Samsung Galaxy S25 512GB $0 Upfront on $79/M 24M Telstra Plan @TheGoodGuys.
Just went to TGG store and found this deal.

79x24 =1,896
I was referring to op's statement of "Maximum voucher repayment is $550."
Doesn't look right
Someone give me a breakdown of final cost
No upfront fee. So $550 cancellations + $79 (first month).
Unbelievable
I'm new to this.
This means, I can buy this phone, for $79/M plan, then straight away cancel by paying first month 79$ + 550$ ?
Is that what this means ?
Any significant upgrade from iGalaxy S24??
Just asking for a friend.
Tell your friend to get off his/her arse , and ask themselves !
It looks like they have significantly dropped the value for S24, 128 gb ($455) and other phones too. I checked for my phone S24FE, 128 gb ($535). Just a week back, it was showing $595. ;( All are as new prices.
Considering the S24 has a Samsung chip and the S25 has Qualcomm…I would say yes it's worth upgrading.
S25 ultra, look like same deal with JB
How is this different from the JB Hi-Fi deal? Does this one require a credit check too?
According to this it's correct. https://www.telstra.com.au/help/critical-information-summari…
79$ plan = pay first month then 550$ maximum cancellation fee
99$ plan = pay first month then 800$ maximum cancellation fee
Can I cancel my plan?
Yes, you can cancel your plan at any time by calling us on 13 50 88 or visiting a The Good Guys store. When you cancel, your service will be disconnected immediately. We won’t refund any money you’ve already paid and you’ll need to pay out any remaining Voucher Repayment Fee.
Just FYI - I paid 780$ (+300 phone trade+60$ process fee in which I'm gonna sell for 500 on marketplace) for S25 512GB + Watch 7 + band + phone screen protector and case. When I walked into the Macquarie samsung store and the rep came up to me while I was checking out the phone, I mentioned to him that I already bought it and told him how much and what I bought. He mentioned to me next time come into store and they will provide a way better discount, even saying he would of added the watch for free, the phone would of been slightly more expensive, but in total woulda been cheaper than what I paid. :D I believe it's still going if you go instore to see what they can provide while preorders are still on.
so how much for phone?
How many ultra did you grab this time? Thoughts comparing to pixel?
@DraggyX: None lol
Not sure why I got negged
@BargainsGrabber: Fixed with mine lol
@DraggyX: Thanks lol
Still contemplating to sign up so that I can use it as my second phone, currently iPhone 12 is my second phone haha
How much I paid for the phone alone? 379 (-300 for trade in phone) so 679 was for the phone alone (Inclusive of all the discounts) Watch face was 336 + 71.60 for band.
I didn't ask the in store rep what he could of get it for me, I just showed him my purchase receipt and he just mentioned if I had come in would of been cheaper and that to come in store next time for pre-ordering it'll be the best deal as they can do better discounts then live chat and whats currently available to public.
so you cancel the plan after the month?
@ilove: OH you mean this deal, I was talking about what I paid for samsung online deal.
This deal will be 606.08.
First Month = 79$
Voucher Pro Rata = (550/24)*23, if you cancel first month. = 527.08.
Final 79 + 527.08 = 606.08.
Will try this in store. Do you know if i need to do a trade in to get this store discount?
Didn't probe him much on it, just mention what all the discounts you got and see if they can do any better.
S25 Ultra 512gb or 1tb deal: $1700 off on $99 plan (of which the max voucher repayment fee if $800)
Hi just curious TGG and JBHifi using telstra network. Any chance get telstra one for galaxy watch with any of this plan? Thanks
According to the link in my previous comment about TGG plan with telstra. The telstra T&Cs mentions Telstra One is capable for 5$ a month more
How much for s25 plus
Bump
Can someone who tried it confirm?
Its 550$ + 79$ ?
$550/24x 23 + $79
550 divide by 24 multiplied by 23 is 527
Plus 79
That is 606 .. is my math correct?
You tried it ? That means this is just
$606 at the end ?
I was on the $99 plan and ended up paying only $766 after getting the first month's fee refunded. One lucky guy even managed to get the voucher repayment refunded.
@jimojr: Thanks.
I'm new to this. Actually new to AU. So,
How does this usually work ?
I purchase this online, then cancel it by paying first month fee (79$ + $550), so I'll just receive the phone ?
