Google Pixel 6 128GB for $499 / Pro 128GB for $799 Upfront on a Telstra $69 plan for 12 months (80GB Internet, unlimited Calls and Text)
Min Cost $1327 over 12 Months. In-Store Only. Ends 10/11/2021

Before anyone asks - I went in store a couple of weeks ago (Pre-Order) and signed up to the above deal. Created a new number and attached it to my exisiting account. Called up Telstra and they were able to deactivate my new number and move my exisiting number across and terminated my old plan ( 2 weeks left)

    The problem with JB Telstra plans is that they have no standard international dialling included.

    • siiking on 06/11/2021 - 16:30

      U mean most Telstra plans? I think you can still add international call pack right

      • mattman on 06/11/2021 - 16:33

        Can't even be added afaik.

            @siiking: Can I ask who you checked with? Telstra told me last week that you can't add the international pack to 3rd party plans now (I did it with them last year with no issues but they're saying it's not allowed now)

      • Jofzar on 06/11/2021 - 17:51

        My "small" plan has 30 minutes a month, it's about 4 months old at this point so unless they have removed it the standard plan has it.

          Donno why u get downvoted. And yeah my grandparents aren’t that skilled with those apps. I found some Internet phone call service better deals if u don’t make overseas calls that often.

        Sometimes you need to call some official numbers overseas for telco, government organisations, companies etc.

          I agree but $5 of Skype credit will give you that ability - and it lasts a year.

          • BargainHunterMYz on 07/11/2021 - 20:41

            @R4: Not sure about others, but Skype wouldn't let me call overseas when on mobile network. It only works when I'm on WiFi

            • R4 on 07/11/2021 - 23:08

              @BargainHunterMYz: I've never had a problem with that - although I don't use it very much.

        Simply maybe cos the people whom you want to call don't have access to the net ? A lot of the world still runs on 2G and less

          +1

          Many apps have inbuilt voip functions. You can still call standard numbers.

          But still I don't understand how a $59+ plan can't have overseas calling or at least a budget to do so. This isn't the 90's.

          • vrsac on 06/11/2021 - 23:03

            @plmko: Exactly!

      • AussieMark on 06/11/2021 - 18:46

        those apps only work in some countries

        you can use vpn to access facebook and whatsapp but again most people in those countries dont feel comfortable or are a bit hesitant to take that risk

      • Safoan on 07/11/2021 - 02:42

        I need it as I can't make calls on messenger or whatsapp while using Android auto. Plus unless u have very good network the call quality can be spotty over internet while direct call would work just fine.

  • LongJohn92 on 06/11/2021 - 16:29

    Anyone know if there's a way of getting this deal if you're with Boost? I can't see making a new number and asking to cancel the new one working if you're with Boost.

    • mattman on 06/11/2021 - 16:34
      +1

      If you wanted to go that route, you'd get a new number with the JB plan, port boost into a Telstra prepaid and then get the contract moved over to that number.

      Pretty messy and afaik it can result in some downtime on primary number, but can be done.

      If you're waiting for a JB deal 59 come along better off getting onto some other provider.

      • LongJohn92 on 06/11/2021 - 18:05

        Yeah. I might switch and wait out. Cheers man!

    • PaddlerSam on 06/11/2021 - 18:06

      I've done it before. Just sign up to this deal with a new number and sim. Then talk to boost- not telstra (they were so terrible at trying to help with this) that you would like to transfer your number with boost to your new telstra plan, overriding the new one. Tried to get telstra to do it a few times and they were hopeless but the person from boost did it in less than 5 minutes.

      • dainese on 09/11/2021 - 13:09

        I was keen to jump on this the day before the deal ended. The consultant was so honest and said he wouldn't recommend the process of porting boost over to teltsra contract with these conditions and terms. Risky and couldn't guarantee anything.

        I think I'm seeking comfort and assurances from randoms on ozb!

        • PaddlerSam on 09/11/2021 - 15:04

          Just offering my own experiences. There wasn't any issues and it was really quick and easy but if you are unsure about it no worries.

          • dainese on 09/11/2021 - 15:30

            @PaddlerSam: No, I thank you. It was your account plus a few others that have provided me with more confidence than if I didn't know at all. So Yeah I am keen and hoping that I will have the same experience. But I don't think many have thought to drive the change from Boost instead of Telstra. That might be the trick. The Consultant was quite honest and conservative, warning that people's experience will vary.

            • PaddlerSam on 09/11/2021 - 16:05

              @dainese: Glad to hear. Yeah I think it might have to do with telstra support being offshore from my experience while I may have had an Australian that was understanding my request when I spoke to the boost chat since it could be a little confusing. You just have to be clear with which number you want to keep. I just kept the telstra sim in my wallet, spoke to boost and when I lost reception and hour later I swapped them over. Was easy with boost too since i was paying month to month as well.

