Pixel 9 128gb comes to $599 minus your phone trade in value, and is probably the one worth looking at

Not familiar with telstra trade in and how it works, but looks like you need to return device via post or telstra store before credit is applied to your telstra account.

Unsure of locked.

    Haha late Telstra. And bad deal while you're at it.

  • T-man on 27/10/2025 - 13:19

    Pixel 9 Pro XL 256Gb for $697 or no deal

  • Oh Daddy on 27/10/2025 - 13:19

    even with the extra $600 trade in credit, doesn't come close to the current outright discounts.

    • sam buster on 27/10/2025 - 13:48

      You removed your reply?

      • Oh Daddy on 27/10/2025 - 13:50

        Yeah, the math wasn't matching.

        It would relatively be 697-165+250

  • sam buster on 27/10/2025 - 13:26
    +7

    Pixel 7 256GB has a trade in value of "up to $165" so I'd effectively be losing $85 off the bonus $600 to begin with.
    For those of us that bought a $250 Pixel 7 at the weekend, the effective cost of Pixel 9 128GB would be $684
    1199 - 600 - 165 + 250
    That's still cheaper than $697 at JB Hifi though.

  • Weshouldgetsushi on 27/10/2025 - 13:46

    Requires you to have a current post paid plan with Telstra.

    this is a bad deal, sounds good but number says else.

  • PeeDee on 27/10/2025 - 14:05

    On Thursday JB had an epic deal for Pixel 10 Fold: Up to $400 vouch trade in plus $1000 voucher. $1200 voucher for mobile plan. Additionally $300 voucher for the purchase. Additionally any purchases like magsafe products, cases are discounted.

        I found out on the day :( it's a standard of JB giving extra discounts but the $300 was a day only special

    • techberi on 27/10/2025 - 18:29

      So how much you got it for after all the discounts?

      • PeeDee on 28/10/2025 - 15:39

        I got around $150 gift card.

    How are people using only 128gb.

    • Camelthief on 27/10/2025 - 15:15

      By not storing one's p**n stash on the phone perhaps?

    • Estribo on 27/10/2025 - 17:02
      +2

      I use spotify or youtube for my music, videos are mostly streamed online so that alone might saves me space. Personal captured photos and videos from my phone are also uploaded to my personal cloud so effectively 128gb is workable for me as I'm sure some people are as well.

    • Thinkswithelbow on 27/10/2025 - 20:47

      I stream music.
      I don't game on my phone
      I stream video
      Photos are backed up on cloud

    • M00Cow on 27/10/2025 - 23:43

      yeah, it's an Apple ploy, offer cheapest product with limited storage, hook you in & charge a fortune for usable storage.

    • daurnimator on 31/10/2025 - 23:06

      What do you do with it all? I don't think I've ever used more than 16gb or so

      • sam buster on 04/11/2025 - 09:51

        I haven't installed anything myself on my new Pixel 7 256GB and already 10% of the storage is taken up!
        No photos, videos, music. No social media. Haven't even set up email yet.

    • Lingnoi on 01/11/2025 - 22:32

  • M00Cow on 27/10/2025 - 23:45

    these overly complicated deals are megh. I'm still yet to see some actual real examples.

  • Peppas on 04/11/2025 - 22:36

    Does anyone know if you're still eligible for the trade in bonus credit if you send in a damaged phone which is still in working order? Ie I have an old iphone 8 which still works but it has a crack in the screen. Trade in value would be $0 but just wondering if you would still get the bonus credit - can't really see much in the fine print. Thanks in advance.

  • txb on 05/11/2025 - 08:05

    Your pixel of choice minus trade in, minus 600cr
    Plus cheapest post paid plan @70 for 1 month then cancel? Would the credit be taken off the phone price or added to your account? Would you be able to request refund of the credit if you cancel after the above 1 month?

    • lynxfist on 05/11/2025 - 16:46
      +1

      I'm doing exactly that with the P9P @ $799 over 36 months. Signed up for $70 plan intending to cancel after 1 month and sent in my Pixel 5 as a trade in just now for $60 plus $600 bonus credit. That should work out to 799+70-60-600= $209 for P9P. Waiting for the trade in credit to come through, I'll give an update here.

      • txb on 05/11/2025 - 23:55

        Why did you go for a 36 month contract? why not buy the phone outright?

        • lynxfist on 06/11/2025 - 04:51

          I wasn't sure how the how the trade in credit would be applied if I had already paid off the device. The credit would most likely be refunded but I didn't want there to be any funny business like 'we can't refund the credit', so I thought I'd wait for it to be applied to the phone value then I would pay off the remaining amount.

          • txb on 06/11/2025 - 08:02

            @lynxfist: I see your point. I was a post paid customer and Telstra app chat are very quick at resolving billing issues once you lay out a full and good explanation. I'm going in-store to ask to be sure

          • Shanky on 06/11/2025 - 08:28

            @lynxfist: there is no information about how the trade in would work on their website.

          • txb on 07/11/2025 - 21:45
            +1

            @lynxfist: Yes, in-store Telstra employee confirmed post paid plan or outright will yield the same result. Can cancel anytime/just pay the outright handset cost and credit can be withdrawn to your bank later if you leave.

      • AFOS on 07/11/2025 - 10:23

        Sorry, would you mind elaborating on this? I was thinking about the same but got somehow lost in sequence of actions. If I buy the phone first (P9P) with a plan ($70) I will get the account number. Only then I will be able to submit a trade in request. However, by that time the phone will have been already purchased and most probably dispatched. Will they require to buy another one to get $600 trade in bonus?

