[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.

                  • @G-rig: I think he is asking people who ordered late? It's pretty obvious?

                      • +1

                        @G-rig: Anyone who ordered early have their phones already. It's only the people who ordered late who haven't got theirs. I would have thought it's obvious considering the context.

    • 5 pages of people commenting they have their phone

      • -4

        Maybe those comments are buried amongst useless comments like yours

        • -2

          My comment wouldn't be here if you didn't start it lol

          • -1

            @CodeXD: Yeah sure. If you crash into my car, I'm sure you will tell me you wouldn't have crashed into my car if I didn't leave the house in the morning based on that logic.

    • +7

      You shouted at her for telling you what will be happening? I would hate to deal with a customer like you.

    • Kindly plz don't abuse customer service staff that's just doing their job.

      • -1

        Really sorry.. I didn't mean in that way.. I just told her so many communications gap happening from jbhifi staff it's creating issues to claim things properly..So requested her to send written email..so when I call back again once the 99 is processed and to get refund.. trust me it went all nice at the end.

    i am trying to grab my head around this. So if I cancel the plan, net cost of the phone is around 1200?

    • +1

      $766 ETC + $99 first month + $437 upfront = $1,302 if you cancel right away.

      Might be able to score a last-minute $200 off code if you camp the begging thread today also. Then combine with a trade-in voucher if you please also to lower it some more.

  • For anyone looking to get the first month refunded, got a very instant, clearly scripted and ready-to-roll reply from JB chat saying it is no longer policy to refund the first month on upfront plans hah, so yeah that avenue is clearly shut now.

    • We're fxxed

    • So if $99 isn't refundable,
      Total cost will be
      $437 ($237) + $99 + $766 = $1,302 ($1,102)
      Is this correct

      • With no other vouchers/trade-in discounts yep that's the minimum cost for the S25 Ultra. ($1,102 if you have a $200 pre-order code from the begging thread)

        • Damn I'm giving up :(

          • @joinsung: Plain S25 would only be $606 if you want to spend less, or $865 for the S25+.

            • @GS9891: Without the $200voucher?

              • @joinsung: Yeah ETC is $550 for the S25 plain (so $527 after the first month, plus $79 first month fee) and it's $0 upfront, same as the S25+ (but its ETC is $766 like the Ultra and monthly fee also $99).

                • @GS9891: Sorry mate I'm new to this, ETC seems like "End" or "Estimated" something, anyways
                  So $527 is cancellation fee
                  $79 could be refundable if I'm lucky enough.

                  Total $606 ($527)

                  • @joinsung: ETC = Early Termination Charge (i.e. the contract cancellation fee).

            • +1

              @GS9891: I bought the Ultra, but the base S25 is the bang for buck option this time around IMO.
              You don't lose out on all that much considering the price difference.

    • try telstra chat

      • Service doesn't even show up in the Telstra portal, maybe I need to wait another day.

        • Just try live chat on their website. Don't need to use the app. That's what i did. Tried twice and worked.

          • @dji1111111: Were you able to do it before the service became visible in the portal?

            • @GS9891: no idea. i never checked the portal. I only got to it about 3 hours after I paid for the phone though

              • @dji1111111: Well gave it a shot, exact same copy-paste text from Telstra too hah:

                Disconnecting the service will no longer allow you to transfer the service to another provider or keep the number. Please be advise that we will not be able to refund the first payment upon cancelling the service.

            • @GS9891: Yep I cancelled plan on telstra chat before it became visible on the portal. Gave chat the phone number

              • @CodeXD: Yeah just did the same, but exact same nope-no-refunds copypasta as JB, definitely seems like they're not allowing it anymore.

                • @GS9891: Yes I tried just now with S25 $79 plan. Same scripted message and agent refused to refund $79. Aah well $606 is still a cracking price for band new S25 512 gb phone

  • Guys how do we know the $99 is refunded..as my now my transaction is showing $99 pending.. Does it get cleared first and then we get it back? As anyone received the 99 back yet.. Plz suggest.. Thank you

  • Will JB hifi match samsung partner store price? I logged in through my employee portal which shows $1879.20 (S25 Ultra 512GB)

    • Very unlikely, usually has to be a location that anyone can buy from/etc. Someone seems to have been able to match Costco though (after trying three stores).

      • yeh. makes sense.

  • -1

    Hey legends. Couple questions. Anyone have any issues doing two phones using the same ID. Does it create an issue cancelling with telstra? For the record i have done one phone today and want to go back and do the same with my other phone.

    Also Telstra put on the heat as to why are you cancelling, does it make a difference what you say here, ie i discovered your corporate conduct isnt congruent to my personal ethics.

    • I believe you are entitled to do 3 connections per customer. Did you use Telstra app chat? Which channel you select? Cheers

      • telstra chat just on the telstra contact us page, all good in the end. No way i could get the $99 refunded despite trying, but i knew that going in.

  • Such a shame. I tried asking for a code but no lack… tried on the mega thread and also asked jb directly, no luck.

      • Understood. But surely someone has some spare code they aren’t going to use :(

        • +1

          Yeh. after trying to get code from chat, emails and the megathread for 4 days - finally bought it for the $437 this afternoon. of course, it does feel like $200 down the drain but today is the last date for the this great deal. The phone wont come down to $1200 level even after S26 series gets released.

        • check the classified section….there are people selling them for a small price…

            • @G-rig: I'm referring to the $200 off code! Whizz is chasing the code…

              Here's an example…

              https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/893213

              • @LiQiD: Ah. Pretty scummy trying to sell it, will be useless by the time JB stores shut.

