I heard about this over the intercom while I was at work today so unfortunately I couldn't get many details on it but if someone could elaborate in the comments it would be great.

I'm guessing somewhat of a basic Nokia phone, not sure on the company the recharge is with though. I'm working tomorrow so I can check the deal and update accordingly during my break.

This was for Woolworths at Springwood. Not sure if it's available at other stores.

    dont you think this should of been posted in the forums, since there are plenty of details lacking?

    • bigosmallo on 12/03/2011 - 01:44

      Yep, I apologise for this but I should have more details in a few hours when I go into work.

      Mods, feel free to delete this if you feel that it would be better posted in the forums.

    Hmm I think I saw this in a catalogue. Not a fancy phone, but good enough for backup.

    yes i can confirm this, got one for my old man, model is Nokia 1616, basic phone no 3g/wifi/gps/touchscreen etc but it does have speakerphone and radio, it is a bargain because just yesterday i saw this exact phone in a phone shop was selling for $49 unlocked and that's with no calls included!

    It's a recharge with which network? Is the phone locked?

    • FOX on 12/03/2011 - 02:25

      Kinda sure it's locked to Vodafone so the usual rules apply: recharge over the value of $xxx or pay $xxx to get it unlocked~

  • Montaigne83 on 12/03/2011 - 07:17

    is it just at woolworths or can u get this at a vodafone store?

  • bobsi18 on 12/03/2011 - 08:57

    Based on that pic, I'm fairly sure it's the same phone that we bought as backups a couple of months back for about $40 or $50 (unlocked). Good little phone, easy enough to use and lightweight.

  • macfanboy on 12/03/2011 - 09:13

    Is this a $29 per month?
    It would be great if it were $29 for 365 day recharge as an emergency phone.

      I bet the first recharge runs out after a month. After that you may be able to switch to 365 day. Makes a great temp phone for a visitor, reli, etc. though.

  • lambsie on 12/03/2011 - 09:36

    Most stores have no stock by now.

    • bigosmallo on 13/03/2011 - 14:35

      Woolworths Springwood still has several boxes left. They sold about 15 yesterday.

  • [Deactivated] on 12/03/2011 - 13:54

    this is more expensive then $0 plan with caps?

  • JR63 on 12/03/2011 - 16:45

    A lot of stores in our area (North West Melbourne), ordered them a month or so ago, and many of them still haven't received stock. I spent 20 minutes calling about 7-8 stores for customers at work this morning that gave the same response.

  • justhooked on 12/03/2011 - 17:50

    just pick one up good spare phone as we all have vodafone at home

    I bought Nokia 1800, which is almost identical with this Nokia 1616, from Amazon China one month ago for about $29, unlocked. It has basic features that you would like a phone to have. I am pretty happy with the phone actually. Not sure about how Vodafone charges per minute for pre-paid card though.

    Hmm I'm still using a Nokia 8310 (from 2002) on a Telstra plan (non-contract). Would this be a worthwhile upgrade for me or not?

  • Windows7forever on 13/03/2011 - 16:41

    I bought this same phone from K-Mart for $29 recently. Very reliable, long battery life and simple to use mobile!
