        Thanks

      • deskii on 13/02/2025 - 19:47

        does it show GST?

  • jes on 12/02/2025 - 09:14

    Im having issues,

    I joined 2,

    First the payout is $549 and no monthly charge yet until a couple days and the 2nd is $526 and they took $79 immediately and is cleared not pending.

    Two chat sessions refused to just charge $526 for both and refund the $79.

    Should I just accept the charges and try to have a separate chat session request to refund the $79, or this is a bad idea and should try more times to negotiate the all at once?

    • CodeXD on 12/02/2025 - 09:30

      Logically the reduced fee of $526 is because you've paid the $79. So because you hadn't paid for one of them, that cancellation fee is $549 according to the contract.

      Cut your losses, $549 for S25 512gb is amazing deal.

      • jes on 12/02/2025 - 09:33

        Yes im thinking to accept it, do u think I can contest the $79 at a later stage with another operator or its like only one opportunity?

        • CodeXD on 12/02/2025 - 09:45

          Have you already cancelled the 1st plan? If you have then they're not gonna charge you $79 at all.

          You can also treat them separately if you want and just ask them to do the 2nd number - refund the $79 and you'll pay the cancellation fee of $526.

          • jes on 12/02/2025 - 12:00

            @CodeXD: I havent cancelled anything yet

        • zekeyoung99 on 12/02/2025 - 10:58

          I signed up to the $99 plan to get the S25+. The initial $99 payment took a couple of days to come out of my account, then took another couple of days to clear on Telstras end.
          If Telstra won't refund you the $79, ask them if they will credit your Telstra account instead. That's what I did and they were happy to assist with that.
          You can then use the credit towards the cancellation fee.

          • CodeXD on 12/02/2025 - 11:48

            @zekeyoung99: I think issue is they bought sign up 2 numbers and one of them has been charged $79 while the other one has not.

            Number 1. Payout $549 as there is no monthly charge, so paying the full cancellation fee.
            Number 2. Charged $79 for the first month, so cancellation fee is reduced down to $526.

            @jes wants to pay $526 per phone, rather than the $549 and $526 respectively.

            So it might be best to always cancel the plan AFTER you've already been charged for the first month. Since there is a good chance you can get that refunded or credited to your account. So you ultimately only need to pay ~95.8% (23 divide by 24) of the full cancellation fee lol

            • jes on 12/02/2025 - 12:01

              @CodeXD: Sure the $526 charge and no monthly fee would be ideal for both.
              But im happy for $550 for both and no monthly fee as well.

              Trying another chat attempt now. But good point about asking if the $79 fee can be credited instead if they wont refund.

              It's so confusing why the two charges are different.

        • jes on 12/02/2025 - 13:31

          No luck in my case, im not sure why the others here got the $79 waived, any other tips? My $79 is already cleared not pending.

  • tdog123 on 12/02/2025 - 14:26

    Hi really need your expertise on this deal…i ported using my own number which i dont want to lose…what are the next steps i need to do to cancel the deal without losing number? I have a boost plan can i just port into this?

    • CodeXD on 12/02/2025 - 14:28
      +2

      If you port out it will cancel the telstra plan so a good start. Make sure you do not contact telstra chat to cancel because you will not be able to receive SMS/calls anymore.

      I'm not sure if you can port Telstra -> boost by normal means. I suggest you contact boost chat and see what they say.

      • tdog123 on 12/02/2025 - 14:35

        I can buy a $2 sim and not use boost? But how would the cancellation fee be settled? Would it be automatic? Has anyone done this?

        • CodeXD on 12/02/2025 - 15:01
          +1

          You'll get an email saying you have a bill to pay in your telstra account.

  • tex on 12/02/2025 - 14:50

    I'm with Telstra and the guy at the store via phone said I'd have to be out of the network for 31 days to be eligible. Is this accurate? Deal ends tomorrow and not sure if they actually check this or not.

    • Borg on 12/02/2025 - 18:31

      Yes it's true so buy and activate an Aldi $5 Sim in advance and port new phone to it. Hassle free.

      • tex on 12/02/2025 - 20:57

        Deal ends tomorrow though. However, I read in the ultra post that apparently they don't actually care.

        • Borg on 12/02/2025 - 21:01

          Report back and let us know how you go.

  • keejoonc on 12/02/2025 - 15:50

    Are there people who haven't picked up their phone yet? I bought one for the missus yesterday, but they only had ultra model in stock so couldn't pick it up on the spot.

  • FiDad on 12/02/2025 - 18:54

    I am going to JB store tomorrow to get this deal. I am assuming we have to do it in store. I have got a recently expired amaysim number which I will use for getting this deal. Do i need to recharge with Amaysim for port in to go through? I have checked I am still receiving sms on the number

    • Borg on 12/02/2025 - 19:20
      +1

      Yes as number needs to be active to transfer.

      • FiDad on 12/02/2025 - 19:32

        Fair enough. Number is kinda active as it can receive calls and sms but i cant call or sms anyone. Anyway amaysim sent me a $7.5 a month offer to rejoin so might as well take that up and then do the port in

        • Borg on 12/02/2025 - 20:56

          Sorry should have noted, Active = You can make calls i.e. has credit.

        • CodeXD on 12/02/2025 - 22:20

          No, you only need to be able to receive SMS to port, does not need to have credit.

          I previously ported my boost sim card over to amaysim when the plan had expired but not disconnected.

    • HomeAlone on 12/02/2025 - 21:16
      +2

      Do i need to recharge with Amaysim for port in to go through?

      No. Your Amaysim plan may have expired, but your service (number) remains active.

