Why is it called Black Friday?

Our story starts in 1950s Philadelphia, where police used the term 'Black Friday' to describe the frenzy of post-Thanksgiving shopping. What began as a nickname for a hectic day soon became the world's most famous retail event.

In 2026, Black Friday is less about the rush and more about discovering great deals on the things you've had your eye on. With weeks of offers on the biggest names in tech, you'll have plenty of time to plan ahead and get your Christmas shopping sorted. You might even find a little tech treat for yourself. 

 

How long does Black Friday Sale last? 

Don't let the name trick you into thinking it's just for one day.

Black Friday Sale starts in early November and goes for several weeks.

Which gives you plenty of time to study tech features, compare and refine your wishlist - all before checkout.  

 

What tech goodies will I find? 

Name dropping comes naturally when we're talking brands like Apple, Google, Samsung and Sprout. Here's a taste of what you'll find: 

  • mobile phones and tablets
  • home internet plans 
  • mobile broadband 
  • pre-paid 
  • gaming consoles and games  
  • smartwatches
  • audio, like buds, headphones and wireless speakers 
  • small business essentials.

You can even add selected accessories to your bill and pay them off as you go. If you leave Telstra, simply pay out your device and any accessories you've added.

Eligibility criteria apply for repayment. 

Trade-in for credit

Got an old phone or device collecting dust? Check out our trade-in program. We'll assess it - and if it's approved, we'll credit your Telstra bill which you can then put towards something newer.

7 Day Price Match

When you buy a new phone or device from us, then see it advertised cheaper somewhere else, you can claim the difference in price. We'll need to see proof of the lower price and you'll need to make your claim within 7 days of receiving your device.
