Was noted in this deal but thought it was worth highlighting as a separate deal as there are several pre-paid mobiles that are 20% off including:

  • Huawei Y5 $103.20 (was $129)
  • Lumia 640 $143.20 (wa $179)
  • Samsung Core Prime $135.20 (was $169)
  • Samsung Galaxy A3 $223.20 (was $279)

Harvey Norman appear to sell the headphones for $129 but can be had for $US50 from Amazon

Telstra pre-paid phones cost $80 to unlock in the first 6 months, $25 after 6 months and free after 2 years

    Yeah the Telstra Buzz comes with the headphones as well. $63.20 + 5gb of data and $129 retail price for headphones makes it probably as good as the Y550 $40 HN deal with $50 vodafone prepaid sim pack.

  • Davros on 24/11/2015 - 19:42

    $5 unlock for the buzz.

    • Ronnnie on 24/11/2015 - 20:11

      The buzz doesn't support 900 3g band though. So wouldn't be that good on Optus or vodafone where they use 900 towers. Unless you unlock it to use on other Telstra resellers.

      • Davros on 24/11/2015 - 21:28

        Great, I didn't want to use optus or vodaphone, I bought it to use aldi

      • FootooMootoo on 24/11/2015 - 21:30

        Most newer base stations with Vodafone use the 850MHz band for 3G (especially after the Vodafail incident). Only Optus uses the 900MHz band widely.

        • Ronnnie on 25/11/2015 - 00:53

          Yes most areas use 850, won't help when you are in an area with 900. My local Vodafone is 900, so if I blindly just went with the theory that most areas have 850 I'll be right, then I would have a useless phone. Just like people unlocking to work on optus and finding out the hardway.

        Does it support the up coming VoLTE (4G voice)? then you wont need the 3G 900?

        • Ronnnie on 25/11/2015 - 18:01

          Haha you are funny, Vodafone doesn't even have 4g in my area. I get Nbn before Vodafone offering 4g.

    Is the Buzz compatible with amaysim?

    • happychappy1 on 24/11/2015 - 20:47

      Amaysim is Optus, so it's partly compatible - only 2100MHz 3G, not compatible with 900MHz 3G. This means you'll get reduced coverage in country areas as well as indoors.

      Go for the Lumia 640 if you're going to use it on the Optus or Vodafone networks.

      • [Deactivated] on 24/11/2015 - 20:49
        +2

        I would say avoid. relying on 2100mhz is pretty horrible.

        Initially had a 900/2100mhz handset and used it on Telstra (no 900mhz). The phone was close to useless. Not sure if Optus' 2100mhz is any better.

        • happychappy1 on 24/11/2015 - 20:53

          It's worse on Telstra, since they shutdown the 3GIS network and rely almost solely on 850MHz for 3G.

          Even though the Buzz is compatible with the APT700MHz (Band 28) LTE frequency, it still needs to drop down to 3G to make calls, so it won't work properly.

        • exit on 24/11/2015 - 20:59

          Well I'm pretty much getting the phone free with the headphones, so coverage is not a concern as I won't be relying on it. Just as long as it can do the basic functions it should be fine, otherwise I would switch providers.

        • happychappy1 on 24/11/2015 - 21:10

          @shot: The Lumia is an all-round better phone, the buzz isn't that good.

        • exit on 24/11/2015 - 21:12

          @happychappy1: Aight, I'll keep that to consideration, undecided still.

        • Davros on 24/11/2015 - 22:18

          @happychappy1: says you. Plenty say its a great phone for the price.

        • happychappy1 on 24/11/2015 - 22:36

          @Davros: For the price. But if you're looking for a phone that you will use on any other network, then the Buzz isn't that good.

          Plus, the Lumia has a Clearblack IPS LCD display, which is 720p - so the sunlight visibility will be significantly better on the Lumia than the Buzz.

