Congrats with baby!! And the post
Congrats! I did a quick google of the A19.. Is it correct it has 8gb ram?
Suggest get A18, A19 is not good
Thanks… Looks like the a12 only 4gb
Even so it's inaccurate. I was going to post this but I went to three different Woolies in Sydney and all didn't have stock
Yeppers, this. I rang all the places anywhere near my suburb here in VIC that 'apparently' had stock according to that online stock checker thingy; but none of them actually had stock.
I couldn't imagine wasting time looking for a phone that's out dated , and not particularly good ! Original post bought three , he's clearly not thinking straight.
This was over a span of a month and going to Woolworths that were along the way back home as well as needing to run errands while I was out.
They bought four :-)
Maybe their needs are different. YMMV.
Out of stock at Thornleigh (NSW).
partner just had baby, still makes time to ozb. well done and congrats.
Definitely has his priorities right.
I wonder if OP feels a tinge of guilt. Cheating with OzB. The infidelity!! Scandalous!
Congratulations..
Says unavailable for me. Think that’s for whole of WA as no option to change stores.
Ps great find OP!!
There is stock in St George Terrace and Highgate when I entered postcode 6000
Ah typical the link went to the iOS app and no option to select a store. Thanks for that 👍🏽
None in Highgate. And she is sick of people asking 🙂
@bargaino: .. you are right.
Just called. No stock.
.. you are also right.
She is sick of people asking.
she is sick of people asking 🙂
Lol I don't care about the phone but feel like calling her for the lulz
@montorola: Well, I may have made that up for dramatic effect. She was quite good humoured about it.
@bargaino: It's ok I'm gonna ask her on a date and get her to enter her number into my new Samsung Galaxy A12 😎
None St George's Terrace
Website says Belmont had stock, went there immediately around 4.45pm.
Guy says system shows 1, but couldn't find it. Ah well
Nothing really stops staff from hiding 1 for themselves imo …
The stock check is not reliable.
18th birthday present for your baby is sorted.
Hands are full, partner literally had a baby last night
…girl said it was nationwide
Congratulations on your baby girl. Incredible she is talking already.
First words were Get the (profanity) down to Woolworths NOW, Daddy… followed by a lot of crying after he left
$30 recharge as well bundle. I found stock but to conflicted on whether I'll be able to get there in time. Would be $9 with my $10 off next shop too.
Where did u find stock?
Nice try
Congratulations on the baby!
Unlocking fees
Prepaid Mobile Phone / Broadband
Have you recharged your service to a minimum / accumulated amount of $80.00?
Note. If you have a saved payment method with us, this can be used during the checkout process. Otherwise we'll send you an Optus PayID for payment in your banking app.
May differ if you actually chat to them, and depends who you get. I literally just received the unlock code for an Optus X View 8500t that I bought a few years back for $10 and didn’t have to pay anything.
Decided to finally unlock it to use with the numerous boost cash back offers as a spare phone.
I've only had experience with unlocking telstra phones, but older phones they're usually more likely to just unlock it for free.
Might see if the local woolies still has stock in the morning
Can the discounted prepaid sims sold at Coles/Woolworths count toward the $80 recharge? I suppose that's a no?
I seem to recall that by law in Australia the relevant company is obliged to provide you with an unlocking code for free after you have had the phone for 1 year.
Do you have details of this? i.e. link to where this is written?
If you ring up Telstra or Optus, they will confirm it for you.
@GnarlyKnuckles: Not the answer I was expecting. As you referenced Australian Law I expected you had written evidence to shows this.
@[Deactivated]: I have read the relevant law, and I remember approximately what it states. Searching for that law is now tedious because searches that include 'unlock' and 'phone' are now flooded with query returns about the right of the Australian Federal Police to force a person to 'unlock' (as in, open) their phone for them (i.e., a different subject entirely). I'm sure if you tried hard enough for long enough though, you could locate the relevant law. What would be much quicker for you though, would be to simply call any major telco and get them to personally verify that they will unlock a phone for you for free if you can prove to them that you bought it more than a year ago; hence the advice I gave you.
Getting back to the actual law, it refers to the buyer having possessed the phone for 'a reasonable amount of time' before they are entitled to have it unlocked for free by the telco that sold it to them, locked. It seems that the major telcos operating in Australia are united in their interpretation of the words 'reasonable amount of time' in this context as equating to 1 year.
Thanks for the neg by the way! No good deed goes unpunished I suppose …
@GnarlyKnuckles: You may want to point your finger elsewhere as I didn't neg you, just wanted to see the Legislation you were referring to.
"the right of the Australian Federal Police to force a person to 'unlock' (as in, open) their phone for them (i.e., a different subject entirely)."
