[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

2350

*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.

      • not sure whether I will get $100 CBA yello offer mate.. I just used cba card to try my luck

        • The CBA yello offer had to be done through the Samsung CBA Yello page. It gave a $100 discount at time of purchase when you inputted a CBA card number. It isnt a cashback offer.

    • How did u get the galaxy 100$ e vocher

      • Bought $20 voucher earlier from samsung, code GALAXY2025 to be treated as $100 during 3 days of pre launch event..

    • Just wondering, how much will Samsung charge if we sont send in the trade in accessory worth $1 with broken screen?

      • $30 to $60

        • How do you return a broken device?

    • Would I be able to use the GALAXY2025 on top of all your codes?

    • Since there is no hope getting the JB voucher, I might go the EDU route like you did:

      S25 Ultra Phone Cost= $2349
      Samsung Edu app 20% discount= -$469.8
      Galaxy Watch 4 (46mm) trade in discount (broken screen)= -$1
      Trade-in bonus discount= -$150
      5% app discount= -$86.41
      System Considered Trade-in bonus cost of $400 for $380 (system took back 5% app discount)= -$380
      No show trade-in return= +60

      I have missed the instant voucher code, the request Megathread (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/890088) is for JB voucher. May I know where I can request the Samsung unpack instant voucher code? Can it still be used?

      System Considered Galaxy unpacked instant Voucher code of $200 for $190 (system took back 5% app discount)= -$190
      Will post a $30 WANTED in forum to buy one if I get the above voucher.
      System Considered Galaxy evoucher of $100 for $95 (system took back 5% app discount)= -$95

      Without the last 2 vouchers, the total cost is $1321.79.

      • +1

        Better to post in the edu deal

        May I know where I can request the Samsung unpack instant voucher code?

        Ask on samsung chat or if you have a samsung phone, you can access it on the members app.

        also GALAXY2025 code is only worth $100 now

        • Thanks for the update. Is GALAXY2025 code still valid (Sorry I cannot test it, EDU account belongs to my son, I have no access to it yet)? or I need to ask for new one?

          • +1

            @fatice: That is the code, it is still valid. The code was worth $200 within the first 72 hours of the unpack and $100 now.

            You will need to link the edu account to a samsung account. Just log into the samsung account you want to link (personal email address) via edu link. It will then ask you to enter the edu.au email address to validate against.

            • @CodeXD: Nice, That means if I can buy the $100 voucher for $30, the final cost would be $1321.79 - 95 - 95 + 30 = $1161.79

              • @fatice: I don't have the breakdown of 5% app calculation (I already used it 2 years ago) but the galaxy2025 code will take $100 off accessories. You essentially get $100 of accessories for free, will not discount phone directly.

                • @CodeXD: Thanks for the clarification. In this case, what do I get for chatting on Samsung phone via chat?

                  Ask on Samsung chat or if you have a Samsung phone, you can access it on the members app.
                  For the completeness of other: Final price from Samsung store as of 30th Jan 2025

                  S25 Ultra Phone Cost= $2349
                  Samsung Edu app 20% discount= -$469.8
                  Galaxy Watch 4 (46mm) trade in discount (broken screen)= -$1
                  Trade-in bonus discount= -$150
                  5% app discount= -$86.41
                  System Considered Trade-in bonus cost of $400 for $380 (system took back 5% app discount)= -$380
                  No show trade-in return= +60
                  Buy a $100 voucher for $30 from ozb classified (system took back 5% app discount)= -65

                  Total for S25 Ultra 512GB would be $1256.79

                  Use GALAXY2025 code to get $100 worth of accessories.

                  • @fatice: After looking at the classified forum, there are a number of members looking for the $100 voucher. There is no hope of getting any Samsung or JB voucher. A better deal is to save the 1.3k and keep the eyes open for next year :)

  • +2

    Hoping for a good trade in bonus to come along instead.

  • +1

    When do you think would be the best time to cancel the contract? Just curious, should we wait until Feb 14 to receive the phone first?

  • ….

    • …?

  • I'm actually after the S25 and given the S25 is displayed as $0 (rather than a $1700 credit voucher), should this be a safer option vs the ambiguity with the Ultra?

