Need to swap to Telstra recently and went to one JB HIFI store in ENEX Perth, WA to inquire the plans.
New promotion just for this week limited.
The old plan was $99*24 months. But now it will credit $20 per month, which brings the monthly fee to $79.
On top of it, you can get a Samsung Galaxy S22 5G 128GB / $800 JB hifi gift card. (You can also upgrade to S22 higher-spec by paying the gap).

In my case, I have to use Telstra network so not too many choices for me.
Besides, I have an NBN at home, for which I pay $60 per month and I am living by myself. I am going to cancel the broadband and just use this 300GB, which should be too much for me.. (Checked this month I only used 150+GB with my NBN).
Unfortunately, I am an Apple user, so I might get the gift card. (Though the phone values $1249, I can't be bothered to sell it on Facebook).
The total cost will be 79*24= $1896. After deducting gift card value, monthly pay is less than my previous NBN cost.

    Problem is that the contract is 24 months. 59 a month with 500 voucher for 12 months was the benchmark.

    • coxymla on 29/03/2022 - 11:09

      How long is it still the benchmark for if it hasn't been offered in over a year?

      • AwesomeAndrew on 29/03/2022 - 13:49

        Last time it was offered was December 26 2021 (about 3 months ago) https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/673656
        You need to contact customer service to get $10 a month extra credit, making it $59 a month for 12 months.

          That was a One day only deal (which I would argue you can't claim it as a benchmark especially since you have to be ported out for 30 days) and the $10 per month credit is not a sure thing.

          • Lois Price on 29/03/2022 - 15:22

            @coxymla: It was also offered in Oct/Nov 2021 (can’t remember exactly) which is when I signed up.

            Anyway, benchmark smenchmark. The only bench I am concerned about is my press.

        Iirc it was 80GB per month for the duration of the 12 months contract.

        • prhino on 29/03/2022 - 13:46

          You remember it correctly. I was on that deal, and used the gift card a year later to buy a new phone.

          • ChickenAdobo on 29/03/2022 - 22:49

            @prhino: It was a good deal. Even after immediate cancellation you still profit as the termination cost was cheaper than the voucher.

    • Italkdigital on 30/03/2022 - 16:21

      If one only cares about the plan,.. this could work out to $17.33 per month if 2x factors are possible, 1x selling the S22 for $1000 (my latest I managed $950) and 2x this $20 port-in to Telstra (someone posted below) and not sure who offers this yet? either Jbhifi or Telstra . so anyone have any details about the port-in offer, well certainly love to know the detalis, cheers 👍

      (Edit: And those Samsung buds2 (I think included) must be worth $100 divide by 24 months another $4.17 off per month)

    that's a good deal

  • ThatsCheap on 29/03/2022 - 03:30

    Can I pay the difference and get the S22 Plus, or the Ultra? Instead of paying $0 and getting this plan.

    • Spending2Much on 29/03/2022 - 03:50

      I don't know, but I did read the post…

      (You can also upgrade to S22 higher-spec by paying the gap).
      Quote/unquote

      So seems you can

      • ThatsCheap on 29/03/2022 - 03:55
        +1

        Yeah, thanks I saw that just now. Assuming they count the S22 as $1249 (which is what they sell it for), not as $800. Otherwise not worth it for the upgrade cost.

    • tenoclockfindu on 29/03/2022 - 09:49

      You can, I did the same during preorder (upgraded to S22 ultra and paid the difference)

  • ThatsCheap on 29/03/2022 - 04:31
    +1

    (You can also upgrade to S22 higher-spec by paying the gap)

    If this is true, and assuming they count the S22 as $1249 —> Then this is a better deal than the regular $1000 credit + $99 per month for 2 years.

    Unless IF when you want to upgrade to high-spec S22's like the Plus or Ultra, they only count the $800 credit, then it's just similar.

