    Thanks OP, wish it was the 128gb model!

      Is this phone better than the two cans and string model I'm currently using? Mine has a maximum storage of 1.2kgs.

    • HeWhoKnows on 10/08/2023 - 07:58

      DO NOT BUY ANY ALEGRE PHONE!

      1.Alegre who sell this phone do not honor the warranty or support the products they sell. They are very shonky!
      2 Used iPhone XR commonly sell for $220-$250 so that is the RRP. And last year Coles were selling these for $259. And earlier this year for $299. See here
      https://www.gadgetguy.com.au/cheap-iphones-coles-boost-mobil…
      Hence Its not the great discount that is advertised. Its actually a huge CON-JOB!
      3. These have absolutely nothing to do with Boost other than having a Boost SIM card included. They are not ex-Boost AU mobile phones - so false and misleading advertising
      4.I bought one of these last year and it had a faulty camera and screen had lots of scratches. Alegre refused to replace it
      5. A friend bought one and battery was only 80%. It needed replacing and Alegre refused to replace it.
      6. As per points 3 and 4 these are not refurbished at all. They are just "wiped clean" and placed in a nice box. (see 7 )
      7. As per points 4,5,6 there is no 72 point inspection or refurbishment at all. So its false and misleading advertising
      8. These are US model so dont fully cover all the Australian bands (some are missing). Thats not disclosed either! Shonky as!

      I cannot emphasize any more. STAY RIGHT AWAY!

      • BushwickBill on 10/08/2023 - 17:07

        Dodged a bullet it seems.

        Got the order confirmation email but according to Coles no order exists… Even with the order #.

        Can't reorder because there's an "I.T issue with my Coles plus account"

        Massive Debacle. Massive Gronks. Bad PR.

        Edit: Alegre means "happy" in Portuguese. Sounds like the only Alegre ones would be the owners of the company.

      • dan0909 on 10/08/2023 - 20:14

        Thank you.

      • OldDiver on 10/08/2023 - 23:15

        Can confirm that the unit I received is an ex AT&T model which DOESN'T have band 28.
        Model Number MT3M2LL/A which is the A1984 version. Australian/Global version is A2105
        So not much use in regional Australia, might be OK in the major cities but most of the other bands are being converted to 5G
        Will spend a day or 2 to see what reception I get in 3141 but it's probably going back or being traded

        • HeWhoKnows on 11/08/2023 - 08:20
          -1

          yep
          Just like I said
          Suggest you thoroughly test out EVERYTHING
          Check battery health too

          Good luck

        • rpb on 15/08/2023 - 11:44

          Wow, I got a MT3M2LL/A. I would never have expected to get an "IPHONE XR BLACK 64GB AT&T-USA" ("iPhone XR 64GB Black Cellular [A1984] [iPhone11,8]") when buying a phone in Australia.

          Luckily my father in law, who I bought it for, stays in the city but yeah this is really poor form from Alegre, Boost (for associating with them) and Coles.

          All that took the shine off things :(

        • Ryanemo on 13/08/2023 - 09:26

          I have had 7 years out of my $29.99 phone and its still going. 4G eats battery quick, 3g far superior.

    Looks like it would stack with "4,000 bonus Flybuys points for all online shops over $180"

      Rookie numbers. CeX is offering $228 so you can literally make free money 😂
      https://au.webuy.com/product-detail/?id=sappixr64gbunlb&cate…

      Also just realised it may stack with the 4000 points promo. That's $50 of arbitrage ($20 of points and $30 trade in)

      • TEER3X on 09/08/2023 - 20:16
        +16

        No, they have to be brand new sealed in the box, with receipt and a personal warranty

      • Ibz on 10/08/2023 - 00:07
        +1

        Of course. They don't know if they're refurb or not. They just inspect the phone and run some basic tests against it. If it meets the A tier, you get the most money. Then it goes down to B, C, F etc depending on the condition of the phone. You could trade in at jb, officeworks, or CeX but in my experience CeX has given the most without promos. Jb is good when they do the bonus $500 trade in so that could be worth waiting for for you.

