Greetings everyone, just spotted that JB have placed the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 4G 128gb on promotion on their $99 Per Month 150gb Plan.

Considering that this plan has a $594 Early Termination Charge, you could essentially get the phone for $594 (+pro-rated first month charge) if you cancelled the plan early :)

Seems like an awesome deal for a brand new phone which is $799 on the Samsung Education store.

The 5G variant is also available for $149 Upfront.

I believe this may also be eligible for free Samsung Galaxy Buds Live too. May need to confirm with the store staff when ordering, the advertisement doesn't include this, however the bonus has been eligible on JB deals in the past.

As always, enjoy!

Note: In Store Only, may exclude some Victorian residents.

Edit: You can signup today 8/10 and pick up the phone when it starts tomorrow. See comments.

                    @wisdom: Worth a try, you have your receipt, just point out on the web page where it says you get it. Nothing to lose!

        • rollsroy on 11/10/2020 - 10:18

          My receipt says 'Cannot be refunded or exchanged for another item'

  • webtherapist on 10/10/2020 - 20:39

    been using a red one the last two days, love 120Hz screen and the battery easily last a day without compromising the high refresh rate :), pity it is only single sim :(((

    I just signed up for the $500 gift card from the last deal, is there any way to cancel it or transfer it to this offer?

    Or do i just get a new number and then cancel afterwards and pretty much pay $149 + $594 and get the 5G version + the earbuds?

  • wordsmith on 10/10/2020 - 23:10

    What's the option most people are choosing? Cancellation or Port-out

    • brendanm on 11/10/2020 - 09:34

      I did cancellation, very painful process, started it at about 3pm yesterday, finished at about 11.

        Jesus christ. So all done now? How much did it cost in total?

        • brendanm on 11/10/2020 - 13:10

          Yep all done. $598 for the etc, and I assume one day pro rated, so probably $601 all up.

      • jje on 11/10/2020 - 13:02

        How did you manage to contact them? I tried live chat and it just hangs on a grey window forever. I called and it sends me an SMS telling me to use … live chat.

        • brendanm on 11/10/2020 - 13:12

          Get the Telstra 24/7 app, click help, click message Telstra. It will be a bit to start with, then will connect with a person. The first person I got seemed quite irate, asking why I wanted to cancel, how much I paid at JB hi-fi etc. I ignored that and told them I just wanted to cancel. With its drop outs and disconnections, ended up going through 3 or 4 people. Fun times.

          • jje on 11/10/2020 - 13:16

            @brendanm: Thanks mate. I'm in that early "why" questioning now…

                @brendanm: Ah man this is painful isn't it. If they insist I'll just tell them Telstra reception here is awful (not a lie, no signal bars!)

                  @jje: Just tell them you changed your mind and no longer want the plan. I told them I haven't even put the Sim in a phone, as they want to send you an authentication SMS, you can just use your account number instead.

            @brendanm: I must have been lucky, I got connected to live chat immediately. After I said why I'm cancelling they cancelled it for me within 10 min without any troubles.

                @W0nderb0y: I ended up not giving a reason, I was just polite but firm and said I just wanted to cancel. Went ahead smoothly.

  • andysa on 11/10/2020 - 09:12

    I'm an existing Telstra custom customer and want to keep my number, can I just port out and then in? Can they see I only just ported out and reject me?

    • CodeXD on 11/10/2020 - 09:23

      You'll need to port out for minimum of 30 days before jb can port your number back.

    • orly on 12/10/2020 - 13:24

      Genuine question, why would you need to port out number if you're planning on cancelling and paying out ETC? Just get a new number, terminate and you've got unlocked device to use your old number?

    • cheaptech20 on 14/10/2020 - 14:20

      Smartest move is - it's an unlocked phone.
      So get a new number at JB for this plan, then cancel or port out to a cheap prepaid and get rid of the new number.
      Then you're good to go immediately once you leave JB, with the new phone and your original sim.

