    When it would start in Au time?
    Previously these phone are just toys for people because they can't be unlocked. Is the change to do with the new legislation?

        Do you mean 6pm AEDT (Sydney time)? So 1.5 hours from now?

        Because the slickdeals post says 3am eastern time in US and it's 1:30am there now I think.

    There are two models of the Lumia 635 according to http://www.gsmarena.com
    Nokia Lumia 635 RM-974 - international model
    Nokia Lumia 635 RM-975 - USA, North America

    This one selling is supposed to be the US model thus its 3G and 4G band will not be very compatible to our frequency:

    3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 - RM-974
    HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - RM-975
    4G bands LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600 (Bands 3, 7, 20) - RM-974
    LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 (Bands 2, 4, 5, 7, 17) - RM-975

    So the price is very attractive but it can not be used as a primary 4G device in Australia even if it is unlocked.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2015 - 16:42

      Damn gotta have that sweet 1800

      EDIT: I just entered [star]3001#12345#[star] into my iPhone and apparently I'm connected to Telstra 4G on channel 28 - 700 Mhz

      So maybe it's okay?

      • assailantsky on 13/03/2015 - 16:52

        Each user's mileage would vary I think, Vodafone only have 1800 4G at the moment

        • UnciasDream on 13/03/2015 - 17:43

          Vodafone also has 850 4G now.

      • claud0902 on 13/03/2015 - 16:55

        That is why the device is only partially compatible to our LTE.

        Note that the 3G bands is also not very compatible to ours. You might occasionally only have your phone on 2G/GSM network…

        • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2015 - 16:57
          +2

          Yeah you do really need 1800. Anything outside of that is as clear as mud as to which bands are in use.

          Are you sure it will work? Telstra 4GX and Optus 4G at 700mhz is band 28, there is also another 700mhz band 17 which is not compatible as far as I know.

          LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600
          (Bands 2, 4, 5, 7, 17) - RM-975

        Telstra launched their 4GX on 700MHz and 2600MHz start of this year (in addition to original 4G bandwidth at 1800Mhz).

        Apparently optus also now supports the above bandwidths.

        As for Vodafone, no luck, only 1800Mhz.

        Ymmv indeed.

    • assailantsky on 13/03/2015 - 16:50

      Good if you want to use it for a US trip, but not very good for 4G in Aus as its missing the 1800 that the 3 majors have for 4G.

  • Mister Plod on 13/03/2015 - 16:29

        Mark my Words you wont get unlocks done with creating a prepaid account out of the sim that you get, I had already tried that way with the 520 (in 2013) and 635 (in 2014)

    This will NOT have LTE in Australia. It does not support the mainstream 4G networks in Australia which are 1800mhz.

    In addition it does NOT support 700mhz 4G in Australia. While this phone has 4G support for 700mhz this is a different band of 700mhz to Telatras 4GX and Optus's 4G+ bands.

        Yes band 28!!! According to the link above that post it says this phone supports 2,4,5,7,17.

        How can people not read???

        • netsurfer on 13/03/2015 - 21:25
          +1

          The biggest issue is actually unlocking the phone (give the provided link a try, read the conditions). AT&T won't unlock it unless you are a real/legit prepaid customer for 6 months or more.

          So, the reality is you cannot even use it as a phone, not even 2G.

          Anyway, for $38 USD, if it could be unlocked for free (which is not the case), then with just 3G, it would be more than fine. However, it is basically a Windows Phone 8 version of an iPod Touch, except it has GPS.

        • netsurfer on 14/03/2015 - 05:58

      Its been pretty cheap before. I picked one up for $80 from DSE, I am currently waiting six months to get Voda to unlock it more cheaply.

      • jdf on 14/03/2015 - 20:22

        @paizuri, how much are they charging to unlock it?

        • cannedhams on 16/03/2015 - 04:03

          75 for first six months 25 thereafter.

        • jdf on 16/03/2015 - 18:29

    If people are buying this. Please assume that it can't be unlocked. This way you won't be disappointed in case it turns out the ATT free unlock doesn't work.

    Personally, I bought one. If it doesn't unlock and can't be used as a phone here, I will use it as a mp3/media player. Or give it to my relatives in the states, since they use ATT over there.

      Most of the cheap unlock services may not be able to unlock AT&T Prepaid ones with IMEI starting with certain digits.
      The ones who can will charge a lot (more than the cost of the phone).

    Great, got it for my planned two trips to the USA next year. Will be good to download maps and load music before I leave and know I can just take it with me and not have to go to a phone store when I get there.

    A$49 looks competitive for a mid range prepaid smart phone in the US.

    Shame I can't just take my current phone and buy a sim, but looks like the USA has their own bands for phones.
