    anyone know if the $50 starter sims have an expiry date?

  • Axelstrife on 03/04/2015 - 04:56

    Trent The Telstra Tempo is now showing page not found so i assume they removed it.

  • CatmanAU on 03/04/2015 - 07:05

    Have bought codes from mobunlockingmaster, and he keeps stuffing things up. Yesterday first email from him said one could not be found, second email had only half of one of the codes in it. Today a third email with codes for two IMEI's I never requested, and still missing one.

    So spent the extra dollar and go with bag_man = no hassles.

    • ozhunter68 on 04/04/2015 - 01:10

      Quoting previous feedback from another happy customer :

      I ordered an unlock code from an eBay seller with good rep, and I had the code back in like 5 mins after ordering!

      I used this seller to unlock

      • happychappy1 on 04/04/2015 - 01:55

        I got my code in about half an hour so so. They actually provided 4 separate codes and I had to search which one it was - luckily I got it right on the first try.

        • ozhunter68 on 04/04/2015 - 11:37

          Great news then. Most of these phone unlock code providers will send out 3 or 4 and usually ( every time for me ) the first one works. They usually have instructions on their website or included with the codes.

    • cloudie9 on 04/04/2015 - 14:15

      Can't you all get codes from Vodafone for free or it's not?

    has anyone had issue with this ascend y550? for example it randomly reset every 3 to 4 days for no reason.

    • happychappy1 on 04/04/2015 - 22:45

      I found the GPS was pretty bad in Google Maps when driving. It didn't track location very well at all. Only tried once though.

      • Cheeper on 04/04/2015 - 23:16
        +2

        Google maps requires internet and gps to operate.
        Best to use offline maps like Here maps (free) or Sygic (pay).
        I use those and never had a problem with them on many phones including Huawei.

        • happychappy1 on 05/04/2015 - 02:16

          I had 4G mobile data enabled as well as high accuracy mode location services.

          Tracking was noticeably poor, with Google Maps reporting "GPS signal lost" a few times.

          Will try again with HERE maps next time to see if this occurs.

        • Cheeper on 05/04/2015 - 09:06

          @happychappy1:
          We use 2 Huawei G526's for "offline" navigation and both are faultless.
          I would assume they use the same gps hardware as the Y550?
          If there is a heap of other progs running and reducing resources that may cause things to bjork I imagine?
          I would not waste my time trying to use internet and gps at the same time that is why I prefer offline maps like Here / Sygic.

        • happychappy1 on 05/04/2015 - 11:08
          +1

          @xywolap: just because it has a similar chipset doesn't mean other elements like the software and antenna setup are the same, as these play an important role as well.

          I found that google maps simply didn't move the map along as it would normally do (the location dot got stuck in the wrong position). But it could just be a fault with the app itself.

          I've switched the default storage to external SD and installed HERE maps with Australian map downloaded to see how it is.

        • King Tightarse on 05/04/2015 - 12:16

          @happychappy1:
          Valid points.
          I can tell you that even PC board component placement can even come into play.
          The antenna shape and length can have a large effect too.

        • Cheeper on 05/04/2015 - 20:43

          @happychappy1:
          To give the device the best chance to perform turn off any unused features and apps… after all it is just a phone trying to be a sat nav LOL.
          I will be able to give feedback on the Y550 vs G526 gps performance soon as I relented and got one of these Y550's… damn hard to pass up at this price :-)

        • happychappy1 on 08/04/2015 - 15:48
          +2

          @xywolap: Here's an update with regards to GPS.

          I tried HERE maps and it worked somewhat OK in terms of overall tracking.

          I had some difficulty with Google Maps thinking I was facing the wrong direction every time I stopped (compass issues I think), but after I moved it went back to tracking in the right direction.

          Didn't have any issues with GPS losing signal in the open, but I had high accuracy mode enabled for location services.

We refunded few customers by mistake telling them codes were not available so please ignore those messages as we can get almost 99% codes. For quick turn around time please always add imei to Paypal payment page and click save or send it via ebay message. We monitor our ebay 24/7 so we will getting your codes pretty quickly in less than one hour.

    for Huawei just use 16 digits NCK code which will be the first code.

    Nice! Thanks for the post, got the Y550, been using for about an hour, great handset for the price, has a better screen than I expected, now need to bagman. Side note, I don't need the starter pack, if anyones interested you can grab it off me.

    • happychappy1 on 05/04/2015 - 02:21
      +1

      You should keep the starter pack - it's a $50 cap that includes unlimited data over the weekends for the life of the recharge (28 days) until May 10. That's pretty much unbeatable value.

      As for unlocking - go for these guys: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Unlock-Code-Huawei-Ascend-P6-G535…

      I got my code in very short time and it only cost $2.99 (less than what Bagman is charging, and he's usually slower too).

      • Kikkoman56 on 05/04/2015 - 02:46

        Bagman replied to me in just over 10 minutes of sending payment. I think it's just luck of the draw if either of them happen to be at their PC/Workplace/Whatever, ready to get your unlock code.

      • Zylam Marex on 05/04/2015 - 12:25
        -1

        Thanks for that, I'll definitely have look at that. I was considering keeping the starter pack, however I barely ever use my already existing service, I'm not a heavy caller/texter, I just have a phone for entertainment and emergency reasons.

    (I first tried on the Vodafone website … they wanted to charge me $75 to unlock, and that was after a $25 "discount"!).

  • jackofspade on 05/04/2015 - 10:21

    Is there suppose to be a plastic film on the phone's screen to peel off? Mine don't have it so maybe it's a refurbished one.

    • happychappy1 on 05/04/2015 - 11:26

      No, not on these ones.

      • jackofspade on 05/04/2015 - 12:04

        I've seen unboxing videos and it does have a plastic film on the screen.

        • happychappy1 on 05/04/2015 - 16:04

          Different country. As long as the anti-tamper sticker is sealing the box, it'll be fine.\

        • Ronnnie on 05/04/2015 - 18:07

          Mine had plastic film on it. I'm blown away by how good this phone is for the price point. It's unbelievable how good these budget phone are getting.

        • happychappy1 on 06/04/2015 - 11:39

          @Ronnnie: it's probably heavily subsidised by Vodafone.

  • goevencheaper on 05/04/2015 - 22:28

    Starting using the phone, it is great, but the picture taken by the camera seems lack of colour, more close to black and white, is it a faulty camera? or it is common?

    • cloudie9 on 05/04/2015 - 22:33

      Check out the review, http://www.cnet.com/au/products/huawei-ascend-y550/

      Excerpt from the review

      THE BAD Its screen has a very low resolution, Huawei's custom Android skin is clunky and awkward to use, the camera is poor, the HDR mode simply doesn't work, it only has 4GB of built-in storage and the underpowered processor sometimes results in sluggish navigation.

      At the end of the day, you get what you paid for!

      • goevencheaper on 05/04/2015 - 22:36

        Thanks， Cloudie.
        Not expect the camera to be very good, but hope there is some settings or apps to improve it.

      • Ronnnie on 06/04/2015 - 08:40
        +2

        That review should be taken with a grain of salt, very biased review…

        This phone is incredible for its price point. I've managed to get over 5 hour onscreen time from first charge. The performance is quite good too, it can even play games like GTA: SA. Actually the SoC used is slightly better than what you typically find in phones 5 times its price.

    • Cheeper on 06/04/2015 - 16:56
      +2

      Check camera settings… allow it to focus before taking shot. If that does not work then may be faulty.
      Our 2 Huawei 5mp phone cameras take great pics.
