*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.

        the agent in your chat will advise of the ETC which is $766.xx and will ask you to confirm if you want to proceed with the cancellation….

          Thank you. How likely can $99 be refunded?

          Also, the phone has not be picked up yet, would JB know plan has been cancelled when going to pick up the phone?

    After being declined 5-6 chat reps for the $99 refund. I went on to Telstra website and open the chat via the payment assistance page.
    The chat rep refunded $99 almost instantly. Got the credit invoice as well.
    Happy days!!!

    • FiDad on 14/02/2025 - 15:54

      Oh I might try that now. What did you say to them?

        Just make sure the $99 you paid is no longer showing as pending in the JB Hifi app.
        Used this template as shared by a fellow ozbargainer "I have finished requesting the cancellation of the $99 24-month JB Hi-Fi plan for service number xxxxxxx. Could you please refund the $99? I haven't even inserted the SIM into the phone or used the service."

          No need. I did this while it was still pending and had no issue with getting the $99 refunded. You'll get an email confirmation from JB to confirm the refund of $99

            @Duece1995: I tried just now and agent told me that they can see payment is still showing pending and to contact them back in 3 working days If i want a refund. These agents are so inconsistent man but I can see that payment is indeed pending in my amex portal, maybe it depends on credit card provider as well. Will try again on Monday

        • Miner233 on 14/02/2025 - 17:14

          I cancelled my plan Friday last week and got told by the agent they will refund the $99.
          It was pending at the time and cleared Monday. So far haven't gotten anything back or even received an email about a refund, just the usual $766 payment..

          Got the reference number from the chat but should I wait longer or ask what's going on?

          • FiDad on 14/02/2025 - 17:56

            @Miner233: Ask and give them the reference number

      It worked, thanks so much for the suggestion. Those guys are so much nicer!
      I used the script. My payment was pending so like others they couldn't do it on the spot, but said they will monitor until it's complete and then process the refund. Reference number provided in case any issues.

    • Duece1995 on 14/02/2025 - 17:33

    How is luck of returning the sealed phone back to JB?

    Is it 7 days return policy or 30 days for phone?

    • Forenti on 14/02/2025 - 17:02

      You could probably resell it privately for a tidy profit?

  • neoleo on 14/02/2025 - 17:35

    For those who have cancelled the plan through Telstra app, check if you have got points to redeem.

    Previously I bought 2 pcs of Samsung S25 and cancelled the plan through Telstra app. I got more than 10k points. So, I redeemed Belong $80 sim card and have activated the sim card today 😀. I chose data plan only, so it can be used for 5 months free data for me. It can still receive sms. So, I can use the new number for other freebies ;-)

    • andylch on 14/02/2025 - 17:43

      Is the cancelled phone number under your Telstra Plau account/email?

      • neoleo on 14/02/2025 - 17:48

        I cannot see the cancelled numbers in the app. Previously I have Boost Mobile long time ago. I used Telstra too years ago. I can still login with previous Telstra ID. So, I used it for this Samsung deal.

    • G-rig on 14/02/2025 - 19:05

    Hi guys,

    I signed up for another plan yesterday and the phone has been pre-ordered to arrive at last week of Feb. So is it ok to cancel my plan today, will there be a problem while picking up the phone? as I want to get that 99$ refund to want to cancel the plan asap. Thanks

      A lot of people would have loved this if you offered it anytime except after the deal is over 🙄.

    Behold! The legendary OzBargain folk hath struck again, vanquishing JB Hi-Fi’s corporate greed with a deal so mighty on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra that their accountants surely weep! We enjoyed cancelling our mobile plans with not a shred of shame, for fortune favours the bold! ‘Twas a joy to haggle among such masterful deal-seekers—may our wallets grow fat and our ozbargain pettiness henceforth never be denied!

        There is no doubt the markup is huge, they can probably make them for $400 max.
        Prices are just silly with these set-storage units and same marketing strategy as Apple.

        The point is folk on here love a good hack, a challenge and a bargain.

        • GS9891 on 15/02/2025 - 11:52

          Yeah, the usual excuse people give is "muh R&D!", yet the thing is basically unchanged from the S24 Ultra (hell they even GOT RID of a feature with the S-Pen).

          • easternculture on 15/02/2025 - 13:42

            @GS9891: Also people need to get paid, warehouse rent has to be paid, taxes, freight charges, insurances, maintanance of factory machinery and electronics, loyalties to chip manufacturers, etc

            • GS9891 on 15/02/2025 - 14:14

              @easternculture: Yeah, some margin is fine, but flagship components for say an S5 only ended with the phone being like $700~ retail back in the day still.

              300% increases in the cost of flagship phones in a decade is insane. PC components (outside of nVIDIA gouging) have generally gotten cheaper since the 90s for better performance, but for some reason phones have done the reverse.

              • easternculture on 15/02/2025 - 14:24

                @GS9891:

                Yeah, some margin is fine, but flagship components for say an S5 only ended with the phone being like $700~ retail back in the day still.

