*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.

      Ordered Samsung film and a couple of cases. Got them 40% off or something like that. Not worth retail pride IMO

      • fatice on 31/01/2025 - 01:11

        How is the film compare to the protection glass?

        • ffagz on 31/01/2025 - 06:37

          I’ve had it for the z fold 6, and it’s been fine. Doenst feel like your typical plastic films - but not as tactile as glass. I would say it’s just ok but if you’re really looking for a glass feel get those of eBay or amazon. They’re going to be a lot cheaper than the ones in jbhifi etc

          • EssendonUser on 31/01/2025 - 07:49

            @ffagz: How effective is its anti-reflective quality? Is the AR coating holding up well or degrading quickly?

      Unless they've changed the policy in the past few days i think they're giving you BS. Everyone who got refunded did it through telstra directly.

    • zenex2 on 30/01/2025 - 20:04

      can confirm it is BS. Telstra are the only ones that operate the mobile side for JB and they do the refunds.

  • Meowstronaut on 29/01/2025 - 23:06

    Also, it's crazy to me that Mobile Monster is only offering $1350 for a new sealed S25 Ultra. My iphone 16 PM is worth $1530 and it's 3 months old! haha

        Pro tip, ask the Ebay online chat people for a free no final fee listing, they have provided me a couple in the past year but I had to ask. I have been a member for over 10 years though.

    What sort of discount we could expect on S24 ultra once S25 is available?

    Thank you OP for the post and all the comments here. Ended up getting the S25 Ultra 512 for $979.

    S25 Ultra cost: $2137
    Add: $99 first month charge
    Less: $1700
    Less: $200 (preorder coupon by JB)
    Add: $766 termination fee (confirmed by Telstra and invoiced)
    Less: $99 first month refunded through live chat

    = $237 payment to JB Hifi (less $23.70 by paying via discounted gift cards) + $766 ET payment to Telstra
    = $979

    Now to book an international trip within 60 days and get a further $176 back from TRS

      • itslittfam on 30/01/2025 - 09:44

        I think it will be $176. Have to divide $1937 by 11 to get the GST amount.

        Did they refund the $100? what did you say? I've tried twice now. I'm stuck because now they just keep reviewing the previous chat that shows they said no.

                @Dumpshid: Beeroppp. Wrong. You need to understand how the retail industry works and or other marketing strategies. The fact is you can buy this device form Samsung direct at significant discount. Samsung would not sell it if they were losing money, and also the fact that the uninitiated sheep would pay retail (I was one such paying fool/full price for Samsung smartphones years ago). JBHIFI is just the same as well, they get subsidy/kickback from Samsung/Telstra and by numbers they know a portion will maximize the gains, while others (mostly the uninitiated) will not cancel their lines, but rather keep them (as I had done years ago). If they were going out of business they wouldn’t offer this. Retailers like Jb follow loss maker strategies for such devices, their main margin is in accessories/extras which they try to sell you.

If business survive, people will have good deals like this all the time. For me $99 is nothing when you can save $1700 from the deal. Don't abuse system too much.

                      Not bothering to beg or lie to get $99 back. I asked JB staff to throw in a free 45w charger and he is happy to do it so i am happy. Win Win for both end. Easy

                        @Dumpshid: I agree with you that some people are just really greedy, some are buying multiple phones which I'm sure its no longer for personal use but rather for re-selling purposes. Once someone share some shady tricks on a public forum then its only a matter of time before lots of people abusing it.

            • ffagz on 01/02/2025 - 17:08

              @Meowstronaut: Depends on the agent. Some are being *ricks others want a good kpi and keep customer happy. It doesn’t come out of the agents pocket. It’s an ego/power game for some of these agents. I’ve had 50-50 success with refunding the first month fee over the 8 or so cancellations over the years

              @G-rig: I love good deals like other people but i want to let them know if they go too far, deals like this will be gone.

              I am sure Telstra knew about this loop hole but they don't care to fix, i guess they don't lose money from this but if we keep asking a refund, they might start losing some income. That when they start fixing the issue.

        • itslittfam on 31/01/2025 - 07:11

          I just kept pressing. They denied me two times (in the one chat) but i kept saying i didn't use the sim at all. They eventually gave in and gave me the refund. Gotta stay persistent haha

    • ffagz on 31/01/2025 - 00:48

      Return the phone for a 1923$ go maybe? Would be an uber hack.

