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 :)

      You've just stated that staff members give inconsistent answers. So why bother asking another one the exact same thing when you can just read the T & Cs yourself to make an informed decision?

  • oblivianz on 16/05/2020 - 10:57

    How long do I have to port out of Telstra for before I am eligible for a deal like this?

    • quackster on 16/05/2020 - 16:37

      I was told by JB that I'd have to wait 30 days. Read that as well by someone in the comments

      Can anyone confirm that they successfully ported away from Telstra and used this deal in less than 30 days?

      • ysbeer178 on 16/05/2020 - 17:04

        The best way is to get a new sim like Aldi or amaysim activate it and use that.

        • quackster on 16/05/2020 - 19:16

          I want the Telstra plan attached to my number so I can keep it for the 12 months :(

          • quackster on 17/05/2020 - 23:10

            @quackster: I went to another store today and there was no problem porting back to Telstra after being an Optus customer for 1 day. Got the S20+!

            • jonogwil on 20/05/2020 - 13:11

              @quackster: awesome! i just switched over to amaysim from telstra today, do you think if i walked in to JB hifi i'll be able to transfer back to telstra? or should i wait a day or two?

  • Ash-Say on 16/05/2020 - 17:33

    Switching cost is zero as per Telstra App but if you click on cancel tab, it shows $390 fees.

    Does it mean no ETC if you switch plan?

    • rmmm7410 on 16/05/2020 - 20:58

      I saw this as well and did the same thing. Nothing throughout the process said I would be charged anything. Got to the end and then got a bill for $390 cancellation fee about 30mins later. I screen shotted the whole process so I'm going to contest it when I can finally get through to customer service

      • CVonC on 17/05/2020 - 00:19

        You got charged $390 for switching?

        • rmmm7410 on 17/05/2020 - 07:18

          Yep

          • vegemite2008 on 18/05/2020 - 14:10

            @rmmm7410: Remember that you will be charged a new etc if it is a new 12 month plan

        • Ash-Say on 18/05/2020 - 20:01

          How did you go with challenging $390 ETC?

          I just received bill with ETC.

  • Social Mikey on 16/05/2020 - 18:29

    My friend got a big spill from the JB salesperson about how if you cancel the plan after buying the P30, then apart from the ETC, they have to pay back JB Hifi for the mobile for breaking the contract. Has anyone heard about that? He got cold feet and didn't buy it at the end.

    • Ash-Say on 16/05/2020 - 18:36

      JB hifi can't chase you for anything. Once you walk out of door, your contract is just with Telstra.

    • Ughhh on 16/05/2020 - 18:39

      Did he ask about what would happen if he cancelled as soon as he gets home?

      • Social Mikey on 16/05/2020 - 21:33

        The JB Hifi guy preempted him by saying he had people who look to take advantage of the system so he has to explain to my friend that money needs to be paid back to JB if he cancelled his plan (basically to pay JB the value of the gift card). So he didn't ask thinking it's already answered.

        • 7up on 17/05/2020 - 08:32

          If you contract 24 months plan then you have to pay $x amount

        • starburstyellow on 17/05/2020 - 17:51

          Jb guy is wrong. Only cost is $390 etc. To jb they got paid with the gift card already.

          • Ughhh on 18/05/2020 - 10:27

            @starburstyellow:

            To jb they got paid with the gift card already.

    May I please ask what JB Hi Fi store offer this deal? I went to Chatswood Chase and North Sydney today and none of them have these offers…

  • vegemite2008 on 16/05/2020 - 23:44

    If the customer gets a giftcard, then it should be possible to upgrade to the pro 30 and pay the balance.

  • vegemite2008 on 17/05/2020 - 00:21

    I am on a current telstra postpaid 12 month plan.

    There is no option on my mobile to cancel the contract at the moment due to covid…

    Any other options?

      My Telstra app. And use chat function to get a human. Did it day after I signed up to this deal got etc $391.22.

      • vegemite2008 on 17/05/2020 - 13:33

        I used the app but always get the Corona message we are busy blah blah 🤔. Will try to call them

  • Munki on 17/05/2020 - 03:22

    Has anyone successfully used the P30 "giftcard" and paid the difference to upgrade to the P30 Pro?

