Tbf, JB is all in caps
Good deal compared to Telstra direct.
Not worth it.
Whats everyones experience in getting $X/month discount on the $49 plan?
I’m pretty convinced no further discount is possible on jb hifi/good guys plans. I was told telstra agents literally don’t have a way to apply monthly credit on these plans. They can only do it as a one-off.
12 MONTHS plan is nice
Currently with Telstra. What’s the best way to hop onto this deal without losing my mobile number?
Please note that these are Data-only plans (for tablets etc) - probably not suitable for porting your mobile (depends on what you do with it - could be a secondary data plan)
Ahh, totally missed that. Thanks for pointing that out. Was probably just overwhelmed with OP shouting at me ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I suppose, if this were a mobile phone plan, what would be the best recourse for porting out and back in again?
I’m currently on the $65 pm plan with Telstra and feel like I’m paying way too much. After a cheaper 5G compatible deal or happy to sign up with incentives (such as current one - if it were a mobile phone plan).
Cancel your current contract, port out your number to Optus/Vodafone for 30 days and after that time, port in back to Telstra.
@kazuyamishima: Is there a quicker way to do that or is 30 day wait the minimum amount of time to port back in? Hoping for another telstra port in/sign up incentive in the coming weeks.
@A female dog: That's the minimum, and it has to be with a different telco than Telstra.
The 4 times I've done these type of deals, they all checked If I had more than 30 days with another Telco before porting in.
P.D: I've read the plans, and yes, like someone mentioned above, these are mobile broadband plans and they are really bad.
no international call?
Well to be fair it won't have local calls aswell. It's a data plan.
lol..i thought is mobile phone plan.. thanks for pointing it out
Does Telstra still do 10 dollar port in discount via chat?
Please don't shout.
Ctrl + V the post. I don't normally
is esim available on these jb hifi telstra plans?
Yes
Can we get the additional e-sim to be used for Galaxy Watch 4 ?
DATA PLAN DATA PLAN DATA PLAN (no calls/texts people)
Great deal, providing you have an intended purchase to spend those short expiry gift cards on.
I thought so too but there appears to be an end date of 24 August 2022 for the gift card on the $49 plan…?
That's the expiry for getting the gift card, not using it.
used to be $69pm + $500 Gift Card (12 Month Plan)
These are Mobile Broadband plans.
ahh yes i see now. my bad
thanks for pointing it out
Aren’t phone plans more expensive usually since they include calls and texts on top of the data?!
I WAS EXCITED UNTIL I SAW IT WAS DATA PLAN ONLY
Interesting that JB Hifi don't list any 5G modems, like the Nighthawk M6 Pro, etc.
This is the worst deal so far this year
Network in title?
Calls and SMS are not included in the monthly fee and cost extra. in effect, it may cost a lot more, depending on your habits.
$28p/m after deducting the GC from the cost for 60gb P/m..
Could be good value if it included cellular services, but for $11 more P/m you can get 200gb and unlimited calls/SMS with Vodafone…not that I endorse their network, I have a lot of patchy service areas on my way to/from work
data plan… dammit got excited for nothing.
who buys data plans!!!!
Me. I have a work phone and all I want is data for emails and teams.
Calls done via Telegram, FaceTime etc.
Mobile Broadband plan, not a sim only.
Worth a look if double the data otherwise, pass
just in case if you are not aware, 5g home broadband doesn't support forwarding, so if you have any services at home that rely on port forwarding, it won't work
The 24m $69pm 200GB plan hardly seems like a deal given an extra $16pm will get you 400GB with no contract. You don't get the $500 gift card though.
I must be missing how this is value.. a measly 60GB for $49 wtaf? Approaching a buck a gig, wow.
A half decent 5G connection would burn that junk up in under 20 minutes.
Edit: also you can't try and justify it by deducting the GC to bring it down to 47c/GB because in reality you are still paying the full $49/pm. The GC is just you forced to buy something from JB that you probably wouldn't have otherwise bought.
I'm currently with Telstra - 400GB 5G mobile broadband with the M5 Netgear. I'm not sure what sort of broadband unit will come with this deal but it's likely an M2-
It's pretty decent- I still get the occasional dropouts, but I get to take it with me to uni and work
No modem at all. That's what makes the deal so poor.
You need more caps.
