Hi All,
Just recently purchased the Amaysim $10 for Your 1st 3 Months Unlimited Talk & Text 5GB Data, which is a great deal if anyone hasn't purchased. Now I have a to find a phone to pair it with the sim. I find the 3G network to be suffice to use the internet around Sydney, but if there are great deals on 4G phones, i'm all for it.
I assume i'm only limited to Optus prepaid phone unless it can unlock. So I ask the Ozbargain community for a hand and help me find the cheapest phone out there that can share the data connection to other devices. I am sure there are others in this little pickle too.
Cheers, Chim

Update: Optus ZTE Fit (4G) Prepaid Mobile $49 @ Officeworks This seems like a good deal but its expired
Alcatel Pixi 4.5 4G (Locked to Optus) $69 + Bonus $20 Google Play Credit (still vaild)

Mobile

Comes with 4GB data as well. No need for a phone!

  Hi Spackbace,
  hmm, that's an option but i'll like to utilise the text and call function as well.

You're not limited to optus phones, you can use any unlocked phone. I'm also not sure if locked optus phones will allow an amaysim card, perhaps they do, but don't just look at optus-locked phones!

  Hi brezzo,
  Agree and agree, just did a little search and amaysim does work with optus prepaid.(confirmed by the folks at whirlpool) http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1640430

Find it strange that there is no solid website for comparing phone prices. hmm, or is there?
