    If it has the same fingerprint sensor as the 7 forget it.

      It does in fact have the same, at the very least still an optical sensor

              @cacique: Lol. Not surprising.

              I didn't ruin it. I haven't signed up yet. If I do I'll be keeping the plan anyway :)

              Everyone should have waited until the phone was actually released before cancelling. I guess they didn't want to pay that 1 week of prorated phone plan even though they were getting a ridiculously cheap phone

              HN staff will say anything though, does this mean Optus have changed the CIS?

              The deal on the HN page is still linking to https://hndgwww2.blob.core.windows.net/hnau/gift_card_voice_…

                @chromium: I don't see why HN would have an issue - Their part is just providing the phone side of the deal, they would not have any influence over Optus T&C.

                I can't see Optus changing their T&Cs just for this deal (especially as they ran it last year and let it run the same this year).

                The only issue here would be a disgruntled manager not liking what he sees. In this case, as @Whatisthatvelvet suggests, try a different store.

                  I might go to HN and suss it out, I probably want to keep the plan anyway. It's still a pretty good deal

  • regenade on 06/10/2023 - 13:45

    STOP ASKING HN store people about cancellation and cost of terminating the contract. The sales rep commissions might be clawed back, so they will say whatever to save them from not making a dime from the sale of the phone to you.

    Last year 000s of people got the Pixel 7 Pro on the same deal along with a $150GC on launch day , if you dont understand what you are doing and never signed up a mobile contract in your life and have no credit history, this deal is not for you. This year its more enticing because the phone is now $1699 and not $1299. last year after google store coupons, discounts and google one credit the phone was $850 or so anyway and $828 using optus, so there was no rat race of Ozbargainers trying to make a quick buck. Don't ruin it for everyone as you haven't got the phone yet and don't want this offer to be pulled by HN

      I find it hard to believe they didn't think this through and realise people were going to cancel the plan to get the phone at almost half price. Unless they were aware and it was a price they were willing to pay to get more people signed up to Optus.

        They are 100% aware of this, in fact it has happened numerous times in the past. They didn't care enough then to modify the contract then but now phone value is $1699. This could be where they draw the line.

            @hardcoreshilling: exactly, I feel like goole is reimbursing HN a bit in this deal. 1699 RRP is outrageous. Just think about it. Last year p7p was 828 + 150HN. This year google increased the price so absurdly (should have been 150 max increase not 400) for little changes - same FP sensor, same main camera and zoom camera sensor. All the gimmicky things that they had in launch event are software based. Now that they have increased the price to 1700, people think wow a new device at 50% + off, that's a great deal. But they forget what they are getting compared to last year, which is similar phone with some tweaks and they don't have to provide a 150HN gift card as well. I am one of these people and still bought it because I think I can sell my p6p for 650ish. and 200 for a device which u use daily for many hours is worth it.

  • Daddy Chill on 06/10/2023 - 15:07

    The staff have another scam going or Harvey Norman. So you pay for the extended warranty and before it expires you send the phone off for an assessment and they give you a replacement phone or credit for a replacement phone. So the salesman was telling me he gets the iPhone and discounted extended replacement warranty then they give him credit for the phone whatever was the amount or a couple hundred lower then he buys a new phone with that. He says Harvey Norman doesn't pay for the phone. They make money on the extended warranty and the guys that assess the phone refurbish them and sell them to poorer countries. So Gerry bends over everyone

      "Harvey Norman doesn't pay for the phone".

      What on earth?

      I have no love for Gerry but you don't have this right at all.

      Gerry isnt making money selling extended warranty to staff at cost.

      The extended warranty people are not going to just accept your phone as faulty for no reason. It's money out of their pocket if they do.

      • Daddy Chill on 06/10/2023 - 15:37

        What I'm saying it apparently 90% of the time they will give you credit. Staff get discounts it's not only for them. Extended warranty don't lose, Gerry don't lose just the consumer

      • Daddy Chill on 06/10/2023 - 15:42
        +1

        Extended warranty don't fix phones. They take your phone refurbish it and sell it to others so they make money. You get credit for a new phone and most of the time you pay more on top and Gerry don't lose cause he gets money for selling extended warranty which is about $260 on a $1600 phone

        • Duff5000 on 06/10/2023 - 16:15

          Its like you think there is some magical money making idea going on here.

          "Extended warranty don't fix phones. They take your phone refurbish it and sell it to others so they make money."

          They don't just accept you phone as a warranty just because you want to return it. They don't make money on customers that actually put in a claim. They make roughly 10% of the sale price of the warranty. About $30 in your example.

