    Hopefully Optus would come up with their own offers (either themselves or via Harvey Norman). It's a good plan you have - not sure if the same $36 would be offered. If you are satisfied with the plan and the included data etc, then why pay more per month for all future months?!!

  Um, with S20 going for 1080p/120Hz, that’s not going to be 4K. How about that 8K video recording?
  
  Compared to mirrorless and DSLR camera displays, SE’s screen isn’t that horrible.
  
  Latest games will play fine on it. Unlike my Samsung phone which overheats and not that fast. 4K/60fps video recording, 10 minutes top otherwise the CPU overheats too much.

Sad day when I have to upgrade my current iPhone SE, but what an absolute warrior of a phone it has been. Three years of service, one battery change, blazing fast. Bought it second hand for about $300 after finding other phones too big, especially for intense travel.

Hopefully, will be able to get a similar price for the 2020 second hand in 18 months. 4'7 will be perfect.

  Isn't there a rumour about SE2 (SE3?) later this year? Or maybe it's just the 5.4 inch iphone 12.

    - bajirao on 24/04/2020 - 17:03
      
      Small screen phone without bezels. Would be awesome. I think that's what the 5.4 inch is supposed to be so hopefully it would be smaller than the 4.7 SE2 (but bigger screen)
      - Wonderfool on 24/04/2020 - 19:20
        
        @bajirao: Majority of the consumer base don't care about bezels. If they do, they will buy the X. That's what it's for.

I recently transferred from Telstra to Amaysim, how long do I need to be away from Telstra for to take advantage of the deal?
- netsurfer on 24/04/2020 - 17:16
  
  24-48 hours, so you should be alright.
  - bozbargain on 24/04/2020 - 21:55
    
    So not a full month as some others have said? Last year it could literally be done within the hour (opt out and back in) but some people have mentioned the rules are tighter now?
    - netsurfer on 26/04/2020 - 00:17
      
      Last year it could literally be done within the hour (opt out and back in)
      
      I found that very hard to believe. Believe me, I tried. The port back will not work if you rushed it within 24 hours. The main issue is the first port stays in the systems for about 24 hours. I had to chase up both Telstra and Optus porting teams multiple times over a couple of days to sort out the mess. 48 hours is safer.
      - bozbargain on 26/04/2020 - 07:14
        
        @netsurfer: Well, that’s exactly what I did 11 months ago. Walked into JB to find out the offer wasn’t available for existing customers. Went to Coles next door, grabbed a Voda sim, ported out, back into JB, walked up to a different sales person and got it done. I also have my internet via Telstra so having an account made the whole sign up process super easy and quick.
  - vmur on 25/04/2020 - 14:56

    - netsurfer on 26/04/2020 - 00:33
      
      You wouldn't do a port out and port in for this. You would normally get a new number, rather than sacrifice a number you actually use. If so, just fully activate that new SIM/number. You may not even need to wait 1-2 days (because you essentially do 1 port), so initiate the port in for this deal.

After purchase, is the ability to switch to the JB $45 plan, or the Telstra $50 plans still an option, or are those loopholes all closed?

Thanks everyone this worked a treat.

Buy $5 sim from Aldi and activate.

Port to Telstra using the Aldi number and sign up for plan.

Telstra issues a $550 JB Gift Card.

Purchase 64GB SE using Gift Card and $200 difference.

Cancel Telstra plan and pay $390 early termination fee.

Trade up from 64GB to 128GB model in-store for $80 difference.

So I ended up with an iPhone SE 128GB for $670.

Appreciate all your help!
- Tigersboy on 25/04/2020 - 19:46
  
  Thanks so much for outlining these key steps. To confirm steps 2, 3, 4 and 6 all done at JB? And you requested the phone upgrade right from the get go? And finally - cancellation (step 5) done by contacting Telstra and there was only the $390 to pay? I’ll look to do this tomorrow.

    No worries! Actually I ran out of time today for #6 but they confirmed over the phone it was possible and I'm going in tomorrow morning to do the trade. I'll let you know if there are any problems!
    
    1 was done downstairs at the shopping centre. 2,3,4 all done inside JB. 5 was done first thing this morning. The $390 is half of the minimum cost for the 12 month plan, that is the early termination fee. They show it to you in a table in the documents as you sign up at JB, so you can confirm. I wont be invoiced for the final payment until 28th of May, so that is also pretty cool!

        But of a strange one. No stock near me. Phoned a store a little way away and got them to hold the last one for me.
        
        Got Aldi sim, ported at JB.
        Telstra porting/activation wasn’t working.
        Had to pay full price for phone, then when sim activates (don’t know when), I go back to the store for the $550 credit back.
        
        Pretty annoying, as I had a bit of a drive to get there. Oh well, saved money.

        @Tigersboy: Transaction completed at JB using a new Aldi number. No real issues at all. But the store wouldn’t exchange (even with me stating I’d pay the difference in price) the 64GB for a larger size - I asked beforehand. I’m happy with 64GB, so no issues for me. Will go through process with Telstra of cancelling tomorrow.

        @Tigersboy: Nice! I called my store to check re swap up and they pushed back too explain in something about IMEI. So I called another store and they seemed more relaxed. Went in just then and didn’t explain backstory just asked to do upgrade and they said no worries. All done in 5 mins.

  Whats the $550 jb gc for & how to trade up?
  - netsurfer on 26/04/2020 - 00:45
    
    +3
    
    $550 shows up as Telstra funded JB Hi Fi payment (which appears as a gift card payment).
    
    What OP didn't mention clearly is that DO NOT remove the seal of the iPhone SE 64GB packaging (so obviously DO NOT open it - keep it as brand new). Then, you go back and essentially do a refund + purchase the 128GB. Because technically, JB did receive $749 ($199 + $550) so assuming the item remains brand new, unopened, they would let you exchange to the 128GB one by paying the difference.
    
    However, I wondered whether it is possible to swap the order of step 5 and 6. Get the trade up done in store after completing iPhone SE 64GB purchase. As that leaves no doubt the phone is still brand new and saves the need to return to the store again.
    - bozbargain on 26/04/2020 - 07:19
      
      Of course you shouldn’t touch the seal if you plan on returning it for another model.
    - jzm67 on 26/04/2020 - 08:30
      
      Thanks for clarifying! Yep DO NOT remove the seal :)

  Was it a new SIM say from Aldi? Or, you ported out from Telstra to another provider and then attempt to use that number to port in within 24 hours? If latter, the port back in would likely fail. It will need to be re-attempted a day or two later.

https://www.jbhifi.com.au/pages/apple-tv-plus

  Yes, as soon as you activate your new phone, all your Apple devices logged in with the same account will get a notification on the Apple TV app to remind you to try out the Apple TV Plus for a year.
  
  Apparently, you cannot cancel the trial early, otherwise you essentially ends the free 1 year trial.

Tried to get this plan today. No stock anywhere in NSW. Can only go instore to get the phone plan, but they can't process it without any stock. Meaning they advertise the plan without being able to provide it.

      Imagine, stock having run out on the very last day of a popular deal. Incredible.

      Maybe you ought to try getting a popular deal earlier then the day before it ends?
