Just saw this in Melbourne CBD
Telstra BYOD on a $65 plan gives you 60gb data.
Also gets you $500 Jb Gift card or get a iphone 7 32gb
Ends 4/5
After gift card the plan works to be $280 over 12 months and $23.33 a month
Previous deal was $55, 60GB + $300 gift card - works out $360 over 12 months and $30 a month
JB Cockburn confirmed deal today and tomorrow only.
Can confirm this is indeed a 12 month contract. Ends 4/5.
Fantastic, thanks! Is it all stores?
I also would like to know which stores.
Yes, it's company wide. If the team member isn't aware, ask them to check the store SharePoint.
If what you say is true I'll sign up. Wonder if it's available in Sydney
Says 24 months onsite
In store offers may be different. Online is also 80GB per month and $300/$500 phone voucher, not a gift card.
That's a lot of money for an iPhone 7
JB's website notes 24 months AND the credit value is subject to:
"To receive the $500 phone credit the handset purchase price must be a minimum value of $999. Phone credit can’t be used on any other items in store. handset must be purchased the same day the connection is made."

what is the expiry date the for the gift card? two years?
They don't expire any more, it's printed on the back now.
its illegal to have it below 3 years now
Its for new customers only.
Has anyone ever ported a phone over to a different provider for these sorts of plans? The MRS needs a new phone and we are on the $69 dollar 60Gb sim only plan reduced by $10 for having multiple services.
yeah my MRS did. Was with Virgib Mobile post and moved to Telstra post. No hassle.
Does anyone know if telcos put timeframes on how long between porting, cause if i port out of telstra and then port back in can this all be done in a few hours?
Depends on the store/person. I've been told no wait a month, than went down the road and done it immediately. Two seperate occasions.
Yeah they changed it last year I believe. My wife and I switch carriers every year but make sure one stays with Telstra or Optus to get the perks from both. Ported to optus prepaid last October for a few days and then tried the JB gift card deal, but they said I’d need to be switched for at least 30 days. Then I was stuck in limbo and no carrier would treat me as a “new” customer= no special deal.
@DryScissors: Wow thats a massive dissapointment. I know they offer these deals to get people to switch over carriers, but its more reason to jump shit to a different carrier because they dont offer the loyal customers these products.
Rang Strand Pitt St store.
Two long running deals:
$45 for 50gb and $200 card, 12 month plan.
$65 deal for 60gb. 12 months gets you a $300 gift card, 24 months gets you a $500 gift card.
For two days only they are offering the $500 gift card on the 12 month plan. And it's a JB gift card, doesn't have to be used on a phone.
Solid deal
Will upgrade the other half
Same for World Square Sydney.
When does the $500/12month start end?
$50 gift card for $45/m 12months plan?
$45x12m=$540-$500gift card=$40for 50gb over 12months?
$500 gift card how long it’s valid for?
Forever no expiry
great! thank you
Can anyone confirm that this deal is 12 months not 24 months?
See post directly above.
These JB plans don't have included international calls. Cannot add international calling packs either.
Well, I think at this price you are asking too much. At least the plan cover all the basic need with heaps of data.
300 AUD 12 months plan from Boost has unlimited international calling. Telstra need to bump their offering.
$300 for 240gb data over 12 months
are you comparing 20gb data p/m with 60gb data p/m?
Depends what you want from the plan. Also, the fact that international call pack cannot be added is not mentioned anywhere.
you could switch the plan to a Telstra plan later i suppose ?
You can, but not 100% guaranteed. I have moved from JB plan to telstra plan to get POM, but it took me talking to 5 different rep until the last one finally agreed to change my plan.
What's POM?
@Rakddon: Peace of mind data. Basically when you run out data, you don't get additional charged, but instead your internet speed will be cut down to 1.5mbps.
Worth knowing but just use apps like WhatsApp or buy credit for Skype etc
I was pretty set on Boost $300/24Gb before I saw this deal. I don't need more than 20Gb a month and the extra $480 I have to pay on Telstra pretty much wipes out the $500 gift card anyway. Boost is still a better deal if you don't need the extra data.
What's the minimum time you need to be a non Telstra customer?
I'm with Telstra now but can I port out to another provider tonight then port into the Telstra deal?
(lets say 1 hour)
You need to use it for a month or 1 billing cycle before you could port out to this deal.
I'm with boost atm and I'm thinking of porting to Vodafone prepaid today then port to jbhifi tomorrow, will it be possible?
