*For those that are seeking a $200 code there are some in the chat that have had success by asking the JBHIFI live chat and tell them that you lost the $200 code in your email, there are some that have received the $200 code a day later in their email as it seems they’ve added them in to send a code.

$1700 off the new s25 Ultra with the $99 p/m jbmobile plan if you port in.

$237 is only if you use the $200 samsung signup promo code otherwise it’s $437. As this is a mobile plan you go in store to signup, show them the $200 preorder code they should give you the further discount.

Plan : $237 ($437 without code) + $99 p/m over 24 months.

If you cancel: $237 + $800 + $99 =$1,136 ($1037 if you can get first months charge refunded)., you will need to pay the voucher repayment fee as stated in terms

Voucher Repayment Fee

6.2 If you received a JB Hi-Fi Voucher when you purchased your Mobile Service and you cancel
that Mobile Service within any applicable Voucher Term, you must pay us the outstanding
amounts for the JB Hi-Fi Voucher you received for the cancelled Mobile Service (the Voucher
Repayment Fee).

6.3 The Voucher Repayment Fee is a pro-rata amount, equal to the total amount of the base
Voucher divided by 24 and multiplied by the months (or part months) remaining in your
Voucher Term.

Max cancellation fee is $800. The $99 first months charge In past deals I’ve usually got this refunded though if you’re really nice, but be aware in case if you are unable to get the $99 refunded. T&C: https://www.telstra.com.au/help/critical-information-summari…

Also keep in mind this deal is for porting in your number, so if you’re planning to cancel you could get a $5 Aldi sim and port in with that.

        Personally, I'm a bit meh on galaxy devices these days. Cameras and batteries on Chinese android devices are a lot better but need to import and they're pricey.

          Yeah particularly with those new Silicon-Carbon batteries right? wouldn't have thought there cameras were too far behind though. Guess I need to refamiliarize myself with the whole smartphone scene.

            @TsundereGuy: Yeah, the silicon carbon batteries. Around 6000mah vs 5000mah in the s25 ultra. I'm looking at the vivo x200 pro and the telephoto looks insane. It does really good telemacro photos.

            Realistically, any new flagship phone will be way better than phone from a few years ago.

              @Caped Baldy: Don't forget samsung still only using 45W charging vs 100W of chinese brands

              Samsung is now just releasing the same phones each with some small improvements in hardware

              Samsung also only giving AU customers 12GB ram vs 16GB of some asian countries (fragmented specs based on region)..
              At least this year they couldn't do the same for their CPU due to low yield

            • BluebirdV on 25/01/2025 - 19:06

              @Caped Baldy: Seems like you can buy the x200 on this website https://bestmobilephone.com.au/vivo-x200-pro/?srsltid=AfmBOo…

              Is that an import?

              • Caped Baldy on 25/01/2025 - 22:00

                @BluebirdV: Yeah, all of them are imports. I saw that best mobile phones has mixed reviews. Spectronics has slightly better reviews.

        • Circly on 23/01/2025 - 10:30

          What are the top of the line chinese phones atm?

          Do they have global roms or any issues with reception bands?

              @CodeXD: For such an expensive purchase I'd be very nervous buying international models (even if global) both for warranty and potential AU telco bans…

              The Oppo Find X8 Pro is officially locally available, at a reasonable price of $1800 for the 512gb and ticks all the right boxes. The 9400 is actually a better SoC than Elite for day to day use due to better battery management.

              Camera is also neck and neck, with some wins for X8 Pro and some for 200 Pro

              • BluebirdV on 26/01/2025 - 15:48

                @OpayuOnam: How long do the security updates last on the Oppo Find X 8 Pro? Are they likely to discount it soon?

                • OpayuOnam on 26/01/2025 - 15:52
                  +1

                  @BluebirdV: The Oppo Find X8 Pro receives five years of Android OS updates and six years of security patches.

                  Looking back at Find X5 series which was the last Find X series in Australia, they are still updating it.
                  So I tend to believe them.

                  • BluebirdV on 26/01/2025 - 16:00

                    @OpayuOnam: Not bad. I heard Oppo used to not get many updates.

                    • OpayuOnam on 26/01/2025 - 16:42

                      @BluebirdV: That may be true for their budget range, but both Find X and Reno range seems to be getting decent updates.

            @Circly: Vivo x200 Pro. They have a global and Chinese version which have a different operating system (funtouch vs origin) and limited mobile bands for the China version and the Chinese version is missing some google maps history tracking and Android Auto support is promised in updates. There's also the Oppo Find X8 Pro which is similar spec wise and has an international release. These have the Dimensity 9400 which looks very good. Both will have an ultra version which is China exclusive.

            Others include the One Plus 13, yet to be announced Xiaomi 15 Ultra, and Huawei Pura 70.

                @bogan: That's good to see but looks like the development has stagnanted since their key targets don't have much competition from the Chinese phones.

                Two more years for the s27u is a long wait.

          When will the mobile plan starts (starting to charge $99)

            After pre-ordering, when can we get the phone?

            Phone release date 14th Feb. JB will contact you when it is ready for pick up.

            When will the mobile plan starts (starting to charge $99)

            The same day you sign up.

            We assume the mobile plan is cancelled on Telstra website. After that, who will charge us the $800?

            You will get a telstra bill for the $800.

              Thanks for the explanation. Yes, I did not read all the thread as it is too long. It would be nice its on WiKi.

              Does it mean I should only cancel the mobile plan after the phone has been collected (6th Feb)? or I can cancel it right away.

                  @G-rig: What I am afraid of is that if the plan is cancelled before the phone is collected, it might void the contract, and the phone can no longer be collected.

