Considering the cost of this new phone which sells for $1199, this is a ripper deal with a $800 discount (better than a $500 GC)! Color OS may not be for everyone though!

Bear in mind, this is NOT the 5G model selling for $1499!

Plan inclusions: Unlimited National calls & SMS | 60GB Data | No International calls included.

Credit to Doweyy for the link. You can also claim the Bose Soundsport Free Wireless Headphones via redemption here if purchased before 14/07/2019!

The headphones go for about $200 when on Sale!

As per this comment, people have changed to the new BYO month to month plan with no ETC.

      The question now becomes are they going to give grief when cancelling or porting out?

      • User2049 on 06/07/2019 - 09:49

        Didn't for me just asked once then cancelled it all for me

    • Jackkkkkk on 06/07/2019 - 10:11

      Will give this a go today and share my experience :)

  • NutnButAPnut on 06/07/2019 - 10:59

    Im terrible with this stuff but prob gonna go in and do this today. Although i have been with telstra for 15+ years that was under my mums name/account and never got my own cuz i like the number. She just gets the bills and i pay them. So i would technically be a new customer

    Can i just walk in and ask for this deal and they will sort it or do i have to go get a non telstra prepaid sim set up and take it in with me to get it ported? Then i go home and get telstra to change it to the $50 month to month plan and get those free headphones obviously. Plus get my number off mums account cancelled/changed to prepaid? so im not paying 2 bills

    Anything im missing?

    • Sherbert on 06/07/2019 - 12:24

      I think you're going to have to do the latter, as all JB hi fi will be able to do is sell you the phone and set you up on the Telstra phone plan. The rest is all through Telstra, because if you ask the JB hi fi sales person they are going to tell you it's a 12 month contract and that there will be an early termination fee but its just not the case on Telstra's end.

      They way you specified above would work, the only other way I could think of would be to first port your current Telstra number under your mum's name to a different mobile company using one of those $2 Sims and then taking that to JB hi fi and getting them to port that number back to telstra. That's if you want to keep that number as you said that you liked it and then saves you the hassle of having to talk to Telstra later about changing that plan. You just have to make sure that before you port your current number away from Telstra that you're not in a plan where you would have to pay out the remaining balance, like a plan with the inclusion of a phone, or you could get caught out with that.

    • truetypezk on 06/07/2019 - 13:08

      Also if you are looking to cancel the plan shortly like most here, it would be better to bring your mum as an existing Telstra customer which greatly simplies the sign up process and avoid another credit check.

  • Jackkkkkk on 06/07/2019 - 12:09

    JB Staff advised there will be ETCs so I didnt go ahead. He warned even if they didn’t mention it, you will get ETC

    • arctan on 06/07/2019 - 13:00

      Of course JB will say that, no point to ask that just go ahead if you game enough.

      • Jackkkkkk on 06/07/2019 - 23:26

        JB staff is an OzB user also.. he knows about this and mentioned ETC may apply regardless of the loophole..

      I took the chance even if I stated above that i wouldn’t. I was told by Telstra rep via live chat, in verbatim. “there won’t be any charge for this one that I can assure”. I reconfirmed by asking “no ETC fees”. Rep said “Correct.” Then I went ahead with the change. Took a screenshot and emailed the transcript to me as well as evidence. The rep was super nice too, no questions asked really apart from which one do I want to change to.

      That was almost 23 hrs ago. He said the changes will take up to 48 hrs to occur. My telstra account now shows that I am ‘out of contract’ and the amount that I will pay is $0 for early termination. My data allowance has changed as well according to the month to month plan that I selected. Just waiting for the Plan name itself to change, atm it is still JB 12 month BYO.

      Hope that helps.

  • NotAnAudiophile on 06/07/2019 - 13:21

    The whole reason this is possible is because officially when you change from the 12 month byo plan (which is what JBHiFi plan is) you are supposed to get charged a ETC but Telstra can decide whether to waive it or not.

  • arctan on 06/07/2019 - 16:32

    Anyone know if Telstra chat still online this weekend?

    • [Deactivated] on 06/07/2019 - 17:18

      24/7

      • arctan on 06/07/2019 - 19:51

        Just went to JB hi-fi and ported in my number. After 5 mins it's gone through. Then loaded up Telstra chat and switched to the $60 monthly plan. confirmed there is no penalty or fees involved. All good so far but will wait and see when the plan name changes in app tomorrow or Monday.

  • NotAnAudiophile on 06/07/2019 - 21:45

    To be honest I think the phone is really not worth the rrp of 1.2k compared to something like the k20 pro.

    • thekensai on 06/07/2019 - 23:00

      fresh on the market, what do you expect, 800? wait for half a year at least

      • NotAnAudiophile on 12/07/2019 - 06:52

    Does anyone know if activating a sim card works on a Sunday? I want to give this a try but didn't want to waste time and money to buy a sim if it doesn't work.

    • arctan on 07/07/2019 - 12:49

      Not working on Sunday. You can submit the port today but you will need to wait till monday morning to find out.

      • apprentice on 07/07/2019 - 13:23

        JB Hi Fi will only give you the phone after the port in activated. Is there a risk Telstra stops allowing moving from 12 months contract plan to month to month on Monday?

        • truetypezk on 07/07/2019 - 14:33

          Not necessarily, u can try another store and they might not care about the porting status according to my own experience.

  • NotAnAudiophile on 07/07/2019 - 06:21

    Looks like it's all over as it's an in store buy only and no stock available in store as per JBHiFi website. Ends Sunday too.

