Facebook post for the promotion

Family and friends of Telstra staff can get a Pixel 1 32GB, Pixel 1 XL 32GB, Samsung S8 64GB, iPhone 6s 32GB or Telstra Signature 2 when they take up our $59/mth Friends and Family Go Mobile Plus BYO plan for 24 months with a huge 15GB of data and no additional phone repayments (Min cost $1416. Data for use in Australia).

The offer ends 25 December 2017, while stocks last

It's basically a repeat of this deal but with a ~$800 phone included as well (on 24 months instead of 12 month term).

Compared to this $49/month JB BYO deal, you are paying an extra $240 over the 24 months and giving up $200 JB gift card & 5GB of data; however you are getting a $600-$900ish phone included instead.

If you value the Galaxy S8 at $800 (I think the cheapest deal we saw was $799 for Bing Lee) then you are paying $640 over 24 months for the 15GB contract = $26.66/month which seems like a great deal on the Telstra network and also no upfront cost required. That's probably the best value there since the Pixel XL and iPhone 6s are older models but they are options for Apple users or someone not wanting to go down the Samsung path.

CIS for the $59/Plan. 15GB data, unlimited calls/sms/mms/voicemail, no international calls.

Only available for recontract, new activations and port-ins on the $59 Friends and Family Go Mobile Plus BYO plan for 24mths with a Google Pixel 1 32GB, Google Pixel 1 XL 32GB, Samsung Galaxy S8, iPhone 6s 32GB or Telstra Signature 2. Not available with any other offer (including second service credit or port in credit) except Telstra staff discount.

Note: You may be able to receive an extra 5GB of data via the chat popup. See here.

    Thank you: got s8 on back order, with extra 5 go via chat. I have other Telstra product so no dramas.

  • user99 on 09/12/2017 - 21:05

    Can I take advantage of Jbhifi cash back then can I upgrade to telstra this offer? Is it the best option?

    Did it all in JB Hi-fi just now. Ported my Daughter's Aldi prepaid to the $49 sim only plan & got the $200 GC. Bought the wifey an iPhone 6 Plus 32gb ($749 on sale) & used the GC. They then upgraded the plan to the $59 deal, applied the extra 5gb & $10 credit and gave me an S8 64gb!.

    • user99 on 09/12/2017 - 21:36

      How did you get $10 credit?

      • ghostdog73 on 09/12/2017 - 23:19

        I told the salesperson that's what Telstra was offering online.

    • harryzee on 09/12/2017 - 21:46

      Was it online? If not which store?

      • ghostdog73 on 09/12/2017 - 23:32

        In-store Cannington WA. I only went in to do the $49 sim plan initially, but when I told the salesperson what I was doing she said she was aware of the F&F deal & offered to try to process the upgrade in-store. Once the port went through she processed the upgrade and I can confirm from my account login that it is showing 20gb data. I'll have to wait for my first bill to confirm the $10 credit.

          Cannington or Carousel? Which salesperson did you speak to? Did you also get the New Phone Feeling when signing up through JB? Bloody good deal if you got that all done in store. Thanks in advance.

    • chromium on 10/12/2017 - 21:38

      You were able to do all this in store and get the phone on the spot?

      I'm currently on Telstra Prepaid, reckon I an do this?

      • klaw81 on 11/12/2017 - 08:39

        I went from Prepaid to this plan in store at a local Telstra dealer, picked up the new phone, and got Telstra Chat to apply the 5GB bonus this morning. They wouldn't have a bar of the $10 discount though.

        • chromium on 11/12/2017 - 10:56

          Cool, thanks.

          I might try in store, will be better than trying to be home to take delivery

    • akyeeeahdude on 12/12/2017 - 22:29

      Nice work - how did you convince them to add the $10 credit (as in what did you say)?
      I tried and they said the F&F deal is already discounted and can't be discounted further.
      I said I had a friend who was given the $10 credit over Live Chat.

    • Dano33 on 13/12/2017 - 10:24

        Actually got it first go, just said I was looking to have the extra 5GB and $10 porting discount applied to my account and if the agent can assist me with it.

        I also have home phone and internet plan with Telstra for the past 5 years paying $115-150 per month.

  • Birdseye on 11/12/2017 - 08:36

    Man I thought I did ok getting the 5gb (and it seems some people still aren't so maybe I did) but I tip my hat to the people managing to get the 5gb, jb gift card and $10 a month off! Just goes to show that with OzB you should always read the comments (unlike with the rest of the internet)

  • Schema on 11/12/2017 - 15:10

    Okay and I understand you are a Telstra Staff to have availed this offer. Now, I have checked the eligibility and that regardless of what you were advised with ~~~, then the $20 is invalid. As I have checked via my resources:

    INCOMPATIBILITY - We’ll monitor provisioning to ensure these incompatible credits aren’t being applied

    So even if we do apply it, it will still be removed by the system and there is no override we can do with this system limitation but the following are compatible:

    25% Staff Discount also applies if eligible
    Multi-Product 5GB Loyalty Bonus Data Offer

    Seems like their system is sweeping any addons / offers added onto this plan.

      the consultant argued with me that the pixel 2 wasnt an option. i finally got them to actually load the website and refresh the page so they could see that it was.

