      You'll notice when charging the iPhone in your shoe it can warm your feet, whilst the vibrate feature in your back pocket gently massages your buttocks.

    I recently grabbed heaps of Belong $80 packs (about $20 each on Gumtree, eBay, etc). You can activate one for main mobile for $25 at first then change to $15/m aka 4 month worth of mobile plan (unlimited call and txt) + activate another pack as mobile data (currently max 500GB for $70, still have $10 credit left which is useless anyway as you mainly want that 500GB to gift to your mobile, you can then cancel the data plan to avoid seconf month charge. But from 17th Oct will come down to just 400GB instead of 500GB).

    So, with just $40, you have 4 month worth of Telstra 5G with bit over 500GB of data aka $10/month :) - no lock in with contract too ^_^

    • shegeloaf on 10/09/2022 - 11:54

      I like your wisdom. Let me see if I got this right:

      1. I activate one for calls say $25p.m (will it expire after 28days like the other telecompanies?)

      2 I activate a data pack 500gb. Xan the data pack be added to my first call plan so I only use 1 sim?

      • webtherapist on 10/09/2022 - 11:57
        +1

        basically yes :), decided to scrap contracted plans and go with this trick, very happy with cheap Telstra 5G at about $10/month lol

        yes, you will use one mobile sim as your main and you don’t need the data sim at all, all would be done in Belong app :)

        • cheekymonkey97 on 10/09/2022 - 12:17

          Thanks Mr Rapist!

    • Replicant on 10/09/2022 - 13:01

      5G is only on the data sim, so the sim in your phone will only access the wholesale 4G network (so not full coverage).

    • childchance on 10/09/2022 - 19:48

      Only that it's not the whole Telstra network like Boost, but Belong's reception should work for most areas. I live in the Shire, Sydney and have limited reception.

  • dwarves on 10/09/2022 - 11:47

    JB has a somewhat similar deal except critically the $1200 isn’t cash, it’s gift cards. So the GG deal is far superior.

    • BargainsGrabber on 10/09/2022 - 11:53
      +1

      It’s actually the same deal-ish with TGG. They just advertised it as $1200 off RRP on iPhone 14, but if you scroll further down onto the page, the actual promotion is on the $99/m plan with $1200 gift card

    • wtfnodeal on 10/09/2022 - 11:59

      ? How is taking $1200 off any iPhone deal superior to $1200 gift card that let you choose other items you can buy?

      • dwarves on 10/09/2022 - 12:08
        -6

        LOL WUT

        uhhhhhh because if you just get the $1200 off the iPhone, you then have $1200 more that you can spend at any store in the entire world, rather than a $1200 gift card that is only useful at JB….? Is this really such a hard thing to understand? Is this real life?

        • shegeloaf on 10/09/2022 - 12:15

          You got this all wrong. Jb and gg offer their own gift cards that can only be used in their stores.

        • wtfnodeal on 10/09/2022 - 13:46

          LOL! That's the funniest thing I have ever heard. Say you have a total of $5,000 in your savings account, taking $1,200 off any iPhone deal is inferior to the $1,200 gift card deal as a gift card gives you an option to purchase almost anything at JB or even to sell it privately at a discount for real cash on a marketplace. If you have decided to use the $1,200 gift card on an iPhone then the end result is the same as taking $1,200 off any iPhone deal and you still have $5,000 in your savings account.

          • Eeples on 10/09/2022 - 16:48

            @wtfnodeal: Okay.

            So I have $5000 in my back account and decide to take the $1200 off deal so I pay about $1200. And so have $3800 in my bank, an iPhone, a plan, and no gift cards.

            But if I take the gift card offer I would pay about $2400 and so would have $2600 in my bank, an iPhone, a plan, and $1200 gift card I can only use at JB or sell for about $1150.

            Surely the GG option (1st paragraph) is better?
            Surely.

            • wtfnodeal on 10/09/2022 - 16:51

              @Eeples: Or you can use the $1200 gift card to partly pay for an iPhone and still have $3800 in your bank.
              If this hopeless logic thinking is the result of our education system I think we all are doomed.

              • Eeples on 10/09/2022 - 16:55

                @wtfnodeal: Yes, that’s the only way it’s the same.

                If you use the gift card to help buy the iPhone.

                • wtfnodeal on 10/09/2022 - 17:00

                  @Eeples: If you choose the gift card deal there are some other items you can use the gift card to purchase from JB. Given the flexibility available on how you use the $1200 if you choose the gift card deal I conclude that it is superior to the $1200 off iPhone deal.

