[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.

              • @Mattycee: Hey @Mattycee

                Can U confirm if there is any way for JB or Telstra to cancel gift cards when we cancel the service?

                There are comments below in this thread suggesting that!!

                It spooked me a little

                  • @G-rig: Yep makes sense but what If I had kept gift card and didn't purchase the device.

                • @OzbHere: Hey,
                  I have never seen it happen, but I wouldn't guarantee it won't.
                  Maybe the safest bet is to wait until the phone is in hand.

      • Nah not getting any loans any time soon. I have not cancelled it yet anyway.
        The lady in the JBhifi Cranbourne store was pretty good. She said if you are likely to cancel the plan you will only be paying $800 as per the plan summary and if you have used a few months then it decreases

    • +2

      It affects your credit rating ONLY for Telstra plans i.e. you MAY be refused new plans in next 3-6 months due to this / regular cancellations. Otherwise no impact.

      • Done 7 so far in last 3 months. Ordered the phone today. It was rejected 2 days ago but that was due to pending outstanding payment for the cancellation fees. Paid up and went through.

        • Thats why I said you MAY be refused new plan.

        • 7 cancellations in 3 months?! Why do you want so many lol

        • Hey @fadzsolz

          Nice to know you having lots of success with cancelling and getting refunds on first month payments too

          Do U know if JB or Telstra can somehow cancel the GIFT cards when U cancel the plan?

          There are some comments below in this thread suggesting "Telstra Rep Said you have gift plan with your mobile, so once we cancel and refund that will be cancelled too!"

          Appreciate your insights mate

          • @OzbHere: No, the GC is unrelated. Logically you can spend the GC day 1. How do they recover?

            • @ffagz: Gift card already used and paid against phone so doubt it

          • @OzbHere: Just cancelled now, got 99$ refund - took 3-4 tries.
            For charges, they will spell out exactly what will be charged - 766 or someting thats it. Because your GC was already used for a purchase.

  • Successfully cancelled my plan today. $766 due and agent said he would refund the $99 once payment has cleared. Captured a screen shot and reference ID.

    Happy days 🙂

    • +1

      congrats :), such an insane deal, imo they will nerf the cancellation fees this year too many ppl doing the same hack haha, so good while you get it now

      • $980 for an S25 Ultra 512gb is ridiculous for a brand new flagship handset.

        • +1

          how are you coming up at $980?

      • lol, they already did I believe, been tyring past 5 hours no cigar. eventually someone will give in…

  • If anyone is wondering if previous cancellations have any impact, I signed up twice during the launch of Pixel 9 Pro and cancelled immediately. Went today and signed up for this one and now going to cancel.

    Also, sould I cancel through Telstra chat or JB hi-fi chat to increase my chances of getting the $99 refunded?

  • What's the official release date? 7th Feb or 14th Feb? and anybody know if we might get the devices earlier than 14th Feb?

    • Quite a few people who ordered via Samsung Edu store deal are confirming their order status changed to shipped. So most likely will be delivered early next week

  • -1

    I am with JB mobile and I ported out yesterday. Can I sign up for this and port straight back in? Is there a minimum time anyone has run into?

    • Technically you can't as you need to be away from Telstra network for 30 days, but you just need to find a staff who doesn't check your history.

  • -1

    Do you need an existing number or port over or can you sign up a new number on your existing account? Then cancel your old existing plan, but keep/transfer the old number to new plan?

    And also just confirming, if you have the Samsung $200 pre order voucher this will work at JB?

    • If you port they get you $1700 if new it’s z&1600

  • In 2022, I got same type of plan 1200 voucher for 89 plan, when I tried to cancel the plan from Telstra, they said use the app where it used to show an early termination charge : 700 something and voucher repayment: some amount if I add up those two it will be just 100 or 200 less than what I will be paying in 24 months plan. I end up going for whole 24 months.

    Not sure how come people are only paying termination charge and no voucher charge.

      • So we now don't have to pay the early termination charges for the plan right ?

        • The ETCs are the voucher repayment.

  • +2

    Finally managed to find a JB rep who agreed to give Costco price match in addition of using the coupon.
    Overall cost came out to be $906 for 512 gb Variant.

    • Wow that’s pretty cool

    • -1

      Wow. Didn't see this price previously from Costco otherwise JB should be matching.