    (I do acknowledge, they discount it at the POS but at least it's not sold as a 'voucher')

    • You get the phone for free on a $79 plan and if you cancel you pay first month and pro-rata $550 (i.e. 527.08 + 79 +$606.08).
      If you get the first month refunded (I didn't have success) you basically just pay $550.

  • Anyone manage to get a freebie like charger or case with the ultra order?

  • A lot to read

    Can anyone update if the cancellation for 800 still works and total cost of the phone if cancelling?

    • Yes - Did it last night. Mine cost me $766.59 + $99 (first month). Others have managed to get it for $800 and not getting the first month charged.
      Cost doesn't factor any shortfall between $1700 and the phone cost. I went with just a S24+ which cost me nothing more.

      • How soon after did you cancel? Did they actually hand you the phone? Thanks.

      • You have the confirmed final bill already after 1 day?

        • Yes. Came through straight away after chatting with online chat.

  • I'm currently at the store and they are refusing to apply Jb code without seeing the email
    And I got it from a friend, is that right?
    Or what I can do
    Also they refuse to price match with Costco

    • +1

      Tell the friend to forward the email?

    • -1

      Order online n use the JB code?

      • I have to do it in the store to get 1700 discount
        I asked them to port in and continue the process online they refused
        I that right?

        • yes you need to do it instore.

      • Anyone tried to price match Costco and worked for him?

        • My local JB said they can either apply the code or price match with costco but not both.

  • +3

    Bit the bullet. Finally retiring my OnePlus 5T for a well deserved upgrade.

    Spoke to the JB staff they said max repayment is $800 so it should be $1037 all up.

  • +2

    OMG!!! I just managed to score the S25 Ultra + Ear Buds + Silicone Case for $593!! Thankfully I have Govt/Edu portal access, but I had trouble logging in so I called up and they gave me a $400 discount code for my trouble, only redeemable with a trade in, so I selected my trade in of my S24 Ultra, ($740 bonus discount), also and used code GALAXY2025 for a further $200 off!! Total discount applied, -$2103.90. Mind blown

      • +7

        Its not $593, but $593 + $740 from your S24 ultra. Pretty sure you are able to get more money selling your S24 ultra on marketplace, rather than sending it for trade-in

        • Then they'd lose the $400 credit without the trade in

        • Yeah I think I'll def sell the phone on marketplace for a lot more, I paid $1.5k back in Novemeber and it was brand new then.. i'll just cop the $40 non-return fee also

    • -4

      Could have got it cheaper. I had the S25U 256GB at $377 with buds and 2x screen protectors, and S25U 512GB at $507.

  • Got the preorder s25U 512gb at jb hifi with $200 coupon and then used the free $300 gc i got wirh s24U mid last year.

    Then sold my S23U 1TB i got from amazon for $1050 so basically a free upgrade.

    Only downside is the credit check

  • How to get the $200 JB code? Thank you

    And is it for 512GB or it can be used for 1TB model also? Thanks in advance

  • The $200 code isn't the galaxy 25 code from Samsung is it?

    I'm so lost sorry

  • Bought a $20 voucher code (boosted to $100) spontaneously and realised this upgrade isn't for me this year, waiting another year or 2. PM if you want to buy it off me for $20.

    • Sold

  • Just sent in to jb before, they refuse to accept the$200 voucher goes you can't get the$1700 and $200

      • I went to a different store and they go it can be stack, the other store was idiot is what they said lol

    • +1

      They guy in the store where i went checked the notes and it states that you can stack. They showed me on the internal documents

    • Jb staff asked to see the email with the 200 coupon and he read it in detail. Eventually he took 200 off plus 1700 gift card.

    • They shouldn't, I've confirmed with a manager at the bankstown store. He refused it at first but spoke to some online team and came back to confirm they're stackable. Apparently it's actually stipulated on their internal terms

      • Sounds like some stores are "managed" by clowns.

  • +9

    I signed up for the plan today, and cancelled right away the early termination fee was $766.59 and Telstra chat also refunded me my first month payment of $99. Absolute steal of a deal Thankyou OP!

    • +1

      Same

      • +1

        Was having a chat with the manager. He was applauding me for being such a grub and also said Telstra are looking to rework the terms and conditions so this loop hole might be closed soon..

