Handsets are only available to customers who have a Broadband Internet Service and Mobile SIM Plan with us (iinet)
Got an email from iinet with the following:
- Samsung galaxy s3 $360
- Samsung galaxy s2 $240
- Samsung galaxy ace $120
- Samsung tab 2 10.1 $288
- Samsung tab 2 7.0 $168
I'm stuck with Apple but might be of use to others…

Considering that's a fairly massive caveat, you may want to reference iiNet in the title.
But on to the questions everyone wants to ask: who is martin, and why does he suck?
Got the same email and had a gander. If you're thinking of getting the S3 on a iiNet plan (Optus 4G), consider the S3 they are advertising is the i9300 which does not support 4G.
iiNet customers are asleep (offpeak),they don't realize its (anytime) now…
I see what you did there…, hated those plans! lol
i have both, i can buy, but what is the current going rate for these phones?
I think the s3 is definitely worth buying and reselling if u don't want it, I'd definitely want to buy a s3 for that price. In fact, if there is a nice iinet customer out there willing to help I'd be very appreciative.
NOT A DEAL FOR ME !!!!
Actually I am an iinet customer - we have phone, internet and mobile internet, but the fine print for this deal says you need to be an existing customer AND start a new mobile internet contract with them.
Kind of crap really
looks like Internode has the same offer as an iinet-owned company.

Their service seems confusing. The customer services team member said it is $360 for handset and $15 per month for 24 months. Plus we must have Internet connection with them.
It's $360 outright OR $15/month for 24 months. I have BB, but don't want to go to them for mobile, so no deal for me.
I phoned to ask about it. The guy I spoke to said they hadn't been told anything about the deal yet. He said you do have to sign up for a mobile broadband for the phones but you can cancel after a month (this is for the 'outright' phone). For the tablet he thought I could just buy it as we already have mobile broadband - otherwise you would have to buy that aswell. But honestly I can't even find out how to do that on the website - its a really confusing deal.
Canceling after one month may be an option.
NB add $15 for sim card plus $15 for freight.
Why would you get an S3 when you can get an N4 for $320

hardware buttons and sd card expansion amongst other things
…and (even more importantly for me) reviews suggest that the S3 has a much better camera and is much more drop resistant. That's why I decided not to buy the N4 and instead to wait for another good deal on the S3 (pref the 4G version of the S3 "i9305" - which I think has 2GB of RAM whereas the S3 i9300 only has 1GB!!??)
