    Prepaid mobile so most likely locked to Telstra. Alcatel usually requires hardware unlockers.

  How much does it cost to unlock it?

    avoid this. $30 or something. and most importantly, after sim unlock, you still need hardware unlock…

    The 3G warning is general - to sell these 4G phones. So irrelevant to this Deal.

    Reported to be removed from Deal Description.

    Message from Mods was that 4G band information on Telstra site may be incorrect for this model. May actually be 3G - as discussed in earlier Deal

  how do you get the bloatware off these phones as with the endless play updates you run out of space…? then there is the issue of not being able to move apps onto an expansion sdcard.

    I have a different Alcatel model, Optus, and I am able to move app on the micro sd card I added.

      What model Alcatel do you have and what version of Android do you currently run?

        It’s A3 with Android 6. These Alcatel never really update

  Where's the fingerprint scanner on this phone? I can't see it anywhere.
