    Sick, 12 months plan too

    • DemocracyManifest on 31/10/2019 - 22:12

      But I'm wondering if the 24 month interest free deal is superior, it probably is

      • bargaineer on 31/10/2019 - 22:21
        +1

        Depends. If you want a full Telstra service, this is better value.

        The interest free deal you're paying the full price for the phone.

        After 12 months, you can downgrade to a $45 plan, and over 24 months, it's the best deal you'll get for an iPhone with the full Telstra experience (if you're able to front up the initial dollars for the discounted iPhone).

      • CricNix on 01/11/2019 - 09:13

        Is there any interest free 24 month deal without a monthly fee?

        • DemocracyManifest on 01/11/2019 - 10:06

          Depends what interest free card you can get, I have credit line and it's $5 a month but it's easy to get

          • CricNix on 01/11/2019 - 10:45

            @DemocracyManifest: Yeah I think ZIP can also offer for $6 per month but there's nothing in the market without a setup / monthly fee.

            If you add up these monthly costs and combine with a monthly mobile plan that you'll get anyway, you'll probably end up paying more or less the same.

  • xxxx84 on 31/10/2019 - 22:25

    Is this deal expiring on 31/12??

    • bargaineer on 31/10/2019 - 22:48

            +2

            @diazepam: Yeah changed from the $65 jb hifi to $50 m2m then to prepaid which will cancel in a month or so if i don't top up

            All up cost me $3 because I did it over a couple days

            • Pricebeat on 02/11/2019 - 07:42

              @jrjr: How did you approach this? If I could ask

            • Latrentis on 14/11/2019 - 18:54

              @jrjr: Might want to wait until you see an actual bill as I was in the same boat and changed to $50 m2m plan was told initially no additional costs etc. Found out later via chat there would be a $370 ETC applied once Telstra generated the bill as plan was signed up through JB. Managed to get rep to change back to original $65/month plan. Good luck though as maybe just my bad luck….

      With this + the Boost offer, it’s almost like they’re trolling their new customers.

      • DemocracyManifest on 31/10/2019 - 22:57

        I want to give it a go, literally ported out of Telstra after a 24 month contract today, seems Vodafone is a winner for porting out of, wondering if they will let me or not

        • StonedWizard on 31/10/2019 - 23:02

          @SirMurduck - I had issues porting from Optus, so ported to Vodafone to try porting to Telstra and it's still not working.

          For some there is no issue, but for others no matter what the problem is there.

          Annoyingly Telstra don't know when this will be resolved.

          • DemocracyManifest on 31/10/2019 - 23:06

            @StonedWizard: Woah, its almost worth just getting a prepaid sim and doing the deal and getting paid out by Telstra

          • DemocracyManifest on 01/11/2019 - 16:18

            @StonedWizard: No issue with amaysim today activated a $2 Sim and did it that way

            • StonedWizard on 01/11/2019 - 22:17

              @DemocracyManifest: @SirMurduck - Good to hear.

              I tried reporting to Telstra on Wednesday from a different provider and my number got struck again. I believe it’s not an issue for most but people need to be aware of the warning signs so they don’t get the run around.

    • Maxxjet on 31/10/2019 - 23:08

      Pretty much sign up to this plan and port over from Optus/Vodafone.
      Buy iPhone for $500 off. (Get TGG GC at 5% off)
      Chat to live chat to change plan to M2M (anyone know if we can do this online?) with no ETC.
      Once on M2M, start new live chat and cancel M2M or go pre-paid.
      Pay for pro-rata charges and get iPhone for $500 off RRP + 5%.

  • DemocracyManifest on 01/11/2019 - 16:35

    They are rolling out a new system that allows Telstra and TGG to share data better it seems, relatively painless today, they had to do a credit check and I spoke to a Telstra rep on the phone. I had just been a Telstra customer a day prior but no issues

  • Rakddon on 02/11/2019 - 08:00

    Does anyone know if your local TGG store doesn’t have stock of the phone but it is still order able from them to pick up at a later date but in the meantime we change to m2m n cancel.

    Will this affect me picking up the phone once arrived?

  • Rakddon on 02/11/2019 - 10:58

    Well I’ve signed up about an hour ago and now waiting for TGG to receive an email from Telstra so they can release the phone to me.

    I’ve already gotten the activation email and plan details in my email as well as I can see the new account in the Telstra App.

    Has anyone else had this experience with TGG or JB Hi-Fi?

    • ricardobc2 on 02/11/2019 - 13:19

      Same here,

      • Rakddon on 02/11/2019 - 15:58

        Tell them to check the Telstra Siebel system thats it's connected after u get all the emails confirming it.

        • LLOzBargain on 04/11/2019 - 22:32

          Just wondering did you ask TGG staff to check the system? Were you affected by changing to m2m n cancel for picking up?

  • LJW127 on 02/11/2019 - 16:55

    Keen on this deal but I've just spoken to someone from Telstra chat and they informed me that there is a 'termination fee' charged by JB Hi-Fi if you decide to swap from the 12 month to a M2M contract. Apparently more than $300 if you transfer in the first month. Has anybody heard of this fee? Or should I just keep trying different chat agents? From what I've read changing to M2M was online via Telstra chat so not sure how JB could then charge a fee?

    • Rakddon on 02/11/2019 - 17:02

      Yeah reps today also said that.
      I’ve had no luck but did it online and was no mention of ETC.

      Read more here:

      • LJW127 on 02/11/2019 - 17:33

        So its just a matter of trying different chat agents until one of them waives the charge?

        • Rakddon on 02/11/2019 - 20:55

          yeah but I've tried 7 times over 3.5 hours with no luck.

          Read page 14 of that link.
          some of us did it online without the ETC.

        • Yea nah on 05/11/2019 - 11:50

  • LLOzBargain on 03/11/2019 - 19:41

    Tried in store today, everything was fine until the Telstra credit check. Maybe because I'm student so got rejected. Just wondering if anyone had similar experience? Otherwise I have to get rid of TGG gift cards bought for this deal :(

    • Rakddon on 03/11/2019 - 19:58
      +1

      Yeah you’ll need to pass the credit check otherwise you can’t get it.

      How much cards you got?

      • LLOzBargain on 04/11/2019 - 08:01

        Would you think it worth trying again in another store? Cuz I think the Telstra staff didn't really get my situation correctly.
        I got 255.8 (bought with 4% off) TGG gift card for now cuz the TGG staff said the phone is no in stock, I only have to pay a 20% deposit of the $1279 iphone 11 yesterday. If I find someone who'd like to have them, that would be great.

        • Rakddon on 04/11/2019 - 08:30

          You can try but from experience once it's been declined you will have to wait.

    • StickMan on 04/11/2019 - 16:33

      Something must have happened and Telstra overhauled their credit requirements. I know another person was declined for a plan, even though they currently pay more …. One missed bill killed their chances.

    • LLOzBargain on 04/11/2019 - 22:28

      Tried in another store today and got the offer after almost an hour of credit check. But TGG staff didn’t receive email from Telstra before I left. I paid some deposit and they said just have to wait for pick up.

      • Rakddon on 05/11/2019 - 00:58

        If you get an email it’s complete and TGG wants an email then tell them to check the Telstra system.

        • LLOzBargain on 05/11/2019 - 10:50

          Yeah they got the email and now ordered the iphone for me. But I guess I have to wait until pick up to change the jb65 plan to m2m/cancel in case the order get canceled.

      • DemocracyManifest on 05/11/2019 - 21:16

        Just lie, say you are full time employed, they don’t check
