Not sure if nation wide or VIC only.
An update/variation to this deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/660118

Have just ported to Telstra this morning (Melbourne CBD Store) and found out Telstra has updated this deal snd reduce the giftcard to $400 (instead of $500) but you get 200GB instead of 150GB.

The deal shown on staff’s portal still say 150GB , but PDS and my contract papers shown has been updated to 200GB (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0024/9803/5810/files/JB-Hi…)

$99 a month - $30 credit for 12 months
200GB of data with no excess data charges (capped speeds)
5g availability
12 month contract
$400 gift card. (No expiry)

Effectively $69 a month
Minimum total cost over 12 months is $828

$828-400=428
$328/12 = $35.6 a month

      Existing customers or only for new ?

      • yl001 on 10/11/2021 - 11:12

        as previous year ,should be for new customer

        • Looking4Bargians on 10/11/2021 - 11:54

          Can I port out to Vodafone/Optus $2 sim and then port back in again the next day as a new customer?

    • JSONBourne on 10/11/2021 - 11:12

      Agree, $59 with $500 and I’m sold. You lose $220 over 12 months by signing with this.

      $69 with $500 gift card was nice, I was tempted but I’m holding out.

      • yojabbajabba on 10/11/2021 - 12:45

        I asked for port in credit at $69 and got it, bringing the monthly plan down to $59

        • JSONBourne on 10/11/2021 - 12:49

          How did you go about getting that? And how long were you ported out for?

            “Hi there
            The rep said I could apply for $10/month welcome credit for porting in to Telstra. Could you please help me with this?”

            $10/month * 12 months confirmed via chat and on first bill.

        • halfass3d on 10/11/2021 - 13:32

          I ported in couple days ago on the 500 off iphone 13/69pm plan, was denied the port-in credit both at store and in chat sadly.

              @Whatisthatvelvet: Agree, signed up the $69/month late last month for $500 JB Hi-Fi GC, first guy on chat said nothing can be offered, second guy spent a few minutes searching and came back and said can offer me $10/month for 6 months, I couldn't be bothered to chase for more and ok'ed the $60.

    • kookiexoxo on 10/11/2021 - 11:24

      Yeah I got that deal last year. Probs should’ve waited more. But I need the data now :(

  • spiinl on 10/11/2021 - 11:14

    For a moment I thought it was the ultimate deal of $99 for 12 months with 200gb data and bonus Giftcard!

  • jazeng on 10/11/2021 - 11:14

    is the churn out time still >1 month before you can rejoin telstra?

    • niknikniknik on 10/11/2021 - 11:19

      30 days or 90 days depending on which store you go to.

      • Nuggets on 10/11/2021 - 11:21

        How does this work in practice?

        Is there a popup on Siebel that says "this number was with Telstra within the past 90 days"?

        • kookiexoxo on 10/11/2021 - 11:46

          No they mentioned it doesn’t pop up in siebel anymore. They had to check billing. So if you have no active telstra billing anymore, you can get away with it

    • kookiexoxo on 10/11/2021 - 11:20

      30 days at JB hi fi Elizabeth st Melbourne cbd

    • bluehalk on 10/11/2021 - 11:30

      I was lucky enough to rejoin within 10 days of porting out last month. There really is no way for them to check and verify, as long as your Telstra account has no billing account (I think, when you login to telstra account and see no service or any bills), they can't really tell.

      I just played dumb and said, I am not sure how long it has been since I ported out, so just check and the guy at JBHIFI did check it, but couldn't really verify the actual time. May be just luck. Wouldn't hurt to give it a go.

      • kookiexoxo on 10/11/2021 - 11:44

        I overheard they mentioned they can’t see when’s the last time you port out of telstra anymore. they had to went back to check my previous bills to see when I ported out. And they can do that because my telstra billing is still active (still have another account from Telstra)

        Maybe you can get away with it as long as they can’t check billing

        • bluehalk on 10/11/2021 - 11:47

          Yes, that was my experience as well when I signed up. My billing account was still active when I ported out, but after a day or two it wasn't when the last $99 deal ($30 credit and $500 gc) was on, so I went to JB and they couldn't really tell, and the guy asked the other guy and he replied along the lines of checking the active billing account, and since there wasn't one, they were ok to sign me up.

          • JSONBourne on 10/11/2021 - 12:50

            @bluehalk: How do you check if your billing account is still active? I ported out a few days ago, I don't have any Payments or Services showing in my Telstra portal anymore but my Early Termination Fee hasn't been charged yet.

            • bluehalk on 10/11/2021 - 13:21

              @JSONBourne: I usually just login to Telstra account online, and it shows if you have the service and billing account active. For me, service was not showing active after porting out, but billing was still active for couple of days. That too went away after the initial couple of days.

    • 76F on 10/11/2021 - 11:42

      Signed up again after porting out for a few hours. Might depend on the store/who you get

    • punkman on 10/11/2021 - 20:40

      I ported out for 7 days and signed up on the last deal, I had some credit on my telstra account and it just appeared on my new account. Not sure who or why they say you need to port out for 30 days.

  • metatech on 10/11/2021 - 11:18

    Can you data share these plans?

    • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2021 - 11:24

      Nope. Direct with Telstra, you can. I signed up last week at JB thinking you could. Went to Telstra right after to get a few data share sims for my iPad and laptop.

