Greetings everyone, The Good Guys are running a promotion where you can get the Samsung Galaxy S10 128gb for $149 Upfront when you take out a $65 Per Month 60gb Telstra Plan.

Consider that the plan has a $390 ETC, you could technically get this phone for $539 total outright if you broke contract :)

Alternatively, still seems like pretty good value either way!

Get the Samsung Galaxy S10 128gb Prism Black for $149 when you bring your number to a $65 The Good Guys Plan from Telstra (Per Month Over 12 Months)
Includes 60GB Per Data Each Month
Available to port-in Telstra customers only. Excludes Telstra Pre-Paid, Boost and Belong Customers. Minimum Cost $929.

As always, enjoy :)

    Can you cancel the contract before the 12 months is up?

    • doweyy on 08/04/2020 - 21:04

      Yep :) The $390 is what you'll get charged for doing so.

      I personally found that, if you transfer to a month-to-month plan, you get charged no ETC.. But it could come down to personal circumstances. Best to ask the live chat agent if there's any charges for doing so.

          Well, when you get 20 millions calls from Ozbargainers getting into a plan similar to this and then changing it to month-month..

          I'm not surprised.!

    • 1st-Amendment on 09/04/2020 - 14:10

      The 4a will suck because the 4 sucks. 3a was a great device because it was almost as good as the 3 which was pretty good, but at 2/3rds the price

  • Crumydog on 08/04/2020 - 21:09

    whats the catch with these deals, i understand the whole signup thing then break the contract and pay the fee for early termination. is there a catch? so this phone id end up literally paying $539 if i cancel the contract. im with vodafone so how does that work with my #

    • Wazzza on 08/04/2020 - 22:10

      $539 for a new S10! Wow. I am sure they know many will cancel the plan immediately but why are they ok with it?. What are they benefiting from this :/

      • OzCheapo on 08/04/2020 - 22:50

        If you do it enough times then they flag your account. I recall reading a comment of someone who registered for five plans and is now banned.

          That happened to me. I think I had gotten 2-3 handsets and then 5x $400 gift cards. The last gift card was a struggle and any further attempts were stopped fairly quickly at any (different) store I went to.

    • bargainbuyer11 on 08/04/2020 - 23:24

      You can get a new number and then cancel that contract. if that doesn't work then activate a $2 sim the day before and transfer that to Telstra.
      That is what I am planning to do :)

      • Crumydog on 09/04/2020 - 07:28

        ah thats a good idea! what is the phone is locked to telstra?

        • Ughhh on 09/04/2020 - 09:28
          +2

          No. There's also a credit check.

          • Crumydog on 09/04/2020 - 09:53

            @Ughhh: righto, cheers for the info, appreciate it.

          • bargainbuyer11 on 09/04/2020 - 10:57

            @Ughhh: Of course but the credit check doesn't depend on the service you are porting across to Telstra, it depends on how good are you at paying your bills and loan repayments.

            • Ughhh on 09/04/2020 - 11:17

              @bargainbuyer11: …. They perform a credit check. Too many credit checks on your file may look bad if you're looking to take out a loan later on. Whether it affects you or not, I dont know and I don't care, but it's a psa to be aware about.

        • bargainbuyer11 on 09/04/2020 - 10:56
          +1

          no the phone is not locked to Telstra. Its a regular retail model.

  • RogueWolf on 08/04/2020 - 21:12

    Does anyone know if tgg are still doing these deals for iPhones or have they expired?

  • hmmz on 08/04/2020 - 21:26

    Says minimum cost $929 at the bottom so I think the ETC is a bit higher. Still a very good deal

    • doweyy on 08/04/2020 - 21:26

      That's min cost on TGG end if you are connected for the whole plan, but once you're with Telstra their charge is $390 if you want to cancel early :)

      • hmmz on 08/04/2020 - 21:28
        +1

        Interesting… Curious, How do you know they're going to put you on that byo plan? Anybody done that before?

        • doweyy on 08/04/2020 - 21:31

          It's the same as if you're taking out the same sort of plan at JB, they put you on a BYO for 12m and make you pay upfront for the phone.

          • hmmz on 08/04/2020 - 21:32

            @doweyy: I see.. thanks for clarifying. Excellent deal then!

