Same. Just received notification from app. S25+ blue black custom colour, ordered 9.30am 23rd Jan. Order now shows as On The Way, IMEI…

Confirming that live chat is handing out codes, at present, quite freely. There's a code for $400 off the Ultra with trade-in, $200 without…

Single SIM, for sure, but the A35 sold by amaysim (A356E-OPS) does have NFC

No experience with that, but I have activated the $50 starter sim (bought for around $25) on the $10/7 day plan before, so it would seem…

As of last Wed (Sep 11th) yes, no idea about now, or when they'll stop

Others have tried activating on PAYG and have previously had no luck in getting a code. I believe you need an unlimited plan of some sort

I did something similar 3 weeks ago. Bought a $30 starter pack for $10 when it was on offer at Coles, and activated it on the $10/7 days…

Wonder what discounted phones will be available after the current deals finish today.

Well, it's after 31/8, and the discount codes still work for $200 off. Let's see how long they keep it open for.

Just received a new code via email for a brand new service (new account, new SIM, new service created last Thursday) with SIM inserted in…

It's possible that they don't have the iPhone 4s IMEI range listed as affected in their backend? Far as I understand, the checking is not…

Had a chat with someone internal. It's got little to do with the agent, it's more to do with timing. A check is run every Friday by Optus…

Ordered Monday night around 10pm. Email with tracking number received Tuesday night around 9pm. Delivered Wed morning 10am.

No idea. The speed at which the chat agent offered the $200 code suggestd that they didn't even look up the account to see how it it was.…

Confirming they seem pretty relaxed about handing the $200 codes out. Went on live chat using the account I have my 3G dashcam service on,…

The "Contact Us" form on the website

Done it a few times, with no issues. After purchasing the watch yesterday in-store, with the $60 coupon discount, I just messaged Square…

Don't really need the code. If you go to https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/samsung-galaxy-watch6-40mm-graphite not far down the page,…

Just tested it with an old S7 64GB and generated a code with no problems. Could your S7 be a grey import?

I just literally had to do this an hour ago - not even to the stage of finalising and then cancelling the order, but just using the…

The S21 series, as with all Galaxy phones from the last few years, use the same firmware, regardless of region. I flash, on release day,…

Firmware releases into the Australian regions are often weeks behind other regions, and sometimes skipped. If it is important to you…

Officeworks price now reduced to $337, so no more 5% price beat discount. Went there this afternoon to try to get the price beat, but…

Correct. Neither I, nor my daughter, were charged the $300/$500 tradeup bonus for the non-return/condition not-as-stated phones.

No mention of return postage - came back in a standard Australia Post eParcel packet.

Earlier, I returned an S10e that apparently had some minor chips on the side casing and asked for this to be returned. It has now been…

I use the Spigen Glas.TR tempered glass screen protector. Flat, no cut-out notch, so it looks pretty invisible. The fingerprint scan is not…

Both on the body, glass was perfect. Didn't bother taking any photos, unfortunately,,but I will if they send the phone back

Sent my S10e back two weeks ago, got the obligatory 7 day and 48 hour reminder emails even though Australia Post tracking showed delivery.…

And, if you don't like Android Go, it is also possible to install LineageOS on this phone…
