[Pre Order] Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 512GB $437 ($237 With Code) on JB 24M $99/M Plan (in-Store, Port-in Customer) @ JB Hi-Fi

2360

*For those that are seeking a $200 code there are some in the chat that have had success by asking the JBHIFI live chat and tell them that you lost the $200 code in your email, there are some that have received the $200 code a day later in their email as it seems they’ve added them in to send a code.

$1700 off the new s25 Ultra with the $99 p/m jbmobile plan if you port in.

$237 is only if you use the $200 samsung signup promo code otherwise it’s $437. As this is a mobile plan you go in store to signup, show them the $200 preorder code they should give you the further discount.

Plan : $237 ($437 without code) + $99 p/m over 24 months.

If you cancel: $237 + $800 + $99 =$1,136 ($1037 if you can get first months charge refunded)., you will need to pay the voucher repayment fee as stated in terms

Voucher Repayment Fee

6.2 If you received a JB Hi-Fi Voucher when you purchased your Mobile Service and you cancel
that Mobile Service within any applicable Voucher Term, you must pay us the outstanding
amounts for the JB Hi-Fi Voucher you received for the cancelled Mobile Service (the Voucher
Repayment Fee).

6.3 The Voucher Repayment Fee is a pro-rata amount, equal to the total amount of the base
Voucher divided by 24 and multiplied by the months (or part months) remaining in your
Voucher Term.

Max cancellation fee is $800. The $99 first months charge In past deals I’ve usually got this refunded though if you’re really nice, but be aware in case if you are unable to get the $99 refunded. T&C: https://www.telstra.com.au/help/critical-information-summari…

Also keep in mind this deal is for porting in your number, so if you’re planning to cancel you could get a $5 Aldi sim and port in with that.

        • Just rock up on 6th of February or call them provided you have your identifications should be all good. Also they will issue your final receipt for warranty purposes when you collect just say your current active phone number.

    • +2

      Don't they email you as well? Also possible to check order status manually on website?

    • surely they email?

  • Can you open a new plan from say Lebara and transfer to Telstra to get this deal. I don't want to port my existing number.

  • -2

    Hi all.

    Just wondering how you are all cancelling your services and keeping the $1,700 voucher. The T&Cs state that they will recoup the voucher pro-rata.

    Appreciate if anyone can let me know how to get this waived so i can buy a new phone.

    Thanks.

  • -3

    Hi can I please request for explanation.

    I wanted to buy S25 Ultra 512gb.

    how can I avail this deal and how much will it cost altogether.

    thanks

  • Anyone know if the $10 perks coupon can be stacked with the $200 voucher?

    • +1

      I asked and unfortunately not, I was told that they don't stack.

    • Not for preorder items

  • Does anyone know if you can sign up to the Telstra plan with a visa gift card?

  • How do you get access to Telstra chat? I only have access to the JB portal?

  • How much tax is shown on phone receipt? Need it for TRS.

    • Preorder invoice has no GST

    • I presume it will show the full amount, just same as if you used $1900 of GCs + $237 cash. So $2137 (incl gst)

      It's crazy. After getting gst back, looks like you'd actually make profit by upgrading every year and selling the old phone (assuming they keep running a similar deal annually).

      • Yup

      • -3

        I was hoping to double dip on gst refund and use preorder and original invoice when i pickup the phone. But no GST component on the preorder invoice

      • Would be interesting if we can return the phone for a gift card value of 1923… out of pocket 1000ish

    Just pre ordered the s25 ultra from JB hi fi, couldn't use the $200 code as they said its only valid in samsung's website and not in JB hi fi store.

    Is this true ?

    • +2

      The JB code was emailed from them and comes with a barcode.
      The code sent from Samsung themselves is not valid for JB.

      • Hi there, can you share how to have the $200 voucher code emailed by JB?

  • Do you actually need the barcode to apply the voucher? I have the code to apply the $200 discount but not the email.

      • +1

        Thanks:)

  • Is anyone on Optus network having porting issue?

    Its been over 24 hours for me.

    • same, i don't know what is taking so long.

      • Did it get ported for you?

    • Technically there is no Porting on Sunday nor is there on Australia Day holiday.

      So just luck if it goes thru.

      ( I have done heaps of ports and even downloaded the document with non port days.)

      Say it again tis pure luck if it does go ahead
      ( have done on a Sunday as I didn't care if it got held up or not)

  • Can we sign up with new number on Aldi and then follow rest of the process at JB? Or do we have to port in the existing number to Aldi first and then port in again at JB…?

    • I went to jbhifi yesterday and the guy said I can get a new number even though it’s for porting only. Depends on who you get I reckon.

        • Really? I’ll check when I go today to buy it

  • Really struggling to get the $99 refund. Do you only get one chance? Once you confirmed cancellation, is that it?

      • I only already confirmed cancellation but I read another comment where someone still got it after the third try. Still a great deal nonetheless.

