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 :)

      Most of the comments I've read are that you need be off the Telstra system for a calendar month's worth or 30 days.

    • Wickadz on 14/05/2020 - 13:48

      30 days not on telstra.

      Do it now and wait for their next deal in a month

  • Ry009 on 14/05/2020 - 14:02

    Can you cancel and get the S20 for $599 as well? Confused about the comments around the gift card…

      What an odd neg, this works out to be $989, which is cheaper. Not everyone has access to EPP.

      Have a neg mate. For someone who hasnt posted a deal or engaged much here, you have no idea on the neg rules I would assume.

      Edu/corp stores arent available for everyone. So this makes it the cheapest publicly available price for anyone who wants this phone with local tax invoice and warranty.

    • Tambani on 14/05/2020 - 15:41

      So if you're happy with telstra this saves you $350 re the S20+. That's a good deal.

  • KenDiaMoi on 14/05/2020 - 15:28

    Samsung in Australia uses the Exynos processor and its significantly worse than everywhere else that uses snapdragon.

    • tidie on 14/05/2020 - 17:03

      Keen to know how significant it is, can you notice it from use?

    • lplau on 14/05/2020 - 17:21

      Raw Speed yes, however can you measure how much more productivity does it provide you by having that Snapdragon processor?
      That's the problem, one person says it then the entire Ozbargain somebody has to post the Exynos vs Snapdragon.

      Practicality vs Synthetic Benchmarks. For 90% of the world it wont matter, for the remaining 10% they will always be complainers.

      • agalea101 on 15/05/2020 - 09:46

        This shouldn't be negged?

        It's legit a big gap this year which sucks cos it would make a great buy instead of a overpriced OnePlus 8 pro…

      • Belv on 14/05/2020 - 16:30

        I ported to Optus from Telstra 24th March. Tried changing to this deal today and can't because the stupid staff still have not cancelled my plan besides being with another provider for 2 months. And they "fixed" the issue a month ago by crediting my plan and cancelling it. Still has not been done. Truthfully I think ATM thay have like 6 untrained monkeys working for them. First Lady wouldn't even let me talk to somebody

    • mincemeat on 15/05/2020 - 08:44

      Feels like you're talking to a 17 year old still in bed.

  • vegemite2008 on 14/05/2020 - 16:34

    Are you sure it is only $390 ETC?

    I thought that was for the $45/month plan.

    From memory the $65 has a $590 ETC but hopefully you are correct and I am wrong ha ha ha….

  • vegemite2008 on 14/05/2020 - 16:35

    A question, I have a pixel 4, love the mobile but have to keep it on recharge constantly.

    Is the Hua camera better than the pixel 4?

    • jassssone on 14/05/2020 - 19:29

      I have both, camera is pretty similar, but battery is much better on Huawei

  • TheRecordWizz on 14/05/2020 - 18:40

    If i pay the etc will it also be unlocked?
    Or do i have to pay another fee?

      The phone is unlocked from the get go.

  • jabes on 14/05/2020 - 20:19

    I just discussed this deal at my local JB (Armadale, WA) and was informed that the number you wish to port in has to have been activated for > 30 days. Is anyone else being told the same?

    FYI, this deal finishes on May 20th for anyone wondering.

    • rini868 on 15/05/2020 - 14:02
      +1

      Nope, I took advantage of the last deal and ported into Telstra the same day I activated the Optus sim. I don't think there's any way for them to check how long your service has been active for.

      • jabes on 15/05/2020 - 14:04

        I can confirm I went to another store today (Cannington, WA) and had no issue taking advantage of the offer with a burner SIM I only activated today.

        Not sure why the previous store wasn't willing.

        • andyman1908 on 15/05/2020 - 15:07

          I think the >30 days is the case with existing numbers (ie. people that had been with Boost or Telstra within 30 days not entitled to the offer).

          New sims (new number) would be fine to take up this offer.

  • johnthepg on 14/05/2020 - 20:23

    I have a mate 20 pro.

    Is the camera on the p30 better? $390 is an excellent price and im looking to upgrade the wifes pixel 2 xl.

    she just wants an excellent camera to capture memories of our little one.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/05/2020 - 16:13

      No, the mate 20 pro utilised the same camera setup as the p30 pro. Minus the periscope zoom. Better than the P 30 camera. They will also ask you to pay out the rest of the phones value to JB hi-fi, because they have now put another clause in the last page of the contract that is designed to avoid just this early exit for a cheap phone exploit.

      • Social Mikey on 17/05/2020 - 21:07
        +1

        Does that mean we can't get the P30 for $390 anymore?

          any update pls?

        • [Deactivated] on 18/05/2020 - 14:19

          I think that JB want you to pay the difference out to cover the phone cost. That's what my contract last paragraph states.

  • eyx123 on 14/05/2020 - 21:25

    anyone know if the 400 gift card is still included with this deal?

    • eyx123 on 14/05/2020 - 21:34

      Nevermind, didnt see the fine print at the bottom of the deal

  • Preferred Username on 14/05/2020 - 21:54

    I got the p30 deal 2 weeks ago as an upgrade from the pixel 2xl from the deal couple of years ago.