  • LeoSpaceman on 11/10/2020 - 09:17

    Sorry for the ignorance but how do you get the $10 off? Is this through Telstra Chat after signing up or from JB themselves?

    Also, does anyone know if workplace salary packaging allows people to salary package monthly plan costs or is it upfront only? Will call tomorrow and find out but curious in case people had experience.

    Thanks!

    • CodeXD on 11/10/2020 - 09:24

      I got the $10 off but it was prompted by the JB staff themself, didn't ask for it.

      • bargrin on 11/10/2020 - 09:51

        But the $10 credit I understand is no longer available.

      • OzHomer on 12/10/2020 - 15:28

        $10 credit is for new numbers only, when JB staff did paperwork it came automatically.

  • rollsroy on 11/10/2020 - 10:20

    Have Telstra patched the loophole where you change your plan to M2M and then can cancel with no ETC?

    • Rock32 on 11/10/2020 - 14:51

      Yes they have. Now they can actually see you signed up through JB plan on a contract.

  • Jayharley95 on 11/10/2020 - 12:38

    I've been told on the chat that my ETC will be $293 and that I won't receive my bill until the end of the billing cycle. Has anybody else received their bill yet?

    • rhimes on 11/10/2020 - 12:59

      Wow, that would be amazing. Do you have chat logs?

      • Jayharley95 on 11/10/2020 - 14:14

        I do. I'm just really concerned that they don't know what they're doing and haven't actually cancelled it properly. Spoken to three different agents trying to confirm. Should be okay if I have the chat logs though?

        • CyberMurning on 11/10/2020 - 17:36
          +1

          I think the staff is wrong, in the past once I cancel they send estimate bill and then few weeks later the real bill came (similar amount)

      • Jayharley95 on 14/10/2020 - 22:43

        I received my bill and the ETC was $293. Score!

  • CyberMurning on 11/10/2020 - 13:09

    So I signed up for the plan on Thursday, the number active right away, but till now Sunday I don't get the phone yet ( no delivery/ stock of 5g blue according to jb staff)

    As I basically already paying for 2 days without not able to use it possible to lodge a complaint to Telstra? Technically fault is with jbhifi but the plan is with Telstra hence my confusion…..

    • brendanm on 11/10/2020 - 13:35

      They are two seperate things, Telstra have supplied you only the plan, so they don't care. There is nothing stopping you using the plan with another phone.

  • wisdom on 11/10/2020 - 13:45

    Got the 5G version, however I was I couldn't get the buds. The staff member told me that the buds are only for pre-orders.

    A bit pissed now, given almost everybody else got the buds. Any tips on how/if I could get it anyway? Should I email JB Hifi?

    • Jayharley95 on 11/10/2020 - 14:13

      The only way I was able to get mine was ringing up first thing in the morning and asking him to include it in the deal for me as I live a 2 hour drive away from the closest store. He only had 2 left and anybody else to sign up to the deal that day missed out.

      • wisdom on 11/10/2020 - 14:19

        They did have the buds in stock, they just didn't give it to me! Bummer

        • dahax77 on 11/10/2020 - 14:44

          I got one this morning with the buds. Was advertised in store next to the phone. Definitely chase it up as you're entitled to them.

    • stmgr on 11/10/2020 - 17:45

      which store?

    • 00broke00 on 11/10/2020 - 22:43

      The first store I went to in Carousel, WA the guy said the buds were only on preorders. I showed him the JB HiFi page with the phone on it and it clearly stated that there was a Bonus Offer of the Buds if you purchase by 14 Oct. I don't think he was happy cos he said they didn't have any white ones in stock (which is what the offer specifically states) so he sent me to the Cannington store down the road. The guys there were happy to oblige, and even let me choose the colour

      • bargrin on 11/10/2020 - 22:58

        Same here had choice of any colour.

        Only regret is not getting 5g for the $149 more, but haven't opened phone maybe can still upgrade?