    • BlueMM on 17/05/2020 - 09:14
      +1

      In the end I chose not to, but I rang 3 or 4 stores and got one that would swap (after paying difference).

      • jassssone on 17/05/2020 - 09:51

        If you sign up in a JB store, and you could swap from another JB store?

      • Munki on 17/05/2020 - 10:11

        Any reason why you chose not to? I've been trying to find comparisons between the two and it's a close call between the models.

        • BlueMM on 17/05/2020 - 16:18

          I bought 2 weeks ago on the last day of the then deal (a Sunday), and rang a few stores the next day & day after. I didn't ring the original store I bought it from.
          There was no discounts/deals on either phone when I was ringing, so the difference was $400. In the end I didn't justify the doubling of price, and stuck with the P30.

          • Freeskater on 17/05/2020 - 18:37

            @BlueMM: Hi can you advise which store accepted the price difference? Thanks in advance.

            • BlueMM on 18/05/2020 - 08:38

              @Freeskater: There are two at Highpoint (Maribyrnong) in VIC, I can't remember which one agreed. Maybe the non-home one.

    • 7up on 17/05/2020 - 14:24

      the deal is only for p30 not pro model. They said the gift card is tied to P30 so there is no way you can pay the difference as i was told by the telco teller.

      • BlueMM on 17/05/2020 - 16:20

        I rang JB stores (who said no), until 1 did. I didn't contact Telstra about it.

  • Freeskater on 17/05/2020 - 08:13

    Has anyone seen this deal anywhere in Sydney?

    • 7up on 17/05/2020 - 14:21

      I found from two stores in Sydney that they were displaying ticket to promote a different deal of $400 gift card when you sign up on the $65/month 12 month plan. I had to ask the staff about this deal.

  • Freeskater on 17/05/2020 - 12:07

    And which stores offered P30 upgrade please?

  • Mrs King on 17/05/2020 - 13:11

    Has anyone had any success porting out of Telstra for a few days and then taking this offer up?
    I don’t want to lose my number so Porting out of a $2 sim is not going to work.

    • vast524 on 17/05/2020 - 17:13

      Once you cancel the contract with the ported $2 SIM, just put your current SIM in and continue to use your number. The $2 SIM allows you to meet the criteria of having a non Tel$tra carrier to sign up to the $65 BYO plan. Hope this helps and I understood your question

      • BlueMM on 18/05/2020 - 08:40

        I got this same deal 2 weeks ago, and the JB guy confirmed that it (was then at least), for ports & new sign ups. So I just got a new number - that I will throw away.

  • edumacation on 17/05/2020 - 14:09

    My local said the deal ended 3/5 for the P30, they had the Samsung though… is it worth getting the Samsung? Haven't changed phones for about 4 years so not really up with the times!

      • vegemite2008 on 17/05/2020 - 16:06

        I anticipate that JB will offer new deal very frequently due to the easing of the lockdown.

        • F1ngolf on 17/05/2020 - 16:18

          Or rather they want to start clearing the 4G phones.

          • mickeyjuiceman on 17/05/2020 - 17:53

            @F1ngolf: I don't think general public is kidding itself about 5G being SUPER ESSENTIAL like some around here are. POssibly because they've got a clue, or possibly because they're oblivious to the nascent technology.

      • davidl2 on 19/05/2020 - 19:23

        sadly I found out this date in store today…..(19/May)

  • [Deactivated] on 17/05/2020 - 16:30

    A few people at the store today were having issues porting over. All weekend apparently the problem been going on. They can't resolve it till Monday apparently. They still more than happy tricking people to sign up though without telling them. leaving them in limbo, once they get their stuff, you are nothing to them. Even with all the issues that they know of, they don't want to know you after you sign.

  • Ash-Say on 17/05/2020 - 21:51

    How people are cancelling the plan?

    Codi is bloody useless and people on message are not responding at all.

    • BlueMM on 18/05/2020 - 08:41

      Someone mentioned in the 2 weeks ago deal, just mention the words "cancel my account" and then you get a human. That worked for me when I tried.

  • Indomie5 on 18/05/2020 - 09:22

    Can anyone confirm that there is a new clause on the last page of the contract regarding to pay the rest of the phone value to JB-hifi for early termination?