    • yasminew9 on 29/03/2022 - 13:31

      They do, and $1250 off any Samsung s22 basically. I just checked in store

      • ThatsCheap on 29/03/2022 - 14:38

        Niiiice, thanks for the update. Deal running until April 3, I'm going to wait and see if there's any easter specials that might come and drop prices more.

  • Saver Scott on 29/03/2022 - 05:38
    +4

    I get this will suit some people but for those on lower cost plans who aren’t locked in to a contract like me, if I was to move from amaysim where I get all the calls and data I need and more, this deal would cost me an extra $1245 over two years, minus the $800 voucher. I’d be out of pocket $445 and stuck with Telstra for two years. So it’s no deal.

    • keejoonc on 29/03/2022 - 09:43

      Amaysim is garbage though. Can't wait for my 12 months plan to run out so I can move back to Boost. Terrible reception, no conference call, automated calls from overseas banks don't work.
      Never again.

      • vr4indian on 29/03/2022 - 12:29

        I canceled my service when I realised that there are no conference call on Amaysim. When contacted they said its a feature in pending list since many years:)

        It's amazing how people just look at the 'price'. Much like insurance for example. Then they realise they can never claim because the policy wasn't worth the paper its written on.

  • mooreshady on 29/03/2022 - 06:11

    With inflation nowadays, this should only be 12 months contract. Not too much of an ask?

    • mattman on 29/03/2022 - 10:25

      Yeah a s22 and a year of Telstra service for hundreds less than the retail price of the phone? Nah should be sweet bro.

    • freefall101 on 29/03/2022 - 16:26

      Inflation is pushing things up, might be better with a fixed 24 month plan and bank the $1250 savings now.

      In 12 months a phone plan might cost $120 a month and a 12 month old phone $3k, if we see GPU and car style price rises in that sector.

    Has anyone tried getting this deal but only being away from Telstra for 19 days instead of the 30 they say you have to be to port back in?

    They reckon you don't get the gift card if you've only been ported a way from Telstra for less than 30 days.

    Anyone have any experience with this ?

    • mouski on 29/03/2022 - 07:17

      Correct, needs to be 30 days for the GC.

      • retainer on 29/03/2022 - 07:39

        What if I want the phone not the GC?

        • WaffleCrusader on 29/03/2022 - 10:17

          Any bonus JB offers is based on you being a new Telstra customer whether that be a GC or the credit towards the phone.

      • retainer on 29/03/2022 - 09:57

        Yeh, could do that but I've ported out to Optus now, so would have to port back in to prepaid. Not sure if they can do that with prepaid to postpaid though?

          I did what vietjesus did, although it was a massive pain for me. When changing the new service to my old number, the transfer failed and they effectively "lost" my old phone number for a few weeks. Took multiple levels of escalations to get it sorted.

    • Techie4066 on 29/03/2022 - 09:10
      +3

      Not in my experience. I'm a heavy user and have all of the battery saving options off so that my apps aren't put to sleep by the aggressive algorithm. I have 120Hz off and am getting minimum 7 hours screen time every single day. That is similar to what you'd get from a 13 Pro.

    • Alienzzz on 29/03/2022 - 12:23

      I got s20 4g so 2 yr old model and it has a bigger battery capacity and most things are barely upgraded when compared to s22

        Exynos efficiency was still dogshit at that stage.

    • cystatin on 29/03/2022 - 15:27

      Did a bit of my own research.. averaging relative battery lives of S22, S22 ultra, iPhone 13, S21, Zenfone 8, across GSMarena, DXO, PCmag, Android central, and two drain tests I can find on youtube, the S22 battery life is 79% that of S21.

      I.e. When you reach 'critical' 5% battery level on the S22, with the same use, you still have 25% left on the S21.

      Despite this amazing deal, I think I will go for the S21.

      Case in point, you can see how terribly the S22 performs in basic tasks like playing music, if you look at the Typical Usage curve and Estimated autonomy graph for Music (both of which are important for my use). https://www.dxomark.com/samsung-galaxy-s22-exynos-battery-te…

      • Techie4066 on 30/03/2022 - 20:39

        GSMarena

        In that case you're comparing Exynos to Exynos.
        Efficiency is now better since Aus market has gone Exynos to Snapdragon. I'm never getting under 7 hours screen time web browsing and streaming with all battery saving off, and screen on 60Hz (still very smooth).