      • Bonesaw321 on 01/02/2025 - 17:06

        technically yes you could do this as i have in previous deals, although you will get eyeballed by the manager as a no shame ozbargainer hahahah

        • ffagz on 01/02/2025 - 17:09

          Why though? If it’s legal then doesn’t matter to them. They still got you as a customer as the gift card can’t be used anywhere else. Eventually they’ll get you on a stupid (high margin) purchase anyway

    • NickNick on 01/02/2025 - 13:38

      Thanks for sharing. Can I know where to get the $200 preorder coupon code you mentioned "less: $200 (preorder coupon by JB)". Did it apply the discount $200 automatically when you walked into the store? Or need an formal email about the code from JB hifi?

      • itslittfam on 01/02/2025 - 16:18

        This was a pre-order coupon that you had to register for through jb hifi website. I believe you can't get one now unless you get it from someone in ozbargain.

  • kingkhan1990 on 30/01/2025 - 12:12

    Can i still do this after canceling my s24ultra deal last year from telstra??

    • EssendonUser on 30/01/2025 - 12:24

      You need to pay the early termination fee for your existing plan when porting out to Aldi. There is a 30-day waiting period to be eligible for this offer when you port back to Telstra. However, enforcing this depends on the JB staff. I did mine from Good Guys Mobile -> Aldi -> JB. You need to pay the termination fee before taking a new connection if it's above $399.

      • kingkhan1990 on 30/01/2025 - 20:22

        Thanks. Even if we canceled this one?

  • BillyStm on 30/01/2025 - 17:38

    Question for those that cancelled, did you sign into the JB Mobile app at all prior to the cancellation?
    I've not used the sim but its referencing checking into that account to track order etc. Are there any different terms listed in there that vary from the basic email from Telstra which provides the CIS with max $800. Weighing up ensuring I have the phone in hand before cancelling and just take the $99 hit to be sure there's no complications on collection.

  • Jd0911 on 30/01/2025 - 19:15

    Has anyone signed up for a second plan after cancelling a first plan ? A few days after ? Any complication with doing so ?

  • arlsman on 30/01/2025 - 19:31

    Just purchased S25Ultra 512GB from JB. Managed to get the deal for $1900 off. Tried to get the $30 off $300 perks deal but at the last minute turned out in the small print to exclude pre-orders. Still great deal and managed to connect to Telstra chat and cancel the plan. I was promised the $99 refund but as my initial payment of $99 still had not fully cleared on their system i need to call back on the chat for the refund. Took screen shots of the promise and also got a reference number for the chat. So hopefully should have $99 back soon. Also latest update from my JB on their screens was phones will be ready for pickup on the 4th Feb.

    • mike82 on 30/01/2025 - 19:51

      Just did the same S25 Ultra 512GB Titanium Blue. Got the $1700 + $200 off and used my previous JB gift card to pay the balance of $237. Was told the phone will be ready to pick up on the 4th Feb. Went home and used the Telstra app chat to cancel without putting the new SIM into my phone. I asked about the refund of $99 (which is still pending), was initially told unable to refund. I said I haven't used the service yet then was told now the refund can be provided. Received a cancellation invoice of $766.59 to be charged on 13th Feb, also SMS and email for the refund of $99, both immediately during the chat.

      Total cost is $237 + $766.59 = $1003.59 plus will be claiming back $176 ($1937/11) TRS next month.

      • arlsman on 30/01/2025 - 21:01

        Awesome that you managed to get the $99 refund at the same time. Mine wouldn't process the refund until the payment had cleared first. Got the cancellation email but have to go back to the chat when the $99 has cleared at their end.

      • asc on 01/02/2025 - 21:13

            The magnetic wallet (encased case has a magnet) is selling about $12 from other sellers

    I signed up to this deal yesterday at JB.

    512gb S25 Ultra for $1937 after the $200 pre- release voucher and $1700 JB gift card.

    Used remaining balance of $237 using TCN gift cards for additional 10% off.

    Question about cancelling the service. I logged into My Telstra app and can't see the new service.

