Prepaid Boost LG L40 - $9 at Big W

670

There's a lot of deal's up on here lately for cheap phones. Think the cheapest I've seen is the Boost Luna for 19 a while back. 9 bucks for that Telstra Lite dumbphone is nice, but this tops it for me, especially since it comes with 10 bucks credit, effectively making the phone free if you were intending on joining Boost. Never mind, apparently the 9 buck Telstra Lite comes with $15 credit, meaning 9 for 15 leaves you getting the phone for negative 6 bucks, instead of 9 for this, with 10 credit, meaning the phone is negative 1 bone. Go buy the other phone and save another 5 bones!

This doesn't seem to be a catalogue item. I asked the girl at the register and she said it wasn't a clearance item, assumed it to be part of this week's catalogue despite not being mentioned, so I'd not be surprised if it's gone back up to full price next Wednesday. Eastland had 20 odd of them in the back, and Lilydale (my other local) had 6 when I rang to check. It's probably worth phoning your local before heading in though.

Also, there's two colors available, black and white. Take that, Telstra Lite, with your one color choice.

    Haven't Seen this Listed Online …..

  • Any stock in WA?

  • Went to Box Hill in VIC, and were all out of stock, but gave me a kuta for the same price.

    • Nice, a cheap 4" phone beats a cheap 3.5" phone.

      Box Hill are the best for stuff like that in my experience. They were the one Big W in the suburbs that were willing to do the 250 iPhone SE last year for me.