        • lynxfist on 07/11/2025 - 17:10
          +1

          Yes you buy the phone with a plan, then do a trade in using that phone number. The trade in bonus will be applied to the account within 30 days I was told by live chat. You won't be required to buy another phone, to be on the safe side I chose not to buy the phone outright, rather I bought it on installments so that the $600 bonus could be applied to the phone and then I will pay off the remaining amount.

          • dealsgrabber on 08/11/2025 - 10:07

            @lynxfist: Isn't the $600 trade in bonus credit applied only if you buy the phone using trade in? In this case you are buying the phone first (without trade in) and then just doing the trade in.

            Shouldn't it be you buy a plan first, then buy a phone using that account and trade in at the same time?

            • lynxfist on 08/11/2025 - 11:37

              @dealsgrabber: It doesn't let you trade in at the same time when buying the phone, so there is no option to buy the phone using trade in

      • lynxfist on 09/11/2025 - 07:34
        +2

        Update: The $600 bonus credit is showing on my account now. I traded in my phone on 05/11 and the credit showed up yesterday 08/11. I can confirm the credit gets sent directly to your linked bank card, so purchasing outright shouldn't be a problem. In my case I have paid out the phone and cancelled the postpaid service with no issue. All up the cost for me was 799+70-60-600= $209 for the Pixel 9 Pro. Great deal!

        • kalakaar on 11/11/2025 - 13:19

          Thanks for sharing. I iwll try this out too.

        • milanoxpress on 12/11/2025 - 19:14

          Did you buy it in physical Telstra store or did the purchase on Telstra online store?

          • lynxfist on 12/11/2025 - 23:40

            @milanoxpress: I purchased online

            • milanoxpress on 13/11/2025 - 00:02

              @lynxfist: I am bit worried about the 17 Nov deal end date for the $600. If I buy tommorrow in store, would I have enough time to send my old phone for trade-in just inside timeline for the 17 Nov end date.
              That is my concern. I don't have a current telstra post-paid service. I know from reading the comments here, the $70 month to month sim plan is the combo to choose + P9P.

              If I jumped on this deal sooner, I would be comfortable pulling the trigger to buy p9p 128gb. I have 3 business days or 5 normal days remaining until the $600 credit deal ends. I'm not sure telstra will honour the $600 credit in the short amount time remaining. You got a good deal for p9p.

              • lynxfist on 13/11/2025 - 01:23

                @milanoxpress: YMMV, but I did three separate online orders, and my online orders were delivered within two business days. I agree it is getting quite late to order now because you can only start the trade in once the phone is delivered and the trade in needs to be accepted by 17 Nov.

                If you're unsure it's best to talk to someone from Telstra. I hope it works out for you.

                • milanoxpress on 13/11/2025 - 01:37

                  @lynxfist: That why I’m trying to buy from a store so I can complete everything all in one spot.
                  Activate $70 sim then put the sim into the new P9P. Then give my old phone to Telstra store employee.

                  It seems Telstra stores need appointments to do anything.
                  My particular store fully booked out for 2-3 weeks?

                  That’s really weird because they can’t be that busy constantly. I’ve seen some Telstra shops really quiet with one or two customers & a still they want an appointment system!

                  Is wish I could drop by early in the morning opening time & buy the phone.

  • asyoufake on 08/11/2025 - 23:17

    It could be one of the best deal but it's not currently on ozbargainers' popular radar. P9P 256GB for 950, plus one month's plan cost 60, minus bonus credit along with you old device's trade in value.
    It comes down to 950+60-600-trade in value=290-trade in value.
    The only catch is how long do you have to stay before you can receive the bonus credit.
    It will be effective all time low if you only need to stay for one month. Or else, even better if you can do it on one postpaid plan only but with multiple P9Ps and old trade in devices.

        I also did this on 3/11. Got the $70p/m upfront plan. Traded in 2 devices and bought 2 P9P's outright. Multiple staff said if i set up plan via direct debit then trade in refunds will be credited to my card. Got the trade in value the other day, still waiting for $600 bonus's

        • dealsgrabber on 09/11/2025 - 07:55

          Did you use the same Telstra number to trade in both P9Ps? So it's not limited to 1 trade in for one Telstra post paid plan?

          • Doesnotcompute on 09/11/2025 - 08:02

            @dealsgrabber: Yes, I used the same telstra number. Did everything in store with staff for extra security… no limit mentioned in terms and staff confirmed ill still get the bonus on the second trade in… will report back once i get them

  • Smeeble on 10/11/2025 - 16:44

    When do you do the trade in? I can't see it while buying the phone? Is it after you have purchased the phone? Do you need to receive the new phone before you do it?

    • lynxfist on 11/11/2025 - 18:37
      +1

      You can't trade in while buying the phone, in order to trade in you need to have an active postpaid number. If you opted for a new number then you'll need to wait until the phone is delivered because that's when the new number gets activated. The trade in process can only be initiated with an active postpaid number.

          yeah congrats mate! and even more it's the 256GB storage. better than any "JB Hifi + Telstra $766 exit fee" deal, imo.

          Lucky this trade up deal wasn't popular, easier for us to get.

          Trade in that P9P 256GB to get the 256GB Pro XL at telstra? LOL
