      no there is ETC on the JB-HIFI plan as that is a 12 months contract

  • wilsong on 16/10/2020 - 16:33

    Update - there is a Early Termination Fee if you are coming from a JB HiFi contract. After signing up and given the green light the Telstra sales lady called back 1 hour later saying there is a Termination fee but she has waved it all and added it to her notes.

    Phew - happy camper here :)

      so she waived the ETC ? 0_o
      might have originally been a mistake and they waived it as a gesture of goodwill

        Yep - mistake on her end .. considering I only signed up 2 sim only plans to the JB HiFi contract 2 weeks ago.. so winning :)

        • LeoSpaceman on 29/10/2020 - 09:46

          @wilsong If the upgrade of the plan has happened - i.e. you can see the 180gb - and you've received the critical information summary from Telstra, does this mean that you're in the clear? I keep checking my email waiting to be hit with ETCs despite the chat agent confirming it's all good!

          • wilsong on 30/10/2020 - 14:54

            @LeoSpaceman: yep :-)

            in my case also she tried calling me and left voicemail messages stating this - so I have saved them too :)

            • wilsong on 03/11/2020 - 19:36

              @wilsong: haha nice..

      Yes very lucky there because you are meant to get an ETC. tried with a few different reps now and all said the plans are locked in with JB

      • MXsoul on 16/10/2020 - 16:58

        Same they offered me 10$ credit but apart from that they said they can't do anything . They are not allowed to touch JBhifi plans at all.

    • ArnoldSchwarzenegger on 16/10/2020 - 20:03

      Do you know the name of the consultant you spoke to? I am speaking to someone via online chat at the moment but they are saying there is nothing they can do to waive the fees.

    • LeoSpaceman on 28/10/2020 - 14:33

      I got freaked out about the stories here so I started the process via chat (after lodging on the app). The chat agent confirmed no early termination charges and that it will take 24-48hrs to reflect on the app and systems.

      Fingers crossed I have the same outcome as you - what an awesome deal!

  • chihaeru on 16/10/2020 - 16:57

    Just got confirmation that my JB HiFi plan was changed to the 180GB one, however I upgraded it before seeing the issue with ETC fee. I can't see anywhere on my account about the fee to be paid at the moment, but I'm on live chat to figure it out. Hopefully it isn't an issue, otherwise I'll move back to my old plan.

    EDIT: I was told by live chat that there will be no ETC fee. Screenshot here https://ibb.co/N7YbKKt

      that is great news!

      good news for people who are going to get the S20 5G on $99 plan and $0 upfront.

      upgrade it over to the 180GB - so you basically only paying $65month to month

      and since your out of contract, cancel that aswell… = very cheap S20 FE 5G

      • Modesty on 16/10/2020 - 17:26

        To get s20 fe , is it possible to signup over the phone?

      • LeoSpaceman on 28/10/2020 - 14:48

        This should go down in the OzBargain hall of fame if it works for more people than it doesn't!

    • Ch Rs on 16/10/2020 - 18:19

      Dang keen to do this but what if they said nope you gotta pay etc. Lol you might just be one of the lucky ones.

  • tj12345 on 16/10/2020 - 17:07

    I am on the recent JB $59 / 80gb deal. I messaged Telstra asking about upgrading to this and they said:

    Changing the plan now will triggers the early termination fee and also the exisiting discounts for your current plan will not be carried to you new plan.

  • Mooncakes on 16/10/2020 - 17:39

    So tempted to sign up but I currently pay $29 a month for 35GB and don't even remotely use that now and don't have a 5G phone.

  • zeoko on 16/10/2020 - 18:36

    Hi Telstra rep, I am currently on the 24 month $65 Jb-hi-fi contract which I signed up for last year for getting Pixel 4. Am I eligible for an upgrade? I contacted the support on chat and they say that I will have to pay early cancellation fees. I thought I could upgrade to $115 with this promotion and that would not change my monthly fees.

      Welcome to OzbargainTelstraChat

    • whitelie on 17/10/2020 - 07:32

      As you're ending a 24 month contract early, there will be an ETC to pay, even though it's considered more expensive/higher tier. The issue is going from a lock in contract to a month to month plan.

      • zeoko on 17/10/2020 - 10:04

        Thanks for the explanation. I get it now.
        I am just surprised that if I need more data on my current contract, I have to pay ETC and get a new plan. Seems like I am stuck with my current data for next 12 months.

