      Yes, you can upgrade from prepaid to postpaid

      Is it possible to get this JB deal with the $300 voucher or this one with the 5G S20FE and then switch immediately to this one?
      Asking for a friend…

      • bs0 on 16/10/2020 - 11:06

        Ask telstra chat.
        There are better value plans than that one from jb

        Spoken to them last night and discussed same. I need to pay 399$ for early termination. I signed up recently for that 500$ voucher. Still a win on my part.

        • Bargain85hunter on 16/10/2020 - 17:34

          Once you got connected to Telstra via JBHIFI, after how many days did you get the $500 voucher?

          • Fredfloresjr on 16/10/2020 - 17:54

            @Bargain85hunter: Took about 5-10minutes for the whole process including the 500$ voucher. Used it straightaway to buy ipad for my toddler

      • turkz1 on 16/10/2020 - 11:19

        Would like to know this as well

      • Tregetour on 16/10/2020 - 11:49

        I just did this & had about 5 months to go on my plan - didn't see any ETC costs whatsoever so looks safe to do.

    • tdonovic on 16/10/2020 - 11:19

      I was also able to convert from a $65 jbhifi 12 month 80gb contract to this, what a deal. Edit: hope I dont get slugged ETC

      • turkz1 on 16/10/2020 - 11:19

        Were you still in contract? No ETC?

      • jayypandaa on 16/10/2020 - 12:03

        If you're "upgrading" plans on Telstra, it should not incur the ETC.

      • tdonovic on 16/10/2020 - 12:38
        +4

        They said because I was moving to a more expensive plan they would waive the etc. A free out of my contract and 2x the data, thanks Telstra

      Sweet just upgraded by plan from the $199 S20 plus deal $99pm to the XL.

      Awesome saving and no ETC as it is upgraded -

      • turkz1 on 16/10/2020 - 12:22

        Did you do this via Telstra or JB?

        • tnarg on 16/10/2020 - 12:25
          +2

          Just on the app - selected my account - clicked manage upgrade - selected the XL plan.
          If they try and argue about the ETC, I'll state that it showed no ETC when changing and it is an upgrade.
          If they want to charge it, I'll just ask them to change it back,
          See how we go

          • turkz1 on 16/10/2020 - 12:54

            @tnarg: Cool if you could post an update on how this goes for you that’d be great

              @turkz1: Just checked again and it specifically says $0 to switch

              • turkz1 on 16/10/2020 - 13:28

                @tnarg: Thanks for sharing. Just did the same. Believe it’s a manual process before the actual plan change takes effect so hopefully no issues.

                @tnarg: I asked Telstra on chat and they said there was an ETC. I then stepped through the upgrade process on the app, and there wasn't any mention of an ETC. So, no idea…

                • bajirao on 17/10/2020 - 12:31

                  @mandelbrot: Also @tnarg - The app shows $0 ETC but you will be charged - I had even tried in store in past but there was no way to move from JB plan to M2M plan without paying ETC. So keep an eye on your next couple of monthly bills.

          • brodieb321 on 16/10/2020 - 14:15

            @tnarg: Did you have to do another credit check for this? I have reached this but don't want to go through another credit check..

          • FlamedTofu on 18/10/2020 - 18:49

            @tnarg: Yeah I did similar, they actually emailed me offering me to upgrade with a $100 bonus, no mention of an ETC, month later ETC, couple of hours on live chat with a really rude employee and got it waived after they raised the TIO number for me, they refused the $100 bonus, at this point I was over it, but hey got out of my contract early.

    • countmein on 17/10/2020 - 09:37

      On the same boat, still in contract via JB and paying $65, would they see it as an upgrade (no ETC) if this also cost $65?

  • pzhon on 16/10/2020 - 11:11

            @shane2770: It states it within the “hot offer” under the plan details and then is a “bonus credit” in checkout/order summary before confirming order

    • b3au on 16/10/2020 - 11:33
      +3

      Yes - it's been free for a few years on postpaid plans, and Telstra has just extended it to prepaid (including Boost) in the last few weeks.