    Very happy with the p30, very fast, excellent battery and screen (no more ghosting/smudging) and actually handles deep blacks well. Can confirm only cost is the $390 cancellation fee plus any pro rata monthly charge from when you activate to when you cancel. Went to aldi for a $5 prepaid, then to jb an hour later and all done, super easy and just put my existing circles life Sim card in ($28m for 100gb).

    Would recommend and do again, just download pixel launcher as a replacement for the Huawei launcher and spend some time to change setting/default keyboards etc and best of all worlds - just my 2 cents for those on the fence about it

    • fufufu on 15/05/2020 - 01:12

      Just confirming, you signed up to Telstra in jbhifi. Took phone home, then go on live chat with Telstra to cancel your plan on the same day?

      • Preferred Username on 15/05/2020 - 07:38
        +1

        Cancelled a couple of days later but that's just because I couldnt wait around for the Telstra chat person to come online. But yes confirmed, no cash spent on the day, mobile in hand, final bill comes in the mail with the payout amount so you have about a month before you even have to pay anything. Forgot to mention phone comes with clear silicone case and preapplied screen protector in the box from Huawei as well

        • andyman1908 on 15/05/2020 - 08:44
          +1

          Haha funny story about that. I hadn't bought a glass screen protector by the time I got the phone so was stuck with the factory screen protector but I wasn't aware that there's a temporary clear film which is obviously less permanent that you can/should remove.

          I was walking around for about a week with this fluff-filled looking screen as I kept trying to reapply to ensure no damage until I got my ebay glass protector. Finally the day comes when I get the glass protector in the mail, remove the temporary clear film and find there's already a nice preapplied screen protector already on it!

          • jopiter69 on 15/05/2020 - 11:43

            @andyman1908: Is that a tempered glass screen protector?

            • andyman1908 on 15/05/2020 - 13:57

              @jopiter69: You mean the one that's preapplied? I'm not sure 100% but I doubt it.

              Seems very thin compared to previous tempered glass screen protectors I've had so I'd assume its a plastic one but its well applied (which I could never do right with plastic ones).

              • jopiter69 on 15/05/2020 - 14:08

                @andyman1908: Yea I assumed it would be plastic but it should do the job till you get a glass one.

          • Whatisthatvelvet on 16/05/2020 - 16:09

            @andyman1908: How does the tempered protector still read the screen fingerprint OK on the P30?

            Got mine a couple of weeks ago in same deal but haven't put protector on yet

            • andyman1908 on 16/05/2020 - 16:33

              @Whatisthatvelvet: I haven't applied it either still using the preapplied one

              • Whatisthatvelvet on 16/05/2020 - 18:48

                @andyman1908: Yeah same. I had the factory one on my Mate 10 for just over 2 years and had no issues with that. Just wasn't sure about the tempered ones

            • Ughhh on 16/05/2020 - 18:37

          How did you cancel in the end? I signed up yesterday, want to cancel today. Reached out to "my Telstra", and the bot said someone will contact me soon.

    Bugger I've just ported my number from Telstra to Optus from the previous 12 month Pixel deal - ended 2 months early.

    Looks like I'll have to wait a month before I can swing back to Telstra judging by the comments? Shall struggle on with a battered and bruised Pixel 3 with terrible battery life for now 👎

      If you have no interest in the Telstra plan and are just looking at cancelling to get a cheap handset, get a $5 aldi Sim card with a new number and just use that to port over and get the offer, then just play on with your existing Sim in the new phone

  • johnthepg on 15/05/2020 - 07:19

    can I just buy a $2 Sim from Optus or Telstra to port in?

    • bajirao on 15/05/2020 - 10:47

      Not Telstra obviously. Optus may need $10 recharge. Based on an earlier comment, $2 Coles SIM is best as it activates without requiring to recharge.

    $65 a month doesn't grab me! I use roll over data (Belong) & buy extra "never expire data" on eBay or Facebook market place. It costs generally $10 for 20GB blocks & as I said it NEVER expires. I have at present 75GB.

    This deal total $989
    If buy from EPP cost $999.3 after $50 off from subscribing. Currently $1049.30
    I prefer to pay $10 extra and less work to go to jb sign up/port and then call to cancel.
    note: it is a good deal if you don't have EPP though.

    Sorry, just notice there is $750 to $900 gift card with huawei.

    Can I understand correctly?

    So sign up the deal/port.
    Sign up $599 for samsung $65 plan
    Get the gift card $750.
    Use it to pay $599 so you still have $156 in the gift card.
    Then after 1 day cancel and pay $390 to end the contract.
    So end up out of pocket $390 with $156 gift card?

    or
    Pay $599 and $390.
    Then $750 gift card to buy an outright phone or tv etc?

    Please let me know. Thanks

      You get this $900 gift card to pay for the phone p30 hence $0 for the phone.
      Only pay ETC $390

      Please let me know. Thanks

      Edit:
      I've understood now. No need to answer.

    Will be going in tomorrow for a P30, did anyone ask the JB salesperson if they could see the $390 ETC charge in the contract? Want to make sure it's not something else and I usually hear different things from different salespeople

      There's no issue with asking about the T&Cs of a contract, but to avoid appearing like dodgy time waster and JB/Telstra closing these awesome deals, put some creativity when asking about the ETC so it doesnt sound like you're going to cancel asap.
