Compact 4” Android phone for the price of a pint - a similar model went on sale last month as well and deal was then expired, looks like they got a new batch in. This one says it’s 4G while last month’s one was 3G according to Coles.
Mixed reviews here.
Easy to unlock?
If you are paying $14/pint, please turn in your ozbargain membership!
Could be good for a disposable GPS tracker, unlike previous $15 burner phones that lacked GPS.
Do Boost phones still take Optus SIMs without unlocking?
Boost used Telstra network. Would require unlocking.
Ah! I see Optus lost the license back in 2013.
But ZTE, so a $3 ebay unlock and $5 ALDI SIM and we're in business :-)
That is a cheap phone📱
But, here's a FREE Telstra 4G (locked) phone delivered - received mine but not easy / cheap to unlock.
Does Pokemon Go run on this?
I mean of course it doesn't but I gotta ask
You mean to say:
Can I play Fortnite on this? Asking for my kid.
Alcatel U5 is also available for $29 at Coles
This or s10+ 🤔
I would go for s10 due to the dual SIM option
S10+, 100 of these of 100 pints?
Could be an interesting option for a handlebar mounted bike computer/gps/strava/mapmyride etc. I'm never going to mount my good phone to a handlebar, but this, for the price of an (albeit expensive) pint, why not.
Could I use this to stream Kayo to my Chromecast? Because I can't be bothered using my main phone to cast the game so this may be a good option if possible.
Insane price for an incredible phone (at the price point)
But that's about what it's worth, may come in handy for a single app. Band 28 on a phone of this spec is absolutely 'What the?'
I have this phone which I bought for 29.95 in Apr 2018. I used this to keep my personal mobile number active ( I use my office phone for most purposes).
A)Diary type case is available.
B)Unlock code was like 4 USD from ebay.
C)Charging is slow. If you use it like a GPS then it can drain even if connected to a car charger.
GPS is ultra accurate. I use it all the time because my iPhone GPS is faulty.
Would I be able to use it to cast to Chromecast such as Youtube, Netflix etc? Thanks
I've had no joy finding stock of this. Tried 3 stores in Canberra (Jamison, Belconnen, Kaleen), nil stocks. I find myself in Launceston / Wellington St this morning, they have an apology note printed on the shelf, unavailable. Note says they're offering the Alcatel U3 instead for the same price. I declined.
Better saying, good luck finding it. Like the good ol' Dick Smith deals
Yeah, I have tried 3 stores in WA myself with no luck.

Mowbray have it, as of 0820.
If anyone in WA knows where there is stock and could let us know, it'd be much appreciated.
Will this still be a valid offer? If we can prove the offer is valid, you can get a pricematch at BigW. I did this about two weeks ago for this phone.
As a cheap phone it's the best I've personally had (<$100), but boot time is slow. Screen is bright and clear. The speaker is almost listenable too which is a bonus.
Thanks for the reply. Not sure about the Zume, it's not in this week's catalogue. They have a few others that are in this week's catalogue, so maybe that'll be good. I might have to go for the Alcatel u5 3G for $29 which Coles have in the catalogue.
I’ve got one one these-only runs Android 6 but fine for playing music and light light gaming.
