[Freight Forwarder] AT&T Nokia Lumia 640 LTE Black Unlockable US $79 from Microsoft US Store

Moved to Forum: Original Link

I saw this on Slickdeals, thought I would give it a go. I remember the US Microsoft store rejected my payment before, but this time I paid via PayPal and was accepted.

Shipping will be around US$30 depends on which forwarder you use. Because of the crap AUD rate at the moment total will be ~ AU$150, but consider this is free unlockable instantly still not a bad deal for a nice phone.
Will be a good backup phone or a test device for Windows 10 Mobile preview.

    Great deal. However while this one is unlockable, I think you can get it $169 prepaid on any of our three carriers.
