[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.

  • I have already got one which I am using can I get another one or is it one phone per person.

    • was it available to pick at the time signing the contract? I was told by staff all jb stores in Melbourne are out of order and waiting.

      • Adelaide but store was different to pick up

    • I remember seeing some comments where they used the same Telstra account to sign up for the plan again, so you could try.

  • Anyone noticed the MicroG service running in the background? Haven't found out exactly what it's for yet.

    • Its a third party google services app. You may have had it if you used Youtube Vanced.

      • cheers, I may as well uninstall. Yeah I have tested vanced before on the old phone.
        I noticed some people try to install it (probably for that purpose).

        • holy moly. couldn't do a simple google search to find out what it is?
          lol

  • Guys If I am with boost can I do they port? They’re saying because it’s same network as Telstra I can’t do it

    • +1

      Port in excludes JB upfront/prepaid, TGG mobile & broadband, Telstra or Boost. Its on the website

    • +1

      Just get a new number and $1600 off not $1700.
      Or come back after you get a new Sim from Aldi and port that one in.

      Depends if you want to keep the number or planning to cancel.

      • Yes. I’m going with new number. Thanks.

        • get Aldi sim for $5 and you can have the same for $1700

          • +1

            @CodeXD: I ended up just getting a new number. Lovely staff sold me the 512gb for $2k instead of $2137 to make up for it. Final cost was $200 after I applied the $200 voucher that live chat gave me today lmao.

            • @I Smell Pennies: Can i know how you get $200
              Did you registered for that before or you just get it when you chat with them?

            • @I Smell Pennies: So the total cost will be $766+ $200= $966?

  • -1

    Does the 'voucher' go toward your purchase or an actual gift card youre meant to walk out with?

    • Goes towards purchase after paperwork/signing up and used when paying JB at counter.

      Staff do it all ( more or less)

  • +3

    Signed up instore and used the $200 code.
    Cancelled my plan via JB app, so far no luck in getting a refund. Even went via payment assistance chat section but they all the reps are stating as per t&c they cannot refund. Even while cancelling the rep upfront told me they cannot refund $99 without me asking for it.
    Seems like they have caught-up on this and hence been declining it.

    • keep trying. start a new chat each time. use telstra. you still have till end of first month before you cancel

  • +1

    Yeah. I've struggled to get the $99 refunded for my wife. Basically given me a scripted response any cannot refund midway through a billing cycle.

    • keep trying. start a new chat each time. use telstra. you still have till end of first month before you cancel

    • Try account/billing option instead of cancellation, they've just refunded mine a few hrs earlier

    • Ask to make a complaint and it will go to the customer relations department and you should have better luck.

  • If you have recently terminated a plan, make sure you pay it out before you attempt to take out another plan. Silly me even though I sorta knew it wouldn't go through still tried to get one for my wife today but got declined. Hopefully, this will help comment will others.

    • Pay it out and go try again, happened to me and got my 2nd plan today

      • How much it takes to update when paid out

        • Mine took 2 business days to clear but the JB staff said it would have been ok to reapply when pending .. it says pending payment once you've asked JB mobile chat to process payment on your card

  • I know one cancels the jb/telsra $99 either online chat with jB or Telstra

    Buy cant one cancel by porting out of the JB/Telstra plan to another telco company? Or more to it?

  • When you go to JB, do they just give you the simcard? How are people 'not using' the sim to ensure they get the $99 refund assuming telstra chat member allows it

    • Yes they gave me a physical sim card (jb hifi mobile branding on it)

  • +1

    Found this from another deal:

  • Hi, just wondering anyone manage to get refund of $1700 JB gift card + $237/$437 (original payment) in Sydney with returning their sealed S25U? Cheers

    • I called my store, they said, they can return but they will give you the gift card worth $1937.

      • How did they get that figure?

        $1700 + 237 , I assume you used the $200 pre order voucher?

        • Yes use the $200 pre order voucher

        • Yes so they won't give you the communication voucher back.

      • +1

        I'm sure you didn't mention your S25U was part of JB mobile deal on the phone, if they knew(which most likely will be checked by the manager when you doing your refund) they will most likely reject your refund.

    • That means if we cancel the plan, we're getting the mobile for 1336, but if we cancel right after we get $1700 JB gift card ?

  • I wonder if JB Hifi can price match Amazon Australia. Its 1937 for 512gb at the moment so without code it should be 237 again :)

    • and with code… $37!

