    How longdoes Harvey norman take so that iu can pick up the phones? any idea?

    Edit: Never mind i just bought three hopefully doesn't take long.

    • +1

      I usually just go in after about an hour, sometimes they're ready often they're not but they go and get the stuff and let me collect it, they've never turned me away for not waiting for the email

      • Thank you I just picked them up.

      • I just tried this after waiting 7 hours with out the final email. Sales guy was adamant that they can't do anything with-out the final email.
        He blathered on about all the entities involved in the order and who emails who.

        Ultimately he refused to even check for me. This was after I wandered around for maybe 20 mins looking at stuff with out any sales people paying me any attention. Pretty standard fare for Harvey Norman I think.

        • What store was that? I'd be complaining to the franchisee and the online people

        • +3

          wow i just showed the girl at the desk my order email the one with the order number i got straight after ordering and they checked their computer typing in my order number and they went and got my phones.

          @holden93: Well now I am really unimpressed by HN.
          Guess I'll go back for another go.
          Still haven't received the 2nd email.

  • Got welcome email after sign up, but where is the $5 code?

    • From previous comments I think it can take some time to appear, maybe a couple of hours or so.

      • +1

        Ah, doesn't come from account sign up, comes from separate newsletter sign up

          Register and you will get the code in an hour. I tried this morning.

        • How long did it took for yours to come through? Still waiting for mine.

        • +2

          about 30-45 mins

  • hey, anyone got a spare HN code?

        thanks only took 15-20 mins and i got one, coffee jitters

  • is the phone the same as kmart? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/188369

    • I think so, both locked to voda and similar price.seems voda is clearing the stock.

  • +2

    Got the welcomw code in about 1 hour, order on Y550 is placed. Save me a trip to Kmart and $9, thank you, TRENT86

  • +3

    I reckon this is the best price for Huawei Y550 so far. After unlocking it will still be under $50. What a great price for a 4G phone. Thanks TRENT86

  • I need a code as well, please share me one if u got one handy, thank you.

    • Unique codes these days

  • any code to share. sign-up for newsletter a couple of time previously with multile email acct but never received the code.

  • Thanks got 1

    DSE also have it for 49. Seems like Vodafone is clearing stock

    • +4

      The one i ordered off DSE came with $50 voda sim pack last week.
      (It didnt state it on the website)
      Kmart doesnt come with the $50stater sim pack.

  • do people buy multiples and resell? I guess i don't have the merchant spirit

    • +1

      I bought 3 to resell but I'm selling to anothershop that buys used and new phones and stuff they give a garrenteed price of $60. Im just not being greedy and buying lots .

      • +2

        I wasn't judging negatively, some people are just great at the buy and sell game

        • I know But still I try not to be greedy. And I didn't know how long it too for pick up as the place I sell will no doubt change price they give. Some time soon as I'm sure others will sell just like me to make some easy money.

      • +1

        Does this shop buy any new phone for $60 , or particular models only?

        • +1

          They set prices for every device and device condition .
          Googl. "Webuy" "cex"

  • Used an expired code from last Saturday and it still worked. Thanks Trent

    • So did I but from like a month ago.

    • My code was sent in November last year, but I didn't have anything to buy at the time. Luckily it still works. So try your old code if you have an unused one.

  • got 1. thanks op

    Wife's been complaining about her iPhone 3GS not working, but doesn't want a new phone. Bought this, we'll see if she'll use it. Can't go too wrong for $40…

    • +7

      Your wife deserves better

      • +8

        That's a little harsh, I'm sure Jonaseymour has some redeeming qualities.

        • I mean a better mobile phone, not a better husband. But I'm sure you already knew that :p

        • +2

          @raven2000: lol. Oh no doubt she deserves it. But as the good wife of an ozbargainer that she is she can't justify buying a new phone when the one she has 'works' (I use the term loosely, some of the screen has lost touch and the speakers are broken - and she can't put any new apps on it).
          I'd be happy buying a better more expensive phone, but she wouldn't let me.

