      How about free if you've already recharged.

      "Provided that you've recharged your Prepaid service to a minimum/accumulated amount of $80.00 there is no fee, otherwise a fee of $25 will apply to unlock your handset regardless of the amount you've already recharged."

        Do you know once this phone is unlocked, does it work for the Telstra 3G 850mHz or is that software locked still. I read somewhere that you can unlock that band somehow with software code or maybe needing to root etc.

        @ozhunter68:

        I'm not aware of individual band locks. This is the first I'm hearing of it. I'm no expert. All I can tell you is I tested my unlock with a Telstra prepaid sim and was able to call the phone. I believe all that is offered here is a network unlock. Store rep can correct me if I'm wrong.

        @ozhunter68: Most optus prepaid aren't supporting 850Mhz so they will not work with Telstra network

  Actually hard to find a cheap easy unlock code for the Alcatel Pop 4 5" Optus Prepaid version.

  Can anyone help find unlock code please.

      I had my prepaid Optus Pop 4 5" bought from a deal listed here unlocked by Optus and Alcatel and all it required was a code. Took a few phone calls as Optus lost my request at first and took a further 2 weeks to process it, but that's Optus.

        Could you please explain the steps to do this?

        @ozhunter68:

        1. Spend $80 on recharges.
        2. Ring Optus. Ask them to unlock.
        3. They send a message to Alcatel.
        4. You get the code in email and instructions to unlock. (Basically just put a different network sim in the phone and it prompts for teh code).

        Takes a couple of weeks to get your code. Or over a month in my case because they failed to send the request the first time.

        @syousef:

        Thanks for help. I was aware how to get Optus to unlock once you spend $80 or more, but read in an early Pop 4 5" Optus prepaid special post that someone was able to get Alcatel to unlock phone from the get go ( I think if I remember correctly ). Optus specs say only 900/2100MHz but GSMArena states 850/900/1800/1900MHz , so not sure which is correct. Optus does not always list correct specs/bands as they do not want people to switch providers.