                • +1

                  @G-rig: Very un-Australian mate…..

              • @LiQiD: Thanks mate. I already bought one but I will keep this mind next time. I wasn't aware of this pre-order email. I actually received email but I didn't register.

  • +1

    This deal is getting replaced by new plans from tomorrow.

    S25 Ultra 256GB for $ 2137
    $99 x 24 months JB-hifi mobile (Telstra) port-in needed.
    $800 gift card. (you pay 1337 in store)

    so final price would be (2137-800) + 99 + 766 = $2202 (256 gb)

  • Hi all.

    Tad confused.

    Managed to get the s25 ultra but was charged only 237. They didn't bill me the 99 and telstra email said I'll be billed in future.

    Does that mean I didn't pay the 99 today?

    • The cancellation fee will $799. No need to pay the existing $99. I think it's because you had an existing Telstra service?

  • -7

    ETC waived

    • How?

      • Source: I made it up lol

        • -2

          If you followed the s24U thread last year, i also got it waived and posted proof as they sent an invoice with credit applied.

          This year they only sent an email so dont want to expose the employee who assisted me

          • +1

            @easternculture: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence/at least something.

            Only way I can imagine getting it waved would be if one has a massive amount of other Telstra spend, or claiming it was a fraudulent purchase on your account, or faking your own death and saying the contractee has died, or just declaring bankruptcy outright.

            • -2

              @GS9891: Other ways to get it waived which ill keep to myself

            • @GS9891: I have had it waived, via TIO complaint . But I'm also curious as to how it was done with out a complaint

              • @Rangerdave12: Ahhh, the old 'annoy them into refunding'. I'm surprised they didn't hold their ground given the contract is pretty clear-cut though, but maybe the manager on duty was just tired that day.

              • -3

                @Rangerdave12: They actually offered to waive it for me haha

    • +3

      I'm sure it was. ;)

      • -3

        No one asking you to believe me.

  • So since they ( Telstra)are no longer refunding the initial $99 you may as well use the sim for a month.
    300GB uncapped speeds.
    4G/5G

    ( or did I miss some info on this plan)

    • +2

      That's what my plan as well. Going to use disposable email with a new number to use all the free food offers. for ex. free burrito GYG

      • Lol. Excellent.

  • Signed on the 7th Feb, didn't put sim in. I was able to get $99 refund through Telstra chat today.

    Payout invoice $766.59 will received within 10 days via snail mail and 24hrs through email, refund $99 will be credit back to my card, this will take 3-5 business days.

    Still some life left, I tried this on my first go. Used the usual "financial hardship etc"

    Goodluck all

  • -1

    I placed the order on Samsung edu account using the trade-in and applied uber $400 voucher and $150 trade-in bonus. I don't want to send my old phone as they set $40 for my s22 ultra which is not at all acceptable.

    Any idea if I don't send the mobile back, will they remove the 400 and 150 discounts as well or they will just deduct $60 admin charges?

    • You can find the answer by reading the 50+ pages of comment in the other deal. 🤣

      • i am not gonna waste my time in that ;P

        • +1

          You're also asking in the wrong deal haha this one is for buying s25 ultra from JB 🤣

  • Has anyone tried signing up for more than 3 plans?

    • You could be the first.

      • Only did one but it's interesting.

  • Can someone please confirm my understanding

    If i buy using a voucher and then cancel the plan before the activation or after first month all i pay is

    $237+800+99 max? That like 1236 only…right???

    Please confirm if you know it

    • +1

      $237 upfront with $200-off voucher + $766 (23/24ths of $800) plan ETC + $99 first month yes (if bought today) = $1,102

  • Is the $200 voucher sent by Samsung and starts with CMPXXXX…. ?

    • -1

      Yes.. But no one has used this with jbhifi.. Why not use this and update all of us..but i guess no point now as the offer is finished 😉

      • I thought it finished at 9pm?

        • It's valid for another 1.5 hours.

      • I meant is this the one you show to JB to get $200 off. Apparently not then…

    • No - tried this and didnt work :(

    • +1

      No those are for the Samsung online store.

      JB's $200 ones all start with '92'.

  • I wish JBHiFi comes up with 1700$ vouchers for more phone like S25 Ultra. I maybe tempted by Oppo Find N5 if thats the case :)

    • They had $1450 off for the Pixel 9 Pro till yesterday, was tempted to get it instead, but apparently it overheats pretty bad for some.

      • What was the total cost of the Pixel Pro 9?

        • +1

          Same Telstra ETC and $99 for the first month, base cost for the 128GB was $1,697 or $1,897 for the 256GB, so would've been $1,112 for the 128GB or $1,312 for the 256GB.

          Though with the special ended now they've also chopped $300 and $250 off the 256GB and 128GB respectively, sneaky sneaky.

    • At this price for basically $1k for a new release flagship Samsung with 512gb, this was a no brainer

  • Hi Guys, How many days does the refund process of first month fee $99 take? Was told by telstra online chat the refund was processed 3 days ago but now still have received yet. Please share your experience. Thanks!

    • Mine stated 5 - 7 business days. Who knows just keep a record of the case number with the agent confirming the refund

      • Hope get received soon.

  • Is Telstra chat working? It keeps telling me to sign in when I am already.

    • I just got on chat, the chat support said the value of the gift card has to be repaid…?

      • Yes, which in this case is $800 as per the CIS.

        If you've already paid $99 upon sign up this gets reduced to $766.
