JB Hi-Fi is offering $1200 off any iPhone 13 on the $99m 150GB (24mths) plan. See also the previous post specific to iPhone 13 Pro: [Pre Order] iPhone 13 Pro 128GB $499, with $99/Month Telstra 150GB 24M Plan (New & Port-in Customers) in-Store @ JB Hi-Fi

Or you can get $500 off any iPhone 13 on the $69m 80GB (12) plan.

It’s a great deal if you need loads of data and can claim your phone bill on the tax return.

I went to the store (Southport) and they didn’t have any banners on asides for one saying iPhone 13 $150 upfront with $99m plan.

I enquired them about it and they said it’s a $1200 gift card towards any of the iPhones 13.
Or you can get $500 gift card on the $69m plan, which is not as good as the $600 one, but it’s still nice.

You can also get a Galaxy S21 5G 128GB for $199 upfront with the $69m plan.

            @ely: Based on your calculations/ assumptions, my mom is on 0.01$ a month plan(Kogan) no lock in contract, gets a brand new number every months. No issues and covers way more than her needs, so, for her, you plan is 299.76% expensive to her. Not a bargain then I believe.

            What I am saying is, everyones needs is different.

              @Kabin999: Good to see that you're saying the same thing as me then, I hope you weren't one of the idiots negging me for pointing that out.

              Surprised that pointing out that it depends, rather than it's a 1200 saving, is somehow controversial rather than obvious.

                @ely: Don't think you quite understood what people were pointing out to you… Why criticise that this is 2k more than your current. Totally irrelevant to this deal it's self
                If you're wanting an iPhone 13 and you use lots of data it's a decent plan. If you plan to have the cheapest plan possible for your needs and you don't need an iPhone 13,then this deal is definitely not for you. You were told from your first comment you're comparing something low to something alot higher, but you still argue your point that you only need 6gb over 150gb.

                @ely: What I was and other people are saying is, the comparison you have done is irrelivant. Why? Because you are comparing
                1) Vaya with Telstra, who prefers Vaya, Dodo, Kogan or any other provider if they can get Telstra on cheap
                2) For the price you are paying, you have 6gb data and as you are saying, it covers your need but there are a lot people who need more than 6gb data you get, so they might want to go with this deal.

                Basically your comparison is like Economic Flight on Tiger air to Say a 1st Class premium flights of Delta or any other Airlines. Both will take you to the destination but how you will reach will be different.

    unless you woke up saying i want to lock myself in a 2yr 150GB plan at $49+ a month dont bother, buy phone outright & buy a sim that suits your needs:

    Cost over 2yrs: $2376 +

    iPhone 13 (256GB) – $319

      Considering the tax implications - this is actually a great deal tbh.

      However for those who cannot otherwise claim on tax and don’t use much internet, @roguewolf is right, terrible deal.

      • sauce2k on 19/09/2021 - 18:10

      • PhilToinby on 19/09/2021 - 18:12
        +3

        You can claim any phone plan on your tax. It doesn't matter if it's a $99/month or $99/year. The more you pay, the more out of pocket you are…

        • Jaystea on 19/09/2021 - 18:42
          +1

          Agreed, however it’s also based on need. Thus I mentioned the caveat of internet usage as well (I have no broadband, so this will work out better for me, as I can’t claim broadband on tax)

          There are other pros including being on the telstra network.

          It’s important to note that everyone’s financial situation is different and that’ll change how it works for everyone.

      • nomekop on 19/09/2021 - 20:02

        Can you clarify what do you mean with tax implications?

        • Jaystea on 19/09/2021 - 20:36
          +9

          As in, claiming the phone's outright cost (as well as plan cost) for work purposes. For me, realistically I use my phone for work 90% of the time, if not more for calls. Since phone usage is largely calculated based on calls in the eyes of the ATO, I can claim 90% of the cost of the phone as well as the plan on my taxable income.

          Say you spend $1000 on your phone, and $1000 on your plan in 1 year. 90% of that total $2000 is $1800.

          So take $1800 off your taxable income. If you earn $181,800 for example, your new taxable income would be $180,000. Effectively meaning you save $810 from tax (45% for every dollar over $180,000). So your actual out of pocket cost from that $1800 is $990.

          Thus the true cost of the phone over 1 year would be $990+200 = $1190.
          If you sell your phone yearly, like I do with the iPhone, you get back about $1200 in cash.

          This means you're effectively profiting $10 every year for getting a new phone. Re-jig the numbers a bit and you might be able to find something that works for you.

    • RogueWolf on 19/09/2021 - 18:40

      only small upside I find is if you're intending to lock yourself in a 24m plan because you can't afford to buy it outright, a quick look it's cheaper than other telcos & has more data, but you have to pay X amount upfront.

      Another breakdown to compare against other telcos 24m plans,

      Price per month over 24m including upfront cost:

      iPhone 13

      iPhone 13 (128GB) – $105.20
      iPhone 13 (256GB) – $112.29
      iPhone 13 (512GB) – $126.87

      iPhone 13 Mini

      Mini (128GB) – $99
      Mini (256GB) – $106.04
      Mini (512GB) – $120.62

      iPhone 13 Pro

      Pro (128GB) – $119.79
      Pro (256GB) – $126.87
      Pro (512GB) – $141.45
      Pro (1TB) – $156.04

      iPhone 13 Pro Max

      Pro Max (128GB) – $126.04
      Pro Max (256GB) – $133.12

    These deals annoy me.

    I'd happily pay $30/month for a Telstra 5g plan with 5-10gb of data, but they have nothing for this segment if the market.

    In telstra's warped mind, I have to d*ck around with the tattoo'd guy (and multiple piercing) at JB hifi, then figure out how to sell the phone or gift card … and I'd still finish up with a plan that cost $35+/month and more data than I can reasonably consume (even if I start jerking off 10 times a day).

    Instead, I'll stick to a 4g plan for $10/month that lets me jerk off 3-6 times a day.

The only mechanism they have is via the standard sales hotline, which doesn't do 'special specials', only standard advertised specials. Supposedly they're working on a fix for this in the coming weeks that Telstra have finally approved (perhaps a contractual sign-up issue? Not sure…).

    They put the port request in BEFORE THE SIM ARRIVES TO YOU.

    Can someone please explain how to get the $10 port-in bonus?

    I ported out to Optus a few months ago in prep for this, but if I go into store they will port in my number there. How do people hassle Telstra chat to apply a $10 credit to it AFTER the fact?

  • r1mick on 21/09/2021 - 12:01

    Doing some math as well.

    Telstra 80GB SIM-ONLY plan (no lock in)- $65 p.m.
    Port In discount (if you can get) $10 p.m.

    So $14 p.m saving over JB's $69 = $168

    Add that to the $300 you can save by using the Woolies 30x points (I think it expires today 21/09)

    Paying $32 over 12 months to NOT be in a locked in contract seems better

  • Ryuukl on 22/09/2021 - 17:46

    Can anyone tell me how to get the $10 port in credit. I just tried via the chat in Telstra app with no success?

  • aidenh37 on 24/09/2021 - 14:17

    Worth noting the XL plan (180GB) is on sale at the moment, for $65 per month direct with Telstra. Also Optus has brought back their Promo plan in repsonse, 500GB for the same price. Both plans return to a higher price after a year, although with no contract there will likely be better options this time next year.

  • Bjaja1 on 14/10/2021 - 13:55

    Is this not a better deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/652749 ?

    Only thing is it's Vodafone, but I believe they've gotten better over the past couple years. Considering biting the bullet on one of these deals.