          Either way I'll find a use for it, can't go too wrong for $40…

        • +2

          @Jonaseymour:
          Reading the description of your wife, it would seem that she is perhaps the true Ozbargainer in your house?

  • Website being ozbargain'd. QQ

    Website flooded

  • I was able to subscribe only from 10-th attempt.. I'll be waiting the code

  • Yeah. I kept getting error when attempting to subscribe

    • I got a generic error when I try to reuse my email address (which I have unsubscribed). Try a different one.

      • Thanks. Created a new email and finally worked. Guess my previous emails were used before lol

      Read the comments about the review however. Seems the review was very biased and not accounting for the price vs features

      • +2

        Well said. Was based on AU$200 +- outright unlocked and AU$99 Vodafone with some included credit. At $40-$49 this is a real bargain, especially if you get it with the $50 Voda Cap like some. I paid $89 for one and was very happy and impressed with it for that price, and I use a Nexus 4. It's has an average screen and different Huawei scin, but works well and fast. If you like to tinker you can play with Root and Boot Loader to shift some apps to SD for more flexible usability. There could even be a Lollipop in the pipeline if we're lucky that's stable.

      • Yeah this review looks closer to reality.

        Also 30 page thread on whirlpool full of people experiences with this phone.

        I can't see you finding anything as good as this for $40. Does that make a deal? Well I guess that is up for you to decide. :)

    The only bad thing is the screen. But not too bad.

    I've just paid for one of those huawei phones. If somebody needs a spare code - there is one (only for the first person who will use), as I received two… Welcome5J8FPJ9X9SQB8

      Thanks buddy. Used it. This will make a good phone for mum I think.

      • +2

        You're welcome. I've just received an email that my order is ready for pick-up. Likely the store is opposite to my workplace. I'll walk there during my lunch.

    I got Kmart to price match HN price, got 2, thanks Trent.

    • +2

      HN comes with $50 voda sim.
      Extra data?
      Resell?

    Hmm, my order went through with the delivery option. Delivery was free too. Did they goof up or will my order be cancelled?

    • +1

      delivery was free for me too

      • +1

        Just received a tracking no.

        Folks:

        It seems you can choose the delivery option for free even though it says it's not available.

  • +5

    I just picked up the three phones I ordered and on the label it says it have the Vodafone $50 prepaid SIM with it so that's pretty good value.

    • Have you got the confirmation invoice to pick up your order? I am still waiting for mine so I can pickup

      • I just went there and asked as someone told me to earlier on this post .

  • Lucky I checked Ozbargain before heading off to Kmart for the Huawei. Better price and my order is ready to pick up.

    Another code if somebody needs it, keeping to receive them in my email box..

    This price is just completely nuts! Going to buy it to root it, throw an SD card in it and away I go! All I need is 8GB of storage so can grab a card for $4.50. Awesome! Indestructible too!

    • +2

      Yep, seems like a great backup phone or one that can be used without the fear of breaking/scratching it.

    • Non gorilla glass screen is a little worrying but hopefully it lasts, just got one

  • +2

    sigh…. i bought 2x from Kmart when they opened this morning.
    should have bought this from HN as it seems to include $50voda sim pack!!

    • +1

      No starter pack at Kmart? DSE has the $50 starter also. Not sure about 3 months Spotify Premium.

  • Can you unlock the phone? Would like to use it with Vaya.

  • +4

    i actually use this as my primary phone..haha
    no problems with it for basic stuff..calls..whatsapp..a little browsing
    screen isn't thattttt bad!
    battery life is good

    • Does it play HD videos ok? I know it doesn't have the resolution, but does it play 780p videos without stopping?

      • i just tried a 1080p trailer in moboplayer on the phone..worked fine for me.
        no stuttering.

        • Oh thats great, 1080p wouldn't even play without stuttering on my iPhone 4!

    • ^^^ Agree with this ^^^ Edit: comment was for 4 comments up.

    Scored the Y550 phone for $30!

    Used my PayPal $10 credit from when they stuffed up the coupon from last week, as well as the $5 off coupon for signing up for the newsletter.
