    Okay new update. Went back into JB today and spoke to them again. They check the system and one second it was "pending" and before our eyes it went to "complete" and I received texts from Telstra and my old SIM dropped out. So all is working now. Not sure what happened though.. maybe everyone was sick of seeing me?

    • Michaelz101 on 06/10/2020 - 13:51

      you seem to have gone into alot of trouble with this! hope the Gc was worth it!

    • clang823 on 06/10/2020 - 15:44

      Glad you finally got it sorted. Telstra chat told me my plan was cancelled and I had to check with the store I signed up with. Called them up and they got onto it but the current version of it is now “pending”. I did manage to get a “thank you for your recent purchase” email from Telstra this afternoon though so fingers crossed it’ll get ported through by tonight or tomorrow …

      • JoKing on 06/10/2020 - 19:13

        I am too! I was also looking for another plan so I did want to get on this. Not just for the GC but that is definitely good.

        Going into Telstra store was also handy, you could actually see your account. Might be worth visiting JB or Telstra instore if you're around.

  • Teenytiny on 06/10/2020 - 16:43

    Come on JB Hi-Fi and Telstra, bring back a similar or better deal than this one, as I had missed this deal…

  • carpecrash on 06/10/2020 - 20:06

    I just received my confirmation email (finally), but my simcard hasn't arrived yet. I am wanting to "merge" my existing number with the new service. Can i do this before the simcard arrives or will that new simcard be the card where i merge my existing number to?

    • shaun-o on 06/10/2020 - 23:36

      Any mention of the bonus 20gb per month in the emails?

      • carpecrash on 07/10/2020 - 14:18

        Not that i can see. But that was the offer so I'm sure they will honour it

    • sareth on 14/10/2020 - 11:05

      Is your existing provider Telstra? If the two numbers appear in your account, you can merge. If you want to do an FNN from another provider then you'll have to wait until you activate the new SIM.

    For anyone with an existing number on Telstra/boost trying to move their number onto this deal, here are instructions you can give to the agent if they don't know what your talking about

    Disconnect [existing number]
    Then perform a change fnn (Full National Number) order on [JB hi Fi deal number]
    Go to number selection
    Bring up the old number
    It will come up as quarantined
    There's a field for quarantine override reason
    Select 'customer had number previously'
    Finish order

      Live chat told me it was impossible from a Boost prepaid. Incorrect. Boost also told me I wouldn't be able to transfer it once disconnected. Incorrect. Called my local Telstra shop and they did the transfer in 4 minutes flat.

      • realfancyman on 14/10/2020 - 20:54

        Exactly, Boost and Telstra use the same systems, once the number is disconnected there is no difference

    Left a message on 2/10 and called back at around 4PM on 6/10. Managed to get signed up in about twenty minutes over the phone. So for those of you who left a message, you will still be eligible for the deal as long as they registered your number when you left a message.

  • Stewdog85 on 07/10/2020 - 11:57

    I'm not happy with JB / Telstra being in Victoria I signed up over the phone got my SIM card in about 5 days activated Sim online, still hasn't changed to Telstra after 3 days called JB they tell me to call Telstra and Telstra's customer service number just send you links that don't help. Got on the Telstra chat they said it would be activated after 24 hours still no good. If it wasn't for the gift voucher I'd be staying with amaysim..

    • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 07/10/2020 - 12:28

      Did you activate it on Telstra’s website? I did that and the number ported instantly, no issues.

  • Quantumcat on 07/10/2020 - 13:21

    Has anyone who filled out a paper form in store gotten a call back about picking up their sim yet?

    • sauce2k on 07/10/2020 - 14:49

      Weird the place I signed up at everyone walked away with a sim

  • slothhead on 07/10/2020 - 14:39

    Received a call back - yay. But the agent told me that the offer was restricted to port ins only - I was after a new service and new number. He made it clear that this was not within the terms of the offer.