        That live chat mentioned lot of Jb hifi customers cancelling on the same day haha

    • Keep trying both Telstra & Jbmobile chat, you need to stress you haven't even plugged in the sim card at all or used the service at all. be extremely nice but convey sympathy.

      • +2

        Had another stab at it. Said they will process refund once the funds clear in their account for my order.

        Also, I chose random options in the chat to connect with someone outside the cancellation team (not sure if this helped)

        Thanks for the advice!

    24 hours later, still waiting for my Amay Sim I set up yesterday to port over to Telstra since he did it in store. What is taking so long?

    • Ports used to take longer on Sundays and public holidays but i thought that wasnt an issue anymore.

    • Same issue here with a port from Amaysim yesterday afternoon and order is still processing. Should be done tomorrow, after which will have to go back to the store.

      • My apologies, unpublished my post

  • Hi guys, the staff at Jbhifi gave my only a receipt. Should I also be getting an email with the order details?

    • same here, never received a confirmation email nor a digital receipt for the phone component.

    • Check your junk email?
      I received an email for pre order of the phone

      • Yeah I checked my junk nothing in there too. Just received emails regarding the porting to telstra/jbhifi.

      • +1

        I called the Jbhifi today and they told the receipt is the only thing they give and invoice will be emailed once order is complete.

  • Get 10% off, via coles 10% off TCN kids gift card

    • Does this end today?

      • Gift cards go on sale at coles on wednesday

  • Can I confirm my math is right - for the 1TB model, the total cost would be $1403.57 if I can get the $99 refunded?

    • That yep that’s correct, provided you have the $200 off code.

  • Went to JB HiFi and pre-order, receive the physical receipt/contract but order status is "in progress" after waiting for 30 minutes. Leave the store and hopefully the system will work later.

    Anyone has the same problem?

    • It takes abit. Did it twice took about 10 minutes each time.

      • It took about 4hours for completed order for me. So did you cancel both contract at the same time, same day? Any problems with cancelling?

        • Oh at least it’s all done now. I cancelled it the second I left the store lol. Just did it sitting in my car using the Telstra app livechat. Zero issues. In fact I actually came in again and got one for my relative. Zero issues both got 99 refunded to.

  • Re: $1100 JB Hifi store voucher when you sign up on $99 Telstra plan.
    Apologies, if this has already been covered. Haven't hade a chance to scroll through all the posts
    Does this go toward the reduction in price for the phone?
    I was told in store the other day (re; S25+) that the $1100 store voucher (offered with the telstra $99 plan), becomes $1687 so you get the phone for $0.
    I explained that's not how the offer reads on the website….Didn't get into an argument with him. Just politely said thanks for clarifying and walked away.
    The way I read it, is that S25+ for $0 if you sign up for the Telstra $99 plan. The $99 plan offers a $1100 JB Hifi Voucher (til 13/2/2025).
    So can anyone tell me if this is actually the case or did the store attendant tell me furfy!
    What is your experience for those that have gone through the process?

    • +1

      If you port in, you get a $1700 voucher for the S25+ so there is not upfront cost. You will be charged the $99 Telstra service fee for the first month which you can get refunded. So total cost for the S25+ should be the $766 voucher repayment to Telstra.

      I bought both a S25 Ultra and S25+ yesterday

      • So you did not walk out of the store with a JB HiFi GC?
        If you did what value was it?

        • They scanned the gift card as I was paying for the phone. Effectively I paid nothing for the S25+. The gift card was $1700 as per the deal.

      • I assume you got two connections ported in.

        • +1

          Yep, two numbers got ported. I was there with my wife and it was one phone per person on seperate Telstra accounts

      • Hey just checking if you received any email for the pre-order or just the paper receipt? Thanks

        • I got both email and paper receipt

  • I have put in a request in the other thread so will see how that goes but also wanted to get everything prepped in advance. I'll prefix this by saying this is going to sound like a bit of a silly question but for context I previously bought my current phone outright about 4-5 years ago and it wasn't a new release at the time.

    So I went and bought an Aldi Sim earlier today and have it activated with a new number, I've confirmed it to now be operational. Will the JB staff need to see it physically in store? Obviously its not my primary number which is the one I want to keep in my mobile device if possible. All the other instructions/advice everyone has provided seem straight forward enough that was the only thing I wanted to confirm in case I need to advise my mobile may not be contactable for approximately 'x' amount of time.

    • You need an active sim to receive the porting sms. If you've a spare phone insert the sim in it and turn it on when you go to JB Hifi.

      OR

      Take out your other sim (primary number) and insert the ALDI sim for temporary use. Also, if your phone is esim compatible change the primary number to esim.

      • Activated sim I have confirmed.

        No spare phone that's why I was asking whether they'd actually need to see the sim either by itself or functioning in a phone or would they simply just be looking up its status online and confirming its status. I won't be looking to retain the new number/service but would need to give notice to numerous persons if needing to have my primary number non contactable during purchase.