                Dont forget inflation is real.
                All other human and logistical costs have also tripled or even more since 2005 or whenever s5 was released.

                I remember petrol was less than 70c then, my annual salary was around $60k. Now petrol reaches over $2.20 on the cycle and the same job i was doing is getting paid $130k per year

                • GS9891 on 15/02/2025 - 14:39

                  @easternculture:

                  Dont forget inflation is real.

                  Yeah but not 300% in a single decade from 2014/15 when the S5 was their king. Not talking the 80s/90s/early 00s here of course, (though petrol is its own thing).

                  Again, other electronics, (including complex ones like PC components), haven't really skyrocketed that much at all (except for nVIDIA flagship GPUs again because of their own monopolistic circumstances). You could build a top-tier gaming PC for $2k in 2015 and can do more or less the same now (with an AMD GPU at least, or non-flagship nVIDIA).

          • G-rig on 15/02/2025 - 14:07

            @GS9891: yeah i already knew there are really no hardware upgrades, but it's a lot better ergonomically and the new UI 7 would make the most difference.
            Why not get a new one with deals / hacks like these, can't say i was wrapped with the S24 anyway.

            The cameras are rubbish on both.

            • GS9891 on 15/02/2025 - 14:17

              @G-rig: Of course with a deal like this it's much more acceptable, was saying how the retail sticker price however is unjustifiable and people are perfectly right to squeeze through every contract loophole to get it as cheap as possible.

              • G-rig on 15/02/2025 - 14:32

                @GS9891: yeah there is no way it's every worth the RRP - don't know why they bother with it - just make it reasonably to start with (back when pixels were $899-999 and maybe $1299 for the samsung name, instead of heavily discounting straight away lol.

    • G-rig on 17/02/2025 - 05:02

      One person did but generally no.
      Choose right the first time or just sell brand new sealed.

    • LiQiD on 17/02/2025 - 12:13

      you can do a change of mind return and use the refunded $1700GC to purchase another handset….i did this with the P9P late last year

      • G-rig on 17/02/2025 - 12:23

        So you think they'll hand you an apple iPhone instead, Never many discounts on those.

        • LiQiD on 17/02/2025 - 12:37

          i returned the P9P and got an iPhone 16 Pro and paid the difference…

          it's basically a change of mind refund and using the refunded amount to purchase the iPhone….it's not a 'free swap'

              @G-rig: @LiQiD @G-rig they are not considering any possibility or change of mind. In short, according to them, stick to what you got in the first place.

                "Unused & Unopened, packaging in good condition (product not faulty) - eg change of mind" is covered in this policy….

                Anyway I'm planning on returning mine sometime this week so will let you outcome….

                • Shahw on 18/02/2025 - 01:25

                  @LiQiD: All the best and lemme know how it goes. I tried two stores without any luck.

              • G-rig on 18/02/2025 - 02:59

                @Shahw: Yes they shouldn't be rorting the system to that extent and wasting everyone's time buying these with the intention of returning.

                I'm sure you physically could return (if unopened) it with ACL but they'd hate you for it.

                I still agree people shouldn't buy them to start with and make up your mind. The deal over anyway but eventually this loophole of cancelling plans for cheaper voucher repayment will be closed or something.

                • yummypinacolada on 18/02/2025 - 05:19

                  @G-rig: Agreed, JB Telco have given much better deal if we compare it with Harvey Norman Optus. We only need to pay up to $800 for $1700 off where you are basically stuck with 2 years contract with HN.

                  Also, if people keep refunding telstra bundle phones at JB, then they could easily change this deal like HN did by putting the telstra voucher as a discount instead of amount paid by gift card(Yes, invoice from HN will be shown as $0 if you bundle with Optus). If that's the case, people can't even claim TRS if they are planning to travel.

                  • G-rig on 18/02/2025 - 05:22

                    @yummypinacolada: Yes eventually it will be changed so people don't completely take the piss.

                    Was kind of easier a few years ago with the pixel deals and reasonable RRP. You'd yet a pre-order discount, bonus trade-in voucher & decent trade, free stuff (like google mini gen 2 + CCwGTV, which you can sell), $300 GC.. no signing up or cancelling of plans and the phone wouldn't cost much at all (and cheap upgrade).

                    The inflated price for new flagship phones with minimal advancements is silly these days. Just apple driving it and Samsung trying to be apple.

      You might have just missed the the earlier shipments as latest shipping date is 24/3 for any colour if you order now. Less popular colours are earlier.

      • fatice on 17/02/2025 - 15:49

        • 8azinga on 17/02/2025 - 16:13

          Didn't you see the shipping date before you ordered? It shows when you select the colour you want and it also told you in cart or during checkout. I think there was a brief period where it didnt show the dates for some when selecting colour though but should have shown in cart/checkout.
          Pink is still 10/3. Whitesilver says available now, Silverblue and Titanium black from 3/3.

          • fatice on 17/02/2025 - 19:52

            @8azinga: I did saw it, but did not try other colours to see the delivery date. I was thinking it might be just a worse case scenario, it should be shipped way before that.
