AwesomeAndrew commented on Samsung Trade-in Scheme?
I recommend waiting for launch of S26U, as launch is when the prices are discounted the most when looking at previous years deal history.

AwesomeAndrew commented on Why Is The "OzBargain Plus" App So Shit?

Kelpei on I Just Got Scammed $1100 by Buying a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra from Facebook Marketplace

No, on my real S25 Ultra from JB HIFI the TAC is different for the 2 SIMs. But I agree in the past it has usually been the same.