    • what's Costco's price please? How can the rep check it t confirm?

    • +1

      How many reps did you try first? From what ive hward before, they arent meant to price match Costco because you need membership to buy.

      • I bought my first device on 24th and the rep said I can either do a price match or use the coupon but not both so I used a coupon but for second device I went to couple of other JB stores. The first one repeated the same story but the girl at second JB store looked to a little too keen to make the sale but repeated the same story that her manager is refusing to price match Costco so I lied to her that I'll go to other JB store where my fried was able to combine the deal and then immediately both manager and she agreed to combine deal.

  • +1

    I just canceled the plan. They charged $766.57 for early termination fee and I got $99 refunded at Telstra app.
    I am worrying about this.
    The agent in Telstra said " As you have a device on a repayment option gift card, this will also be cancelled."
    Does this mean $1700 jb giftcard is cancelled?

    • Wowww

      Is this true?

      Your gift card can be cancelled too?

      How?

      • Nah. You paid the voucher repayment fee in the form of termimation fee. They have no grounds of cancelling it

        • That makes sense.

          Was little spooked by comment from Telstra rep to ozb above

  • The store did not let me use 200 dollars voucher said it can't be used with Coupon offers

  • +1

    Late to the party, does it mean i'm paying the following for the S25 Ultra
    * 437
    * 800
    * 99

    Total being $1336 if I cancelled and couldn't get 1st month refunded?

    • +1

      800 = 756

      • It’s actually $766.59

        • sure, what he said.

  • I bought all these for a little over $40

    https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/46868/119494/screensho…

    The Encased case is selling about $70 on the official website for other phones
    The magnetic wallet (encased case has a magnet) is selling about $12 from other sellers

    I buy from amazon because if anything breaks (yea, including screen protectors haha), they will refund

  • What is the earliest date that the phone will be available? Mine is saying the 14th?

    • -1

      People should start getting their phones from tomorrow

  • +5

    The amount of hoops and mental gymnastics now to get or understand a deal… All this brain power could solve world hunger or build a time machine lol.

    • OP just potted and disappeared - It's much easier if OP takes responsibility of updating the post as per comments rather just abandoning the post.

    • People make it harder than it has to be, not reading the OP, asking the same questions out of laziness and not reading the existing comments.

      It's basically the same as all previous deals without getting a $300 GC as well.

      • When was there a $300 GC?

        • S24U and pixel 9 Pro XL/9 promos in September, look it up.

          • @G-rig: Nah its a bit different. No $300 GC offered due to double storage offer which is worth $200 rrp and then $200 jb voucher for those who pre-registered so technically $400 off rrp of s23U 512gb which i think is great

            • @easternculture: Was referring to the previous deals. Yes I know it's fine :)

              • @G-rig: Was editing my comment:

                Getting $300 GC means paying $2337 with no $200 preorder voucher and then $1700 off which sets you back $637 plus ETC and you get the $300 GC

  • Hi friends, i dont have jbhifi coupon. I am planning to buy s25ultra 512gb variant. Can anyone pls advise how much it will cost me total?

      • Tried mate..and got confused with those scenarios..thats why requesting

    • Try price matching with Costco you could be lucky and save 87 more :) good luck

      • Very rare these PM happen.
        I remember i price matched my s23U witj westpac samsung store 2 years ago but had to call up and visit a few stores. Honestly saving is not worth the effort unless you drive around for a job or hobby lol

        • Yup, JB didn’t want to PM, this is from Sales manager and Telco manager at JB.

          • @G-rig: No only tight, no appreciating our own time value is also a habit. This is the only fair resource in the world. Rich or poor, everyone has only 24 hours a day.

  • +1

    I was dead set on getting S25Ultra for $237 extra I can get a better camera, however I was lucky JB rep I met said I can stack $200 pre-reg code with S25 or S25+ as well. I was told initially that I couldn't get it as gift card and I need to spend it along with paying the phone, but I only need a case and screen protector, I would still have ~$130 which I don't know what to spend on. In the end, I got the remaining credit as gift card.

    If you can find JB rep who are able to do this, it makes regular S25 the best value amongst the three with $550 ETC plus bonus $200 credit/gift card. I picked S25plus because the size and the weight of the phone is just perfect for me also I couldn't justify $437 difference for the ultra.

