      Thanks my guy. This was the only way I was able to get the option to purchase outright.

    • Bronica on 21/02/2024 - 18:09

      Hmm, so I tried this method and when I click Proceed to checkout it asks me to select or set up an account for this order. When I click Personal account and go Next I get an error saying 'Unable to process the order. You need a plan associated to your account to buy the device outright.'

      Anyone else getting this error and know how to get past it?

    confirmed by phone: as outright purchases - without any plan or membership/account - are available in-store, Officeworks and JB Hi-Fi will price-beat/match in-store, subject to staff verification, such as calling a Telstra store themselves - showing them the My Telstra app should also help, screenshots:

          I have price matched with jb hifi twice and officeworks only once. And I tell you whatever you think your heard from office works it was a lot harder to do then jb.

    • Funjolt on 20/02/2024 - 23:13

      I did call Officeworks and they said blunt NO as Telstra requires membership even though the deal is outright as Officeworks employees cannot access these prices without logging in.

      • tone212 on 20/02/2024 - 23:37

        I had the same experience calling OW customer support today, although my reason for NO is because you had to bundle the phone with a plan when purchasing online. But the above post is saying OW will do a price beat in store, that I haven't tried. Anyone had success doing an in-store price beat with OW?

  • theoneandonlylml on 20/02/2024 - 21:21

    Tried to pricematch at OW in Chatswood NSW, no luck. Went to buy a $2 Telstra sim and bought online from the telstra app.

    Maybe you guys will have better luck than I did. Oh well.

    • tonester on 21/02/2024 - 13:46

    Tossing up on the Apple Watch 9… Plan was to wait until the X, but price seems decent here, currently on an SE 1.

    Anyone who did a similar change and regretted it later?

    • try2bhelpful on 20/02/2024 - 22:58

      If you don’t need the SIM I would be waiting until the new one comes out and seeing what the price becomes.

        Yeah, I slept on it - decided I must HODL… Who knows what the Watch X will bring, but at the very least series 9 should get a little cheaper. Plus my SE 1 really doesn't have any problems.

  • Bii on 20/02/2024 - 22:26

    Is it the batch made in India or China? 20% off highest discount in the Apple phone history so far? Assuming the labour is cheaper in India and the fall in sale in China, this deal is to justify maybe.

    Hello All,

    Those who have already purchased, does telstra provide invoice with gst details as well on purchase? I’m travelling overseas next month so can claim the GST

    Thanks in advance

    • syswong on 21/02/2024 - 15:45

      Word of warning, some claim that they now tag passports that has done TRS (totally possible). SO there is a chance on your return they will flip your luggage inside out to see if you bring the phone back.

      You will need two person duty free allowance to bring the phone back in Australia tax free.

      • SunnyinDubai on 21/02/2024 - 15:47

        Is this hearsay or has someone you know actually experienced it…I am curious…it seems plausible but I am not sure if they are actually doing it?

        • syswong on 21/02/2024 - 18:19

          From OZB comments, saw it mentioned in s few occasion. I have not done TRS for a long time….

          Just clarify, I think its not tag your passport but the TRS (high value) will trigger a flag for customs to check, which is dead easy.

          My wife also mentioned when she purchase a Chanel bag for friend in China, she was asked on the way back if she has any high value item that need to declare. She said no and they send here bag to X Ray.

          • prankster on 21/02/2024 - 18:36

            @syswong: I don’t think they would be bothered monitoring this … plus when you go back into Sydney airport, you just collect your luggage and then if on the paper customs form declared no to everything then you go through, it’s only if by chance/random you get told to go through customs X-ray. They have so many people coming through you think they would be bothered people bringing back iPhones they declared departing Australia ?

          • SunnyinDubai on 21/02/2024 - 19:07

            @syswong: How much was the bag? I know there was a case on the show Border Security where a lady claimed GST on diamond earrings and they searched her bags to see if she brought them back in…she almost got away with it - until she pushed her hair back behind her ears and they say her wearing the earrings :-P

            • try2bhelpful on 21/02/2024 - 19:09

              @SunnyinDubai: Why do these people consent to being on the show?

              • SunnyinDubai on 21/02/2024 - 19:15

                @try2bhelpful: I honestly have not idea but I wonder - do they have a choice? I have seen some where their faces are blurred out so I do wonder if they don't have a choice but could be wrong…

                • try2bhelpful on 21/02/2024 - 19:25

                  @SunnyinDubai: I think they are asked for permission but I find it hard to believe some people would OK it. Maybe if you are deported you lose your rights in Australia?

                  It is interesting with the blurred faces. We watch the “24 hours in Emergency” program from the UK and there are staff with blurred faces. I wonder if they didn’t get explicit permission to show them.

                  • SunnyinDubai on 21/02/2024 - 19:31

                    @try2bhelpful: True but until we find someone who has been on it - we will have to keep wondering…

                    I think with the 24 hours, I saw a doc where they showed how many cameras were put there for the filming so maybe it was a case of well we have no way to ask people not to be a part of whatever is happening and also it is probably unethical for them to tell someone to stop performing a medical procedure for a show…

                    • try2bhelpful on 22/02/2024 - 00:04

                      @SunnyinDubai: Probably not possible to chase up everyone to get permission. That show needs a “look away now” warning. I hate the fake reality programs but I am a tad addicted to the documentary ones. You don’t need to manufacture drama when you are dealing with real stuff.

            • syswong on 21/02/2024 - 19:40

              @SunnyinDubai: no idea, it is actually purchase request from her friend and lucky she is not into these kind of stuff.