        Fyi
        A - Mint: Product in mint/new condition with original box and all original accessories.

        B - Good: Working product in good cosmetic condition without charger.

        C - Working: Working product in poor cosmetic condition without charger.

        F - Non-Working

        • GoldStar on 09/08/2023 - 19:09

            @GoldStar:

            Offer valid after savings and discounts and excludes all gift cards, iTunes cards, Coles Best Buys Online Exclusive products,

    No way to pick colour.

    Can't seem to get rid of $1.5 paper bag option, so final cost is $200.50.

    • haydent on 09/08/2023 - 15:44

      From my other orders the bag charge gets removed in the final total (once they pack and deliver)

      • io on 09/08/2023 - 21:18

        So once they pack and deliver, the bag fee is returned?

  • impoze on 09/08/2023 - 15:43

    so $179 after 4000 flybuys points, and another 10% (ex. GST) if using westpac shopback for new customer

      Also the base is 10% cashback if placing order as new Coles customers too

    Value for money king , iPhone XR is basically the godfather of the current lineup. Same dimensions, LCD screen which isn’t bad and a still banging cpu.

    • taki on 10/08/2023 - 10:21

      TCL 20 R 5G is far better in all specs & I only pay 0.84 / mth with 5G 10x faster USB-C, micro-SD for say 1/2TB extra storage, 3.5mm audio, case, charger, earphones… all provided & NEW :)
      Don't even try to say iOS is better as I use smartphones since 2001 & I use max of their features (in IT for >40y)

      • stephendt on 11/08/2023 - 09:50

        USB C port is 2.0, not 3.0, same as the iPhone XR. Not that you should be using it for a tonne of data transfer. The iPhone also has a faster CPU and better software support, unlike the TCL which has been left behind and gets basically zero updates.

        That said the TCL definitely has advantages, and I would prefer it as well, but be careful with your statements as they are not 100% correct.

  • reddead2067 on 09/08/2023 - 15:44

    • theMoebius on 09/08/2023 - 16:12

      That was my experience on several previous attempts to get a refurb iPhone from Coles - eventually gave up as it was a waste of time.

      Seems like their online process has no visibility of store stock, and they only confirm availability just before your nominated collection window. I called round a few stores who advised they never had any stock, and there doesn't appear to be any way of centrally checking beforehand.

    • craigoss on 09/08/2023 - 18:35
      +1

      I got jerked around by Coles a week or two back when I bought the SE. The store I ordered from didn't get any stock but they didn't notify me until they went to pick the order. I ended up ordering from another store but bought it instore before the pickup time. Later that day they canceled the online order because I had bought the last one. Moral is they don't let you know they don't have stock until its time to pick and they don't put your order aside and it can be bought by anyone instore before your pickup time.

    from previous deal, battery health ranges from 80-90%

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/722241

    From the phone and warranty supplier Alegre - "If your battery is draining fast or showing battery service with lower than 80% battery capacity, swollen/overheating, dead, not charging, or has an error in battery meter reading, you may return the device for an assessment as long as the device did not suffer any physical or liquid damage.

    Please note to keep a copy of your receipt to lodge a warranty claim.".

    • rustyshackleford on 09/08/2023 - 23:11

        It means a phone that you jailbreak/install locating-spoofing software on so you can fool the 7/11 App "Fuel Lock" function and thus obtain petrol from your local 7/11 at a price being offered in a favourable location

        Eastern states mate. They dont realise 7/11 doesnt exist in some parts of the country.

        7/11 have a fuel price match (so you use a location spoofer (ie. Fly out in the chopper) to get the price match, then take it to your nearest for a price match.

        I think won't be until after pick up/delivery until you get the base points. As for bonus 2k points, T&Cs of the promo state that "Flybuys points will be attributed to the linked Flybuys household member account at time of qualifying order(s) within 2 weeks of the promotional end date."

        So within 2 weeks of 15 August 2023

    How would this compare to the Oppo X5 Lite? Step down or step up?