        • wisdom on 12/10/2020 - 08:59

          I'd think you could still upgrade, as long as you haven't opened it

    Such a great deal - signed up today in store for the 5G model with a new Telstra number and received buds no questions asked. Cancelled contract via Telstra chat in around 30 minutes and sold the buds on Marketplace for $200 within an hour of buying. All up a brand new phone for $544. Thanks op for posting.

    • inasero on 11/10/2020 - 21:31

    • dajiska on 12/10/2020 - 18:57

      @Dave77 - noob questions - when you cancel with Telstra , how long does it take for telstra to de-activate the plan?
      Since you cancelled your service did you insert another sim into the phone and it worked fine?

      • dahax77 on 12/10/2020 - 21:56

        As far as I am aware it was cancelled during/after my chat session - which took about 30 minutes. The plan no longer appears in my Telstra Account. Yep just popped in my other sim and worked fine.

      • cheaptech20 on 14/10/2020 - 14:23

        Phone is unlocked - so you can pop in any sim on Day 1 :)

  • DKZ370 on 12/10/2020 - 13:28

    Has anyone tried further reducing the monthly fees or get any other incentives from Telstra for staying connected for the full 12 months?

    e.g. JBHIFI has put me on the $99 Plan and brought the plan down to $89/Month. Just wanted to see if anyone who was trying to cancel was counter-offered an incentive by Telstra to stick with them? Such as providing additional monthly credit and/or any other incentive to NOT cancel?

    • CodeXD on 12/10/2020 - 13:48

      I also got the $10 monthly discount, but I'm already with boost and don't need the large data from this plan.

      From memory, you can actually change the plan on the telstra app. I saw the option but didn't dive into it too much as I was looking to cancel. So that might be something you can try.

      • DKZ370 on 12/10/2020 - 13:54

        Awesome, thank you so much for the info. I will definitely check it out.

  • Crayg on 12/10/2020 - 14:38

    Is it worth paying the extra purely for the Snapdragon chip vs the Exonys? This is for someone that doesn't game and just for web browsing, youtube, socials, etc.

    Can someone explain why no one likes the Exonys?

      Exynos = Lower performance due to overheating, shorter screen on time from faster battery draining. Probably worse image processing camera wise.

      That is why the Ozbers are crying for the SD Version of S20 series.

      • Athembi on 13/10/2020 - 12:29

  • fittymisty on 13/10/2020 - 11:33

    I am thinking about this JB Telstra deal. I have 2 questions:
    1. Does it include the free buds ?
    2. If i cancel the Telstra contract, how can i claim 2 year warranty with Samsung ? Does it come up with invoice that I can proof my purchase for warranty ?

    • Techie4066 on 13/10/2020 - 12:10
      +1

      1) Yes it does, because you're purchasing the FE directly from JB who is offering the Buds bundle until the 14th (tomorrow). It's exactly the same as purchasing full price, but this has a Telstra plan added on for the discount. Argue with the salesperson if they say no - this deal is $0/$150 through what is actually a disguised gift card promotion (you'll see that on the receipt).

      2) Phone is owned outright and provided directly by JB, as if you are purchasing it full price. You just need the JB receipt (it will show the gift card discount, that's all).

  • fedwood on 13/10/2020 - 13:17

  • Techie4066 on 13/10/2020 - 20:17

    Thanks so much for this deal. Tried my luck with the 5G 256GB version, but not successful. I got the 5G 128GB with the Buds included for free and a new Telstra phone number (I'm currently with Boost and not porting). They actually had stock in store! Just gotta cancel the plan tomorrow and will eventually sell my half-broken phone.

    I don't have to insert the SIM to do anything, do I?

  • Sunny10 on 13/10/2020 - 22:26

    How much will 5G 128Gb actually cost you? I was thinking to buy one from education store but saw this seems a decent deal with free buds. May i know if i sign up for 5g 128GB with new Telstra number how much i have to pay in total if i cancel it later? As i am with Boost and still have active plan till Dec this year so no Intention to port in real.
    Also if i sign up tomorrow, can i cancel after 2-3 days?
    Will cancellation of plan will have an Impact on credit history check in future especially when u have a loan going on?

    Thanks for Inputs
