[Pre Order] Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 512GB $437 ($237 With Code) on JB 24M $99/M Plan (in-Store, Port-in Customer) @ JB Hi-Fi

2360

*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.

  • Seem like JB Hi-Fi chat found out, they’re asking for the email to verify due to a known fraud case on OzBargain.

    Hi there. Can you please provide us with the email this was sent to? As there is a known case of potential fraud circulating around the site OzBargain, we will have to verify this before we can proceed, thank you for your understanding.

      What fraud? Nothing illegal about it.

      • It seems like too many people were pretending not to receive the $200 preorder coupon code and kept asking for new ones. If that were truly the case, the marketing team would have been held accountable in some way.

        • Wasn't it available to everyone to pre-register?

          • @Duece1995: I'm not sure, that's just how they responded to me. It will be more strict now to get the preorder coupon code. If you really registered earlier, you still have a chance to receive the new code.

          • +1

            @Duece1995: It was, but people are saying they didnt get the voucher when they didnt even register for it so could be considered fraud.
            "The Commonwealth Fraud and Corruption Control Framework defines fraud as ‘dishonestly obtaining (including attempting to obtain) a gain or benefit, or causing a loss or risk of loss, by deception or other means’."

    • yeh. I was asked email and she said, I've never requested one so cannot get a new one.

  • -1

    If I dont want a s25 ultra, how hard is it to sell? This could be a cheap high data plan

  • I've tried over 2 days to get the voucher via jbhifi chat but have been unsuccesful.

    They said yesterday that the code could be gotten by going in store and doing a credit check since it required a credit check to be sent out? The chick on the live chat said it would be applied as a discount to the monthly cost of the phone plan. i.e 200 dollar savings per month/24 months which is straight up wrong could see in store that it was a box they needed to tick and read here that others get it as a discount.

    At the store the guy looked up the code, saw it existed, but didnt apply it and said he didnt know the code as they dont keep them in the store. He said even employees who had just bought the phone in store didnt use the code since they didnt have it - unsure if true.

    Tried with a second bloke online he said they have limited visibility into my account, the code needs to be gotten in store, and to call a number for their "dedicated team" for it. He did say they can generate it in store and to ask for them to make one since it is a physical voucher.

  • Just noticed that s25U supports 2 active esims at the same time. The s23U only supported one esim and one physical sim at the same time

    • So if you have 2 esim and physical sim does all 3 stay active?

      • Still only 2 active numbers at a time

  • a quick scan of fb marketplace looks like there are a lot of s25s for sale already! lol

    • Not a good time to sell samsung S2X phones at the moment

      • +3

        Wait until the JB deal ends and the S25U 512 gb goes back to $2300+

    • Ya for sure.

  • Another thing i noticed with s25U is it has automatic phone call recording. There is a recording button on screen, press it, it plays a message to person on the other end that call is being recorded and they can ask you to turn off .

    Really loving these new features

    • +2

      It's rubbish actually as it lets the other party know they're being recorded. I suggest looking up Cube ACR in Galaxy Store which does proper call recording - it even records WhatsApp.

      • More a legal issue, in some states both parties need to be aware if a call is being recorded, (though in QLD only one).

      • As above. Its a legality issue. Its useful when a company makes you an offer, you can ask them to say it while you record it.

        Re cube acr, they have a disclaimer

        ※Legal notice
        The legislation regarding phone call recording varies in different countries and states. Please, make sure that you're not breaking the legislation of your or your callee/caller country. Always notify the callee/caller that your conversation will be recorded and ask for their permission.

    Here is my experience guys.
    Got a $5 Aldi SIM and got a new number last weekend.
    Requested a code from live chat and received it after 2 days. Told them it was lost so they re-issued me a new one for the $200 pre-launch code.
    Went into JB Top Ryde. Signed up and gave me the $1700 GC.
    Went to pay and they applied the $1700 + $200 discounts. They requested to see the email from JB for the code. They guy could not apply it but he grabbed his manager and she applied it. Only Paid $237.
    I asked for PM with Costco but the guy refused it as it's a membership shop and said they can't PM with Costco. I did not make a fuss about that.
    I asked when can I pick up, they said maybe they will get stock in a week time.
    Went to grab a case for the phone and when I came to pay, I asked another rep about the ETA and she also said in one week. I said I am buying it as my birthday present which is today. She checked with JB Macquarie centre and they had stock. She bounced the order to them and went and picked it up.

    I just completed the chat with Telstra and they processed the cancellation and charged me $766.59 and asked about the $99 and they processed that too.

    Total cost: $5 sim card + $237 phone + $766.59 cancellation + $38.50 case

    Cheers guys for all your comments and guidance.

    • How did you get them to issue a pre-launch code? the agent I was dealing with asked me what email did i use and straightway declined saying I did not register for the event.