      They confirmed that sadly, the JB plans are on a different billing system that doesn't support data sharing. Telstra plans directly with them are on their new billing platform that does support it. A real shame :(

    ugh even though it's technically possible to sign up as an existing customer (last time i did it, it was anxiety producing having to speak with 5 different chat reps), so annoying these are always for new/port-in customers

    • JSONBourne on 10/11/2021 - 11:40

      Which chat reps do you talk to? Telstra directly?

    • nguyentran on 10/11/2021 - 11:54

      In whirlpool they share a trick for you to create a new phone number and after that add the current number to this plan, take like 40 mins but it works.

  • NatoTomato on 10/11/2021 - 12:04

    At this price point and data amount, you'd have to be using the Mobile Data as your primary broadband right?

    • lehendx123 on 10/11/2021 - 12:19

      I have unlimited data NBN at home and 180GB from mobile but still not enough!

      • NatoTomato on 10/11/2021 - 12:44
        +1

        200gb at home wouldn't go very far for us. I think we regularly use 1tb of data a month, but I use less than 5gb of Mobile Data so I only have a 15$ pre-paid.

      • onlinepred on 10/11/2021 - 13:26

        You use 180gb of data on your phone a month!

    • kookiexoxo on 10/11/2021 - 13:12

      Yeah I have a 200gb limit home broadband, but since WFH I find that I need extra 50GB or so each month.
      So planning to use this to prop it up, plus will use mainly to take work video calls when on the go (e.g. for a walk) and tethering when working remotely elsewhere.

  • Averell on 10/11/2021 - 12:21

  • The General on 10/11/2021 - 16:34

    For low end users. But does NOT include any phone call allowance.

    $49 for 12 months. 60GB p/m. With a $250 gift card.
    https://www.jbhifi.com.au/pages/mobile-broadband

    Total cost of plan $558. Minus the $250 GC comes to $28.16 p/m.
    Will Telstra give you the $10 port in bonus with this plan? $18 p/m would be a great deal if they did.

    *Edit - Might start a new thread on this one.

  • Redhill1968 on 10/11/2021 - 19:32

    I am Telstra prepaid, can I still get this deal?

    • kookiexoxo on 10/11/2021 - 20:32

      You can if it’s new number, as it will be new contract. but if you want to keep the sane number, I think you need to port out to a cheap sim and then get this

  • punkman on 10/11/2021 - 20:41

    Weird I signed up to the last deal a week ago, checked the telstra app and it says I have 200gb a month in place of the 150gb of the last deal.

    Wonder if anyone else had this applied automatically.

    If you look at the T&C on the $99-$30 deal it states

    $99 BYO Plan - Recontract Only = 12 months minimum
    $99 BYO Plan = 24 month minimum

    Am I reading that right as in if you are a new customer you have a 24m minimum????

  • Pianoman1 on 14/11/2021 - 23:28

    Signed up today as a new number to get the $500 gift card then chat swapped my existing Telstra number (off contract) to the new plan within the hour but had to deal with two reps to get it done.

    Now has anyone been lucky enough to get an extra $10 off per month on the already $30 discount? :P

    • JSONBourne on 15/11/2021 - 14:51

      Took some persistence as it seems some consider the $30 discount to be your port in discount, but eventually got there with $10 off as promised.

    Merged from $69 Telstra Mobile Plan with 200GB Data on a 12-Month Contract & $400 JB Hi-Fi Gift Card @ JB Hi-Fi in-Store/over Phone

    Maybe it's a typo but looks like current JB offer for $69/month over 12 months now includes 200gb (previously only available with the $99 plans).
    $400 gift card, and maybe the $10 /month rep chat offer still applies looking at most recent comments - YMMV.

    Personally hoping for another $59/month with $500 closer to black friday.

    • bemybubble on 15/11/2021 - 11:20

      • Jimothy Wongingtons on 15/11/2021 - 11:51

        yes at least since last year - source: I signed up over phone with their phone sales team which I believe is still based in Perth.
        The process took about 40 minutes.

        As for proof of ID, they ask for document numbers eg drivers license.

    • Mahip on 15/11/2021 - 11:20

      I believe it's $99 plan with $30 credit for first one year. The plan will revert to $99 per month after one year…

    • Clarky77 on 15/11/2021 - 11:21
      +5

      Yeah I believe this is the $99 plan but they give you a $30 credit per month for 12 months after which time it reverts back to $99. This has popped up a few times before recently.

      You have to be so data hungry to make this worth it….. Myself I am happy with around less than 5GB data a month, so any of those 365 prepaid plans with 60GB+ works perfect for me which cost me around or less than $100 per year.

      • fillit on 15/11/2021 - 11:53

        Yeah I agree, barring someone using this as their home internet or having a long commute to work, I can't see someone needing 200GB a month?

        Personally I'm on the Aldi Plan for $25 a month and I've banked over 150GB of data since I've been using it

        • [Deactivated] on 15/11/2021 - 12:01

          I use my quota of 160GB a month because I have data share sims for my iPad and pocket modem which I use for work out of home. For someone doing that, fairly worth it. If not, certainly no point paying for data you'll never use

        • st1ng on 15/11/2021 - 12:51