    • Michaelz101 on 07/10/2020 - 16:59

      Tell him to call back tomorrow. Go get a $2 Aldi sim activate it and tell him to port it when he calls back

      • slothhead on 07/10/2020 - 18:23

        Hah I suggested that I was going to do just that and he said I’d need to port out for 30 days… next time!

        • Bob Lou on 08/10/2020 - 08:15

          I thought you would get the voucher once you activate your new telstra sim, why would you need to port out for 30 days?

          but its a new number so porting 30day rule doesn't apply. it will only apply if you were with telstra then you ported out and back in.

          • slothhead on 09/10/2020 - 08:46

            @Michaelz101: The agent I spoke to explicitly said that it is for port ins only and not for new services (with new numbers).

  • carpecrash on 08/10/2020 - 18:36

    I'm trying to get my new ported number/plan merged with my existing number but the telstra person I'm chatting to on the 24.7 app is absolutely useless. I've seen comments here but can anyone provide me with the exact script to explain to them what i want to do so that they understand?

    • carpecrash on 08/10/2020 - 20:30

      Now they're saying "Since, the number 0404XXXXX is from the JB HI-FI & THE GOOD GUYS MOBILE BYO PLAN as $69.

      So it will be only changed through JB HI-FI store for your kind reference . Thank you ."

      This is soooooooo bad. They're escalating it to hopefully someone who knows what they're talking about.

      • carpecrash on 08/10/2020 - 22:56

        I finally chatted to someone who knew what they were doing. For anyone chatting with a dud telstra person, just mark the chat as "Resolved" in the 24/7 app and you will be assigned to someone else. Instructions I gave were similar to the post above which was copy/pasted from whirlpool:

        Disconnect number you want to keep:
        Then perform a change fnn (Full National Number) order on number from the new order
        Go to number selection
        Bring up number you want to keep
        It will come up as “quarantined”
        There's a field for “quarantine override reason”
        Select 'customer had number previously'
        Finish order

      • assailantsky on 09/10/2020 - 12:08

        Ask for change of fnn or number with Codi. You'll usually get someone who knows how to do the number swap.

    Worst experience. Ported my old number across finally on Monday. Was working and suddenly stopped working yesterday. Got a new sim from Jbhifi and still says SOS only. Been really bad for work. The telstra chat people have no clue and no call centres open for Covid. I might have to try and save my number and port it out to aldi and just cop the exit fee

    • carpecrash on 09/10/2020 - 10:32

      I had the same experience, the first two people I spoke to on 24/7 chat had no idea. Follow my instructions above. As i said, for anyone chatting with a dud telstra person, just mark the chat as "Resolved" in the 24/7 app and you will be assigned to someone else.

      I also had to wait 12 hours for the switch to take place. Make sure you have the new sim in your phone because that's the one you will be using moving forward.

      • PGee on 09/10/2020 - 16:23

        Unfortunately not for me. Have spent the past 2 days chasing them. Finally got onto a lady from Australia who spent 3 hrs on the phone with me. Appernlty some glitch has happened and my number is "trapped" between 2 different systems so I can't even port it out to another carrier if I wanted to.

        Really disappointed

          • carpecrash on 09/10/2020 - 17:36

            @carpecrash: Finally, I just got everything resolved. The person who initially did the number merge (FNN) put restrictions (or something like that) on the account by accident so the Telstra agent fixed this up.

          • PGee on 09/10/2020 - 17:47

            @carpecrash: I've lost evrything. The phone just says SOS only. What a shambles.

            • carpecrash on 10/10/2020 - 12:36

              @PGee: Are you positive you have the right Sim card in the phone? The other thing is that if you were bringing your number across it should be in quarantine for 30 days, so all should not be lost. But then again I’m no expert. You just have to cycle through Telstra agents until you get one that knows what they’re talking about

          • arcticmonkey on 10/10/2020 - 16:35

            @carpecrash: I was with Telstra for years. Finally got called back a week later to take up this deal after forgetting about it.

            I said I need a day to reconsider and started reading this thread including your issue.

            I started getting PTSD again about Telstra's offshored service.
