Greetings everyone, JB Hi-Fi are running a promotion where you can get the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 4G 128gb for $599 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 $989 total outright if you broke contract, that's cheaper than the samsung EPP price :)

Huawei P30 is also $0 upfront with the same plan and ETC, thanks to aspirepranesh.

From what I understand, the Samsung galaxy deal is essentially a $750 gift card used to offset from the phone cost. So I think you might be able to get a different higher specced Samsung using this gift card for a higher price if you talk to the representative in store.

Alternatively, still seems like pretty good value either way!

As always, enjoy :)

      Yup. They ask you whether you’re employed and place of employment.

  • dbglt on 14/05/2020 - 09:05

    Absolutely love my P30. Battery life incredible. Great screen to bezel ratio and perfect size for a phablet (any bigger than this gets a bit unwieldy for me). Software is pretty good too - having come from stock Pixel, no complaints.

        I have P30 pro and can confirm that google services are active and working. Google cant touch these models as they were already included before the ban kicked in. mate 30 and P40 series are definitely affected

      • RM on 14/05/2020 - 09:23

        Yup, no issues.

      • bajirao on 14/05/2020 - 11:58

        No issues with Google play on P30. Recently got Android 10 update followed by latest Google security update.

    • bargainfinder on 14/05/2020 - 09:14

      How is the camera compare to the S10 or S20? Especially in low light conditions?

      • dbglt on 14/05/2020 - 09:30

        Had one of the best camera arrays in 2019, not sure v s20, but I don't think there's be much in it. P30 and Pro known for their cameras.

        • bargainfinder on 14/05/2020 - 13:52

          Thanks. I am still using my S7 so it will be a good upgrade if i can get it for $390

            @bargainfinder: Plus $599 upfront…
            Or are you talking one of the others? Not the S20..

      • bajirao on 14/05/2020 - 11:58

        For pictures P30 is better than S10. Not sure about S20 comparison. For videos definitely S10/S20 better than P30.

    • bajirao on 14/05/2020 - 11:57

      dbgit - I don't know who negged you!! Had got the P30 deal last May and my wife is using it since a year. Fantastic phone so I second your views. Excellent camera (definitely better than S10 for pics - maybe better than S20 for pics. For video Samsung S10/S20 series is better than P30 series). Got an Android 10 update as well.

    • azngamer on 14/05/2020 - 13:58

      I am interested in getting a P30 because it has a headphone jack and flat screen. How is the operating system compared to stock android or Oxygen OS (currently using this on OnePlus 5)? Are there bloatware and if so, are there lots or intrusive?

      • SuiCid3 on 14/05/2020 - 19:48
        +1

        It has its nuances, but still has most of the stock Android feel and operations.
        Gestures can be a little annoying sometimes, but that can be turned off.
        There's a fair number of bloatware, but there are ways to uninstall almost all of it.

        Recommend you download pixel launcher from the play store as an alternative, everything is subjective but makes it feel like vanilla android (just upgraded from pixel2 xl) so all benefits of the Huawei hardware and vanilla android for usability

            @[Deactivated]: Nope. JB have an internal mobiles customer CRM that links with Telstra. I went to a JB store whose representative could sign up directly (and not through their dedicated call center). Saw all the services I'd signed up. Rep could see they were all cancelled. He was barred at a system level and couldn't make the decision himself to sign me onto another.

        • ilostnemo on 14/05/2020 - 11:08

          Try again. I’m tempted. I’m too flagged, but was successful with the good guys a month ago. Btw there is a new $390 fee which automatically charges now.

          • wellzi on 14/05/2020 - 11:13

            @ilostnemo: I am tempted. If I did it again I would do it with my own mobile number this time and would stay the contract term and it is still a really good deal. I think I've exhausted my profit potential from these plans. haha!

          • bajirao on 14/05/2020 - 12:03

            @ilostnemo: What new fee? Is this by JB or Telstra? Is this in addition to the $390 ETC fee?

      • vast524 on 16/05/2020 - 12:10

        Thank you, got the Coles $2 version. Was a bit tricked to start with as I picked up the Optus one.
        Activated and made sure not to select a top up. Took a few hrs to activate but eventually got the text. Went into JB and picked up a P30. Being a novice OzBargainer, I was quite nervous and worried that I'd stuff it up. Anyway they asked a few questions and wanted to know how long I was on this SIM which I didn't exactly say as well as if I have been with Telstra recently which I haven't. Everything went through and they mentioned that the ETC fee would be $390 + the 12 months. This was when I got really nervous and made sure it was the 12mth BYO $65. Then just put blind trust in OzBargain gurus. Tried to cancel last night and gave up using the app, tried again today and app was useless. Called 132200 and kept saying I wanted to speak to someone. Got connected and cancelled for $391.05. Woohoo thank you OzBargain.

  • sub7er on 14/05/2020 - 10:06

    So do you get a $750 gift card just for samsung galaxy phone? can you price match the education store pricing and use $750 GC in conjunction to get it at a cheaper price?

    • wellzi on 14/05/2020 - 10:10

      Wishful thinking. You can ask but I'm very doubtful that you'll succeed.