        • +1

          Nah. They are still making money. Pretty sure part of the subsidised discount is compensated by samsung with some sort of agreeement and with the ETP paid and first month, they are still making a profit, if not breaking even.

    • -1

      Could u please share the steps.
      Did U cancel straight away in store and ask for refund via chat later
      or all in one go via jbhifi app chat
      Thanks

      • +1

        I cancelled when I got home through the Telstra mobile app. Then after that was done I asked them to refund the $99 first month since I have not used the plan and they refunded me :)

        Nothing was done on the JB Hi-Fi app

        • +1

          can you please upload screenshot of cancellation without $99 ?. thanks

    • You have the confirmed final bill already right after cancelling?
      I want to do this as well, but afraid of being charged the 1700 down the track

      • I cancelled the contract which is 99 per month. you wont be charged $1700 down the track once contract is terminated.

        • is there anyway jbhifi can charge you the $1700?

          cos it's essentially a deal from them ain't it?

          • @tkboi: no telstra are the ones paying for the voucher

    • Just did it myself through telstra chat, they promised to refund the $99 after it clears.

    • +1

      So, what about receiving that phone? Isn't it related to you canceling the plan?

    • lucky you, I signed up and cancelled right after I leave JB today, however, live chat in Telstra does not allow for the first monthly fee refund. Have they processed your refund ?

    • -1

      Hi @FrugalSquid, was there any problem for you while picking up the phone later as you have cancelled the plan straight away?

      • Do you ready any of this thread lol

  • Use the Samsung Galaxy Pre-Order Code Request megathread if you're after or offering the $200 discount code. No requests in comments please

    • Thanks! Good to know that there is a dedicate place for it.

  • +1

    If i opened a vodafone account today could i port to JB tomorrow?? or it a month?

    • Yes you can do it. Wait 24hrs to be safe. Depending on the sales assistant dont even mention anything about the port.

  • I decided to cancel like the few others. Asked Telstra Support to cancel after first month as I have already paid $99.00 but the Support chopped the service immediately leaving me with no service (not my main number). Cried in Digital form and was given $99.00 refund back to my account. Now received the Final bill of $766.59. If no further dramas, then deal will end up $237+766.59 =$1003.59 in my case. Happy days.

    • They didnt refund me my $99 :(

    • Do we contact them through the JB hi fi mobile app?

      • You can but better with Telstra Support in my opinion. All the very best

        • Did you call them?

        • I was with telstra support chat directly and he politely refused.

          • @Enlightened23: Do you end up getting the $99 refunded? I was politely refused as well

    • Any concerns about cancelling so far in advance before the phone arrives??

      • +2

        No, because all jb sees on their side is you have used giftcards + $237 to pre order a phone.

  • I wonder if i can just port my number back to my orignal carrier would that also cancel out telstra?

    • Yep, thats what they suggested to me as i used one of my gold numbers and told them i didnt want to lose it

  • Once signed up to the plan, to cancel can we just simply port out to another provider to save having to go through Telstra messaging ?

    • can do that yes

    • have you tried it? just wanted to do it this way and not too sure what's going to happen.

  • I got Pixel 9 Pro XL 512Gb for ~$1150 + $350 JB gift card.
    Now I'm looking at this deal and thinking if this would be a much better deal than Pixel…

    • How are you finding the pixel? I'm surprised the 9 pro seems to have a worse camera/video compared to my base model 7

      • I had 6 years old LG V30 before that, so Pixel is a major upgrade for me. It's a good solid phone, but honestly, I expected a bit more. And software isn't ideal too.

    beware everyone, the definition of "voucher" has changed from the last time. see below

    "The $1700 off the purchase price of a Samsung Galaxy S25 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."

    • +2

      I already have a screen shot from telstra specifying the $760 early termination fee. Also took a reference number and agent said its all been written in account notes. The printed contract also have $800 on it

      • Yes, and if you cancel, do it via telstra. They will likely refund the $99.

        • Correct. They already agreed to refund it after the cc payment clears.

      • So pretty much bottom line price will be
        $760 cancellation fee
        +
        $437 Initial JB device payment?
        = $1197?

    • +3

      No changes at all vs previous deals.

  • "replacing the dollar value in the critical information summary"