        • whitelie on 17/10/2020 - 10:38

          You may be able to switch at JB rather than thru Telstra… Not 100% sure. When Telstra did 12/24 month contracts they would always let you go up in monthly costs but never down for free. May be the same with JB or they may have to re-contract you. You'd have to check with them.

  • mandelbrot on 16/10/2020 - 18:44

    I "upgraded" from a JB 12 month plan to this. Got the email for "Your Order Estimate", and there's no mention of ETC in the one-off charges section. Fingers crossed!

    • okp on 16/10/2020 - 22:24

      i got that too, but in the next email , it had the fees in the pdf…..

      • mandelbrot on 16/10/2020 - 22:44

        Bugger. I haven't received the next email yet.

      • AaronR on 17/10/2020 - 00:46

        What was the PDF that listed the ETC? Your actual monthly bill already?

  • Whatisthatvelvet on 16/10/2020 - 19:44

    Telstra chat told me there is a ETC as I'm on a contract. (JB $65/m plan)

  • docmartin on 16/10/2020 - 20:00

    Seems like the 89/month + 600gc is a better deal if the extra gb not really needed.

    Real value is if you can upgrade from the JB / TGG deal to this with no ETC.

    Conflicting info so far

    TGG deal very tempting.
    - 800gc, upgrade from 99/month to 115/month with the credit applied to make it 65/month.
    - Heck even just the 800gc and then paying the etc is tempting hmmm

    • trantonz on 16/10/2020 - 20:07

      It shows up in your credit history which is something worth consider.

    • Shik on 16/10/2020 - 22:47

    I was lucky on chat, got an agent to do the upgrade for me with the $50 credit and confirm no ETC.

    Been very lucky week as I was able to get the s20FE 5G with the free buds from JB plan and now downgrade to $65 in cost with upgrade to more data!

    Happy days!

      Edit: Sorry just saw your screenshot

      • bargrin on 16/10/2020 - 20:22

        but I dont think it matters if you give names casue they can never track down agent by names, had simillar issue before.

        Otherwise you should go direct to app where it shows the cost of upgrade as being "at least $0" and screenshot that.

        • ArnoldSchwarzenegger on 16/10/2020 - 20:57

          Too late, I already changed my plan this afternoon :(

        • zeoko on 16/10/2020 - 21:12

          I asked a rep that my app is showing zero cost for a switch of plan. This was the reply, "This may be because the app does not recognize the contract since it's from JB Hi-Fi but when the system detects that you have confirmed updating your plan to this offer, you will then be automatically charged the early termination fees on your upcoming bill".

          • okp on 16/10/2020 - 22:26

            @zeoko: anyone still got a screen shot of the my telstra app with the $0 upgrade ? i proceeded as well without taking the screen shot…@@

    Thanks for sharing OP. I upgraded my old $60 p/m with $10 loyalty discount that I’ve been on for years (with 23.1GB).

    Great to hear data sharing is coming back. Will they have a $5 data share sim, anyone know?

  • Pseudomocha on 17/10/2020 - 00:44

    This is a sick deal, but honestly don't need the data. I'm still on that $59 friends and family deal from 2 years ago with a $10 a month credit.

    • Smigit on 17/10/2020 - 07:18

      Yeah I’m on the $65 plan paying $49 from that period, but I’ll need a plan with 5G in a month. Might get on chat and see if I can get the $65 one with the same discounts I have. Don’t like my chances but.

  • Modesty on 17/10/2020 - 07:09

    Can people who signed up to jbhifi plan for s20 fe , can move to sim only $55 plan which gives 40 gb data as that is month to month , and after that cancel that and pay no etc?

    • whitelie on 17/10/2020 - 07:29

      You will more than likely cop the ETC as you're ending a 12 month contract and going month to month. Some people have reported them stuffing up and waiving the ETC but if they do it properly, you will have to pay it. You would have a better chance of moving to this deal as it's technically a more expensive plan/upgrade than the $55 plan.

  • dm501 on 17/10/2020 - 12:02

    This is a great post, and discussion! If I got the second SIM what router do you reckon best for a not big home? Would like to drop the crap Optus Internet altogether and switch to this 180gb plan, enough data for this house!

      Isn't the points bonus only if you get a handset through Telstra on that plan?
