![[Pre-Order] Samsung Galaxy S10+ (24 Mth 160GB Plan - from $109/Month) & Get Free Upgrade to 5G Version on Release @ Telstra](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/98/439798.jpg?h=58822ce9)
Price Drop Update
After spending a couple of hours battling Telstra online sales rep, I out-did my previous deal of $129/mth and got my wife's S10+ 128GB on $109/mth for the same 160GB XL plan, Buy-out for 24 months & eligible for 5G upgrade.
The catch is this much discount is only available if you have an existing Telstra handset that is yet to be paid off. My wife's Note 8 is still has 7 months left on the contract, which equates to about $400 of handset fee. Since her plan is $20 cheaper than mine, meaning $480 saving over two years plus she gets to shorten her contract by 7 months, I pulled the trigger and went for it.
I confirmed with the sales rep that anyone can get the $109 as long as they still have handset to pay off, regardless of the duration or value. He even asked me if any friends or family wants this deal. So if you only have a couple of months left on your contract, you can actually save quite a bit compare to $129.
Hi all, first time posting here.
Telstra is the only telco that has this Samsung 5G Free-Upgrade option.
Because Telstra stipulated the replacement 5G model is 256GB only - There is little point in getting a 512GB S10+ instead of a 128GB S10+ as Telstra will only compensate 512GB owners with a 256GB Micro SD, where you would be stuck with $10 extra per month over 24 months even after the swap.
If you are an existing customer and order through Telstra webpage, you will get $129 at check out for the XL plan with 160GB per month data allowance.
Otherwise it's $139 per month for non Telstra customers.
It is a pretty sweet deal considering the 5G is rumored to be quite a bit more expensive than the S10+ with bigger battery and screen.

FAQ
Am I eligible for the upgrade offer if a buy a Samsung Galaxy S10e or S10?
No, the upgrade is only available on the Samsung Galaxy S10+. It is available on any consumer or small business plan, and covers Mobile, Mobile Lease and BYO plans (BYO only when a device repayment contract is taken up at the time of purchase).
If I buy the Samsung Galaxy S10+, do I have to switch over to the Samsung 5G handset?
No, it is not compulsory, the choice is yours. If you wish to keep your 4G handset, there is no obligation to exchange it for the 5G handset. If you do wish to upgrade to the Samsung 5G handset, you need to return your phone in good working order up to 21 days after the Samsung 5G handset becomes available.
Do I need to recontract when I switch my phone over to the Samsung 5G handset?
No, you don’t need to recontract, you will stay on your existing plan.
Will my service plan change if I change my phone over?
You must maintain your existing plan in order to redeem the upgrade offer. There will be no changes to your plan or term length.
So the best so far Ive been able to get is $119 for 128GB 160GB XL Plan. with the insurance where if you damage your phone its +10$ extra so $129 but if you damage your phone all u pay is the excess of $190 for a new phone. Thoughts?