      • the fig man on 16/10/2020 - 11:49

        how do you activate it ?

        • b3au on 16/10/2020 - 11:52

          If it's not 'just working' you might need to jump on live chat/Telstra messaging and ensure that "MessageBank Plus" is active on your account. It's supposed to be automatic but this isn't always the case…

          • Rakddon on 31/10/2020 - 01:11

            @b3au: I've messaged telstra and they are wanting to charge me $5 even though i am using an iPhone.

  • branners on 16/10/2020 - 11:32

    • Arcticviper on 16/10/2020 - 11:36

      Yeah, after the 180gb you will be capped to 1.5 megabit

  • whitelie on 16/10/2020 - 11:33

    Geez it's good value but excessive for me. I wish they'd just drop the 80gb plan to $40 or thereabouts…currently getting 40gb $39 but want 5g

    • b3au on 16/10/2020 - 11:36
      +11

      If it's an option for you to head into a Telstra owned store (ie, not a franchise, and not available via live chat), you can ask to be moved to the Telstra mobile starter plan? 80GB for $45, including 5G access https://www.telstra.com.au/help/critical-information-summari…

      (It's the first trial plan in Salesforce, Telstra's new billing system so it's not quite at feature parity with the standard Telstra plans yet, eg no One Number if you have an Apple Watch, and no eSIM support. Hence the ~$20 discount on the equivalent Medium plan)

      • [Deactivated] on 16/10/2020 - 12:39

        Damn, that plan looks good. I'm paying $49/month for 60GB with no 5G atm…

      • Smigit on 16/10/2020 - 13:00

        That'd be perfect if I could use it with my Apple Watch.

      • ricochet on 16/10/2020 - 16:25

        Couldn't you add the $5 apple watch option to this plan to share the number?

        EDIT: oh sorry, just read comment properly about OneNumber being excluded… damn :(

      • Nuggets on 25/10/2020 - 19:26

  • ViperAMD on 16/10/2020 - 11:43

    Silly question but if you're in a 5G area could you use this as day to day for internet? Could you get a secondary sim and use a router that has that capability?

    • 2pro4sho on 16/10/2020 - 11:56

      How do you link 2 sims with the one service? And Telstra does not do data sharing plans

      • mandelbrot on 16/10/2020 - 12:13
        -1

        You can do data sharing on business plans.

        • 2pro4sho on 16/10/2020 - 12:23

          We are talking about consumer plans.

      • b3au on 16/10/2020 - 12:24

        Data sharing is coming back

    • eltito on 16/10/2020 - 12:47

      Curious about this as well.

      So, the first sim would just stick in your phone and be used as normal and the second sim would go into the router and you'd use it as a wifi/hotspot modem.

      However to do this, you need data sharing? Does this mean it's possible to do on a business plan? Would this be cheaper than signing up to say an NBN plan along with a mobile phone plan?

      • mandelbrot on 16/10/2020 - 14:06

        This plan is also available for Small Business.

    • dealord on 22/11/2020 - 09:58

      Maybe check out the boost deals - I paid $160 for 100gb data and unlimited calls/texts (12 month expiry), will work out cheaper for you by $200 a year!

  • Munki on 16/10/2020 - 12:16

    I'm getting this message when I try to "upgrade".

    You can only upgrade to a new phone after your outstanding balance has been paid. If you have already paid this balance, please try again later.

    Edit: Nevermind forgot my bill was overdue and my payment hasn't gone through the system yet.

  • htielr on 16/10/2020 - 12:20

    I am currently in a $65 lock in contract with 6 months left. The new plan says no lock in contract. If i upgrade do i have to pay the ETC ?

    • Munki on 16/10/2020 - 12:22

      It'll treat it as an "upgrade", since it's a higher tier plan, so I think you won't incur a penalty.

    • JMxoxo on 16/10/2020 - 12:24
      +1

      You’ll be going from a $65 plan to $115 with $50 bonus credit off, so it’ll be an upgrade

    sigh, extra $10 if you want international calls , for a $115 plan , really?