          "Gerry don't lose just the consumer"

          How on earth does the consumer lose in this?

          Also, you said this was staff. That staff member got it at cost so the store isn't winning either.

          Before you keep going with this: I used to work there, i used to sell extended warranties. I worked handling the returns to the extended warranty company.

          Don't buy extended warranties, they are almost pointless in Australia.

              @Daddy Chill: I'd advise washing those oily hands clean as you don't want to drop your new toy, unless you're planning to get an extended warranty 😉

              Jokes aside, I don't bother with extended warranties. Got it once on a washing machine and technically they fulfilled their side of the agreement when said machine died, but the time wasted on several phone calls, and then being without a machine for weeks left me wondering what the point was, so that was my one and only time buying an extended warranty. (I now own a quality German Bosch washing machine, it should outlive me)

    I got a similar deal with the S23 earlier this year when it launched. Signed up, received phone same day and also cancelled plan same day.

    Reckon I'd have any trouble doing the same again for this deal?

    Credit is fine, just more to do with the fact I did something similar less than a year ago.

    • Borg on 06/10/2023 - 15:31

      Call the Telco and ask :-)

      I don't see why it would be a big deal. As far as they (the Telco) is concerned, you are doing everything that is asked of you i.e. paying the "buy out" cost. Nothing illegal or dodgy about doing this. You got a good deal on a phone but prefer to pay it out. Asking for the initial months fee back might be harder as that requires management auth.

      • BW296 on 06/10/2023 - 15:53

          • CodeXD on 07/10/2023 - 14:29

            @xdigger: If you're gonna pay $828 for it, may as well be for a phone with RRP of $1699. S23 RRP is $1199 I believe?

  • Mr Joker on 06/10/2023 - 15:35

    Sounds like a great deal i just had a few questions:

    1. This will affect your credit score if you were to go with this plan? (And not if you cancel the plan)?
    2. Can you pay the penalty fee via HN gift cards?

    tyty :)

    • CodeXD on 06/10/2023 - 15:41
      +4
      1. The credit check is done at the time of signing up - whether you choose to stay with the plan or cancel is irrelevant to credit check.
      2. No, the penalty fee is to Optus. Much like you cannot pay ATO with iTunes gift cards.
      • Click_It on 06/10/2023 - 17:41

          Sorry, should really have elaborated :)
          *Normal, depending on the salesperson.

          The store will have the OP's order in the system/s. HN will just attach device IMEI to the order when they pick up the device and provide it (relevant docs) then.

          Was a brand rep for few years. Visited HN stores during device launches and that's how many of them do it.

          OP, if you prefer you can of course request the 2nd copy before then.

          Thought you'd "be real and just let them know"? Geezus, ban yourself from all future OzB deals please.

      TBH, it something i would've done anyway to secure the phone before canceling.

    My local Harvey's had a $99 plan for Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel Watch 2…. salesperson said payout for cancellation was $1188

    • vietjesus on 06/10/2023 - 17:23

      Not Bad considering the watch is $649?

      • mister_snrub on 07/10/2023 - 15:54

        I believe it is for the Wi-Fi only version, so a retail price of $549.

      Depends if you want the watch

      1188 - 828 = $360

      • kuls on 06/10/2023 - 18:21

        Difference is $260 as it's Pixel 8 Pro 256GB

        • mister_snrub on 07/10/2023 - 15:51

          I was also offered this in Joyce Mayne and the offer on the screen was for the 128 GB model.

          • kuls on 07/10/2023 - 16:18

            @mister_snrub: I was told it's 256GB model. I didn't take that offer so maybe I heard it wrong or the rep gave the incorrect info.

    • chromium on 06/10/2023 - 17:24

      Not a great deal if you plan on keeping the plan. $720 extra for a $649 watch, presuming it's the LTE one

    • xdigger on 06/10/2023 - 19:36

      Upvoted for a wish they do a cheaper deal on just the Pixel 8…

    • Bre77 on 06/10/2023 - 19:37

      I was also offered this but wanted to keep the plan so declined. If you were cancelling it would have been a decent deal to get the watch for $360 more.

    • Freddies on 07/10/2023 - 21:19

      What are the models of both phone and watch please?
      128+LTE?

  • Sambuca on 06/10/2023 - 17:31

    Probably a very broad and hard to answer question, but what is Optus network like these days? I'm with Vodafone at the moment and have been for the last decade, bar a 2 year stint in there with Telstra.

    Just looking at their coverage map of Melbourne, it seems they aren't as advanced as Vodafone or Telstra with 5G.

    This deal is very tempting and I'd probably stay with Optus to get the P8P for free on that plan, just worried I'll have crap reception.