      • Yeah they said no as my email was not subscribed but it was a gave the code away :). Now they are not giving me one more

        • I've tried chat and sent emails to 2 different email ids but was denied everywhere.. my luck ..

    • Where are you getting $1937? Amazon shows as $2137 for me

      • there is a 200$ discount when you go to checkout

        • They wont PM

          Its

          $200 credit on select Samsung products

          and not $200 off

  • -1

    Anyone can apply the $10 JB Perks discount code too, in addition to the $200 pre-order code? The staff told me that they can't be stacked.

    • +1

      No you can't sorry, I tried.

  • damn Samsung sent me the wrong colour, went for Titanium Black and got the Grey instead. (Ordered through Samsung edu)

    Couldn't be bother to sent back as i got late 3-4days then their original plan.

    • May I know when did you ordered? Mine is still waiting to be shipped.

      • +1

        S25U 512GB Titanium Black + Bud3 Pro on 26 feb

        • 26th Jan I assume. That is 2.5 weeks.

  • Are you guys planning on just returning your devices for a $1937 gift card? ($1700+$237) and then the $200 discount just becomes obsolete?

    Not a bad idea to get a $1700 card for $799

    How are they about returns on the phones? No problems returning? Has anyone returned successfully?

    • Are you guys planning on just returning your devices for a $1937 gift card? ($1700+$237)

      Wow, that actually works? I'm surprised they'd refund the $1700 GC as it's specific to the deal and all.

    • I'm only speaking from my experience trying it last year, but NO you can't. When they doing the refund, they will need to call the manager to approve the refund which he/she will check if your phone was part of JB mobile plan(I think your phone will have additional note in their system which says "telco deal"). By this time, the manager will know what you are trying to do(be prepared to be treated like a scum). I did try this at couple of stores at the time because some ozbargain comments, but not going to try again unless majority of comments here have successfully to do so.

    What a bad luck..may be because I went to the shop at 5:20pm..when they are closing..the guy gave me a discounted price of $2037..did all the process to finish the telstra setup..then while setting up things for phone.. I showed him the $200 discount code which he had no idea about..I just told him to apply and see what happens.. And then he told me I got $200 discount.. Then we walked to the counter to pay things where the manager was also there as he was waiting for us to finish and close the shop..then he told me I have to pay $250 finally amount and I was like..what..thats not right..i should be paying only 137..then he saw the whole thing and we found the store guy in the final step selected Samsung 25+..1937-1687=$250.. then they couldn't cancel this as its connected to the telstra..and told me that $200 got discounted from the originally price and we can't give 2offers of discounted price and the voucher discount..so ended up paying 250..but manager said he will refund $13 when I come to collect the phone..cant believe.. Also I was thinking to take the phone in my parents name as they will be travelling next month and claim TRS in the airport.. But the store guy forgot that also.

    • Regarding TRS, you can ask nicely for another invoice. If they are willing, they have an invoice booklet which they can manually write you a new invoice with your parents name

  • Had a kind soul give a $200 JB code in the begging thread, combined with a $215 S22 trade-in GC + $10 dummy Amaysim eSIM bought just to port-in = $32 upfront spend, (so after cancelling the plan, should come to $931 total, not bad at all, almost what a flagship phone used to (and should) actually cost).

    Has anyone had any luck today/yesterday getting the first month of the plan refunded though? Or have they totally sealed that off and I should just save myself the online chat embarrassment?

  • How to start this chat with telstra.. When I click the chat now.. It says try again.. Is it because it's past 7pm..or can this be done by JB Hi-Fi chat too.. Plz let me know guys.. Thanks

  • Anyone else use a camera protector like this:
    https://amzn.asia/d/5dZuqD1

    And a case like this:
    https://amzn.asia/d/6Yz7MOC

    Cause the camera protector gets in the way of the case fitting perfectly.

    Here is my experience yesterday:

    1. Find cheapest price online (Costco have it for $2049).
    2. Sign up to JB HiFi pre-release coupon offer of $200 off.
    3. Get JB to price match Costco - I had to visit 3 JB's to get one who would price match.
    4. Sign up for JB's offer of $1700 off if you join the $99/month for 2 year Telstra plan.
    5. Pay for phone at counter = $2049 - $200 - $1700 = $149.
    6. Go home and cancel the telstra plan and get the $99 waved / reimbursed through Telstra as it is unused. Have to pay the $766 cancellation fee.
    7. Sell or trade in old phone for $360.
    8. Total out of pocket cost for upgrading phone = $149 + $99 - $99 + $766 - $360 =$555 for brand new $2349 phone
    • Which JB would price match Costco?

