    iPhone Xs 64GB + 60gb p/m over 12 months for $979 is a decent price.

    • onlinepred on 16/03/2020 - 16:09

      Yea nothing incredible, but decent.

      • bozbargain on 16/03/2020 - 17:40

        Considering getting a $400 JB voucher instead would be your best case alternative, I think this is a very good deal for the 64GB XS. A shame I still have 2 months to go on my plan, otherwise I would have probably jumped on it.

  • sticky8anana on 16/03/2020 - 16:05

    my optus network sucks so much these days. bloody hate it. I think i will shift to Telstra when my current contract ends.

    • onlinepred on 16/03/2020 - 16:08
      +6

      My Telstra network is even worse. Depends where you live really. I can't justify spending so much on Telstra anymore when they don't reward you staying.

      • JF on 16/03/2020 - 16:14

        Agreed, so many great deals showing up on here for new customers, haven't seen any for existing customers for quite some time now. My coverage at home is patchy no matter who the provider despite Telstra's coverage map saying it's good.

      • sticky8anana on 16/03/2020 - 16:18

        i live in sydney inner west and the optus 4G at home is just so sh*t. I was with Telstra prior to this a 2-yr deal with Optus and I had no problems with telstra. my Gf is with Optus too and we both have the same issue with Optus.

        • onlinepred on 16/03/2020 - 16:33
          +1

          Yep, all region specific. I can't even get telstra reception in my house, or while on my train route in Brisbane. Optus has no issues.

    • BradH13 on 16/03/2020 - 16:51
      +2

      Completely depends where you are. I travel between South Coast SA and Southern Suburbs SA and find Telstra is a lot worse.

      I moved to Telstra from Optus 4 months ago so it's a fresh look at the situation, and I get (much) slower download speed outside of Adelaide CBD, more "no signal" drop outs on the road, and less signal inside my home on the same phone (P30 Pro) that's actually a Telstra SKU.

      So yeah, it's gonna be different everywhere but for my locale; Optus is more usable.

    • dna4 on 16/03/2020 - 19:43

      Im the opposite - cant get reception with telstra at work. Switched to optus last month and couldnt be happier tho I havent tried the reception outside sydney.

    • giventofly on 16/03/2020 - 20:38

      Go prepaid before committing

  • Tachicuddles on 16/03/2020 - 16:19

    Anyone here know the cancellation terms for Telstra? If it's still half of the remaining cost then an Iphone XS for ~$625 sounds pretty good

    • miss arrow on 16/03/2020 - 16:24
      +2

      They have an option in the Telstra 24x7 app that tells you how much early exit will be for your contract. Go to your service, and click on MY PLAN.

      • Tachicuddles on 16/03/2020 - 16:56

        Ahh i meant for this plan haha. I was thinking about getting this deal and then cancelling the contract straight out, as I don't seem to see any terms regarding staying on the contract.

        • Fancydancer on 16/03/2020 - 17:14

          You can do that, cancel immediately will cost $390 plus first month prorata

    • BigBoy47 on 16/03/2020 - 19:46

      I believe early cancellation on this plan is $390 (as per https://thegoodguys.sirv.com/Content/2020FY/Brands/Telstra/w… - note that the document is for JB but is from the TGG site)
      I'm on the same plan via JB Hi-Fi and can confirm that this ETC looks right from my Telstra acc

      • expatOz on 16/03/2020 - 20:47

        So $199 + $390 + $65 = $654? That doesn't seem right.

        • BigBoy47 on 16/03/2020 - 20:52

          Sounds too good to be true, but it's what the numbers say :P

        • Axytrix on 16/03/2020 - 20:57
          +4

          $199 + $390 = $589 (If you cancel contract same day you are not paying the monthly fee. It's pro rata.)

          • expatOz on 16/03/2020 - 20:58

            @Axytrix: And since the phone purchase is separate. TRS on the phone price? Woot!

          • sol3x on 17/03/2020 - 00:08

            @Axytrix: Wouldn't the TGG staff be pissed off if one cancels on the spot?

            (Commissions)

            • BigBoy47 on 17/03/2020 - 00:50

              @sol3x: When I took up the JB/S10e deal last year, looks like Telstra paid the remainder of the phone credit, not JB (on the tax invoice) - I don't think the store loses any money from this manoeuvre :)

              • BillyG687 on 17/03/2020 - 10:39

                @BigBoy47: They lose the commission from signing you up. That's where stores like JB and Good Guys make their money.

      • Xetrok on 17/03/2020 - 00:40

        What happens if I cancel my plan early?
        You’ll need to pay an Early Termination Charge if you cancel
        your plan early plus any remaining handset and accessory
        payments. The maximum Early Termination Charge for your
        plan is set out in the above table. You will also need to pay a
        Phone Credit Cancellation Fee if you received a Phone Credit
        Amount at sign up. The Maximum Phone Credit Cancellation
        Fee is set out in the Plan Cost table.

