This is a new addition to the offer described here
Was in store today asking about the $45 deal and rep mentioned that they have just started this new deal. I believe the $45 offer is still ongoing.
The plan is described as $65pm on a 12 month contract with a $10pm port-in credit applied until recontract. 60gb data per month. $300 gift card is given on the spot.
For new or port only, not for existing Telstra customers.
It is a rubbish deal that has only garnered 922 + votes and which appears on the top right hand corner of this page in a highlight box titled "Shit Deals - Most voted deals from Mobile category from the last 30 days." Don't worry about it.
Isn't boost 20gb a month though?
Yeah the $300 plan is, works out to $25/month, unlimited international minutes to 30 countries etc if that's useful to you, Boost doesn't have access to Telstra's 4GX network however.
Checked at jbhifi Parra. If you’re with telstra and want to take the $45 deal up, jbhifi rep can sort it out, but will miss out on the gift card. Pretty sure they can also do the same for$55(?).
Has anyone had luck with porting out and back in?

on the only sim plan are you able to get more data?
This deal was available for $55 per month and it included a Huawei P20 Pro and 80gb data just before xmas.
Close, but not exactly correct.
The deal you are referring to is the current $65 BYO over 24 months, but with a $10 credit applied, no to mention the P20 Pro for $0 and the 80gb data.
This particular deal OP has posted is slightly different as it's a 12-month plan.
If I'm on the Telstra network through a reseller (Telechoice) would I be eligible for the deal, or am I classified as an existing Telstra customer?
Yes you can port over.
Only way you have issues is if you're on Telstra or Boost.
This or boost mobile?
Is boost all bulked together or split into monthly data allowances what happens if you go over
Either
Boost best value plans are pay up front 12 months and all data is given at the start
Or get monthly recharge
If you go over on boost you can buy data packs afaik but pricey
For me I can't go wtih Boost, as they don't support the Apple Watch / esim which this JB deal can (extra $5/month)?
Weren't people getting the $10 port in credit through Telstra on the $45 per month plan, effectively making it $35 per month plus $200 GC?
Yep!
How?
Do you get the $10 port in credit at the store? Or do you have to contact telstra after to get it?
Can someone confirm this is the case (@Shekster)? A great deal if that's the case!
I can see they are tryin hard to get some customers from compatititors but no international minutes…. not good with roaming offers…. they ain’t trying that hard tho
For people who dont mind not getting the $300 GC, Telstra currently have their $69 plan (L plan) for 12 months with a $10 port in monthly credit, making it $59 per month for 12 months and this plan includes 60GB data per month, peace of mind data and unlimited calls and SMS to 15 selected destinations (https://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/sim-only-plans).
I recall this $69 Telstra plan was even cheaper earlier this year, when Telstra offered a $20 port in monthly credit making it $49 per month. Via Live Chat, I managed to score the XL plan ($89 per month) for 12 month for $69 per month (after $20 port in monthly credit) which includes global roaming and 90GB each month.
Good deal….roaming kills me
Is this 60GB per month or for the whole 12 months?
Edit: Just re-read it's per month. That's a lot of data!
sorry if this has already been asked/commented, but i assume international roaming/data is not applied with this? there is a separate plan/rates?
Correct roaming is not included - $10 per 200MB basically 1992 prices
thanks MrMaxwell.. thats better than Optus's rates - $1 per 1mb..
Bring back data share telstra!
Do you get the free AFL live subscription with these…also does anyone know if you can cast from the app?
cheers
Yep should be included however casting is limited I believe (either not allowed or capped at low quality)
You do get the free AFL live subscription.
You can't cast from the App and they try pretty hard to stop it.
If you have an android phone, you can install and then the Aussie Addons. Then you can set up Kodi to work with chromecast. Annoying to set up but once you get it going the quality isn't bad - looks like maybe 720p
are you running this all from your phone and chromecast or have you got kodi running on somethign elsE?
cheers
All through the phone. Install Kodi from play store, install Aussie add one following this http://aussieaddons.com/installation/
Then follow the Kodi on Android section of this article https://www.techradar.com/au/how-to/how-to-install-kodi-on-c…
How much data do you get for each plan?
