Not bad - ETC is $594, so total cost to cancel same day is $1043 for the 128GB.

    I would fight like hell and refuse if they wanted me to pay a 'voucher reimbursement fee' as this is not stated in the T's & C's of the promotion.
    
    So yes I stand by this.

So the 256gb would be 549 + 594?
- Wickadz on 08/04/2021 - 11:30
  
  Yes. Ooft this is tempting.
- ahxching on 08/04/2021 - 11:35
  
  isnt it 549(handset) + 1188($99x12months)?
  - Wickadz on 08/04/2021 - 11:37
    
    If you cancel the plan on the same day, you only pay the cancellation fee of 594 and keep your current (cheap?) contract.

    ETC is handset cost plus half the remaining plan balance (i.e. 6x$99)

        @Wickadz: Voucher
        For new Telstra customers signing up to a mobile plan, you
        may be eligible to receive a voucher to put towards the
        purchase of goods from JB Hi-Fi or The Good Guys stores. It is
        not transferable or redeemable for cash (including any unused
        part). If you cancel, recontract or move to an ineligible plan
        then you will need to pay a Voucher Reimbursement
        Cancellation Fee pro-rated against the remaining months on
        your Plan, the maximum of which is set out in the table above.
        This is in addition to any Early Termination Charges set out in
        the above table and accessory payments.
        
        Wickadz on 08/04/2021 - 12:31
        
        @dasher86: I don't believe this is a voucher deal.
        
        This is just a once off deal that if you get the phone & plan together, the phone is at the discounted rate. The 256GB is $549 - way more than a $500 voucher for the phone.

        @dasher86: The table above says: The critical information summary on the $99 plan does say, maximum early termination charge ($594)
  - whitelie on 08/04/2021 - 11:39
    
    +1
    
    Nah, ETC (early termination charge) is cheaper than the total contract price because you're not using their service for that time. Essentially half the total contact if you cancel on Day 1. $594 at the start and gets cheaper as the contract goes on.
    - ahxching on 08/04/2021 - 12:29
      
      By cancelling the contract, does your credit rating go down or any other negative impacts?

        +1
        
        @ahxching: There will probably be a credit check done to get the contract initially. Actually cancelling it won't have any effect or be any different to staying the term of the contract
        
        ATTS on 08/04/2021 - 13:57
        
        @whitelie: if you pay cash will they still need to do credit check?

        @whitelie: I meant if you cancel the contract straight away and pay the ETC
        
        Wickadz on 08/04/2021 - 14:02
        
        @ATTS: Yes they will do a credit check even if you pay the phone in cash - as you will be going on a 12 month contract.

  you'd better off with Samsung's trade up offer if you are gonna cancel straight up.
  - superforever on 08/04/2021 - 11:46
    
    Only if you have phone to trade up.
    
    So cancel immediately and no need to port across?
    - ExtraSalt on 08/04/2021 - 11:49
      
      yeah obviously but more often than not some people might have said phone to trade in. Just a thought for those who may not have the time to pop into a store for 30mins, go though credit checks and then cancel once it's gone through
  - Wickadz on 08/04/2021 - 11:46

    They're only offering me $125 for my S9+ For that I'd rather give it to family.

      its $125 TradeUP + $500 Trade up bonus + $50 newsletter signup…thats $675 for your phone assuming theres no water damage or screen issues
      - Wickadz on 08/04/2021 - 11:50
        
        @ExtraSalt: Ah - you're right - I didn't notice there was an extra $500
        
        However, the new one to keep my S9+ is $1143. TradeUP through Samsung would be $1024.
        
        Personally, I'm still better off buying it outright and giving my phone away.
        
        ExtraSalt on 08/04/2021 - 12:00
        
        @Wickadz: by outright you mean signing up to a term contract and cancelling it ye? I guess thats ok if you have a clean record. some may have a somewhat dodgy credit history, so a credit check enquiry might not work in their favour in the future when applying for a large loan.
        
        Wickadz on 08/04/2021 - 12:06
        
        @ExtraSalt: Yeah signup and cancel - I used to work at a large credit bureau so I'm quite aware of my credit score & history.
        However, they say they are going to credit check but most of the time they don't bother. If you have a Telstra account and you're porting in a new number this is usually the case.
        
