  I was on Telstra prepaid, ported over to Kogan (within 30mins) last night. Then I went to the Telstra Live chat and signed up to this plan after a few chats with different staff to get free Google Mini included. So far it is all good.
  
  My order is currently 'pending' via the Telstra tracking website.
- PatL on 01/03/2018 - 13:56
  
  To clarify I was on Telstra Post-Paid
  - pennypincher98 on 01/03/2018 - 14:25
    
    Someone has said that they are cracking down on this now and it's a minimum 3 months. But some people have still been able to do it.
    
    Just got to get lucky?
- PatL on 01/03/2018 - 16:18
  
  Ok time for an update:
  
  I used Online Chat to ask for the deal with +5gb.
  
  They encountered the same problem e.g My number still in their system. They recommended I call Vodafone.
  
  I called Vodafone, who were VERY VERY helpful. (I feel bad) Vodafone gave me a reference number for the porting request that means Telstra needs to release it.
  
  Gave the reference number to Telstra via chat.
  
  VOILA!! Issue resolved and they progressed with the order.
  
  Google Mini - Lucky dip. If stocks are available then I'll get it
  +5Gb - Success as I have Telstra Broadband
  
  Just need to wait for delivery.

Got this deal last night and managed to get two bonus 5GB data added to the plan via livechat. Apparently on top of the loyalty bonus there is a bonus for new customers and they were happy to give me both. $59pm with Pixel 2 XL and 25GB data is not bad at all! I'm also selling the Pixel 2 XL with the earphones that JB gives out and a case if anyones interested. PM me :)

  I ported in from Optus. Tbh i got extremely lucky. In the first chat i asked for bonus data (didn't mention loyalty bonus). The rep said the bonus is only available for new customers. Thats when i said that I had just signed up and she was happy to apply the bonus.
  
  The second chat,about an hr later, was even easier because I didn't even ask for it. The chat started with the rep saying "let me read your previous chat". She then came back saying that shes happy to apply the loyalty bonus. It didn't make sense to me since in my previous chat i clearly stated that i was new customer…

      @Peepinkittu: Ok I want to know someone so helpful (ie desperate for a sale) that'll give you the gift card as well from BYO as well as the phone. Either they were the manager, didn't care about their job or are going to get a talking to.
      
      Neither JB or Telstra are going to be making much money out of you considering how much everything cost and how much you paid.

  No one, on this deal, as it's not online. You can (sometimes) buy via Telstra live chat, but no cashback.

Cheers OP - got this deal with Google Mini & Headphones from JB Bendigo and copying across data from the Xiaomi Mi 6 that i purchased late last year…
- frugalbat on 01/03/2018 - 14:23
  
  I am using the Mi6 atm, apart from the small screen, it's a great phone. not sure if I should jump on this deal or not
  - urbancartel on 01/03/2018 - 15:00
    
    Yeah the MI6 it was my first non Apple phone and to be honest, it's a great phone for the price…
    
    Couple of things i've noticed since putting them side by side - the Pixel screen brightness is nowhere near as bright as the MI6 and i can see what people are saying about the blue tint - if you're not holding it directly straight to your eyes it has a noticeable blue colour to the screen which doesn't seem great (didn't have any of these problems with the Xiaomi)
    
    Lastly it might take me a bit of getting use to the fingerprint scanner on the back as it doesn't feel as comfortable to me as the Xiaomi and also means the phone has to be picked up to unlock
    - frugalbat on 02/03/2018 - 12:41
      
      The finger print scanner on the Mi6 is quite fast compared to my Ipad -current generation
      I think the screen of Pixel 2 XL will be sharper given the higher ppi, in terms of RAM do you see any lag compared to Mi6 (6Gb vs 4Gb) ? I think it wouldnt be much different unless you open alot of apps/ Chrome browser tab.
      
      I would love to see dual camera on the Pixel 2XL though haha
    - urbancartel on 02/03/2018 - 14:02
      
      @mty:
      
      Both fingerprint scanners are very fast (almost instant)
      
      Haven't noticed any lag from dropping back from 6 to 4gb RAM, like you say I think it will only be noticeable unless you have a heap of apps open.
      
      I've had a play with the camera and the bokeh effect is comparable to the MI6 - i guess it received the best phone camera for a reason :)
      
      I also took out the option for the upgrade after 12 months to a new phone for $140 so if theres a new Pixel out around then I may just upgrade(especially if they fix the blue tint fiasco) :)
- camshandez on 01/03/2018 - 21:50
  
  Did you pick up the last Panda XL from JB? I called them this morning but was after the black. Both Telstra stores in Bendigo (town and marketplace) had no black in stock either :( so going to order one in but probably miss out on Google Home Mini, and for sure no headphones.
  - urbancartel on 01/03/2018 - 22:25
    
    I rang about 9am after thinking about this deal all night - salesperson said they had 2 left (both B&W) so i got him to put one aside for me ;)

- jollster101 on 01/03/2018 - 15:03
  
  My online chat started with me saying…I believe there is a $59 deal for a Google Pixel 2 XL when porting in from another provider. I am currently with Aldi Mobile and I would like to look at signing up.
  
  I had someone called Mary Ann and she said sure, I can help you with that and from there the process flowed.
  
  The chat finished a good 40 mins or so later but I have an order number now.
  
  Of course it may be a different story if you are already with Telstra.

  Same here, have 1 month left on my S7E plan with Telstra ($105 pm, ugh) and have tried multiple online reps for this offer and get back "there are currently no offers on that phone, but we encourage you to sign up to the new S9."
  
  Fingers crossed they come out with a similar offer on the S8 soon, or heck, even an offer for existing loyal customers that have been with them for 8+ years.
  - asimj289 on 01/03/2018 - 15:29

Alright so I was successful in getting the $59 per month deal as advertised. Here are my results:

First attempt failed, the online tech support said the deal was not available

Second attempt successful but no Google Mini Home

Third attempt deal not honoured

Fourth attempt success! Google Home Mini was "available while stocks last". Took my chances and signed up for it.

After finally digging through my mails to find the userid .. was able to login..

Amazing deal was thinking of getting XL outright .. good i didnt earlier..

Tried chatting with multiple reps online for this deal, all agreed as it was Port in but informed no Google mini.
As i was Telstra Broadband customer they agreed to put in Bonus 5 GB data but no other offer online.

Went in JB hifi at macquarie Park, they had stock available so hurray… they gave all the goodies and signed me up quickly. Got myself XL.

Chatted with rep online and informed him directly that i was informed me to go online to support and ask them to Add 10 GB bonus data… without any questions… he added me 10 GB extra data in like 5 mins..

Very Happy … lets see will try International calling for tomorrow.. ;) doubt it but lets see…