      • +1

        You just need to find a good JB rep by trying multiple. I ended up finding one guy who was desperate for sale so he did my s25 ultras for $2000 and S25 for $1300.

    • -1

      Which contact method did you use to cancel the plan and get refunded? Telstra direct via the portal/phone or JB?

      Also I assume it doesn't affect collecting the actual phone then from JB once it's released?

      • I'm waiting for the $99 to clear (e.g. not "pending" on my bank account) and then I'll message Telstra direct. I actually don't mind the look of Telstra's $25 month to month plan so I'll see if they can drop me to that and reimburse part or all of the original $99 (and I will still accordingly pay the $766 cancellation fee). Unless anyone here has any better suggestions of telstra plans? I'm keen to stay with Telstra for where I live

        The store had stock and were happy for me to walk away with the phone at time of purchase (Tuesday). So I have it already.

  • Can I cancel the mobile service before receiving the phone to request $99 refund?

  • @CodeXD how to cancel this mobile service? Via telstra chat or jbhifi chat..as I was not able to setup telstra app..as the code is going to the ported number..can I chat with telstra without the telstra app and get this done..plz advice.

    • I cancelled on telstra app, already had an account with my main phone number. Put the sim card in your phone to sign in…?

      • If I put the sim in the phone.. Doesn't that mean I have used the service and get will not refund $99

    • How much is the full amount we need to pay if we're cancelling ?
      2137 - 1700 + 800 + 99 = 1336

      • +1

        U can PM with costco to 2050 and then deduct 1700 GC . Cancel for 766 and then chat with telstra and try your luck to get 99 waived.

        • Sadly I don't have costco membership :(
          Anyway, I understand this now.
          Will try my luck tomorrow

          Thanks a lot btw

          • +1

            @perthguy92: Hit and miss if theh actually ask u to show the membership . You could saved further 200 if u had the pre registered jb voucher

            • @ReDDevil2684: Yea I saw, I didn't pre-register unfortunately :(

              Btw, this is JBHi-Fi voucher right ? Not a Samsung signup voucher I assume ?

  • Hey guys I'm noob + international student here in Aus.
    So basically, the original s25 ultra price is $2137, but you will get $1700 off if u join the $99 mthly plan?

    So you have to pay for S25 ultra :
    $99 plan fee + $437 = $536
    And how much is the cancellation fee?

    • 766 seems to be the cancellation fee

    • Thanks for replying mate
      So total $536 + $766 = $1302???

      • It seems like that's the case.
        But if you don't use the SIM, you can try to get the 99$ refunded as well when cancelling the plan (as per the comments)

        • Right. So the best bet would be $1,203 if I am lucky to get $99 refunded

  • -1

    Can anyone confirm if cancelling the phone plan itself early (to have a higher chance of a refund of the first month) would affect the collection of the device itself from JB once they actually have one's pre-order ready to collect from in-store?

    • +1

      No

      • Sweet, will give it a shot and see if I can snag the $99 today then!

        • +1

          Yes I cancelled well before pickup.
          Anyway hopefully they'd have stock in store now anyway.

          • @G-rig: Ordered mine yesterday in-store but they told me to only expect it in next week (though I did choose the Blue).

            • @GS9891: Cool. I got the titanium blue and got a spigen Zero One Magfit case in white:
              https://imgur.com/a/UKlUJ6H

              • @G-rig: Ah damn, I got a Spigen in black, didn't know they made a clear one!

                • @GS9891: Yeah I had a black on my s24u. This is same same but different. One of the few things to use an eBay voucher for.

  • Upgrading from S10, settled for the S25 Plus due to the Ultra being a little too large for my liking (maybe in the future though).

    Anyone pick up their pre-order yet?

          • -2

            @G-rig: Lol i wonder why JB told me they still have a lot of phones at the store awaiting pick up. Another keyboard warrior thinking they know everything

            Maybe you are a little behind not thinking plenty of people pre-ordered after 4 feb also? Time for you to start thinking rather than acting like a 10 year old

              @dji1111111: Lol wot
              Dunno mate not worried
              Take it easy pal, not sure what the hissy is about.
              It's the last day of the promo, people have had ages to organise themselves.

              • @G-rig: Organise? Lol wow so if people decide to buy something late, that gives you the right to call them lazy? You really need a look over of yourself