    • Whatisthatvelvet on 12/12/2017 - 14:16

      Cant see that as an option

      NVM. Appeared after a while

  • DiscoJango on 12/12/2017 - 12:31

    trying to sign up the mrs now however the chat consultant is being difficult and not adding the extra 5gb. might have to cancell it any try again with another consultant.

    their reason for not giving the extra 5gb:
    " the 5GB data has an eligibility and you need to have at least 2 or more services on a single account as that is a muti product holding bonus data and will only appear as an add on when you have 2 or more service"

    however when i did it for myself on sunday they just added it no questions asked. they seem to be very inconsistent with their offer.

  • daveybb on 12/12/2017 - 13:46

    Can someone please explain how to get the 5GB bonus?

    Do you sign-up to the plan online, and then go on chat and ask?

    Or do you just go to chat and negotiate the plan from there and get them to sign up on your behalf?

    And what's the cashrewards thing?

    • punk on 12/12/2017 - 20:04

      I was asking live chat about ordering and they suggested if I order this online they'll add 5gb on top.
      They need your order number so I kept the chat window open until I was done and gave them my order and they confirmed it. Hope that helps

    Merged from Telstra $59 "Two turtle doves and a Samsung S8."

    Telstra have offer for a Samsung s8 for $59 on a 24 month plan. I have never been on a plan so excuse my lack of understanding.

    After 12 months you can "Telstra New Phone Feeling" for around $149 plus extend for another 24 months..

    Is there a catch to this or am I missing something?

      You have to give the phone back in good condition so you don't get the full ownership. Not sure if they will take phones that have cracked screens etc, possibly not will be in the small print. Optus charges $99 for the same thing.

        Damn that’s weird, recontracted today in store without any need to show proof of friend or family and I’m on a business account.. JB couldn’t do it but the Telstra store (Telstra owned) did it no worries

        • aorusozbarg on 15/12/2017 - 19:48

          you needed to show proof of friend/family at JB? or is this only talking about the business account

        • doweyy on 15/12/2017 - 19:51

          @aorusozbarg:

          Didnt need to show Proof at either one, JB didn’t have the option in their computer because Telstra block signups for that plan except for their own stores, so walked into Telstra and they recontracted with no issue, got a Pixel 2.

        • Dealhunter967671 on 15/12/2017 - 21:04

  • fatty on 16/12/2017 - 16:41

    I'm not having any luck obtaining the $10/month discount to make this $49/month.
    Despite having recontracted one of my service and having the $10 discount applied on that one, seems everyone at live chat has had it made clear to them that there is no $10 discount to be offered on this plan.

    Perhaps a $10 port in discount via JB might be the go.

    Fair warning to everyone who is trying to/has combined this offer with the JB Hifi prepaid offer to get the $200 gift card (by signing up with JB prepaid first and then switching to the Friends and Family offer) - I spoke to a JB rep yesterday, and she said while these are going through initially, there will be a $200 charge applied to first bill to claw back the cost of the gift card.

    She didn't seem to be bullshitting me (it cost her a sale by telling me) and she said JB reps weren't told about this initially. It seems this charge has already appeared for some people and they had come in to complain.

    • Dealhunter967671 on 18/12/2017 - 10:32

      No JB reps were told initially, and clawbacks from Telstra will be likely happening - including account sweeping possible for ineligible $10/m credits.

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ Telstra on 18/12/2017 - 12:14
      +2

      They can remove extra data or discounts if it contravenes the T&Cs you signed but they can NOT charge you for the gift card. That would be illegal. There is nothing to say the service must remain as is for X number of months to keep the $200 gift card.

      If JB need you to stay on it for X months to recoup the cost of the gift card they should have made the offer "receive a free $200 gift card after staying connected for X months"

      • Dealhunter967671 on 18/12/2017 - 12:38
        +1

        I agree, that's completely true. I mean the clawbacks will sweep back to JB (sorry for not clarifying) - so the sales teams will not process the upgrades, and will leave notes on customers accounts letting Telstra know of the JB Exclusive deal with gift card to try prevent such a thing happening (as JB could lose exclusive deals and awesome discounts if theyre circumventing Telstra's offers and profitability).

  • Eleraa on 18/12/2017 - 16:12

    Has anyone ordered this online with Telstra and not have it delivered after a week and a half? They haven't contacted me to say it was cancelled… It just says pending on the tracking.

  • draistlin on 20/12/2017 - 18:50

    Any good Samaritan’s out there willing to provide me with a reference number or screenshot of Telstra promising them $10 discount/month on this friends and family deal? Been trying the last couple of days and not having much success. All I’ve been able to get out of them is if I can show them proof that someone else has had the discount than they’ll honour the discount

    • fatty on 21/12/2017 - 08:46

      https://www.my.telstra.com.au/myaccount/track-my-order?order…

      I think there are two possibilities for me getting this:

      • is ongoing so can be carried across from my previous offer.

      • Got in before the system prevented operators to do this anymore. They told me they are thrown an error when attempting to apply this to my other F&F service.

    Thought I'd update on the $10 discount.

    If you were already receiving the $10 before the new plan, contact Telstra and they will 'reapply' the discount. And yes it shows on your monthly statement.

    Just confirmed with my new statement, today. :)