        • JB Hifi doesn't need to see any of that or care about it. When you initiated the porting process Telstra will send you a sms, which you provide the code to the staff.

        • -1

          When porting they will send you an SMS that you need to confirm you want to port. So I can't just give them someone else's number to port lol

          • @CodeXD: Well that answers the question, sim needs to be active in a mobile at time of purchase in order to receive the text to provide to the staff.

            Thought the back end system may of shown who it was registered to was my train of thought and as when you signed up to the Aldi account you needed to provide all of your personal details they would also then match.

            Thanks for the confirmation

    • +2

      Yeah bring the sim with you and they just send a verification code sms to that number. You only need to plug it in when they send you the sms. Then you could just unplug it when it’s done.

      • Perfect, cheers.

  • How do I get the $200 off code? I wanna buy this phone for my mum as gift thanks

    • Too late now. You had to sign up with an email before presales started. There was a deal posted for it.

    • Join the megathread as posted in the initial comment and hope you get lucky

  • Genuine question, why is everyone cancelling the plan through Telstra chat instead of porting out to new provider? Wouldn't porting out be easier than cancelling through chat?

    • +1

      Port might take too long to action and any delay means the $99 month fee ticking away.

      People might also be using burner number to sign up so dont care about porting number to save.

      Also good to do in chat to get screenshot confirmation of final bill incase they (telstra/jb) try hit you up for further fees later.

  • How to refund the $99 first month? Telstra said i need to talk to jb hifi because its been charged to them.

    • no, they are just passing the buck! Telstra are the ones that refund, not JB. Stick to your guns it took a bit of convincing for me over chat before they folded.

  • Can I port my non-telstra spare number in for this deal THEN transfer ownership of the number/plan to my dad, then can he transfer his usual number to said new plan? (then cancel his old JB plan)
    Apologies if it's obvious, but I haven't followed this stuff for a few years, but recall them making this hard.

  • what do i pay on the day that i order the phone?? is it 437 + 99?

  • +7

    $99 refund for first month just hit my bank acc.

    25 Ultra 512gb
    Total $766 + 237 =$1002

    After GST refund (trs)
    Brings total to ~$800

    Much better than the samsung deals.

    • Great score, and thanks for letting us know that the refund cleared without any issues. Gives me even more confidence in making the same purchase…albeit without the TRS opportunity lol

    • Nice work. Do you plan to bring the phone back into Aus after you claim trs , what’s the chance they tell you to repay it when you return. Cheers.

      • Yes, but I'm travelling with family, so splitting the $2k amongst us will bring it down under $900 per person allowance threshold.
        Highly unlikely I would get pulled up but who knows.

        • Yes they are stalking the forums…

          :)

      How you get the $99 refund?, Telstra staff reluctant to refund first month fee , tried 2 times via Telstra chat but no luck.

      • +1

        Don't know, maybe I got lucky with the agent. I just said I wasn't happy with the service then requested the refund and they did it right away.
        Try again
        Multiple people on this thread reported success (which is why i bothered to try my luck in the first place)
        Not sure if they put notes on the file or something after you get denied?

        • Did you canceled it immediately after the porting was complete or waited for some time? Also how long did it take to get the refund after you asked for it?

          • +1

            @Sbora0: Cancelled within 2 hours of porting.
            I asked for refund Friday and got it today (Wednesday)

      • +1

        Took me 4 goes but got it refunded eventually! Pure luck i think

  • Successfully completed 2 ports and and cancels.

    Thinking of going back and doing a third port at a different jb hi fi (phones for family members), what are the chances they will see that I have already cancelled 2 plans a few days ago?

    I see there is a 3 sign up limit per customer

    • Did you cancel with Tesltra or JB?
      JB Team is saying they can cancel the plan for me, but will I get the $99 refunded if I cancel with JB?
      How did you cancel?

      • -1

        Telstra app chat, unsure about doing it through JB direct. $99 was never charged upfront.

        I was just invoiced a $799 ETC for each order only after cancelling

        • Ohh this is something new.
          I thought it was 99+766 and then 99 refund.
          Still good.
          Thanks!

    • Good to hear, i've done 1 so far

      Where are you getting the JB codes from?

      • I had one s25 ultra pre register code from signing up to the pre order

        The other order was just for the s25+ and wanting to get a second s25+

  • Going in 2morrow morning to get the phone. Hopefully can get the $99 refund as well.

    • Is it released in stores to pick up tomorrow?

      • +1

        It will be available from 6th Feb onwards.

        • Do we just show up at JB on 6th or need to wait for sms or email from jb?

          • +1

            @asc: I believe they will send a notification but just get a confirmation before you show up.

      • I mean will order. The phone will release later

  • +1

    What cases and screen protectors are everyone buying? Are there any good anti-reflective tempered glass protectors? The Samsung one is a film, and its durability seems questionable based on previous versions.