        The $1700 off the purchase price of a Samsung Galaxy Ultra phone(referred to as the "JB Hi-Fi Voucher" in the Telstra Terms and Conditions and replacing the dollar value of the Voucher in the Critical Information Summary) will be applied to the purchase price of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra phone and available to you instore after connection approval by Telstra. If you cancel or move to a lower cost/different plan then you must pay a Voucher Repayment Fee to Telstra pro-rated against the remaining months of your plan's minimum term.

                  @niggardly: Yes you can cancel with Telstra. All JB does is sign up your email address and phone number onto telstra. So you'll have telstra log in and password etc to cancel directly.

    • EBC on 23/01/2025 - 08:24

      Looks the same as when I did it for the Pixel 9 pro XL preorder and had no problems. The maximum voucher repayment fee of $800 is still in the critical information summary and overrides the terms and conditions you have here.

      So the calculation actually ends up a bit different than what op posted. If you have to pay for the first month you pay ((23/24) * $800) + $237 = $1003.67.

      You would pay the full 800 if you manage to cancel without paying the first month. I've seen this work if you schedule a date for it to start in the future and cancel before it starts.

      • marshmall0w2 on 23/01/2025 - 08:51

        So what's the best way to do this? Set the start to Feb 23 and cancel today? Then total would be $237 + $800 = $1037?

        • EBC on 23/01/2025 - 09:34
          +1

          I never did it myself but have a look at the pixel 9 pro XL deal for some discussion on it.

          I think it somewhat depends who you get in the store. It seemed silly to me at the time that my plan started immediately even though the phone didn't come out for another week. So I think it would just be a matter of convincing the person at JB hi Fi to have it take effect later. Maybe tell them you want it to align with your current plan expiring.

          Edit: oh also my calculation in my previous comment needs +$99 for the first month if that's the way you go so just over $1100 total.

          • marshmall0w2 on 23/01/2025 - 11:23

            @EBC: And just to confirm, you cancelled via Telstra right? JB HiFi won't suddenly charge you the remaining $1700 - $800 = $900?

            • EBC on 23/01/2025 - 11:40
              +1

              @marshmall0w2: I am pretty sure I called the number from the JB Hi Fi app. But that number takes you to a Telstra rep. Honestly it shouldn't matter because the JB Mobile plans are entirely managed by Telstra and subject to the Telstra CIS. Also once you sign up it should say in the app (it may take a day or two) the cost to cancel the plan somewhere. Mine said $800 after the plan was active.

    Has anyone got a $200 pre order bonus to see if it stacks as well?

    • JohnnyP on 23/01/2025 - 07:25

      It's 200 off RRP plus 200 pre-order bonus coupon so your getting 512gb for 1937. I just tested it

      Sucks about the s pen nerf

      • Bonesaw321 on 23/01/2025 - 07:30

        Yep. But as it’s a mobile phone plan deal you have to do it in person. I’m sure if you show them your code they should discount it by that $200 though.

          Yeah the email says show the coupon in person in the store. It's the email with this deal so it should work fine

      • phanquy on 23/01/2025 - 09:14

        When did you get the coupon? I remember signing up for the preorder but didn't get any code. I just remember it said I would get the code as soon as the phone went on sale.

  • cubestreamer on 23/01/2025 - 07:24

    How do I get the 200$ voucher?

    • JohnnyP on 23/01/2025 - 07:25

      Did you pre register? Check your inbox

      • cubestreamer on 23/01/2025 - 07:35

        I see I did not pre register for it, missed that

      • perfectlydark on 23/01/2025 - 07:59

        • Jklaro on 23/01/2025 - 08:05

          • ChipsChicky on 23/01/2025 - 12:45

            @Jklaro: Same. only got the generic Galaxy2025 code email.

    If you already have a phone to trade just wait for a good Samsung trade in deal.
    I have switch phones every 2 years for only $200-300 each time.

    Out of topic the biggest improvements unfortunately is a new battery. They seem to degrade very quickly!
    The rest doesn't evolve very quickly.

    • TozBargain on 23/01/2025 - 11:02

      Typically how long do you have to wait for a good deal? Isn't it usually the release date that's got the best deal?

      • Circly on 23/01/2025 - 14:21

        Yeah best deal is usually around release.

    • Pryda on 23/01/2025 - 23:27

      I've got the S20 FE 5G and was hoping the S24 Ultra would be a better price by now but it's still extremely high.

      I've never traded in and didn't know they did good trade-in offers. Will a trade-in offer only apply to the S25s (as opposed to the S24 Ultra I'm looking for)?

      • ValouSydney on 24/01/2025 - 06:40

        I can't remember, I've always only bought the more recent phone.

  • nerd1 on 23/01/2025 - 07:29

    I guess this does not apply to numbers already with JB mobile. I really need to port out asap

    • Bonesaw321 on 23/01/2025 - 07:35

      Just get an aldi $5 sim port out, then port back in when you sign up to the deal hehe

      • Haydos90 on 23/01/2025 - 07:44

        Do you know if you need to be ported out for a certain time for this to work?

        Currently with Telstra and looking to use one of the JB deals but I've previously seen people talk about having to be ported out for 30 days or a full billing cycle for it to work.

        • EssendonUser on 23/01/2025 - 10:19

          Curious to know this as well. Do they strictly enforce the 30-day rule? Any experiences?

            @EssendonUser: Hi guys. They don't care anymore. But you didnt hear that from meeeeeee

    • krisspy on 23/01/2025 - 11:16

      Just buy a $10 kogan starter sim and port that

    • caitsith01 on 23/01/2025 - 15:22

      Yeah, it's (profanity) annoying. I'm with JB on a SIM-only plan and I feel like I get penalised by them as a result. Like yeah, I could 'port' a $5 SIM over to them but why not just make this offer available to everyone?
