Update: Was asked to remove, store chaos, sold out yesterday

Was just shopping for my wife a new phone and dropped into the good guys Chadstone to have a look at some Xiaomi. The sales guy said as S20 is coming out they are offering the S10 range for zero dollars as long as you sign up to Telstra $65, 60gB plan for 12 months, I thought it sounded a bit dodgy but turned out to be legit. This is how it works, Telstra are offering a $400 gift card to port in from another carrier, the good guys are reducing the outright phones to $400 and then using the gift card (if you want) to have a zero cost phone. My wife got the S10+, happened to be when they pulled it out to be the 512mb version instead of the 128mb

So effectively you are getting the S10 / + for $720 $780 over 12 months, 60gb plan.

They had perhaps 10-15 of S10 available, I believe only a couple of S10+

As the majority of commenters have reported being unable to successfully obtain the deal, it has been moved to the forums to preserve discussion.

    Not zero dollars if you have to pay for a plan, which you even say.

      You have to pay for a plan whatever phone you have. The phone itself ended up zero, no repayments or costs. Its an accurate statement, as per the receipt, walked out without handing over a cent.

        Your original title was "Samsung galaxy S10/S10+ zero dollars @ good guys" which isn't an accurate statement though as there are additional costs involved.

      I thought it was when the first sales guy said it, but its exactly what they were doing.

        So the store, who is owned by JB is doing phones for around $800 less….

        When something sounds too good to be true…. considering you can just cancel that contract and get it for $390 odd…. yeah I doubt it.

        24 Months I could believe. Still a notable deal if so.

        • wobblydrow on 22/02/2020 - 18:42

          How can you cancel the plan when you have ported your number?

    Holy crap, this is an incredible deal.

    Wish I had less than 9 months left on my boost pack, I'd be all over this. Cheaper than buying an S10+ outright.

    This smells rank.

    Even if you did actually get this bargain, I think it's isolated; no matter what the salesman explained to you.

    They'd be losing many hundreds per contract, and that makes zero business sense.

        Cool thanks. F'ing good deal.

      • [Deactivated] on 22/02/2020 - 20:47

        hey mate so how do you get the s10 or s10+ for 400, is it if you port in you get the phone for 400 then by signing up you get $400 gift card so use the gift card to cover the cost of the phone

        Many thanks if you can clarify as I need a new phone and my contract is ending in ~1 month

        • wobblydrow on 22/02/2020 - 21:27

          As i explained the deal is they want to clear the S10 rane, so they will drop the ticket price to 400 if you sign up to the $65 telstra plan and port from another carrier. As part of the deal Telstra are offerring a $400 gift voucher for moving to them (not sure if this is just for good guys or not). You can keep the voucher, or else use it to make the phone zero cost , so your just paying the plan fee

I have no idea why the reason is they have done this, and i dont care, but I am happy we got a deal and thought others may be able to benefit. Obviously next time i wont bother and buy them all up, pay out the contracts and put them on ebay.

    When i see these kind of comments makes me never post any kind of a deal. NO ONE is obligated to post you anything, share anything, give anything, promise anything etc. OP posted the deal out of GOOD WILL, with only one intention, so YOU could also get this deal, he explained how, what the situation was, stock that he saw, receipt etc. What else do you want, his soul? Seriously this society is getting sicker and sicker by day, and this is just 0.00000001% aspect of life, where's everything else. Thanks for the deal OP and good luck to those that are interested to give it a go.

        Good work proving the point, mate.

        If you don't believe it, just pass on by, you're not forced to buy it just because it appears to be a terrific deal, and you don't have the RIGHT to buy it just because someone was good enough to share the information here.

        Correct, these (profanity) have pulled deals early even when they have been advertised in store and online. Look at the recent Nintendo console price error where some stores honoured the price and others didn't. They have no consistency.

        Also doesn't look like a standard deal as the invoce says "auth KA" so it looks like a manager override for a reason none of us know.

        However, if it is a legitimate deal it's an absolute bargain and well done OP for scoring this deal.

          That looked odd to me too, but yeah the Switch issues were just another.

          This screams out lucky deal for one individual to me. Good luck to him.

          • unity1 on 22/02/2020 - 21:51

            @scuderiarmani: They have pulled Telco gift card deals early too. Two of which were posted here and people scored over the weekend. By the time I went in store on the Monday they pulled the deal even though it hadn't expired.

        I'm confused. Are you not believing that OP got the deal or not believing that you'll be able to get the deal? I just don't see the motivation for OP to lie lol. Yeah it was posted after closing time, but maybe OP has a life that they didn't put on hold to share the bargain

        P.S. Kind of tired of the level of entitlement in the "give me sufficient proof or it didn't happen" comments.

            @scuderiarmani: mate, you clearly are not getting the point.

            There's no apologising to do on either side. There is NO reason to get defensive (which you did with your "what does the receipt show comment").

            THIS IS NOT AN ADVERT. OP IS NOT ASSOCIATED TO THE STORE.

            OP is LITERALLY just sharing info on a deal he noticed. NOBODY IS PROMISING THAT OTHERS WILL GET THE DEAL.

            You are treating this post like it was the rep from TGG that's trying to bait people to the store.

            @scuderiarmani: I understand why you're sceptical, I just don't understand why you keep posting your scepticism and demanding things from the OP. If you care about saving people time why not go to sleep, wake up before stores open and post a clear message warning people that there's not enough credibility from the OP and/or not enough evidence that the deal will be obtainable.

            I'm uncomfortable with the whole apology thing because it implies that apologies will be owed. And you already seem to feel like you're owed a lot. Chill out and remember that this is a community largely based on goodwill

                Phone your local store the moment it opens to ask them to put aside stock for you. Spend your day doing whatever you want. Then check ozbargain at some point, and if the deal is genuine, congrats! Your store put aside a phone for you and you can drive- or heck, even take a scenic walk there

          I believe and trust the OP. It's TGG you can't trust as they have shown from time to time they are inconsistent and will even pull advertised deals early. This is not an advertised deal so TGG can make up any BS not to honour this in other stores, as WA people have already confirmed.

              @Crumydog: I think you are a little confused. Thats $399 ontop of the $780 plan. Essentially a double discount, no biggie, it happens often on many phones.

              This is essentially 3 lots of discounts…. Not likely.

                as what i understand is you sign up to telstras $65 a month plan for 12 months and you get a $400 giftcard. the iphone XR is $399 so then you would use the $400 giftcard to pay for the phone up front and then $65 a month for 12 months from then on…????

                • scuderiarmani on 23/02/2020 - 07:53

                  @Crumydog: Uh no.

                  It's $399 AFTER the $400 Gift card.

                  Compare the plus votes on that deal to this…. That's a regular style deal, Note 10 had a double up discount last weekend too.

  • bargainbuyer11 on 22/02/2020 - 19:02
    +1

    You know to make this deal even better, after you signup, keep the phone for 2 weeks and then cancel the plan.

    When cancelling you only have to pay 50% of the plan amount for the remaining duration as a early termination charge.

    So here’s how it would work

    $65 x 12 = $750
    Cancel the plan after 1 week $32.50 x 12 = $390

    And if you don’t plan to keep the phone, sell it for $450/$500 on eBay and still make a +/-$100 profit after all the fees ad shipping costs.

    PS: I am going to give this a try tomorrow.