          In terms of app support, it there will be more on the Buzz, especially for Google services, but it will also be limited by its 8GB (but significantly less) built in storage. On the Lumia, you can easily install most apps (+offline maps) onto the SD card, which is more difficult to do on the Buzz.

          As a phone phone, the Lumia 640 is much better.

        • happychappy1 on 25/11/2015 - 09:42

          @Davros: If you compared similarly priced, then it would be the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. Even spec for spec, the Lumia 640 is better then that phone - bigger battery, bigger and higher resolution display, and especially the ability to install to a large SD card, which is lacking on the Android side. The only thing that would be lacking is the apps, so you need to evaluate whether it's feasible for you. For me, I have both Android and Windows so it's fine.

        • Ronnnie on 25/11/2015 - 14:01

          @happychappy1:

          I'd rather buy both and have some change. Get the buzz with the headphones with this deal. Then pick up the Lumia 640 for $30 during Black Friday sales. :D

          Simple maths alludes you obviously.
          The Samsung Core Prime is $135.20
          The Buzz is $63
          They are not similarly priced

          As I said, your comment is as stupid and as pointless as rubbishing a Falcon because a Mercedes is better.

      I'm thinking of getting it for my mum too. I've seen it in store and it's very responsive. Looks great as a christmas gift. Only issue is, they don't sell it in the white phone. Harvey Norman was selling both colours for $268 unlocked, most recently.

      Its body is metal(aluminum), which feels great on the hands(almost good as iphone or HTC I reckon). Otherwise, Samsung Galaxy J series is much better in terms of price per specs.

      • Flowerbomb on 25/11/2015 - 00:15

        J series, as in J1? J1 isn't very good, although being cheaper. What are the chances of a price drop of the A3 before Christmas. Im really unsure whether to bite the bullet and buy one now.

    The Lumia 640 also is over double the price of the buzz and cost more to unlock. Other negatives to Note Windows AppStore is poor and most people can't find all the apps they need and the apps that do exist aren't as good of quality as Android ones. The browser is poor with no alternatives. By all means if you wish to move from Android to windows phone than install this app first to see how many apps you use are already on wp.

    Ordered Buzz + headphones ($63.20) at lunchtime yesterday before this deal via CashRewards. CashRewards has tracked purchase & $10 had been added to the pile of as yet unconfirmed cash back.

    Just received both in Brisbane.
    Headphones look impressive. Certainly would cost more than phone. Appears to be same as HN are clearing at $129 :-) Leaving in box for moment, HN photos are same as on box

    Will be mainly using the Buzz for Telstra data on 4GX. So won't bother paying to unlock.

          If they chose not to send the headphones out, but keep showing the offer, that'd be highly deceptive marketing. Seriously, they could have run out on day one but keep this promo going for the whole year…

        • unity1 on 25/11/2015 - 20:33

          @msmhw: sure does. But what is stopping them from running this promo till next Christmas (with handy disclaimer) if there was no stock?
          They are still advertising the phones with the bonus, so it would be low in the extreme if they have already run out, yet not pulled the promotion web pages.
          To be honest, I don't expect it to be a problem. The deal hasn't even cracked 60 votes yet, so I wouldn't have thought it'd be 'ozbargained'.
          In my experience it is quite normal for companies to split deliveries. Ie receive the headphones seperate from the phone.

    We're getting $130 worth of hardware for $65 if we get the Buzz. If someone is looking for a backup phone and a headset to give as a bday/xmas prezzie, then this deal is pretty good! So that's about $33 for each item. Would I pay $33 for a phone? To use as a backup? Maybe. Would I pay $33 for Monster headphones? Perhaps. Do I need them? NO.

    Cheers, bought one last night and can confirm the headphones are on my invoice

    Even thought the CashRewards is only supposed to be prepaid sim, I clicked through using the link from CR, did a search for buzz and bought the phone. Got an email this morning confirming the $10 cash back :D