  • [Deactivated] on 18/05/2020 - 10:20

    Will the JB staff be able to see that I have cancelled my Telstra plan right after I got it last time? (S10e deal last year)

    • Whatisthatvelvet on 18/05/2020 - 11:06

      I think they might be able to.

      When I ported to the P30 the other week JB staff pulled up my Telstra record. I remember seeing on it all the times I contacted Telstra after I did the same thing but with the $500 GC last year. It showed me porting to JB then contacting Telstra chat to get the $10 port in discount. Then me changing to the M2M plan. Then I saw that I ported out. Basically had a timeline of events

    • jassssone on 18/05/2020 - 11:17

      Of course they can, they saw i had a service connect and disconnect around March this year on their system, however they still signed me up again.

      • [Deactivated] on 18/05/2020 - 12:57

        Did they say anything? Or did they pretend they didn't see that!?

    • Bullion78 on 18/05/2020 - 21:10

        They can definitely see all history incuding your chat with Telstra. I have sighted it myself.

      • salmon123 on 20/05/2020 - 14:14

        rinsed and repeated today

        There seems to be some soft limit on how many time you can do this. Not clear whether it's a credit limit assigned to your account or something else, but at some point the telstra systems won't allow more post paid accounts.

  • edumacation on 18/05/2020 - 16:15

    Did anyone get any confirmation that it's been cancelled? I just called up and they said it was but no email or anything from them

    • tidie on 18/05/2020 - 16:52

      I have not an email notification, basically just saying 'As you've requested, the disconnection of your service is underway' and how much I will need to pay for breaking the contract is in the attachement.

    • F1ngolf on 18/05/2020 - 18:10

      Has your mobile number been cut off? When you login to MyTelstra, do you still see your mobile service number?

        Yes. Number is gone.

        • starburstyellow on 20/05/2020 - 10:56

          I did it via my Telstra app but I did it on a weekday.
          I recently helped a family member last Sunday. The bot said it will forward message for someone to contact him. He got a message from a human on Monday via same chat window.

          Just keep typing cancel my phone plan on the chat. Will eventually get to someone.

          • F1ngolf on 20/05/2020 - 14:56

            @starburstyellow: I could not find the cancel a service function on the Telstra app. So I called 132 200 and was routed to Adelaide support centre to cancel the service. Was told that Telstra will send the bill on next billing cycle in June.

            • starburstyellow on 20/05/2020 - 15:23

              @F1ngolf: Sorry should have been more clear. It's not a function per say. You basically type in the chat wanting to cancel. After few times bot will redirect you. Glad you got outcome you needed on phone.

  • Kanina on 19/05/2020 - 23:41

    Just sharing how i got my P30
    Got a amaysim burner.
    Went into JB on Sunday, signed up for the $65 plan and got the P30 (voucher issued at counter and immediately scanned at register, I did not even touch the voucher).
    Went home and and cancelled the plan via mytelstra app.
    Number and sim was not even used/activated, I just installed the MyTelstra app on my mobile with a different number.
    Was told ETC was $388 (yeah I know its odd it wasnt $390), did not question since its cheaper.
    Proceeded with cancellation.
    Will reflect on my upcoming Telstra bill.

    • salmon123 on 20/05/2020 - 12:13

    • ja912son on 20/05/2020 - 12:15

      Hi Kanina,
      Appreciated the step-by-step info. When you say, installed MyTelstra app on your mobile with a different number, do you have to have a connected Telstra number beforehand to do that?
      Many thanks

      You didn't need a burner number to port from. They allow you to just sign up for a new number.

      • starburstyellow on 21/05/2020 - 22:57

        Really? I was given strict instructions from JB and it's also on the deal OP posted that it must be port in only.

        • BlueMM on 22/05/2020 - 12:27

          I got a new number for the same deal 2 weeks ago. It was mentioned in the comments of the deal, and confirmed by the JB guy when he looked it up.

    • F1ngolf on 22/05/2020 - 12:18

      @Kanina
      JB will not allow anyone to leave the shop with the P30 without confirmation that the service number for 12 months BYO plan is active.
      Looks like either your JB shop stuffed up OR …???
      Also can you cancel a service that is not active??
