It seems like only at Harvey Norman stores?

Need a new phone yesterday, went to one of the stores yesterday, surprisingly I received further 20% off the discounted $105 promo plan (originally $125)
So instead off $125, I am now paying $84 for the plan.

Only available for Port-in customers from another service provider, so I bought a Telstra sim to do so.

The deal I got was

IphoneX 256GB on $105 plan (20% off =$84) plus $10 repayment for the phone = $94 monthly
Min.Total cost over 24 months is $2256
Given that the phone is worth ~$1600 outright, the difference is only $656. so its only $27.33 per month for 24 months

and I get all of these…..

100GB of data
Unlimited standard national calls and data
Unlimited International calls and text
4GB of Roaming Data

Amazing deals!! Better get yours today!

Nice pickup there!
Video unmetered isn’t included in that plan, it’s extra. Mind you with 100gb it doesn’t matter.
Also the new global roaming setup is much less painful than previous.

Can we port out and port back in for this offer? Has anyone been successful in doing this for Optus?
- Antikythera on 09/08/2018 - 15:06
  
  i did it from optus post paid -> telstra pre paid $2 sim -> optus post paid plan several months ago to get a new deal only availiable to new customers. one suggestion i found when researching, was to make sure you arent doing it from optus to an optus reseller and back, as that may stuff up the port process. it is also wise to do it over a couple of days so the port out has time to propagate through the system correctly.
  - shrugies on 10/08/2018 - 12:19

  Ok fellas. Did it at the harvey norman store richmond. Was told to port out and signed on at a telstra store with a prepaid on the sunday. Takes 24 hours to process if done on sunday. If not it takes 15mins to 6 hours on a weekday to port back.
  
  Signed up for the note 9 preorder. 125 plan minus 20 dollars plus 20%off discount. All staff in the store assured me it was okay. No issues in porting in and out very easy and fast.

I got a 10% student discount for it and got the price down to $82.50 a month. Sell the phone for 1600 and now the plans essentially 100gb for $15/month. The staff told me earlier today it ends 14th. But I did also hear another staff say 20th
- misterpotatomato on 09/08/2018 - 14:08
  
  How did you do that? Did you have to show student ID?
  - BlazinPast on 09/08/2018 - 14:10
    
    Talked to optus chat afterwards. You just need an .edu email and they'll send a promo.
    - fozzie on 09/08/2018 - 14:50
      
      Hi ,
      I’m also interested. So you go and buy phone from Harvey and then later chat to them? I cannot work out how that’d work.
- Monstro on 09/08/2018 - 14:35
  
  Hey BlazinPast!
  
  That sounds like an amazing deal! Great job!
  
  Could you please explain the whole process to get it down to $82.50? And this is the 256GB variant I assume?
  
  Is it:
  1. Go to store ask for further 20% off on the reduced 125 (105) plan.
  2. Talk to Optus chat afterwards and provide .edu email.
  3. They'll send promo code but where to use this?
  
  Thanks in advance!
  - BlazinPast on 09/08/2018 - 14:39

    Yeah it's already $105. Get 20% off to get the price down to $84. From there pick the iPhone and it'll add $10 to the plan to $94. Then talk to Optus chat afterwards to get the 10% off for being a student. Technically it's $84.60 but for whatever reason mine turned out being $82.50. Depending on how much you sell the iPhone for, the plan can end up being $14-25 a month.
    - Monstro on 09/08/2018 - 14:40
      
      Thanks man! Was it easy to get the further 20%? Simple as asking?

      @Monstro: Yeah the staff are already aware. Call the store beforehand to double check and confirm they have the phone you want in stock. It might be more complicated to get the student discount but I managed to get it done first try.

    - BlazinPast on 27/08/2018 - 14:07
      
      @mdy21: it's a luck of the draw. You just have to keep asking different people until someone does it for you. I told them that I was told by optus that I could do it afterwards online and it's the main reason I went for the plan. You just have to be as convincing as possible

    Initially spoke to the sales team they said no and then I asked the billing team they add the 10% student discount. Just tell them that you forgot to add your email id at the time of purchasing. They will ask you for email id and discount code.
    - BlazinPast on 12/08/2018 - 21:24
      
      I guess you were unlucky. You just have to keep asking until someone's willing to do it.

      Technically there is - I used it to return my iPhone 8 ($59p/m) for the iPhone8+ ($64p/m) at the start of the year. Do not tell them its for a change of mind, just find an area where coverage isn't great Optus for their cancellation reason/notes.

      I also returned a phone using their "Take our Mobile network for a practice run" condition earlier this year. It was easy to do - just called them on about day 25 and said I wanted to cancel, they sent a prepaid return envelope out, and I sent them back the phone.
      
      They cancelled the plan no problems, so I just paid the first month. But they kept sending me bills for the handset for a few months until I complained and they finally got it sorted out. Take photos of the phone and package so you can demonstrate that you actually returned it.
      
      Not sure if it matters, but I purchased it from an Optus shop.

the iPhone x 256gb is going for around 1400 mark after PayPal fees. I'd base the math off of $1400 instead of 1600. Still a great deal for the plan.

Did you have to get a new number if it's only available for port-in customers? Want to keep my existing optus number but seems like a pain to port it to a new sim and then back again to optus.

    I enquired at my local optus store. Advice was contract number is tied to phone so you can't transfer number after you set it up. If you want to port to a different provider and port back to optus you need more than a week to do so otherwise their system won't recognise it.

- itsMartin on 09/08/2018 - 16:22
  
  Buy a new prepaid SIM card from Telstra or Vodafone and activate it, porting your number. Should take maybe 10 mins.
  
  Then walk into Harvey Norman and tell them you want to port your number over from Telstra/Vodafone.
  - tastybaklava on 10/08/2018 - 13:41
    
    Unless anyone else can comment with actual experience to the contrary, it actually takes about a week for the porting to occur, so it's not a quick process to port out and back in.
    - CyberMurning on 11/08/2018 - 12:07
      
      Not weeks, minutes. More than 3 day means issues then yes it will become weeks or months or indefinitely.
      
      Issues are wrong spelling name, DOB, previous provider account number, etc
      
      if it is weeks to port you can imagine the economy will fails as people can't do businesses for weeks. Make sense?

      What I meant was for it to 'drop off' the incumbent telco's record as being a service with them. You'll find that many will knock back a port-in until you've been away from them for a full billing cycle.

Anyone know whether you can stack another discount with this offer. Optus are doing a Data Sim Saver offer where you "Save $10/mth off a new 12/24 mth Data SIM for your tablet when you bundle it with your eligible Optus postpaid mobile".

    $59 and $79 PLANS (not including phone repayment) are excluded from the deal.
    
    Also, apparently HN contacts Optus when you try to sign up with your mobile phone number and if they see you have ported out recently, they won't allow the sale to go through :/
    
    S9+ 256GB on the $79+10 plan is an absolute steal :( really wanted it

      Thank you for clarifying this. I kept debating if I should try the port out and back in thing but if it's 180+ days on another Telco plus a history check I won't risk it.
      
      I also wanted the S9. Optus do have some online bonus data deals until 2/09 but this deal looked much better.