    How do i cancel this service as it says to log into my JB HI-FI mobile account to activate? I haven't used the new sim yet as I bought aldi sim to transfer existing number I can't log into jb mobile account without activating the new sim

      JB was definitely cheaper using all codes. Much easier too as you didn't have to rely on returning accessories. Mine came to $213 using TCN gift cards (10% discount) plus $766 cancellation fee and $99 first month which I'll try to refund for a 512gb S25 Ultra

        • Duece1995 on 31/01/2025 - 17:10

          Credit check doesn't faze me. I guess it depends on personal circumstances. Without any codes what was the Samsung price for a 512gb S25U?

    I just placed a pre-order at 4PM today and cancelled it at 5PM. Then I asked about the refund but it was not accepted by Telstra, they said I can go to JB to request a refund. After that Then I just tried again and Telstra accepted it quickly. Looks like I got lucky.
    So the total is: $237 + $766= $1003 for a new galaxy, seems like a good deal.

          Did you get put through to the accounts or cancellation team?

            @Rakddon: What options?
            I said refund, and the bot connected me with an agent. Then they sent the message confirmed the refund.

              @phanquy: Did you cancel first?

                @Duece1995: Yes, canceled at 5PM + asked about refund (They didn't accept). 8PM try again and success.

    Any idea on getting a sim card for porting in? Aldi mobiles sim card uses telstra wholesale, so that wont be eligble for doing this.

      I used Aldi $5 PAYG and no issues. Activated the day before getting the deal. No issues at all

  • Duece1995 on 01/02/2025 - 07:14

    Will cancelling the plan affect collection of the phone?

  • sn00kered on 01/02/2025 - 07:33

    So what is the average price people are getting the 512GB for after cancelling etc?

    Have an option to get the 1TB for $1340 outright direct from samsung - anyone get lower than that for the 1TB?

    • Modesty on 01/02/2025 - 07:37

      How to get that price from samsung?

      • sn00kered on 01/02/2025 - 08:05

        Through a friend - not a general public offer - one time code sort of thing

        • Modesty on 01/02/2025 - 16:59

          Great price . I am also looking for best deal for 1tb

    • Duece1995 on 01/02/2025 - 07:55

      Mine came to $1078 for the 512gb. I'll try to get $99 first month refunded too.

    • rbaraz on 01/02/2025 - 08:05

      I am also interested in knowing how to get it for that price from Samsung. Assuming it's the Ultra version and no trade-in required.

  • rbaraz on 01/02/2025 - 08:33

    I was gonna go for the HN deal ($749 upfront + 4*$69 for 4 months of service + $690) but that's a min spend of $1715 when this one can be had for less. The only thing that's worrying me is whether this gonna be affecting your credit score or not as I read somewhere in the comments here.

    Also, I may want to delay cancelling until I receive the phone to guarantee no issues there or extra payment to do. In this case I am assuming I will only be charged pro-rata for that first month for the few days of service but I am also reading about people not getting their $99 back. It's still cheaper without the code and not getting the first month refunded. quite tempted to go buy an aldi sim now to activate and use it for porting in (I am assuming this is what the majority had success with here without using their existing numbers)

    Anyone got recommendations for a nice case and screen protector?

    Personally I use this same case for my S24U and love it. Thin with good protection and nice feel.

    In store now and they are saying if you cancel the plan it affects your credit rating

      • Duece1995 on 01/02/2025 - 14:51

        That's why i think it's better to wait until you receive the physical device before cancelling the plan. Is their any way JB instore can tell if you've cancelled the contract?

      • rbaraz on 01/02/2025 - 15:03

        I think all the JB reps would say you would have to pay $1700 but what we have read so far from those who have cancelled the charge from Telstra is about $800

        I am going to grab an Aldi sim card now to activate today so maybe tomorrow I can go into a JB store

        • AssociatedMattycee @ JB Hi-Fi on 01/02/2025 - 15:30

          No JB rep would say you have to pay $1700 as it would be what is on the CIS and that is $800. They have to advise based on that document.

              @G-rig: Ah right. I'm not sure how the staff member thought that would be a legally binding document. Lol

              We have people tell us they are going to cancel it and we just advise that Telstra may ban them from getting more plans if they abuse the gift card deals, but I've seen very few be banned.