Also what are cancellation fees if after 6 months decide to port out.
Thanks in advance
this or optus student special ($41.25 a month for 80gb data)?
Does the plan go through the Telstra portal, or does JB Hifi act as the retailer like Boost?
Does it have a data bank like Telstra's? 200gb?
tempted to port out then back in
I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're asking - but I'll try answer.
The plan is purchased through JB HIFI. Not Telstra. JB will set it up for you and everything. However, beyond that, you are a Telstra customer with a Telstra account and have all the services etc as you normally would.
It is not like being with Boost - where you are a Boost customer, not a Telstra one.
tempted to port out then back in
I jumped on one of these deals last year, but the 12 months is coming to an end. If you've got any info or tips on porting out/in then that would be great.
Thanks, answered the query perfectly
Im currently on Telstra prepaid.
Was thinking to jump onto this for a month… then transfer in via jbhif

sorry - when does the $55 (65) offer end ?
I went in today to sign up for the $55 ($65) but it apparently ended on the 10th. The staff were surprised.
The $45 w/ $200 Gift Voucher is still available.
Has anyone successfully been with telstra, ported off temporarily, and then back to claim one of their deals?
I signed up last year with one of their deals, but as it'll be reverting back to full price soon I'll be looking for a different option
What are the cancellation fees if you want to cancel after 6 months? I went into jb hi-fi Adelaide today to ask but there is nothing to read and no literature. Their staff are over run with 3 or 4 customers shouting at them at the same time as the place is so understaffed. So I could not find out.
I did find out yesterday that they will give you an iPhone 6s 32gb phone as an alternative to the gift card. It is a Telstra prepaid and so locked to Telstra and requires at least $80 of recharges to unlock the phone.
Try look it up through Telstra. JB doesn't really have anything to do with the plan other than the initial processing and the gift card, so the cancellation policy will be the same as whatever cancellation policy Telstra normally have on their $65 BYO plan.
Telstra don't have a $65 byo plan. The plan is unique to jb hi-fi so I can't find any information summary.
The cancellation policy should be the same still though.
Testras $69 BYO has a maximum of $414 early termination charge.
If you can't be bothered speaking to someone from JB or Telstra, I'd say it's safe to assume a similar charge on the $65 plan.
Took up the plan yesterday. Early termination fee is $390. It is a 12 month contract so you can't just cancel at any time and not expect any fees. $390 is worked out from $65 a month times 6 months. So with getting the gift card the early cancel fee is not big but it's present. The jb hi-fi guy joked that without a fee people would just sign up then port out and take the gift card.
Is the $45 and $200GC still available?
Yes.
I went in today to sign up for the $55 ($65) but it apparently ended on the 10th. The staff were surprised.
I signed up for the $45 plan and revived a $200 Gift Voucher.
Hey mate
I saw your post about JB HI Fi and the 49 dollar deal for new or ported numbers.
I've been with tesltra for over 10 years, i always obviously miss out by being loyal to them as a result.
Is there anything stopping me from getting a new number and then calling up and asking for my number to be transfered over OR by buying an optus prepaid and getting it ported over and then doing it that way (maybe by doing it this way - this could be a loop hole as it is a port first as opposed to a new contract)
a response would be appreciated. Thank you if your volunteering your time to answer this as well.
Thanks
Robert
Looks like all gift card options has expired, just checked
No they haven't
Yesterday I was able to successfully port out of Telstra to Optus for a total of $2 (no recharge), and then back into Telstra within 24 hours, and sign up for the $45 plus $200 gift card offer. Thanks OzB.
The rep did offer me the $55 plan but the signs around the store noted that it expired on 18 March. Whether he wasn’t aware it had expired or he was able to still offer it I’m not sure
Is this offer still on?
Yes, it is.
However I have not had luck getting any JB staff to port me back into Telstra as I only left telstra 7 days ago.
The terms and conditions say you need to have left Telstra for 30 days.
You will see posters above saying they were able to port out and back in within 24 hours. I have done that in the past, but have not been able to this time around.
Any tips to port back early?
What boost?