        ExtraSalt on 08/04/2021 - 12:09
        
        @Wickadz: Yeah sorry i wasn't questioning your rating. I left if open-ended for those who didn't know to consider.
        
        oh really? thats really good to know. I've got 2 numbers with Telstra so thats good to know for similar future posts. Is that usually like a hit or miss or is it quite obvious whether they do or not?
        
        Wickadz on 08/04/2021 - 12:16
        
        @ExtraSalt: Oh sorry I hope I didn't come across negative!
        
        I'm glad you've brought it to peoples attention - credit history can be really important and a bunch of things like this can make a big impact on future credit enquiries.
        
        Yea so what I'm thinking of now, is to use an old $2 sim in my name and transfer it into my existing (active) Telstra account. I did this a few years ago to get my S9+ (and family members the same) and never got a credit check - why would they credit check an existing and active account. This was JB Hi Fi though, haven't yet tried at good guys.

        @Chrool: theres a dropdown list on the website. the discounted phones ends today, but the $500 tradeup bonus should be until the end of the month
  - Soothsayer on 08/04/2021 - 13:09
    
    For me with an S9 this deal is better given the resale prices on eBay at the moment, unless I don't send in the phone and risk a $500 charge with trade up (still yet unknown if this will happen).

      yeah, as Wickadz and I discussed above, make sure you are aware of potential credit history implications. They usually sit on record for like 5yrs or something which will affect your max loan approval if you are looking at buying a home in the near future. It's only one transaction but they add up. everytime you get a check (even if you dont go ahead) it is recorded on your history.

So tempting to upgrade my s20 ultra since camera is big issue on mine. Currently with optus on $40 sim only deal
- wozz on 08/04/2021 - 12:04
  
  Just curious what camera issues you have? I had s20+ with no issues. Now have more 20 ultra which isn't quite as good (refocuses more than necessary) but not terrible
  - Julzx on 08/04/2021 - 12:22
    
    It's gotten a bit better since launch but the camera has a hard time locking focus when you are taking up close shot. Also even now after the patches if I take a picture of something up close not everything is in focus. From what I've read the s20 ultra has harder time to focus in comparison to the s20 or s21+ Since it uses different camera tech
    
    Also the Exynos in the s21 ultra is closer to the snapdragon which is nice.
  - nitens on 08/04/2021 - 12:43
    
    They "fixed" the s20 ultra issues with the laser autofocus (apple calls this lidar - same thing) they introduced in the note 20 ultra and kept for the s21 ultra.
    - Julzx on 08/04/2021 - 15:34
      
      Yeah if my s20 ultra had the laser auto focus it would be perfect for me.
      
      Deciding whether I should get the s21 ultra or wait till s22 ultra and hope they also have the AMD GPUs

      You have absolutely no idea of what you are saying. Laser used for auto focus and Lidar massively different. Apple "also" uses Lidar for helping with autofocus in low light and object segmentation etc.

        -1
        
        @dealsucker: As far as photography is concerned they are very similar in that they relay time of flight light info to the camera. Yes the scanning ability of the lidar sensor apple has is capable of additional tricks and is arguably a better solution . No need to get so salty or presume what I do and don't know.
        
        dealsucker on 09/04/2021 - 07:39
        
        @nitens: "They "fixed" the s20 ultra issues with the laser autofocus (apple calls this lidar - same thing)" - No they arent the same thing. Not by a long shot. It is like saying a bicycle and a Bugatti are the same thing, because they have round wheels.
        
        nitens on 09/04/2021 - 09:52
        
        @dealsucker: Whatever buddy… If you don't understand simplification for the sake of aiding understanding that's just fine by me. I'll cop that I probably used some lazy phrasing (possibly better to say apple uses the lidar scanner to achieve the same thing), but not to any lack of understating that you seem to presume. And depending on what the question is, a bicycle and a Bugatti are the same thing (types of vehicles or things with wheels) so your point doesn't make sense.

Rather than cancelling, has anyone had one of these deals and tried switching to a lower tier ($49/69) plan? Says you can do this through the Telstra app on month by month basis. Would this trigger something at TGG to ask you for their gifted credit (if we assume this is considered a voucher deal)?

Hopefully they have a similar deal in 2022 when the S22 series is out, then definitely going to jump to something like this.

Anyone know is GG is the same as JB where you receive a gift card that brings the price of the phone down to the sale price? Asking as last time i did this at JB my receipt still showed the full price of the phone and i could claim that price on my tax instead of the $99 i paid.