      • Sounds like it might be too late to get one now.

        • Really cracking down.
          Mate said they hadn't heard of this coupon and to show the email from JB.

          Luckily he did have the email or they " may" have said too bad no extra 200 here)

        • haha. possibly. I wonder if those who successfully used one coupon, can actually get another issued since they did actually register for an event.

          • +1

            @TheWhizz: People were saying they lost theirs, so logically JB will provide the same code.

      • Chat with Jbhifi rep. Sign up a new account with Perks.
        Tell them that email address and say I did not receive a code. Say yes I did register it but cannot seem to find any.
        They will send it to you in few hours. I gave that TIP a few days ago when I had to get one :D

        • I tried to chat with them and they said my account didn't register for the event. So they did not send me the code

          • @catbaby: Signup to Perks
            Chat with them and tell them I did register but I am not sure if it was submitted?
            Can you please help me with the code?
            This worked yesterday

            • @codename47: I actually also did like you said with my partner's email but they said my email is not registered for pre order code

              • @catbaby: @catbaby : That is interesting, my mate just got the code sent to him 1 hour ago. Just tell them you registered it? May be try and say that that is the only thing stopping me from ordering this phone

      • I gave them my email which is the same I have my JB account with. They asked me if I had registered and I said I thought I did but I don't think I ever received the code. Maybe because the email address I have used is the same what I use to login on their website so it's the perks email?
        As I said, he told me that he emailed the department responsible for the marketing side of things and he would contact me once he hears from them. Hence my request took like 2 days. I could have been lucky and managed to get one before they started to reject such requests.

  • +1

    Managed to get a $99 refund for one account but couldn't get it for a family member on another account. They just flat out refused saying "there's no such option in their system". They asked me twice about the cancellation reason and if I have any other services in my account (I have).

    • -2

      How did you manage to get your $99 refund, have spoken with a lot of Telstra agent and all refused to issue the plan refund….

      • -2

        I asked for the 1st refund about 5 days ago. I just told them a sob story about underestimating how expensive the plan was (which isn't untrue as I pay this much not per month but per year). They were very easy-going and agreed straight away.

    • Yeah they were giving before 5 days refund now they are not giving neither telstra and jbhifi mobile chats went today did all the stuff but they send you a code on mobile so you have to enter your sim but still a good deal in 1100 and i think so now they are not giving any 200 discoung voucher too

  • Any recommendation on chargers?

    Thoughts on https://amzn.asia/d/d9G3hrj?
    Anker, Ugreen?

  • Experts, any side effect of charging iPhone / Samsung phone with laptop usb c charger like Lenovo’s or MacBook’s charger?

    • No side effect

  • Guys, what reason did you give when cancelling via Telstra Chat? - Can i just say this is not a suitable plan for me / its overpriced/ not having network at my work ?
    Also, I don't have a telstra account yet, do I create an account first then link a number to it or I can only create a telstra account with valid telstra number?

    • Change of mind. They don't care. I've done it now 3 times.

      • Thanks.

      • 3 times on the same account?

        • +1

          Yep and no credit checks were lodged on my credit file. Got my Equifax file after two phones and nothing showed up. I had an account with Telstra so perhaps no new credit check was required.

  • +6

    Thank you so much to all those who took time to highlight the process and make it easier for people like me.

    After reading all the comments I have followed the guide inch by inch.

    1. Purchased a $5 Aldi Sim Card.
    2. Activated the sim but did not enter any payment details. Selected NO Recharge option.
    3. Went to JB hifi and asked for the Telstra Deal.
    4. I had the $200 coupon so informed the guy about it beforehand.
    5. Asked him to price match Costco price of $2050, which he said should not be an issue at all.
    6. He did better and beat the price and the final price came to $2025
    7. He took my details and charged me the $99 mobile plan charges.
    8. Went to the cashier to pick up my phone.
    9. Final cost came out to be $2025 - $1700 - $200 = $125
    10. Came back home and talked to Telstra to cancel my plan and asked for the $99 refund.
    11. The first agent refused so asked him that I will get back later for cancellation.
    12. Disconnected the chat and talked to another agent. who assisted with the cancellation of the plan and will be getting the refund back in a few days as per agent.

    Now looking to sell off my older phone to make it a sweet deal.

    Thanks a lot everyone out here.

    • So the total you would have paid is $125 + $766 = $891 for S25 ultra 512gb?

      • Yes, right. Unless Telstra decides not to honour the $99 refund.

    • Do you have to be a Costco member for the Costco price beat?

      • Hey Bluebird,

        I dont think so. I was not asked any question about my membership.

      glad to see you got hands down the best possible price, enjoy the phone :)

        Thanks Mate. And thanks to the forum members who shared the deal and provided inputs.

      wouldnt you have to pay $1700 back for JB hifi voucher used for mobile?