        I would expect that for this specific plan there will be an ETC + Phone Credit Cancellation which would be specific to this 12 month plan.
        So $390 (ETC) + $900 (Phone Credit - the amount you're saving?) $1290

        Would anyone be able to confirm?

        Eh, their CIS doesn't state it.. interesting times ahead.

          No

          It’s $390 plus the $199

        • BigBoy47 on 17/03/2020 - 00:47

          I've heard of people in the past having success with terminating contracts and just paying the ETC via the JB deals - couldn't find you a link though. I guess we'll have to see what happens…

          • Fancydancer on 17/03/2020 - 06:56

            @BigBoy47: No seeing what happens,it’s as ilostnemo (as long as you cancel straight away) says above. Spelled out clearly in critical information summary.

          You also have to pay back the discount received on the phone plus the termination fee.

    Just to clarify for anyone who misread the deal (like me), this is only for the xs model, not the 11!

      Why not the iphone 11? The linked PDF says specific models but the URL says $700 voucher on purchase of $999 phone purchase.

  • littlesoldier on 16/03/2020 - 16:53

    Can I buy a $2 sim and port in?

      • Axytrix on 16/03/2020 - 17:12

        Even a prepaid Sim?

        • Fancydancer on 16/03/2020 - 17:32

          Yeah it was prepaid, I registered it, made sure it was active then went into jb hifi 30min later and signed up

    • tunzafun001 on 17/03/2020 - 00:15

      Normally includes new numbers as well, so no port in required. If you do, grab a $2 sim in the store.

        To be eligible for this MUST be a port in

  • the69thhokage on 16/03/2020 - 16:56

    Called two stores and they have no clue about this deal. Anyone know which stores have it?

    • ronnieoz on 17/03/2020 - 14:09

      I got one XS 64gb at Brighton store. They didn't have in stock, but they are doing a stock transfer from Bendigo. It seems that there are only 2 stores with stock. Bendigo and Thomastown. I can't see the ETC yet, as due the telstra's callcentre issue in Philippines they had to manual activation and that it will take up to a week to get through.

  • sol3x on 16/03/2020 - 17:07

    I hope this is not like the previous Samsung S10+ deal that got everyone excited but no TGG store knew nothing about.

  • JayGill on 16/03/2020 - 17:33

    Hey all, for those in doubt, tho deal is legit. To the sense of that you can locate it on the website. Just scroll to left or right on the Telstra $65 24month plan banner. You’ll find the links underneath.

    • BennyHe2018 on 16/03/2020 - 18:44

      Signed up the XR 128G last week:( Can confirm the ETC is $390.

      • smpantsonfire on 16/03/2020 - 20:15

        Which is better? Xr or xs?

        • BennyHe2018 on 16/03/2020 - 20:19

          Depends on what you prefer.

          XS has better OLED display and smaller form factor. Also with more RAM.

          XR has larger LCD display and better battery life.

          • Fancydancer on 16/03/2020 - 20:21

            @BennyHe2018: I went from xr to xs, honestly happy with both.i prefer XS but not much in it. Particularly missed dual lens, that’s why I changed.

  • BargainGhost on 16/03/2020 - 19:43

    So can you port in, receive phone for $199, pay $65 for one month and then cancel for $390? meaning the iPhone XS will cost $654?

    • Fancydancer on 16/03/2020 - 20:21

      If you can find stock.$65 is pro rata - only pay $65 divided by days before cancel.

      From what I have heard on previous deals like these (JB / Good Guys), the full price of the phone is represented, with payment via a Gift Card, and remaining via your choice.

    I go to TGG store, sign up in the store, and the port application is done instore immediately and I walk out with the phone after paying?

    Or do I go off for 2-6 hours waiting on the porting to be completed and then come back the next day to buy the phone?

  • khangu on 17/03/2020 - 13:29

    Just had a look at their online store.

    Appears they don't stock the Xs models anymore. It says the Xs is no longer available.

  • Okayy on 17/03/2020 - 13:53

    Update: their manila office is closed where ports get through so they can only promise you agreement if stock is available but can’t handover you phone unless their office opens again! so this bargain is kinda slow slow slow! lets hope! lol

    Went to one of the Vic store in the morning, they had stock for XS 64G, and they did manual application due to Telstra call center shut down, took about 45mins and walked away with new phone, and port has been done in 15 minutes. Thanks Op.

    • tigerswim2 on 17/03/2020 - 15:50

  • chriise on 17/03/2020 - 20:37

    Would porting out automatically initiate my cancellation with Optus, or do I still need to call and give notice to ending my contract?