    • [Deactivated] on 07/07/2019 - 08:59

      Interestingly, there were no stocks available except for one store around me last Friday. But when I rang the store that had the stock for ocean green only, I was told to try other stores to check for jet black. I did, and found stocks of the jet black and the ocean green when JB Hifi Online store said no stock. So best to ring specific stores and see what they have 😊

      • arctan on 07/07/2019 - 12:50

        Plenty stock at Sydney cbd stores yesterday. I got mine from the world square store and they have a few more left.

    • truetypezk on 07/07/2019 - 14:36

      U can just go ahead and give it a try. I was told that if I somehow changed my mind I could bring the phone back for a refund. I suppose that means I could get out of the contract too.

      • apprentice on 07/07/2019 - 15:00

        Thanks for that. I might now go ahead and sign up. I wouldn't propbably go for either an Oppo phone or Telstra plan otherwise.

  • yummypinacolada on 07/07/2019 - 23:11

    Oh no, I just found out about this, and it ends tonight. FML

  • NotAnAudiophile on 08/07/2019 - 08:02

    Its over guys. I'm now on prepaid….

    • apprentice on 08/07/2019 - 08:39

      What do you mean by "you are now on prepaid"? Did you sign up for this on $65/month plan and can't now move to month to month plan?

      • NotAnAudiophile on 08/07/2019 - 08:42

        Changed to month by month as most others here. Then changed over to prepaid, now no contract at all.

        • apprentice on 08/07/2019 - 08:45

          I signed up for the deal yesterday in JB hifi but porting was not completed. So couldn't pay for the phone and didn't contact telstra 24/7 to change plan. My number has been ported in this morning. I will go pay for the phone at 10am. Do you think I will still be able to pay for the phone now and move to month to month plan?

          • NotAnAudiophile on 08/07/2019 - 09:10

            @apprentice: The only thing i can say is to do it fast - loophole will be closed sooner or later. But that's moot, cuz the offer is officially over at JB anyway.

          • CosaNoztra on 08/07/2019 - 09:36

            @apprentice: Same here, mine didn't go through on JB hifi's side but number got ported and got all those welcome emails from Telstra. Heading in now to pickup my phone.

        • [Deactivated] on 08/07/2019 - 22:33

          Did u get a final bill? And did you have to pay for the whole month to month service for the days you were in it?

    • apprentice on 08/07/2019 - 13:44

      I have finally done mine.

      Received a missed call from JB Hi Fi. Not sure what that was for. Has anyone been contacted by JB? Don't want to call them back without knowing.

  • arctan on 08/07/2019 - 09:48

    Anyone is able to switch from JB hifi contract this morning to new Telstra monthly plan?

    • auindie on 08/07/2019 - 10:08

      Yes I did one hour ago to the 50 dollar plus 10 dollar international month to month plan with no contract termination fees. No was ported this morning though the activation git completed yesterday afternoon

  • cpox10 on 08/07/2019 - 11:21

    Been noted yesterday by Telstra that they don't charge you the ETC.

    However its actually JB who charge you the ETC, as the JB system detects a plan change.

    This will get reflected on your Telstra bill as they have access to it.

    Not sure if that's correct but just be careful

    • 2023 on 08/07/2019 - 12:16
      +1

      I'll be chasing telstra for rembursment if that does happen on my account, as telstra first mentioned the ETC, but then told me they would waive it.
      To me that implies its a telstra charge, along with the fact that bills on my old JB Hifi plan are directly from telstra.

      Aren't JB Hifi just a reseller (middleman), they don't handle payments, billing etc?

      • NotAnAudiophile on 08/07/2019 - 12:50

        Correct. The whole point is that Telstra could charge the ETC, but they are the ones who decided to waive it upon request and change the plan. There is no way we can force Telstra to change the plan if they don't allow it.

      • n0mad on 08/07/2019 - 13:34

        agree, additionally they need to make you aware of any fees prior to changing plans not after the fact.

      • arctan on 09/07/2019 - 12:11

        I think JB hi-fi gets commission on signing up people in contract. They get paid by Telstra and then after that it's all handled by Telstra, JB hifi doesn't control things after porting in is done nor the billing process. Anyone works or worked for JB hi-fi can share some insights on this?

  • arctan on 09/07/2019 - 12:09

    Someone already mentioned that he cancelled the number and got final bill less than $2. So I guess no ETC from Telstra then. Anyone else has cancelled number can share the experience and final bill amount? Plenty of us already switched to prepaid plan.

    • triplenet on 09/07/2019 - 13:29

      did that, done that, sold the phone and bought the s10. I tried using for a few days but it was too big for me.

      • thekensai on 09/07/2019 - 14:41

        how much did you sell it for? care to share? cheers

        • triplenet on 10/07/2019 - 01:43

          I actually swapped it but I was able to claim the Sound sport Free. So, I guess it's a plus for me.

  • yummypinacolada on 09/07/2019 - 20:19

    Too bad I miss this, since its probably the last time people could get away with this loophole. Pretty sure JB are now aware people are doing this and probably will amend next deal so that there will be no loophole.

    • 2023 on 09/07/2019 - 23:18

      Probably won't be a next deal, with telstra stitching to month to month no lock-in, will there even be 12mth sim only plans for jb hifi to sign people up to?

      • NotAnAudiophile on 10/07/2019 - 07:26

        Probably the last of its kind. I'm happy to have got in, after missing the $500 JB gift card equivalent deal early in the month.

  • NotAnAudiophile on 10/07/2019 - 07:25

    I don't have a bill yet, and I'm unsure if I'll ever get one, as my plan was changed to prepaid on Sat.

    • OzSikh on 10/07/2019 - 08:09

                      Also I dont mean to sound like a smart arse but why dont you keep the chat record as most of us are expecting that something might go wrong so it is safer to back it up with an explicit waiver in live chat record.