This one is interesting. Can you provide the link to this Legislation?
@[Deactivated]: The more I try to provide helpful information the more I seem to be getting negged in this particular dialogue A9, so I'll hang up my hat on this one I guess.
That said, you could consult section 3LA (6) of the Crimes Act 1914.
'Section 3LA gives law enforcement officers the power to compel a person to reveal their private encryption keys and PINs or passwords, enabling the officers to access information held on a computer for the purpose of investigating and prosecuting a computer related offence.
Precedent indicates that 'smart' phones (and perhaps any mobile phone) fall within the legal definition of a computer, though I have not personally read that definition. Failure to comply with a law enforcement officer’s request to unlock your phone is evidently punishable by a gaol sentence of up to 6 months. I guess the obvious defences would be:
@GnarlyKnuckles: Thanks for the additional details
If anyone is interested, here is the link to the legislation
http://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/UQLawJl/2004/1.pdf
This article helps explain a real world case in laymen's terms
https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2022/07/data-access-order-police/
Additional defences may include
4. I thinks it 0000
5. Try any prime number divided by 98462
6. When you hit me in the head, its affected my memory
7. Call the NSA, I think they already have a copy
8. I sent a copy to your wife last week, maybe ask her
May as well pay a few $ for an unlock code so you can start chasing cheap SIM deals.
Congratulations!
Baby to be named Sammy Eneloop Oz Baggins
my precious!
Already taken. That's my kid's name
Grabbed the last four at Morwell
I'm thinking Broden Jnr.
Can you do a click and collect?
No I think it would have started 9 months ago. Maybe Google it.
Lol.
The letters c and l next to each other look a lot like a d.
Which means click and collect looks a lot like..
Does this one works with amaysim(using optus network)?
Typically, yes.
Please name baby Sam, middle name Sung in response to this deal.
Best I can do, other options were OP Tus which is just insulting or Wool Worths .. also not great.
What about Gal, like Gal Gadot?
Except middle name will be Axy, which is cool.
I can't actually find the AU version of this for sale online anywhere… would have loved to do a 28 degrees price protection claim
Bought one for $95 from Target on clearance last week. There wasn't much stock around so didn't post.
Hopefully can go get one tommorow, couple stores in the area with stock according to Woolies website.
Things don't last long when posted on ozbargain. It's a case of now you see it, now you don't.
True ozbargainer - never misses spotting a deal . Upvote just for that thought . More importantly - Congratulations ! on the occasion .
Grabbed the last four
One for dad, one for mum, one for baby, and a spare?
Four for Gumtree
Oh so he's pulling a Broden?
Broden doesn’t get out of bed for less than double figures
Watch the gumtree ebay and fb get flooded with this phone. Scalpers market.
Well, no NFC. So it pays to miss out on this deal. I mean, doesn’t pay. I think
In Stock at Thornleigh Store
261 Pennant Hills Road, NSW

Stock levels inaccurate. Say in stock, stores have none
Scream at the employees as you wave your phone erratically — YOU’RE LYING!
Congratulations!
Highett OOS
In Melb: Ashwood, Glen Waverley, Waverley Gardens, The Glen, Keysborough, Cranbourne North, Broadmeadows showing stock
Anyone had success at any of these stores?
Going to ring the Glen tmr and ask
I have a feeling they would get cleaned out tonight if they have any stock
None at Keys.
Site said they had it in stock, went and none to be found.
Same
Same
congrats mate!
Fyi regardless of what the site says there's no stock at Mawson or Erindale, ACT. And hi to the OzB user trying to cuck my in-store presence by calling up and asking for them to check and hold. Lazy!
Maybe they were on the phone as they desperately sprinted in wearing their Ultraboosts?
stock showing in WA only at Highate and st Georges Terrace online, called Highgate and the girl immediately knew there was no stock.. 💀
apparently st Georges Terrace Woolworths do not answer their phone..
Forget wa I tried this weeks before Xmas a few stores showed stock and fist store we tried closest had. Went to pick up and yes was going to be a Xmas gift for son. When I went there the packing was bust open SIM card removed no protector on screen and the pin to eject sim car holder missing obviously someone either returned it or maybe wanted something out of it.
I said to manager this is Xmas gift and nobody told me it was open possible used what if it’s not working? So he called several stores closer to him nobody had it.
In the end he have it to me for nothing or should I say refunded as I only noticed as I was going out Woolworths door it was opened etc.
I tried to get another called and tried several stores all saying none so gave up in the end.
But I fixed up box etc and made it look like new for son. Works great and no issues with it.
None at Officer Arena :)
None at the Glen, Woolworths
Just left Glen. None as staff bought them.
wow + congratulations!
