Works out to be about $100 cheaper for an iPhone 16 Pro 128, using the well-known cancellation guidelines. Not worth the trouble IMHO, but some may find this intriguing.
TGG is running the same deal: https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/mobile-and-broadband-plans#be…
Yeah I think it was $49/month for 12 month with $500 when I did it back in 2019
whats the well known cancellation guide?
Max repayment: $800 for the $1000 gift card.
oh okay so if the iPhone 16 pro is $2147, i minus the 1000 GC = 1147 + the 89 compulsory monthly payment + 800 for the cancellation fee = $2036?
Not quite. $766.67 for cancellation ($800/24*23) cuz already paid first month, and it's pro-rated.
2 years ago it was $69/24m plan for $550, now it's $79/24m for $550, just gets worse and worse.
Inflation hits everything!
Doesn't hit the giftcard amount somehow.
Is this the same as the recent deal where you get the iPhone 16 for $800?
They run offer to get iphone 16 for free on 99$ plan on regular basis, don't sign up for this deal if you want an iphone
So if iPhone 16 is now $1148 and you use the $1000 gift card you will still be out of pocket $148? On top of the $800+ cancellation fee?
yeah, you still need to pay the difference
Ha. Yesterday it was $99/m for $1100 GC.
It was $1200 on some days last month.
Would rather $1500 off. This is pxss weak.
Why stop there , don't you mean free ⁉️
Any loophole for existing Telstra customers?
Yes, buy a $5 ALDI starter sim & port it over.
And keep my current number?
If you port your Telstra number to Aldi, why not?
Is it still the same with the new JB plans? They have 1800 off the pixel fold right now.
How long do you have to be ported out to be regarded as 'new'?
+1
it's 1month when I've done it in the past.
$1k GC or Samsung S25 256GB for $0 on the $89 plan.
Depends if you want Samsung or Google phone (or something else)
I think everyone has it wrong with this $800 voucher repayment for cancellation.
I noticed on the $1000 gift card offer "The $1000 JB Hi-Fi Gift Card will replace the value of the Voucher stated in the Critical Information Summary".
For the $1200 S25 deal then I noticed "The $1200 off the current ticketed price of a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra(referred to as the “JB Hi-Fi Voucher” in the Telstra Terms and Conditions available at www.telstra.com.au/jbhifi-mobile-terms) replaces the dollar value of the Voucher in the Critical Information Summary"
The CIS says "If you cancel or move to a lower cost plan then you'll need to pay a Voucher Repayment Fee pro-rated against the remaining months of your plan’s minimum term."
But also says…
Voucher
For eligible customers (see below for eligibility criteria)
Starter Everyday Premium
N/A $550 $800
Maximum Voucher Repayment Fee
Starter Everyday Premium
N/A $550 $800
I reckon you'd struggle to get only $800 pro-rated. Is this a tried and tested thing?
Last time I jumped in these deal was $500gc from 59/m*12 months, yes a long time ago. Was good time