              Yes I read the diamond ring story…..🤣🤣

      • tonester on 21/02/2024 - 18:01

        You will need two person duty free allowance to bring the phone back in Australia tax free.

        fyi if ABF don't have a record of the serial number, then someone else is more likely to be ok by themselves than the TRS claimant alone

        • syswong on 21/02/2024 - 18:43

        Have u seen the queue at Melbourne airport lately? They don’t even have room for checking your luggage for food. Unless they want to be holding up ppl for even longer. Just to save custom up to $200 in gst?

  • Rmathur92 on 21/02/2024 - 16:18

    They got bigger things to do then to fight over 100$ gst, and anyways I won’t be getting it back, but neither experienced nor heard about it in last 10 years of travelling.

    • SunnyinDubai on 21/02/2024 - 19:05
      +2

      Well to be fair, they changed the rules during COVID where we could not claim the GST and then changed it again with the new requirement that you are meant to declare the items if they are brought back into the country though it has been a bit of a mixed message as we were told in Dec that if we exceeded our tax free threshold, we needed to declare the items if brought back in which was not quite what I understood things to be…

      • tonester on 22/02/2024 - 12:20
        +1

        TRS-claimed items have always been required to be declared if brought back into the country

        • SunnyinDubai on 22/02/2024 - 12:27

          As far as I am aware, it was not explicitly stated but it is now explicitly stated…of course if you exceeded the threshold, then of course you had to declare all items, including anything for which you claimed TRS for…

  • niroshbest on 21/02/2024 - 20:32

    Ok guys.
    After reviewing the entire comment section, it seems that nobody has provided a clear solution to the questions posed. Here are the questions:

    1. Can I create a Telstra account without their phone number?

    2. Has anyone bought from Apple with a 10% discount, which amounts to $210 off? Not bad. I attempted to do this, and the representative on the phone instructed me to send a screenshot of the page displaying the offer, including the iphone I wish to purchase, so they can perform a price match(10%). Unfortunately, I do not have a Telstra login, so I cannot replicate the offer.

    3. If you want to buy outright from Telstra, can I buy a $2 SIM card and add a $10 recharge, then create an account and make the purchase?

    Thanks

      1. You cannot create a Telstra MyiD without their phone/account number
      2. If you check, couple of comments up from this one, someone posted the screenshot for the discounted price, can use that for apple maybe.
      3. Yes you can do that, someone did it and mentioned it in the comments. Alternatively, you can go to a telstra store and buy it outright instore without a telstra account

      It is.
      Apple is trying to get people who have old phones and watches upgrade to newer gen as there are far too many really old apple phone and 3g apple watches still on market. There probably won't be another sell according to a friend who is an apple rep.

      • prankster on 21/02/2024 - 23:11

        I’m sure Apple don’t have to do anything, old iPhones eventually will just become slower and then it annoys the owner then eventually they are forced to by new phones plus also due to apps that support latest versions of iOS and they starting not to support old iOS versions etc

        Nice your friend gave you some insight, I have a good mate that works at Apple and I try to get some info from him but his all NDA on me, fk I’m not asking for the blueprint of the iPhone just give me some idea if I should update my iPhone 11 Pro to iPhone 15 or should I wait till iPhone 16 gosh lol

        • avseqcfc on 21/02/2024 - 23:17

          Just my guess that 15 series will get the AI stuffs which will be released W 16 that's why they are pushing with this month long sale so more older phones are upgraded to 15's. It's all hush hush but something is happening ( some announcements, nothing major) within next couple of weeks. Also with the sale price right now , go for the upgrade as resale value won't be bad if you have to next year.

          • prankster on 22/02/2024 - 00:14

            @avseqcfc: True but if I got the iPhone 15 now, unless something way better happens in iPhone 16 then I’d prob just stick with iPhone 15 then, yes I could resale if I wanted badly to move to iPhone 16. Anyhow let’s see how it goes 😅 I’m still trying to see how to get OW to match this Telstra price lol

            Main other upgrades are for:
            1. Camera
            2. Running out of 64GB storage (lol)

        100% speculation follows, but I wonder if maybe a new SE is coming this year.. The 2022 model came out 18th March, and this deal ends on 19th March which is a nice coincidence. I was discussing my options a month ago with staff at another mobile provider, who told me they can no-longer order in the SE and it was only stock-on-hand they were selling, which I found a little suspicious and just assumed they were mistaken or it was a management decision.

        Anyway, I'm really tempted to get an iPhone 15 because of this deal, rather than wait and see what happens in the next year.

    I went to a few Officeworks and JB stores in the eastern suburbs of VIC, but none of them of them were willing to price match this deal. I showed them my web chat log with a Telstra sales rep stating that you can purchase outright with in-store without an existing Telstra ID, but they tried to talk their way around it, saying that the rep could be misinformed, or that Telstra would somehow force you to sign up for a plan after you join ._.

    I also tried price beat/matching Skytree as suggested by this thread: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/831915, but they were unwilling because it's not clear whether they sell Australian stock.

    The best OW were willing to do was price beat Costco's current price ($1,799 x 0.95 = $1709.05 for iPhone 15 Pro).

      sorry to hear, but unfortunately a web chat isn't sufficient for price-matching - did you show the My Telstra app (or screenshots), and ask them to call Telstra (store) to verify?

        I tried at my local OW yesterday and was denied too. They said they need to be able to locate the price themselves online and do not do price beats based on calling a store and verifying the price that way. And I think you need to be a Telstra customer to access the outright purchase option online, which is another reason they'll deny it as the deal needs to be available to everyone.

        I can try the screenshot method, but do you have one for the Pro Max 256GB?