  • An0nymous on 08/04/2020 - 21:33

    • Associatedslowey @ The Good Guys on 08/04/2020 - 21:45
      +1

      From what Telstra have told us, they’re unable/unwilling to add on international calls/texts to these plans. You’d probably be better off finding a plan that includes them, or terminating early and getting a cheap prepaid/month to month plan that has them.

      • zbmat on 13/04/2020 - 20:41

        Hi slowey… Had issues signing up for my wife today as she is in Australia for past 2 years and they wanted past 6 years address in Australia to sign her up… That's weird.. Really wanted to sign her up.. Any ideas to overcome this…?

    • bargainbuyer11 on 08/04/2020 - 23:26

      you can for an extra $10/month by calling Telstra after the plan is activated.

      • Bloozzz on 09/04/2020 - 06:01

        The ETC $390 can be higher if you add international calls?

        • bargainbuyer11 on 09/04/2020 - 10:56

          don't know because its a month to month add-on. I have that enabled on my $45 Telstra plan which was discounted to $25 because I told Telstra how terrible their service is where I live.

          • jellybox on 09/04/2020 - 12:08

    Whats the quickest/cheapest way to port out of Telstra post paid plan (finished contract) without visiting brick and mortar store?

    • giles on 08/04/2020 - 23:06

      For quick / cheap / not visiting a bricks+mortar store – I’d say you have to pick which 2 you like best.

      1. Quick and cheap — grab a $1/$2/$5/free non-Telstra SIM starter kit from your servo, supermarket, post office, or wherever is closest to you. Then activate the SIM and port your number to that service.

      2. Cheap and not b+m — order a SIM online. But with Easter public holidays, and coronavirus staffing/shipping delays, your chances of quick might not be great. FWIW, Optus’s site still offers to ship the next day if you order before noon AEST.

      3. Quick and not b+m — have someone courier you a SIM.

      • gabos on 08/04/2020 - 23:06

        Legend thanks

      • BurnSomeCashs on 08/04/2020 - 23:11

  • Mccann25 on 08/04/2020 - 22:20

    What does "Available to port-in Telstra customers only" actually mean, you must be an existing Telstra customer? Or you must come from another carrier and port your number to Telstra? Sorry if dumb question!!

    • InspironN5110 on 08/04/2020 - 22:49

      • mouski on 08/04/2020 - 23:00

        You need to port in from any other provider except Boost and Belong. Pretty sure those two are excluded.

    • Hargain Bunter on 08/04/2020 - 22:59

      You must port-in a number from another carrier.

      • Oggies on 09/04/2020 - 10:25

          Good question. I have a Telstra number and was able to port-in another number from Optus when I bought a phone from Good Guys last year. I did the same thing again on another similar deal at JB Hifi. A friend told me he tried to do the same and was turned away. I think most stores will let you do it though.

        Yes I do, but this is 6 months later and 50 dollars dearer. S10e is no slouch, infact lots of reviewers and users prefer s10e over S10

    • BurnSomeCashs on 08/04/2020 - 23:10

      S10e is lite version doesn't have full function like s10

      • freoleo on 09/04/2020 - 02:12

        Smaller Battery, Smaller Screen, fingerprint reader on side and missing one of the cameras.

        The only notable differences, runs the same specs etc

        S10 worth the $50 more but S10e was worth it to have 6 months ago

      Yes. And just FYI, JB started enforcing 30 days away from T before you can access porting deals. This might be the same.

      • R4 on 09/04/2020 - 18:17

        I got this deal this morning despite it being only about 15 days since I ported from Telstra to Aldi. I'm only getting the phone on Saturday as my local TGG didn't have stock and I didn't want to drive 80km round trip to get it from another store that had it.

    • davesgnl05 on 09/04/2020 - 09:29
      +1

      No. You need to be with another provider for 30 days minimum. When you head into store they'll port your number to Telstra. If you port to Telstra prior, you won't be eligible for the deal.

      • akmirror on 09/04/2020 - 15:05

        I got a optus sim just today. So are you saying i cannot go to TGG to request port into Telstra and get this offer. Also which day do i cancel the contract so I pay the ETC.

        Thanks

        • davesgnl05 on 09/04/2020 - 21:03

          Yeah, you need to have ported out for 30 days. I got caught out when I tried to get one of the previous offers after porting out for only 7 or 8 days.

          Not sure about cancellations sorry.

      • R4 on 09/04/2020 - 21:08
