    You are basically getting 300GB/month for $39/month over a 2-year commitment.

      Might not value it that much given 10% is pretty common recently with JB, and even was 15% off not too long ago.

    • brokeneither on 24/12/2022 - 20:40

      No you're not, because you can't use the card to go towards paying off the plan.

        Oh absolutely, i thought $1,200 JB Hi-Fi Gift Card part was pretty clear so thought it would be redundant to mention that in the first comment just below the post.

      You are getting at best $3,336 worth of value for $2,136. If the phone plan is what you'd have gotten anyway regardless of the deal, then it's great. Otherwise it's still a pretty costly phone plan.

    • AircraftFreight on 25/12/2022 - 16:18

      If you can get the bill waiver it’s $19pm ;)

      • itsfree on 26/12/2022 - 08:10

        What bill waiver?

        Edit: Ah, this

        Just checked my Telstra bill, and I get a $20 "monthly mobile credit" already – JB must have applied it themselves. I signed up with the free Surface Pro offer.

    • gsxr600rr on 26/12/2022 - 07:24

      Well it's actually $116/month over 24 months for 512GB S22 Ultra. Been trying to decide whether to wait for S23 Ultra or take this deal up for the S23 Ultra credit.

      So:

      $89/month over 24 months: $2,136
      S22 Ultra 512GB at JB Hifi: $1,848
      Less: $1,200 Store Credit
      $2,784
      /24months
      = $116/month

      The lowest plan available on Telstra is $58/month, and to get the phone outright at Telstra is also $1,849. Which is $3,241 over 24 months or $135/month.

      Good deal, I suspect this(S23Ultra) will come in at around $2,700 RRP for 512GB version (top end?, maybe pre-order deals happen) when it comes out, so that would come out at $62.5/month (24months) after taking out the $1,200 credit. So what i'd be effectively paying for an S23 ultra is $150/month for 24 months.

      Its a good deal if you just want an S22 Ultra, but I will likely use the S23 Ultra for 3 years (for which there would be a greater discount on the phone itself). So I will wait for pre-order deals to come out.

    But you will spend that $1200 on a TV less than 48hours from now.

    • TightLikeThisx on 24/12/2022 - 19:30
      +7

      If you don't have $1200 lying around to buy your new TV to replace a broken one but have $89 to pay the phone plan it's not that bad.

      Borrowing $1200 for 24 months and getting a $39 phone plan costs more and gives you less than taking advantage of this deal.

      • BigBoy47 on 24/12/2022 - 19:51
        +1

        To be fair though a $39 phone plan is on the high side if you don’t have $1200 sitting around (unless you’re using a fair chunk of that 300GB data)

    300GB a month?

    Unless its a replacement for home internet, I think I'd find it hard to be out of range of WiFi for 300GB of my monthly usage.

        Going by Netflix's bitrates, thats almost 200 hours a month of HD content. Jesus thats a long commute.
        For anyone doing 6 hours a day of commutes, uninterrupted, including weekends. I salute you.

        No thanks.

        • TightLikeThisx on 24/12/2022 - 19:44

          Netflix says 100 hrs or less with the highest quality on a mobile device.

          Like you said if you have internet at home or work it's probably not a good deal but for those that don't have it and need to get something for $1200 or more now it's a good deal.

          • MasterScythe on 24/12/2022 - 20:14

            @TightLikeThisx: Sure at FHD, and Tablet users might opt for that, but tablets are less common; and HD at 6" is a shockingly high PPI, which is why I assumed the example was likely phone users.

            Anyway; yep, replacement for home net/tethering seems like the only sensible use case for the vast majority.

                @leakysub: 1) Buy and activate sim with credit (I got an Amaysim $12 Sim half price at 7eleven for $6) which gives you a new number.
                2) go on Telstra app and cancel existing plan (I did this while in JB)
                3) if single SIM phone, have the new number in your phone at JB and port new number for this deal at the phone counter.
                4) receive new plan, gift card and Telstra SIM
                5) if you want your old number back, after you're up and running message the team on the mytelstra app
                "Hi, can you please arrange an fnn change from my current number *********** to my old number ***********?"

                    @JoeBogan: Sorry, I misunderstand, what about working at JB makes you think you have a better idea?

                    Honestly It sounds like JBs legal team didnt train staff well for contract negotiation; because its any uninvited offer that falls under the cooling off cause.

                    https://www.acma.gov.au/understand-your-telco-contract

                    If anyone approaches you with a sale; its shockingly hard to prove if the customer asked, or the sales clerk advised/advertised.

                    Speaking as someone who negotiates acma contracts as part of his career; its cheaper to just let the customer win, than to try and prove to the ombudsmen you didnt advise/advertise.

                    Dont forget, its an average of $8k for Telstra to fight an ombudsmen complaint, even if they prove they were correct.

                    So to argue with an individual contract withdrawal where there is any doubt, its usually significantly cheaper to settle.

                    however, If hes outside the 10 day window? Then hes out of luck.

        tell them your friend got a port in bonus and you would like to as well, get a reference number, I tried about 3 times on the online chat. But you can call their sales team, and tell them you are going onto a $99 plan even say you are coming from optus due to the data breach or something, as long as they offer it to you. Then once you have ported over, just give them a call back or via online chat, give them the reference and have it applied to the account.

    • BargainBenno on 25/12/2022 - 05:25

      When they sign you up the plan is $99 a month but then telstra apply a $10 port in credit. This means after 2 years the price per month reverts back to $99 a month. It's worth checking worth the sales consultant about the port in credit.

        That port in credit is one of payment $10 or $10 off each month ?

    I feel like you have to twist yourself into a knot to justify these deals. Might feel sweet when you get your TV. Fast forward a year and you are forking out 90 a month to use a phone.

      Esp when the novelty of a new tv wears out

        Agree.
        If you can't afford a new phone or TV, maybe save up for one instead of committing to another liability in addition to your financed Mercedes/BMW, house, multiple credit cards, so on and so fourth.

        Or when the novelty of a new TV kicks in and you’re kicking yourself for being ‘locked’ into a contract.

          Yep, life on loan mentality.

      If people pay for contracts, this is a great contract. Do you expect a $1200 gift card and a contract for 3 months? lol

      But if ur gonna get a new phone or sth.. it’s a massive saving .. this deal is only $40 per month for 300gb..optus gives 30gb on $49 per month..

        Who uses anywhere near that amount on their phone though. It's almost some arbitrary amount that they made up to sound like lots of gig to create percieved value, knowing most people will only use 10% of it, while also keeping it small enough not to replace real internet usage.

          independent thought alarm It must be the coloured chalk!

          Seriously though, you're bang on on perceived value. This is exactly what they're doing