                  • Eeples on 10/09/2022 - 18:54

                    @wtfnodeal: Surely having the $1200 in your bank account instead of a JB card is more flexible.

                    • wtfnodeal on 10/09/2022 - 19:06

          Not wherever, it is usually restricted to the country that the cash, which are notes and coins issued by that country unless you convert them into other currencies which again there are variables involved such as exchange rates, commissions etc.

          • AustriaBargain on 10/09/2022 - 14:16

            @wtfnodeal: Also probably important to note that if you time travelled back 100 years that even in Australia people would be unlikely to accept coins and banknotes that we use today.

            • wtfnodeal on 10/09/2022 - 14:31

              @AustriaBargain: I would rather bet my chances with Australian government’s efforts to maintain the value of notes and coins (as opposed to inflation rates) than the value of those gift card issued companies which may not even longer exist for you to redeem them. The gift cards are usually sold at discounted prices for a reason in case you haven’t noticed.

        You can get mobile services for $200 a year with a substantial amount of data. You're effectively overpaying theme a huge amount of money for the 'gift' of $1200 now.

        These types of 'offers' by Telstra are only to deceive the financially illiterate.

        • yummypinacolada on 13/09/2022 - 01:53

          You won't get 300GB data per month with $200 a year. Most people will not need that much data, but for some people 300gb can also be a replacement of home internet. I live by myself and I just use my 200gb data plan per month using mobile hotspot as my home internet. So this plan is perfect for me. Tell me if you have a better deal for my situation.

          • Fuego on 13/09/2022 - 08:52

            @yummypinacolada: You're right. For that specific use case this plan would have some benefit.

            But choosing to operate on a phone data plan limited to 300gb a month is losing out on all the functionality and purpose of an unhindered home internet.

            Then there's the question of why is someone spending $1,200+ on an iPhone rather than spending it on home internet.

            Essentially all this plan does is forego a home internet for a flashy phone. And that's at best case scenario.

    The actual deal is an extra $400 on your gift card. $800 on connection is their standard deal anyway. If you're getting an iphone, you get the discount on the phone which sweetens the deal because you don't have to spend more money at the Good Guys.

  • felixyong on 10/09/2022 - 14:46

    If you are on an expansive mobile plan then this deal help you to save.

    I’m using the Cole Mobile 120 for 12 month. This mean 240 for 24 mths compare to 24 x 99 = 2,376 - 1,200 = 1,176.

    Nothing to save comparing 240 vs 1,176.

  • tanastra on 10/09/2022 - 15:04

    Looking to pay iPhone 14 pro max 256 monthly.
    So , Jb hifi = $99 x 24 = $2376 + 2099 ( pro max 256 ) - $1200 = $3275 in total . Immediate out of pocket $99 per month + 899 (2099-1200) = $998 .
    With Credit line 0% free for 24 mths = $5 Mthly fee + 87.45 Mthly repayment = $92.45 + $25 boost mthly ( 240gb boost $300 ) =$117.45 x 24 mths = $2818 .
    Savings = $3275 - 2818 = $457 and 200gb vs 20gb per month data.

    I would love to go with the good guys deal but the thoughts of having to deal with dreadful Telstra customer service within 24 Months really put me off.

  • boredofficeworker on 10/09/2022 - 16:32

    I guess it depends on how you use your data, but for me 15-20gb for when I'm out and about is honestly overkill. I use wifi at home etc.

    Taking iPhone 14 Pro 256gb as an example, ($1899).
    Phone minus $1200 = $699
    24x$99 = $2376

    Total = $3075 or $128.16 per month.

    Personally, I'd just get it from Apple on 24 months interest free $1899 ($118.8 latitude account fees over the contract)
    or $2017.8 / $84.08 per month.
    Then grab a 240gb Boost 365 expiry (or whatever you prefer)
    I paid $225 for mine on special, which would be $450 total or $18.75 per month, giving me unlimited calls/text, international calls and 20gb per month over the same period.

    Total in this case would be $2467.8 or around $102.83 per month.

    If you're a heavy data user, I'd say $25.30 per month for an extra 280GB is pretty good. Just thought I'd throw the above out there for low data users, I'd personally rather save the $600 and use that in years that follow than hand it over to Telstra for data I wouldn't use.

    For anyone considering buying the iPhone with their AMEX card, for the free screen replacement insurance: using the gift card to pay for most of the phone's price may make you ineligible for the insurance.

    You only get the insurance if you purchase the phone with your AMEX, or if you pay for your phone plan with the AMEX. I haven't gone through the exact wording of the AMEX offer, but using the gift card arguably means you only partially paid for the phone with your AMEX.