    • nsonha on 09/05/2022 - 13:17

      I say stay away from ridiculous sized phones which sadly have become a norm these days. Everyone looks like a borg with them. If my phone lasts until 8pm and give me back my life every night, it's actually a good thing. The s22 is one of a few gem that has the proper size for human hand. I'm using s10e in 2022 for the same reason.

  • atlinus on 29/03/2022 - 07:43

    They used to have the s21 5g+ for 99/month last yr with 12 months contract.

  • Tuttle on 29/03/2022 - 07:48

    Reckon previous deal last week was better, $69 12 month plan, and S22 for $499.
    Signed up, sold phone on fb marketplace straight away for $950, so brings down the monthly "cost" to $31.50.

    Not quite as good as last years which had the $10 credit also (and $500 GC that could also be off loaded for ~$450) but not far off it.

      • WaffleCrusader on 29/03/2022 - 10:24

        If you were with Telstra prepaid then it’s fine as they delete some backend details as soon as you port out. If you were on postpaid with Telstra before then the JB employee will get written up amongst other things.

    • chet on 29/03/2022 - 14:24

      I was with the JB Hi-Fi "Telstra" plan about 1 year ago and it didn't include 5G. Haven't read the Ts and Cs about this deal, but if it doesn't include this, then you'll be getting 4G.

      I didn't have many issues with it when I was on a JB plan using 4G with an iPhone 11 Pro and a 13 Pro Max, but I wanted the 5G functionality so I swapped to Telstra direct.

      EDIT: The $49 JB plans don't have 5G while the other $69-$99 plans do. Here's my Telstra 5G speeds on a 13 Pro Max indoors and quite far from the speedtest server.

      • Italkdigital on 31/03/2022 - 03:53

        Just get on Telstra chat and give them some sob story I just bought a 5G phone and i need 5G turned on on my simcard, best get on chat like 3am in the morning, hopefully you'll chat to someone that has no idea and just switches 5G on for you, And always state that this was told to me would be 5G

        Edit: I have a data prepaid simcard which I think should be 4G only (speeds were over 200Mbps on 4G so i didnt care, plus 5G came into me area maybe 8 months into my plan anyway) though 10 months into use of this prepaid plan I asked Telstra chat if this should be 5G and few chat agents said yes, so eventually one of them supposedly fixed by my simcard by switching on 5G, yupz got 5G going

        So I started complaining why didn't I have 4G for 10 months, I did have too complain few times complaining I should be compensated, anyway eventually they gave me a bonus 50gb of data but the most important thing was it extended my prepaid plan for another 12 months

        PS: you could spends hours chatting to them though

      You'll be on the full telstra network (that includes 5g). All you're doing is getting on telstra via Jb Hifi.
      Infact you actually are signed up on the telstra website.

    Still don't think this is a deal worthy to sign up to

    Anyone tried to get a S22+ and what was the price gap?

    • Sertacv2 on 29/03/2022 - 20:43

      Early this month i jumped on the $99 plan and i paid $399 extra for the s22+ 256gb model. $299 if u just get the 128gb

      It is $300 gap. If you're getting the phone deal it is a $1249 gift hard that goes towards the phone.

    Currently using Optus 4G Home Broadband. Would I be able to get this and just replace the Sim card in the modem to use as home internet?

    Also, does anyone know if this deal can be used for new numbers or just port-ins?
    Thanks!

      I am doing this for last few years . My data usage is low and works for me. You got to check what model is your option device

      I think a new number is fine, which they suggested yesterday. Might just pop over or give your local JBHIFI a call

    I've just been into store. $1250 off any Samsung device basically. Wouldn't allow me to do it and keep my number though as I'm on Boost currently. So no deal unfortunately
