're just tricking you into thinking that it's free. It's a reason why the plan is so expensive. You're making hidden device repayments with every monthly plan fee. You cancel the plan contract, you buy the phone.

      "No Lock-in Plan

      Telstra's month-to-month, no lock-in mobile plans give you the flexibility to change your plan size once a month, to suit your data needs. You can also cancel your plan anytime. If you leave, simply pay out your device."

    Which is better value for money?

    S25 on $79 plan
    S25+ on $99 plan
    S25 ultra on $99 plan + $437 (or $237 whatever the case may be)

    They are all 512GB models and no upfront cost for the S25 and S25+.

    • Grandslam on 25/01/2025 - 20:55

      I ordered the s25+ today. I prefer it to the ultra, as it's a bit smaller and easier to fit in your pocket. Cheaper too.

      • CodeXD on 25/01/2025 - 21:39

          This is true, I went from S23U to S24 only to be disappointed in the camera. I wish Samsung do S Ultra in smaller form as well like iPhone pro model, I would be really happy if they get rid of the S-pen to make the phone smaller.

          • CodeXD on 29/01/2025 - 00:52

            @yummypinacolada: I wish Samsung would do what google is doing with Pixel 9 Pro, have top specs in a smaller phone, and still have Pixel 9 Pro XL for those who want larger screen.

      • Shahw on 25/01/2025 - 21:49

        @Grandslam did you port in or signup with a new number?

        • Grandslam on 26/01/2025 - 02:01

          I bought a $5 Aldi Sim, and ported across with that.

  • Someguyhere on 25/01/2025 - 22:34

    So do you cancel the plan online right after placing the preorder in store? Or do I need to wait for the phone to arrive?

  • KLD19 on 25/01/2025 - 22:51
    +13

    got this today (S25+ 512GB)

    steps:
    1. drive to aldi store and purchase $5 PAYG Starter Kit
    2. follow steps to activate sim. did this in the parking lot and it took about 5 mins to fill in customer details + 15 mins to fully activate and receive a mobile number while I was driving to JB
    3. drive to jb store. sign up to $99 plan and transfer aldi number to jb mobile. took around 20mins
    4. ~2hrs later when I got home, spoke to Telstra support via chat and cancelled the service. charged $766.59
    5. after cancelling, Telstra chat asked if there is anything else they can help with. I asked for the $99 first month to be refunded because I could use the money. they immediately obliged.

    total cost in the end is Aldi PAYG $5 + Telstra cancellation fee $766.59 = $771.59. I probably spent 5hours in effort understanding this process and going through it

    many thanks to Ozbargain!

    • rajabag on 26/01/2025 - 08:39

      Do the allow port in from boost? Both boost and Aldi are telstra network. Any chance JB can cancel mobile phone after you cancel mobile no as the phone is not delivered yet and JB has access to the cancelled numbers?

    • seamonkey on 27/01/2025 - 05:51

      probably the clearest explanation I've seen on this thread. What do you suspect would've been your cost had you have done everything exactly the same but rather opted for an Ultra 512GB?

      • Spizz on 27/01/2025 - 10:16

        You need to contact Telstra to cancel the plan and pay your $771-$870 termination fee to them, otherwise you are stuck paying the $99 for 2 years.

        • CodeXD on 27/01/2025 - 10:41

  • NickNick on 28/01/2025 - 15:05

    I am so confused why you have chance talk to Telstra to cancel the mobile service straightly after you signed contract with JB? I mean i understand JB mobile is based on Telstra network but the user' account information is managed by JB but not Telstra, right? Like if you are on woolies mobile plan you can not ask Telstra to cancel your plan by passing Woolies account management right?

    • flagger on 29/01/2025 - 11:14

      It's a JB branded plan, but managed by Telstra. You can login to the Telstra members site or the JB mobile site. The JB mobile site provides more info such as amount of data used. Both use the same Telstra ID.

  • appro on 30/01/2025 - 09:05

    Can an Aldi sim definitely be used to port?

    • flagger on 30/01/2025 - 12:14

      Yes. See above. I was told by the JB guy don't use Woolworths to port as they take ages.

    • f38r1 on 07/02/2025 - 19:08

      Aldi definitely can, and the cheapest option out there.

      With Optus $2 SIM u need to buy $12 credit to activate.

      The SIM needs to be activated and able to receive SMS as they going to send you OTP to verify when doing porting.

  • here2rock on 30/01/2025 - 20:50

    • sajuuk on 31/01/2025 - 13:06

      Don't activate and use the sim. Just use the "My Telstra" app and chat. Once you've signed the contract, leave JB Hifi store, you can cancel the contract straight away in the parking lot.

      No, the phone is the same stock as if anyone walked in there and said they want to purchase the phone outright. They go get it off the back shelf and that's it. The phone isn't linked to the plan, only the voucher that you pay for it with.

    Thank you for the confirmation, XXX.

    Once I raise a request to cancel the service number you will receive a invoice pop up with your mail within 24-48 business hours and you can pay for it.

    We'll send an invoice to XXXXX@XX*****.com.au . We'll debit the amount from your default payment method if you haven't paid within 10 days.

    I will help you with refund$99 to your account you will receive with in 3-5 business days.

    Looks like the Telstra CSOs have caught on to the $99 return. They keep referring me back to JB Hifi to ask them for my months return back. Said if JB put a note on my account to authorise a return then they can do it.

    I may be unlucky, seems like the same person who chatted me yesterday evening is somehow the person I had this morning too. Agents putting in long shift…

    Has anyone had luck today doing it?

  • Hunty100 on 04/02/2025 - 12:10

    Hi all. Ive read all the various posts. But im still concerned that if cancell will be charged the $1700 (for the ultra deal). Reading the website this value replaces the dollar value of the $800 on the telstra t&cs. I was also told this by a store employee….. Help im so confused.

    Can you return the phone for a JB gift card?

    If this interests anyone.
    I was denied the $99 refund, even after I gave a sob story. However I then asked if they could credit my telstra account instead. They said "No worries, Let me see if i can help you out with this, can you please share me a screenshot of the payment".
    So this might be a viable refund option for those who have telstra accounts with them.

    • CodeXD on 05/02/2025 - 11:24

      Good idea.

      Telstra credit can then be used to pay off the cancellation fee so works out the same as refund back to you anyway

      • zekeyoung99 on 05/02/2025 - 12:31

        Great point.
        Unfortunately/fortunately for me, I actually haven't been charged the $99 yet, so I'm unable to provide a screenshot of the payment (I didn't realise until I went looking for the receipt).
        I guess I've got to hold off on the request until I do get charged.

    I'm kinda looking for a large data plan for cheap.
    from what I can see this plan is 99x24 which is 2376.
    It comes with a free phone value 1700.
    The difference is 676/24 months is $28 per month for 300gb of data.
    Will it be hard to sell the phone?
    Can I get a $1700 JB voucher instead of this phone?