      If you look at your expired plan in your account, on the right side it will show you the expiry date for the service. Your service won't be disconnected until 90 days after that date.

      Basically each recharge/plan payment resets the service expiry to 365 days + 90 days passive period. (service disconnection at 455 days after your last payment)

      • Borg on 12/02/2025 - 22:04

        I have to disagree based on personal experience only. I have many active (expired plan) numbers. I could them port out due to being expired plan. Have tested with Boost and Amaysim over last year. Has something changed recently?

        • CodeXD on 12/02/2025 - 22:20
          +2

          I could them port out due to being expired plan.

          Do you mean couldn't?

          • Borg on 13/02/2025 - 12:35

            @CodeXD: Opps, Ah ha…..yes, couldn't. :-)

              +1

              @Borg: Can update it worked for my expired Amaysim plan. May be the trick is to change the plan in Amaysim to $0 per month As you go plan before doing the port in.

              • Borg on 13/02/2025 - 12:50

                @FiDad: Wow, I didnt see that "change plan to $0 option"…..until now. Nice find and thanks for pointing this out.

    Would help me decide if I should buy this or not.

    • MT2010 on 13/02/2025 - 13:34

      You should talk to your tax agent, maybe different tax treatments compared to another person

  • KJS100 on 12/02/2025 - 20:16

    Regarding the potential impact on credit rating when purchasing and cancelling, is it just possible to use a debit card instead?

    • CodeXD on 12/02/2025 - 22:21

      Impact on credit rating isn't because you used credit card to pay for it… you'll get it regardless, even if you paid in cash lol

  • keesea123 on 12/02/2025 - 20:52

    Does this not work for the 25+ models just at a higher cancelation price as it says $0 upfront for it too?

  • Captain Obvious on 13/02/2025 - 12:07

    Perhaps a dumb question, but is this kinda deal available for any new Galaxy model? Ie does this happen every year?

  • nunyabizzness on 13/02/2025 - 12:14

    • FiDad on 13/02/2025 - 12:16

  • brd56 on 13/02/2025 - 13:50

    Im not understanding where everyone is finding this ~$520+$79 ETC from? is this an amount on the contract when going into the store?

    All I can see is the CIS on the JB website stating you will need to pay back the voucher pro rata which would be the complete cost of the phone.

    • Captain Obvious on 13/02/2025 - 13:50

      Read the actual terms and conditions

      • brd56 on 13/02/2025 - 13:59

  • Lord Ra on 13/02/2025 - 16:01

    @CodeXD
    Thanks for all your active contributions in the chat.
    Being a last minute joe for my mama, I thought I could get her this instead of her A30 which is almost dead.
    I have a $200 JBHIFI $200 pre-order coupon. I don't know if I can use that to get this deal but at JBHIFI instead?

    So is this right?
    1. Activate $5 aldi sim or optus esim & a get a number
    2. Go in store to either TGG or JBHIFI
    3. Sign up to the $79 plan with $0 upfront for the S25 512GB
    4. Go home and jump on telstra chat and cancel.
    5. Wait for phone to be delivered

    Is this right? How does the $200 code fit in?

    • Warmachine99 on 13/02/2025 - 16:38

      Go to JB and when they process the transaction for the phone, tell them you have the $200 code and they will process it then at the checkout.

      • Lord Ra on 13/02/2025 - 16:56

        Thanks @Warmachine99
        But the cost is $0 for the phone anyways, so how will they apply it?

        • CodeXD on 13/02/2025 - 16:59
          +3

          @Warmachine99 is correct. You apply the $200 pre-order voucher first. When you sign up for the plan, the staff will also give you a $1387 gift card which can only be used for this phone. So you scan the $200 and it will reduce how much is left to pay down to $1187. The checkout person will then pay the remainder with $1387 gift card. You will get that $200 in JB gift card back for whatever you want to buy at JB :)

          For step 5. depending on the in store stock, you might get it on the spot as well. When I ordered the S25 they said the colour I wanted was not available and they said it will be delivered for free, not sure if that is the same for everyone. S25 Ultra they said there is no free delivery and will let me know when to pick up.

          • Lord Ra on 13/02/2025 - 17:01

            • CodeXD on 13/02/2025 - 17:45

              @Lord Ra: If you did this, then the esim is under your name

              1. Activate $5 aldi sim or optus esim & a get a number

              The phone is for your mum, but the number you port is under your own name. You don't even need to mention the phone is a gift.

        Invoice says 512GB. I got Telstra to note the $526.93 fee for when I cancel once I swap the phone. Hope they dont accuse me of swapping!

          You are fine. The plan is seperate to phone so doesn’t matter.

    If I cancelled my plan/account already is it too late to ask for a refund on the first month that they charged?

      No, still give it a go. There's a good chance they will still refund you.

    Hey guys! I need your feedback on this! So I did everything as above mentioned in the comments.
    1. Went to JBHiFi
    2. Signed the contract
    3. zero payment upfront for Samsung Galaxy s25 512GB
    4. They issued me a new sim
    5. Came back home.. Later at night cancelled the Telstra contract using the chat service.
    6. The issued me an invoice of $526.93.. no refund on the $79..
    But this invoice appears that I have to pay this amount to JBHiFi. The question is, will I still be getting the phone? I know you guys have already got it.. But has this happened to all of you? out of the blue you'll get a text from JB HiFi to collect the phone?

      It's fine, I did that several days before phone was ready to collect. You can pay Telstra direct if you want, just call them or do nothing and it will auto charge the fee on the date noted on the invoice. Regardless, the plan payout has no relationship to the phone. You will receive notification from JB once ready to collect.

          How did you order today?
          I thought the s25 for free offer ended yesterday.