      • Hello Benj,
        As discussed widely on this thread, the only penalty you need to pay is the $766.

    • Hy, may I ask you which store you went to, if in Sydney? I asked the store and also the live chat but they refused to price match with Costco. I am looking to get another one for my brother.

      • Hi,
        Just PM'd you.

        • can you please PM me as well, I would like to order it today if it is in Sydney
          thanks

        • Do you mind letting me know which stores accept price matching with Costco? Thanks!

          • @yoyoz23: Not sure why, but cant seem to be able to PM you.

            • @suku1809: Hi @suku1809 apologies for the confusion. I have disable my messaging options previously. Would you be able to PM me again? Thanks

        • could you PM me as well?

    • Can I know which location of JB Hifi you signed up your contract with?

    • Hi mate,

      Can i asj what is the purpose of buying the $5 Aldi sim?

      • So you don't need to transfer your existing number to be eligible for the $1700 voucher. The Aldi sim is used to port over to the Telstra plan to make you eligible for the $1700 port in voucher

        • So you just put the aldi sim in your phone as per normal and then use that number to port? Then just cancel with Telstra chat?

  • Also another question.

    Has anyone purchased a screen protector and a case as yet for the Ultra? Looking to buy one today. Any reccomendations.

  • Can someone clarify what exactly the terms of the $200 voucher is? Is it only for S25 Ultra?

    • Do you care about the terms of the $200 voucher or what JB system will accept? I don't have the terms but if you are buying any of the S25 range phone, the JB system at check out will accept $200 voucher.

  • I'm confused why is there a link to buy online but they say in store only? It's very expensive if you order online.

    • Because you cannot sign up to jb hi-fi mobile plans online, in store only.

      The link takes you to the phone and plan details.

  • Also wondering when JB port you in on Telstra will they give you a new Telstra ID or can I use the one I already have with Boost?

  • +1

    Signed up to the deal earlier today and was able to cancel with the initial $99 payment refunded.

    Received an SMS from JBMobile confirming refund amount.

    • I tried through telstra and JB HiFi mobile chat but they give same answer once paid initially cannot be refunded

      • you may have to try another agent….just keep trying until successful….

  • Just confirming I requested a discount code through email from JB Hifi and they issued one today. Love chat were not going to give me one after a couple of tried but the email enquiry issued me the 200 dollar discount.

    • What's their email?

    • I was able to get it through live chat. They did confirm my email though.

      • I tried three different agents but none would give me the cose sadly.

    • what did you say in the email to get issued a code :)?

      • I just played dumb and said i loat my code. Hope i had done it correctly and hope they can reissue.

        It worked and got the phone today.

    • Tried it myself today and they said they'd check with marketing, got an email back later saying they had no record of me pre-registering for the voucher, guess you got lucky. (._. )

  • Hi Guys , I need some guidance for cancellation process. I signed the Contract in JB at about 11am with number ported into Telstra successfully. but when I got home about 5pm I can not find this 24M service in "my Telstra " app. Can anyone share how to cancel it with Telstra support ? Did you just chat with Telstra online support without login the service console?

    • It will show up on the JB mobile app.

      You can cancel through the Telstra App Live Chat and give them the mobile number of the plan you want to cancel.

      • Got it. I will try.Thanks for the tips!

  • -5

    I dont get all of this, can someone explain this to me please, looking at getting a s25 ultra?

  • Sorry if this has been answered but couldn't see it anywhere.
    My situation is I'm a current JB Hifi Mobile customer. I want to get this deal but want to stay on the $99 plan. I have 10 months left (equals $300ish payout) on my previous phone.
    How can i cancel this plan, and get this new plan all before 13th Feb?
    How strictly policed is the 30 day changeover? Could i buy an Aldi SIM this morning, changeover, then go in store this afternoon and sign up on this?
    Can i buy a new plan outright today, cancel my old plan, then port my existing number into this plan?
    TIA

    • I am in the same boat. Following for response

    • I gather you want to keep the $99 new plan?

      If so, yes get an Aldi sim and sign up on the new number.

      Once signed up, advise Telstra you want to cancel the old plan but that you want to keep the phone number for the new plan.

      I am pretty confident you can do this as I did something like this previously, but it was a few years ago.

  • Has anyone got the pre-order phone from JB store after 24M contract cancelled? I was told has to be wait for arrival notification after 14th Feb.

    • Yes - Depending on your stock allocation you may have been allocated one before release date or even get one on the spot.
      They say that you will receive a text message once ready however I ended up going into store before receiving any message it was already available for pick up.

      • Lucky mate.

    • I purchased on the 11th and picked up yesterday (13th).
      Received both sms and email around 11am

  • What is the subject of the email?
