It's locked to Vodafone but can be unlocked for $50 or $25 if you wait 6 months after purchasing the phone. You could also buy an unlock code from ebay which works according to manic. Comes with a $40 Vodafone sim card.

If anyone has any questions about the phone, my review is here:
I Need to learn to click links then ask questions.
Thanks for the review.
Got one last time around. For the price it is great phone.
Can this be used as personal wifi hotspot?
Can I use Kogan-branded SIM (Voda network)?
Check previous deals on this phone but I seem to remember someone saying they used kogan in it without unlocking. All android phones from the last few years have personal hotspot.
Can confirm this works with Lebara without unlocking. I guess the same for Kogan
Thanks
Can confirm it works with Kogan without unlocking.
@littlepcat: Does it support carrier aggregation fo faster then 50mbs speed? Moto G5 plus doesn't for Kogan mobile.
Please do a speedtest.net test.
Unlock codes on eBay seem to go for around $12. Solid price for a decent spec phone.
If you go on Vodafone live chat they will usually give you a free unlock code.
I've had success with 2 prepaid Vodafone phones this year.
Do you have a link for Vodafone live chat? I tried searching but no luck.
You have to go to the Vodafone contact page. After some time a live chat widget should appear. If not, scroll up and down the page and also refresh the page.
ebay unlock works.
Great burner/backup phone.
Could someone please tell me if this phone’s language can be changed to Japanese?
Doesn't look like it. Went to languages. No 'japanese' between I and K. Scrolled down the bottom to where there were some languages in non English characters. None were Japanese as far as I could tell.
Can we use it with Vodafone overseas simcard without unlocking?
Nope
Haven't tried for a few years now but if u ring the Telco (Vodafone in this case) & tell them u need to use the phone O/S, they will usually oblige & unlock it for you…
Possibly same deal as this. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/405561.
Some stores ran out of stock and couldn't be ordered online thus the expired.
That is correct, the deal was marked expired as they ran out of stock ran than the deal's date expiring.
My deal's original expiry date was 25th Dec as shown by the yellow tag.
Just beware the disclaimer at the bottom of the page …
"ingredients do change from time to time this is only intended as a guide and you should check before consuming."
Damn. Was hoping tomorrow's lunch was sorted with this.
been that price since mid July…
Have an upvote anyway OP..!
Actually, they went up to 119 two weeks ago with that special mobile brochure.
I might get this to use as a dedicated audio book player.
how does this compare to the A12 chip
It has Ray Tracing whereas the A12 does not.
Have been waiting for RT'ing on a mobile for a long time now. Makes all the difference when sms'ing someone
Oh yes, you will see the superior performance of initiating a call over an EGDE network when RT is enabled. Truly mind-blowing.
But only if you add Nvidia’s RTX 2080 card.
Does it not come built in?
It has wallet overheating protection.
Looking for a phone around this price for my 7yr old. She just wants it to play games. Would this phone be a good choice or is the other phones to be considered? Thanks in advance
This would be more than enough. You could also get the $49 Telstra phone with free Google Home.
Android games don't generally strain a phone as much as web browsing does. Just don't expect it to do VR well.
I bought one for my 10yo last time it was on special. Yes, she plays Roblox and everything else she's into just fine. It's a great unit.
This phone can be updated to android 8.0 through OTA, FYI.
A Pie update was also announced for the 3 but no date given.
I love pie.
Eastern suburbs Sydney stores don't seem to have any. I could be wrong though, sometimes they can't be bothered searching for them when you ask.
No stock
Can be bought online for click and collect.
I bought this last time for the wife. Obviously nowhere near as good as the Xiaomi stuff. For some reason chrome runs very slowly, Firefox is much better. It's an okay phone for the price.
It it better than huawai? I bought a Y6 and it lasted 3 weeks before it died. (Got a refund thankfully). I bought one of these hoping it’s better build
50 cents cheaper = 50 votes upper
same phone @ $90 (Target) https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/422129
58 now. We should get researches on Ozbargain to see how people behave.
Can someone please tell me if Pokemon Go can be installed on this phone? The game is very picky about phones and models it works on. Thx.

Earlier in the thread StrayfireX posted a review with this phone and Pokemon. Worked OK but a little bit of lag.
Thank you, will have a read now.
I wouldn't advise installing it http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/techandscience/man-has-leg-amp…
As they say; don't drink and drive, so don't play and walk.
One more question please, will this have better performance/battery/screen than an old Samsung Galaxy S5, same, or worse?
Worse raw performance, better software performance.
Battery would be way better on this than a old dead small battery in a power hungry Samsung.
As for the screen, the S5 new would be night and day better, though AMOLED can get pretty bad over time, so if its had long hours on high and serious burn in, maybe its not so good anymore.
Its still a $90 phone, it was never high-end so its cheap components.
Would you prefer a 2018 $14k new car? Or a 2003 Performance BMW? Depends on so many things, they arent even close to being the same thing….
You can get it on eBay from Target with additional eBay 5% off plus cash-back if click&collect is not available in your area for the phone. Free shipping if you have eBay plus.

Only available in store at Target now.
Spoke to my local store and they said they had 5 on order due in on 12 December, might pay to check with your local next week to see if they get stock in.
Check if you got email from gumtree. They are giving $20 off when buying on ebay. It is also free shipping from Target.
In stock at stores but the price went back up to $179
