Hi Everyone,
Starting Thurs 9th July Coles will Have A Motorola L156 Handset on Sale For only $10 If You Buy a $35 virgin recharge card. Its a basic phone from what i can see but for $10 its a handy back up phone. The catalogue will be out soon.
P.S I will try to upload the catologue tonight. Cheers
can recharge be used for broadband?
my understanding is that it can, it becomes a prorata recharge…
There does not seem to be an L156, it might be W156:

I can't find the deal in the catalogue… maybe not in VIC?
shame I'd be mildly interested seeing as the other half needs a cheap phone and I need more credit lol
I'm not certain but current catalogue is supposed to expire tomorrow so you might want to check out after.
Can confirm this deal is on their latest catalogue.
Yes, it is now!
(Go the Power) :+)
Its a W156 (not L156). The phone by itself is $45 at Coles (so the $35 recharge is free depending on how you view things), some other stores charge more then $45 (see http://www.getprice.com.au/Motorola-W156-Mobile-Phone.htm).
It has a grey scale screen, power adapter with a Mini USB connector (states USB charging via a PC is not supported) with a 940maH battery. The Keyboard is blue backlighted.
The manual MAKES no mention of a FM radio (nor in the specs or menu navigation layout in the manual). There is a earphone socket but it came with no headphones (normal ones don't fit in (so not 3.5mm, maybe 2.5mm)).
The piece of cardboard stuck on it by Virigin states "FM Radio, Alarm clock & Calendar, pre-loaded games".
The wesbite (http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/details.jsp?globalO…) states: "Take music with you with a built-in FM radio with stereo support and enhanced FM radio UI (W160 only)" & "Carry your music with you by listening to FM radio (W160 only-optional headphones required) on your mobile device through stereo or through speakerphone." I can confirm no headphone are supplied. There is physically a headphone socket on the W156.
Phone is locked with Virgin Mobile ("can be released after rtopping up with $80 on your new service").
