Boost Kuta Prepaid Mobile $19 save $40 at woolworths, confirmed in VIC not sure on other states.
3.5" Display
1.2ghz Dual Core Processor
2MP Rear camera
On the boost network but should also work with Telstra sims. Possibly aldi too since Telstra?
Couldn't find any info online but seems a pretty good deal. In the latest wooliee catalgoue.
EDIT:
The Boost Kuta is the ZTE T230. Detailed specs are here -> http://www.ztemobiles.com.au/B792.htm
Thanks to WorldClasMiser
Should be starting tommorow?
Thanks. Mixed it up with another phone….
and wat did you get?
Great price, if still expensive you can buy a potato
It's in my NSW catalogue. Not sure whether it is worth the money, however. This matches the specs on a $60 Huawei I bought for my daughter 3.5years ago. And that phone was pretty slow then!
Don't like Kuta, do they have the Boost Ubud?
Not that I'm aware of at Woolies on sale.. Wasn't it the catalogue.
I know they sold out of the Boost Seminyak last year.
Thanks, I've added it to the description.
It's not actually a T230, it's has ZTE B792 written on the back. ZTE seem to have either made a mistake with the photo, or they are selling numerous models and calling them the Kuta. I bought the Boost Kuta for my Dad today and it's completely different to the photos on the ZTE website. CPU-Z confirms the specs are similar though.
It's a very good phone for $19, and was much easier to set up than most other mobiles as it had no pre-installed crapware. Facebook and Twitter were pre-installed but not set to load at start-up, and could be fully uninstalled. Anything Google can be disabled via Apps. Has some of the best pre-installed ring-tones I've ever heard.
That looks to be a totally different phone (??)
Can this be used overseas?
yes provided
1. you unlock the phone (check ebay - link below)
2. mobile network of the country you are visiting supports one of the below network bands
from the specifications - http://www.ztemobiles.com.au/B792.htm
3G 850, 900, 2100 MHz
GSM 900, 1800, 1900 MHz

@akanie:
either of the above posted ebay links should provide an unlock code for your device. contact the seller(s) first and make sure the phone is supported. if the code does not work, ask for a refund.

Kuta, kuta, kuta, cooter, cooter, cooter …
512MB RAM means it's pretty much unuseable due to constantly running out of memory.
Feature phones work better at making calls and playing media from sd card and are a better buy for 20 bucks IME.
I'm not sure this Boost phone is the ZTE T230. They look to be 2 totally different phones.
The phone comes with a $10 pre paid sim, and it works with telstra sim cards.
Wonder if it would work with an Aldi SIM; possibly not. Would be a cheap spare phone.
worked with a telstra one.
Doesn't have LED status light. What a crap
I'm amazed with all the limitations of this $19 phone, lack of an LED is the thing that bothers you!
I would only use it for calls and messaging. Can't imagine how you can call and message without LED.
It's only good as a toilet phone for watching youtube
I've tried 5 stores in Brisbane with no stock available in any and 2 of them stating they never received the phones.
Next call may be to the ACCC.
ooh.. it is too late, the deal has just gone…
Expires tonight.