      • sub7er on 14/05/2020 - 10:29

        • wellzi on 14/05/2020 - 11:11

          Like I said… give it a go. :)

          Whilst the receipt says you paid full price for the phone and bought it with a $750GC I strongly believe JB will argue that the listed price for the phone (on the plan) was $599 and therefore price match would need to be below $599…

    • Ughhh on 14/05/2020 - 11:31
      +2

      You don't really "get" the gift card, you're not entitled to the gift card. You're only entitled to the $599/$0 phone cost, same reason why you can't use the $750 to buy something else.

  • Diesmile on 14/05/2020 - 10:07

    for people who signed up from the previous deal and cancelled straight away, have you received $390 bill yet? i got nothing in my telstra app yet.

      Yes, I did

      • Ibot on 14/05/2020 - 11:14

        Let me get this straight, first you sign up to this deal then port out to different n network then only charge you $390 in total.

        Please do share any past experiences, thanks in advance

    Check out the doco 'JB Hi-Fi Mobile Plans' on the link below.

    • doweyy on 14/05/2020 - 10:33
      +6

      You'll find it here under $65 BYO Plan.

      Maximum Early Termination Charges (ETC)
      12 month term - $390

      I believe you can cancel once the Telstra account shows it available, and they will pro-rata your plan costs for the days your service is active, then should send a $390 ETC invoice later. But some people haven't received the ETC charge from the last deal yet, so I'm not sure how long it takes.

      • stinkydog on 14/05/2020 - 10:38

        Please excuse my ignorance, does the minimum cost also apply on cancellation? Or could one purchase a P30 for about $390 by cancelling in the first week?

        • doweyy on 14/05/2020 - 10:41
          +2

          No, the minimum cost is only if you hold the plan for the full 12 months. Once you have the phone for $0, you then just go into your Telstra account and cancel your service and as per the T&C's, the maximum amount they can charge is $390. So effectively, if you cancelled in the first week, you would pay:

          $0 Upfront + Pro-Rata Plan Cost (7/31 x $65) + $390 (If held for 7 days).

          Note, the only part that JB is involved in is offering you the phone, and signing you up. The rest is held with Telstra and they're the ones you need to cancel with and pay the ETC to.

          • stinkydog on 14/05/2020 - 13:02

            @doweyy: Wow that is quite a nice deal! Thank you very much for the clarification.

            @doweyy: Brilliant! mate.

            Now the interesting part on the cancellation process. Can we cancel the plan online or do we have to talk to a Telstra agent? Would porting out be quicker than cancellation?

      • skdreams on 14/05/2020 - 10:45

        Thanks, I see the $390 fee now. Sounds too good to be true though. There is below in addition to ETC but it is set to N/A for 12 month plans.

        If you cancel, recontract or move to an ineligible plan then you
        will need to pay a Phone Credit Cancellation Fee pro-rated
        against the remaining months on your plan, the maximum of
        which is set out in the table above. This is in addition to any
        Early Termination Charges (ETCs) set out in the above table
        and accessory payments.

        • doweyy on 14/05/2020 - 10:46

          Note that that is for the $65 JB Hi-Fi Mobile Plan, not the BYO plan which this is. The mobile plan is in relation to the 24 month plan with phones included, not this one.

          Definitely sounds too good to be true, but it works fine and has worked for a while now for many offers :)

          • skdreams on 14/05/2020 - 10:58

            @doweyy: Haha true, you are a good reader of terms and conditions for sure. Don't think it's worth the hassle though. Same S20 Plus 4G is available on EPP for $999 including the $50 signup discount.

            Everyone can have access to EPP using their kids school account.

      I had the P30 lite version, though it's a different phone but riddled with software issues. Wi-Fi would turn off and you'd need to restart phone to get going. Unable to hear on speaker as very low volume on max. Too many Huawei apps asking for too much access. Not sure if i got a bad device or others have seen similar issues?

      • OpayuOnam on 14/05/2020 - 22:16

        Difference is you were not forced to watch 3D and it was a choice with minimal cost (literally just a tiny circuitry to send RF signal for syncing glasses LCD shutter with tv refresh rate) so I don't like the fact that the choice is gone.
        Now curved screens on the other hand, you cannot turn that shit off and it effects the usability…

        • SuiCid3 on 19/05/2020 - 13:49

            @SuiCid3: No you're not, but all flagships now have a curved screen… Many reviewers have finally started criticising it since it doesn't really add anything to the experience and it's more of a tick box than anything.

            I would've really loved a P30 pro or P40 pro or Mate 30 pro if it wasn't for the curve, just saying.

    • Bargainbrother on 14/05/2020 - 12:36

      It's been fixed and there's an additional surcharge for those trying to cancel straight away. Been used way too often and I think there is extra 500 on top of 390 that needs to be paid.

      • starburstyellow on 14/05/2020 - 12:55

        Is this correct? i thought the loop hole was regarding people move their 12/24 month plans to Month to month.

      IF they do a credit check… it'll be an inquiry on your credit profile and that's it.
      There will be no further action taken on your account if you cancel and pay ETC as you've obliged with T&Cs.

    I'm currently with Telstra payinf $55 for 18GB which is terrible. If port my current number to Amaysim or another $2 sim for a day or two would I be elegible for this deal?
