      I’m with Telstra too but cannot find any info regarding port out/in with their 30 days port out period. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I should be able to port out and get back in the very next day?!

    I have a contract woth Optus for my kid. About a year old on a 2y contract. Assuming I can pay it off and port my his number but Assuming I first have to apply to Telstra or is it just walk in and buy and go?

    FYI for everyone. I've been on Telstra previously, purchased an Optus Pre-paid sim, ported within 10 minutes, gone into JB then signed up to this plan and ported back in 5 mins.

        They've never checked mine. Just say you want to port. If they ask, say it's been 30 days…

      Usually 30 days. Although this commenter has had a different experience, however not been the case by many based on previous posts.

  • dK69 on 23/12/2024 - 11:12

    The gift card offer ends on 27/12 and I believe most of the comments would be for the cancellation fee which is around $800!

    Go in - get 3 sims (buy 3 aldi sims for $5) - cancel next day calling telstra, moan a bit and they will give youback first 1 month fee and maybe even discount the voucher repayment.

    • abe465 on 23/12/2024 - 12:21

      Can you port-in a new ALDI number from the $5 sim to JB?

              @Jemz: Done in the past - not an issue then. They care about direct contracts, just cant be a Telstra customer. Aldi,Woolies, catch etc many others can be tried.
              Cancel/cry to telstra (dont do it on JBHIFI app) and you may walk away with more than the first month charges and cancellation charges. (Mileage will vary).

                Did you buy $5 sim, put in phone and activate, then go to jb and sign up to plan and reference the newly bought $5 sim.

                Just want to check steps before I do 3x

      If a telco offers you to break the contract where you’ve to pay the ETC, how’s that against the Criminal Code of imprisonment?

      You can cancel it though, they dont charge you for the 2 years, they only charge you for the first month and upto $800 for the voucher, and like others have said, if you complain about it to telstra, they even cancel the first month payment sometimes

    • krisspy on 23/12/2024 - 18:24

      Done this over 4 times and only paid $766 termination fee each… but (profanity) me right?

    • p1 ama on 23/12/2024 - 19:39

      Alternatively you can get a Felix unlimited data plan for $40 a month on Telstra and save the $1200 to spend on whatever you want.

      This is a joke, right?

      Felix have significantly worse coverage than Telstra, as an MVNO, and their "unlimited" plan only allows for speeds of up to 20 Mbps, whereas I regularly get around 130 Mbps on this plan.

    • dm02 on 29/12/2024 - 15:41
      +1

      I'm quite impressed with how you've managed to be wrong on every single point.

      • It is a bargain; the equivalent plan with Telstra direct is $99.00/month (plus $10.00 discount making it $89.00/month, same as this deal, but without a gift card).
      • If you cancel, you do not need to pay the remainder of the plan itself; you only need to pay the Voucher Repayment Fee, which will be $766-ish if you cancel within the first month. Assuming you cancel in the first month, this means you paid about $855.00 for a $1200.00 JB Gift Card.
      • No one in this post has even mentioned anything about cancelling the plan claiming it on tax, so I'm not sure what you're on about. I think it's pretty clear that the Voucher Repayment Fee can't be claimed on tax. I note that you've copy+pasted direct from the CDPP website as well.
      • Felix Mobile uses the Vodafone network, not Telstra.
      • BargainsGrabber on 06/01/2025 - 08:06

        They have done it again in this comment

        I’ve corrected them as well but still persisting that I’m making invalid points

      • GreenRomeo on 06/01/2025 - 08:59

        Why couldn’t repayment fee be claimed for tax? It’s still an expense isn’t it?

  • nijatk on 23/12/2024 - 11:25

    Yes it seems the Definition of Voucher and Voucher Repayment Fee are different. Hence the voucher is boosted to $1,200 but the repayment is max $800 (less pro-rata for the first month and then roll the dice if they refund the first month’s plan fee).

    • abe465 on 23/12/2024 - 12:18

      Buy the plan, cancel it and pay only $766. End up with a $1200 gift. Money glitch

      • cheap4321 on 23/12/2024 - 22:04

    Is this same as previous deals where you purchase plan and cancel immediately and you’ll only have to pay $800 to cancel the plan and get to keep the $1,200 gift card ?

          I got the first month fee waived, then had to pay the GC value 765$.
          tried it via telstra

          next time i did via JBHIF app and they didnt refund the 1st month fee.

          Mate of mine signed up 6 (3 for each him and his partner) and had the 1s month fee waived (he said cooling period) and then made some drama about the repayment voucher and they made him pay 600 instead of 765.

          your mileage will vary depending on who is your agent - definetly do not go via jbhifi app. call up telstra and do it from there..

          • jecec on 24/12/2024 - 09:44

            @ffagz: Wonder why you got down voted?!

            If its because of the lower than $800 charge, that i can vouch that i also got a discpunt when i made some noise about it.

              @jecec: No idea. The world’s full of sicko losers.
              Btw my mate even got better returns. When telstra did the auto debit on his credit card for his 2 lines his bank blocked the transactions for fraudulent ones. He called hip made a fuss and telstra waived off those credit repayments. So for his 6x lines = 7200 he only paid 2500$. His case is ofcourse extreme and unusual but it can be done.
              He called me up today and was quite stoked.

      No, they changed their rules. It’s not hard to get a new number - pop into Aldi’s and get a prepaid $5 SIM card and away you go.

      The rules exist and noting stops you taking advantage of those rules. If they didn’t want cancellations they can easily put full voucher repayments

  • savingmoney on 23/12/2024 - 11:43

    How quick does port ins usually take? Will they give you the gift card and all prior to that happening or do you have to wait for the port in to complete?

        Interesting… so if someone accidentally gave incorrect porting details, they would collect the GC and the service wouldn't get activated.

        • ffagz on 24/12/2024 - 17:15

          No, they have to receive a code on the existing number before it’s allowed to port out. Thats for safety and random people just stealing your number. Keep in mind they don’t check for you as the owner of the existing number other than the sms that gets sent so you physically have to have that sim card with you.

    • dm02 on 29/12/2024 - 15:44

      They wait for the activation order (including porting) to be completed before issuing the gift card. For me, it took about 5-10 minutes for the port to complete from Amaysim to Telstra.

  • Silentninja7 on 23/12/2024 - 11:52

    Do you still have to be ported out for 30 days or has it changed? I read the CIS and terms conditions and dont see it written, can anyone comfirm if they removed thie?