      • I have the pre-registration which I thought can only be used for S25U to be stacked with telco deal, but if I can used it for S25+ then the difference will be $437.

          • @G-rig: Yeah, all S25 variants have free storage upgrade to 512gb during pre-order

      • Also in regards to pixel, even though the camera is great, but as a whole phone is not. The software is often buggy, often experience overheating, and their chipset is not flagship level. I don't have the latest Pixel 9 pro but I've already given up on Pixel unless there's a major changes with the phone hardware.

    PSA: Was able to used the Optus free 7 day trial eSIM number for porting purposes, saved a trip to ALDI 😉 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/858242

    • nice hack!

    • Not eligible if you have a current optus mobile service. Otherwise good idea.

  • +1

    Picked up my S25 Ultra today from JB

    • nice!

    • Did they send you an email saying it's ready to pick up?

    • Which store?

      • Hopefully they send an email too. I've cancelled my number i used to port.

      • He said as soon as they receive stock in the shop that they can hand it out straight away

  • So, is this only for 512GB? What would be the whole upfront that had to be paid? Sorry if I missed it and thanks in advance to anyone willing to refresh anyone interested with what does it costs to have one and to cancel the plan.

    How about for the 1TB one? Thanks.

  • +1

    Thanks OP! managed to get $99 off too, good bonus for myself! Just kept trying and being persistent.

  • Can someone confirm (only because the discount code megathread is gone) if the JB discount code is the same thing as the Samsung code GALAXY2025? I have that code in my email from Samsung but never got a code from JB.

    • if the JB discount code is the same thing as the Samsung code GALAXY2025?

      No, different code. JB discount code is unique. You can only get it if you pre-registered on JB website before the Samsung unpacked. Not possible to get any new code now.

  • -1

    Can anyone confirm, if you're an existing JB Telstra customer are you able to get a new Sim and number then sign up to this deal on the same account then cancel your old plan but keep your old number and get rid of the new number?

    • +1

      You're mixing up a lot of things here. If you read through this thread, you would have found your answer already.

      If you want your current number to have this plan, you need to port out to another provider (like Aldi) and then come back to JB. There's a caveat that JB might enforce a 30-day waiting period before you can port back in, but most JB staff are ignoring this and allowing people to sign up. This way, you can get the plan on your current number.

      Additionally, if you haven't completed the term duration of your current plan, you may incur an early termination fee. You'll need to check this yourself

      • Cheers mate, I think that really is the most simplest method, will get on it!

  • Interesting lots of people saying their fee is $766, mine has been invoiced at $799.92 im going to
    Contact them today and see of i can get the $99 refinded

    • Disregard i wasnt charged $99 as i think i cancelled before they charged the monthly fee

      512g s25 ultra
      Total was $2137 - $1700= $437
      $200 preregistration credit added
      $237 paid at POS

      Chat with telstra $800 invoice recevied
      So total $1037 to be paid

      • Just wondering did you register a new number or port in an existing number?
        I am trying to find a way to claim back the $99, as the first 2 times they declined to refund the $99 to me.

        • Mine was a new numher, throwaway aldi SIM. So you got charged already? I signed up thrn about 3 hours later cancelled and they didnt mention any access or monthly fees just id get an $800 invoice whoch indod about an hour later.

          You could say that you havent used the sim so essentially it isnt acrivated and you ca t charge me a whole months access , barely even proratad amount given no usage, you could even mention TIO but you shouldn't need to go to that extent.

          Side note, im worried the whole order will now cancel with JB and i wont get a phone handset haha

  • Has anyone successfully ported out from Lycamobile? Mine has been stuck in the port-out process for nearly 24 hours.

  • Question: I signed up with my own number, which I intend to keep. If I were to cancel my telstra contract, would I lose my number of will I have an opportunity to port it out to another provider?

    • +1

      port out and Telstra auto cancel's, you will receive invoice.

  • Question, do you guys mention to JB Hi-Fi that you guys intend to cancel it ? Or do you guys just sign up to JB Hi-Fi then start canceling the Telstra number an hour later through their app ?

    • +1

      Nope, no need, but they know whats going on they arent stupid and know ozbargain and whirlpool posts about it.

      • true, just dont let on and play dumb.