I asked the store this exact question. They said 1 month if was to port to another provider (eg Optus) and take up the plan. I am unsure how accurate this information was - as the person asked their manager
Nope yesterday i am still use telstra and bought $10 prepaid optus sim. Cancel the plan with telstra and get this $45 deals with jb with 50 gigs. I even got $10 discount monthly credit for porting in to telstra as new customer hahahaa.
Was the port in credit from JB or from Telstra live chat?
Edit - Just saw a post further down, for those also wondering it is from live chat.
i was in the store and they said this offer is also for customers upgrading their existing plan with Telstra
so it's confirmed $500 gift card with 12 month $65 plan?
no for 12 months it is only $300.
@Jaff: Didn’t they confirmed it $500 for 12 month plan only for two days? Check above abc12345’s comment
@abc12345: As in you ‘did 2 numbers’ that already were on Telstra? I was told in store it’s for ported in numbers only.
Would be interested in hearing if anyone has managed to get this deal being an existing customer.
I am out of contract so basically on a month to month plan.
thats what i asked and was told existing customers can upgrade to the offer
No go at the rude galleries store here in Sydney
They wouldn't do it at Germside
I'd be very surprised if that's the case, and not a mistake.
I tried to port from boost (a telstra company) and got denied in Melb
I was the same, Telstra to Voda, back to Telstra within 1 hour.
Worked on 2 different numbers.
You ported out from Telstra to vida then ported into Telstra in this deal all within 1 hour?
Yep. No issue.
Voda store in Wynyard, went back to my desk and registered the sim card and for My Vodafone.
Waited about 15 mins then went to Pitt St JB.
@abc12345: Weird. They asked me if I was recently on Telstra as they could tell I recently ported out to Optus. Anyone know the deal?
Anybody get the 128GB iPhone 7 for an extra $100 instead of the 32GB? ($749 for 128GB vs $649 for 32GB)
Does this sim plan allow data tethering?
no
Like hotspot and stuff? I have the $45 one and I can.
Yes hotspot, thank you!
Sorry I assumed you were referring to data sharing
I did a port out to optus for a day and back to Telstra for this deal last tie it was around and they offered a iPHone 8 for $600 with it.
Didn’t work for me today unfortunately
Any expiry date on the gift card for those that have taken up this offer?
JB no longer has an expiry as mentioned above
Thank you. That’s good to know.
It would have been great, if it had international calls included in it. Telstra $59 plan has included in it.
i am in the same boat. JB said their plans are exclusive and telstra cannot add the pack later even if they wanted to.
Let me know if I have understood this correctly. If I port over to JB and buy this phone https://www.jbhifi.com.au/phones/Outright-Mobile-Handsets/hu…
I will pay the following:
$1599 - $500 JB gift card = $1,099 - $200 egift card = $899 + $65 month for 12 months
Do they take the $200 off the phone? I wouldn't think they did, so it would likely be $1099 with a leftover $200 gift card to spare.
Yeah true it would be $200 to spend on something else instead so not technically off the phone
Still a good deal all things considered!
No I haven't. Wasn't after one but thought I would check out what would work out to be the best phone deal for my sis who broke her phone.
Tried to do it today porting from Telstra > Aldi this morning then went to JB HiFi, they put through the order but when I went back to collect my Gift Card Telstra had rejected the port-back and the JB rep told them I hate to wait 30 days, unfortunately.
Maybe because Aldi uses the Telstra network, so you wouldn’t be considered a new customer or porting might be a bit more complicated, instead of had you switched to Optus or Vodafone.
I just ported 2 existing Telstra numbers to Voda pre paid and then back to Telstra in the space of an hour.
All done. $1000 of gift cards.
Were the Telstra numbers you ported prepaid or postpaid?
12 or 24 month?
Did they ask if you were on Telstra in the last month?
Checked with my local jb (the glen), only $200 gift card pkus $300/$500 off handset.
Its JB HiFi wide.Try a different store if they refuse.
Hi all. Looking for advice. Is it worth me giving up my Optus cable broadband and taking up this Telstra 4g option instead? I currently pay $65 for Optus cable with patchy service and I won't get NBN until 2021 (if I'm Lucky!) I figure if I buy this and a 4g router this could be a cheaper option when you factor in the gift card. Will I get better or at the very least the same quality of service from Telstra 4g as I'm currently getting from Optus Cable do you think? I'm in metro Melbourne…

This sounds like a 24m plan. You sure it's 12 months? I hope it's available in Perth.