@perthguy92: Go to JB or TGG to sign up, and you’ll receive the phone after your number is ported in. Then, contact Telstra via chat to cancel the plan. They will inform you that you need to pay the voucher repayment fee. Once the first month's plan fee is cleared in your bank, you can reach out to Telstra to request a refund for it. If they refuse, you may need to try a few times.
@jimojr: Thank you very much.
Got it
@perthguy92: Do not use the SIM card at all if you want to get the first month's fee refunded. You should use a spare phone number instead of your primary one because if you cancel the plan, the number will no longer be usable.
So s25 ultra 512GB is 2137 - 1700 = 437 + $800 + 99 = $1336
that equates to $55.60 just for the phone over 24 months.
Keeping the phone and continuing to use the Telstra 99 plan will be 117 per month.
So ideally you will have to pay $60/month for the service
2137 - 1700 + 23/24* $800 + 99 = $1302
Thanks op! Didn't know good guys were doing this as well. Will try this at my local for the $99/ month S25 Ultra deal.
The JB i went to didn't let me do it as I had recently ported away to coles and tried porting back in…
So many conflicting comments.
Can someone just explain what the final total cost is of you buy this deal then immediately cancel?
No trades or other assumptions
The one above is correct
If someone can confirm the actual price after canceling straight after it would be greatly appreciated, as there are many conflicting comments.
This deal will be $606.08.
First Month Payment = $79
Voucher Pro Rata = ($550/24)*23 = $527.08 if you before 2nd month fee is charged.
Total Cost: $79 + $527.08 = $606.08.
You must be new to these deals
CIS shows Maximum Voucher Repayment fee. It's $550 for $79 plan. If you cancel $79 plan, you must pay the cancellation fee $550 * (remaining months / 24). So, if you cancel it in first month, $550 * (23/24) = $527.08.
JB and TGG offer this plan (Mobile and Mobile Data) for long time. Many users bought iPhone and iPad using this plan.
Some friends went to TGG and JB to buy S25 today. But, this promo is for only port in. So, my friends bought $5 Aldi simcard and actiavted. Then they went to TGG or JB to buy S25. They were told they will be charged the cancellation fee (maximum $527.08 because they've been already charged $79 for first month).
So can we do this all now including cancelling the sim and still receieve the phone? Is so im cancelling my s25 order on samsung.com and heading to the good guys tomorrow.
Interested to know as well ?
Will I get an invoice for the phone? I’m planning to do TRS at the airport. Thx
They will give you a receipt that's temporary at the moment which won't mention GST. But when you go to pick it up from the store, 6th feb or whenever. They will give you the reciept with the full price on it. So it will actually work out very well for you.
Make sure to get your name on the receipt.
Thanks for this aman, im planning to go overseas so this will be helpful.
Just wondering if I could ask some followups
So ive signed up and cancelled before at jbhifi, are they going to know and atop me from doing it again?
Not necessarily
Samsung Galaxy S25 512GB $0 Upfront on $79/M 24M Telstra Plan @TheGoodGuys
What's this voucher repayment if cancelling the service ?
Read the comments above
There is a (x) on top of $0 and if you read in terms condition below it say..
(X)Available to port-in customers only (excluding JB Hi-Fi Upfront/Prepaid, The Good Guys Mobile & Broadband, Telstra and Boost). The Samsung Galaxy S25 512GB (Models: SMS931BDBFATS, SM-S931BLBFATS, SM-S931BLGFATS, or SM-S931BZSFATS) (referred to as “The Good Guys Voucher” in the Telstra Terms and Conditionsand replacing the dollar value of the Voucher in the Critical Information Summary)will be issued to you instore after connection after 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. This offer is not available in conjunction with any other The Good Guys mobile or broadband offer.
I think they the good guy voucher will be the dollar value of S25 ultra which needs to be returned
JB Hifi Telstra S25U $99/month with $1700 Voucher deal with $800 cancellation fee as per the CIS also has similar wording, but so many people already cancelled the plan and received the Cancellation Fee invoice of $766 ($800 prorated for remaining 23 months as first month is charged upfront). Read here:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/890078?page=10
So this deal is no different to that. I will sign up tomorrow morning and will confirm once I cancel the plan.
Is the for the whole range or just S25 ?
What colour is best for future resale when we need to upgrade, any thoughts Navy Blue or Silver or other?
Wait what? Max repayment is $550?