              • dainese on 09/11/2021 - 16:12

                @PaddlerSam: Cheers, yeah I think the Telstra consultants would have rules or expecations over what they can do. If the offer is specifically and predicated on a new number than maybe they consider anything but that to be breaking the offer or contract. The jb hi fi consultant said that technically would be within their rights

              • dainese on 12/11/2021 - 10:38

                @PaddlerSam: Hi mate, picked up the phone on the last day of the sale. So you would suggest first attempt would be to speak directly to Boost? And the request is as simple as adding the Boost mobile number to the new telstra account and 'deleting' the new Telstra number?

                • PaddlerSam on 12/11/2021 - 13:28
                  +1

                  @dainese: Yeah I just used their online chat earlier this year but it seems like they have switched to a call number. Give them a call and let them know you would like to transfer your current boost number to your telstra post paid number, overriding the old telstra number in the process.

                  • dainese on 14/11/2021 - 11:52

                    @PaddlerSam: It's not going well so far….

                    Boost seemed to understand and put my number in quarantine. Then said I had to finalise with Telstra. Have tried multiple times now. Not good. Not looking good.

                    might have to just cancel the telstra contract and cop the termination fee. very disappointing if I don't get much more traction!

                    • PaddlerSam on 14/11/2021 - 16:55

                      @dainese: That's odd, sorry to hear you are not having the same experience as me. You can try with Telstra too to see if they are able to bring the number over or perhaps try with another operator? Worse case is your early termination still results in a net gain as it is less than the value which you saved? I'd keep trying for a bit if you can

                      • dainese on 15/11/2021 - 10:50

                        @PaddlerSam: OMG fixed. I think the trick is to drive it home from the Boost end. I tried Boost again this morning and managed to get the same consultant as last week. Sorted out after a call back and them instructing telstra consultant.

                        So relieved and happy. Thank you for your advice and help.

    • websterp on 06/11/2021 - 17:20

      I think you have to stay off Telstra/Boost for 90 days now before porting over. Used to be 30 but they seem to have increased it. I too am on the same boat.

        • G-rig on 16/11/2021 - 05:26

          Fwiw I ended up doing a factory reset and clean install of Android 12 (not from backup) and the battery is much better. Recommend doing this even though it's more effort. Probably good security wise every so often and getting hardly any spam SMS now. Was tempted to install 11 but kind of pointless now.

          It is a 10% back as Google credit, so not exactly 10% off the price. But if you wanted some other stuff, it can work in your favour.

    • Gary Gary Gary on 06/11/2021 - 21:14

      If work pays for your plan it's a very cheap phone as a bonus.

      If you pay for your won stuff and need a new phone both are tax deductible, so you get 37% back from the yearly plan, and 37% back from the phone in full, as it comes on it's own receipt. - Works out cheap for sure.

  • SluggyAF on 07/11/2021 - 09:58

    Don’t do it peeps. The JB plans are limiting and expensive. You won’t save on the phone. Telstra also see them as external, and a simple change or upgrade of your plan 3 months out will come with a disconnection fee. Telstra are the worst to deal with too. If you can afford it, buy the phone outright and get a prepaid sim or Telstra (or Optus - even better) BYO plan.

    • lethalmoney on 07/11/2021 - 10:31

      also when you consider how good the Aldi plans are, for price to price, you're saving about 45$ a month not being on a T$ plan.
      45x12 = 540$ towards an outright phone, on a great data rollover plan with no commitments.

    • dainese on 07/11/2021 - 10:45

      I am usually quite careful and dubious of these deals but I am trying hard to resist it. I am on boost now and spend around $30 a month anyway, and this JB deal with Telstra seems like a decent way to get the new phone and spread the cost without a stupidly long contract. A bit torn

      I always buy one outright, and sell the old phone within two model updates. All these plans aren't that cheap and although I've never really had prepaid I've got to say that this boost ultra anytime 365 Sim has been great for cheap, plenty of data etc.

    I have to port out and in as i know it. Do i head to optus sign up to a month to month for example and cancel right away? That will cost me quite abit as well as time.

    I signed up with a new Telstra number on the JB pre-order Pixel 6 Pro deal while my existing number remains with Telstra prepaid. I'm still waiting for the phone to arrive though. Is there any risk in asking Telstra now to deactivate my new number and move my exisiting number across prior to receiving the phone? Don't want JB asking for $500 to hand the phone over when it finally arrives, for instance. Thanks.

    • vietjesus on 08/11/2021 - 06:28

      I doubt it. The $500 GC is issued by JB. What you're doing is with Telstra. I did it before the phone arrived. So I know it works.

  • CalmLemons on 08/11/2021 - 20:51

    do you still get the giftcards if you purchase an iphone instead?
