Vodafone Smart First 3G Mobile Phone $69 ($34.50 after Half Price Coupon + Bonus $34.50 Woolworths Dollars) @ Woolworths

2810

OK, firstly forget the $69. No one will pay $69 for this phone.

This phone is advertised in the current catalogue on page 25. When you purchase this phone you will receive $34.50 Woolworths Dollars (You will need a Woolworths Rewards Card)

Even at $34.50 the phone is still not worth it. But if you have kept your Woolworths receipts from the last week or two, you may have one of these half price coupons. The half price coupons are unique and will only work once.

This is now the good part. Present your half price coupon which brings the phone down to $34.50 (less if you pay with discounted wish cards). Scan your Woolworths rewards card and you will have earned yourself $34.50 Woolworths Dollars, effectively making the phone FREE.

Now you can walk away and be content that you have effectively scored yourself a free phone. Or, if you are a true ozbargainer, you will probably notice your new receipt has yet another unique half price coupon

So, you go back for round two. Same procedure as above. Present coupon. Phone comes down to $34.50. But this time when you scan your rewards card you will automatically redeem $30 Woolworths Dollars (this will be shown on the receipt as MEMBER REWARDS 3 @ 10.00). This will leave an amount of $4.50 that you must pay out of pocket, however, you will have earned yourself another $34.50 Woolworths Dollars.

So, after 2 transactions you have yourself 2 brand new phones, $39 Woolworths Dollars, 2 petrol dockets and yet another half price coupon. And so it goes on and on, though it does say limit of 2 per customer in the T&Cs, but I'd say that is referring to the maximum number of handsets they would sell you at one time.

This phone can be unlocked for $1.45 on ebay. Many thanks to abacusjk for posting the link and to other members for confirming it worked.

        • @unity1: oh well I will wait for someone to share a code with me otherwise I will miss this deal.

          thanks for it by the way

        • @lkp: That's what I'm thinking too. But msmhw above spent $70 without luck.

        • +1

          @msmhw: No worries. Good luck. I'm sure someone will have a spare one, because when you use one you receive another.

        • @unity1: yeah that is odd maybe a gift card purchase doesn't trigger the code. All speculations but i have a feeling these codes won't be around for long

        • @lkp: Gift card purchase worked for me https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/3478236/redir

        • @unity1: very strange it's not working for some people then

        • @lkp:
          I've checked all of my recent receipts and only found 1 with this promo, all the other "qualifying spends" that didn't have the code, usually had some other promo and therefore I think negates this promo from showing up. Eg I had one of those spend X amount and receive W$.

    • It may not count the Woolworths giftcard toward the min spend to trigger it, I bought Village Cinemas giftcard last week with 10% off and got the voucher

  • Good Deal, That only have 3G 900 and 2100 ; No 3G 850, even is Vodafone brand. I still like to get it anyway.

    • Box says 850 900 1800 1900.

      • That would be 2G frequency

        • Ok.thanks for correction.

    • Where did you find this?

      If this is the case, then don't even bother with trying to use it on Telstra as you will rarely have 3G and 2G is being shut down soon.

    I found a receipt in my bin.LOL.

    • +1

      Me too…lol

    You my man have obtained a Diploma of Ozbargain-ing

  • Here is a brief list of the specifications: http://devices.vodafone.com.au/web/vodafone-smart-first/spec…

    Doesn't say what the processor is. I assume it is dual core, so the phone is similar to $19 Alcatel Pixi 3.

    Best < $50 phone is the Alcatel Pixi 3 4.5 4G for $49 (many places Optus, Aus Post and probably Woolworths)

    Here is a review for what I believe is the same handset for the UK: http://www.androidheadlines.com/2015/05/featured-review-voda…

    It isn't really a 3MP camera, but only a 2MP using software. ACCC anyone??
    It is dual core.

    I can't find what 3G frequencies it is, so I don't know how it would go on Telstra or Optus.

    • Box states camera is 2MP.

  • My phone just died on me so this is awesome. Do I need to buy a vodaphone sim and activate it to unlock the phone? I have plenty of $30 Telstra sims on standby. (thanks ozbargain). Also, can anyone confirm if there is a minimum spend to get the voucher? Thx

    • You need to pay to unlock it which is about a couple of dollars from the above comments.

      • Yes thanks I know but I'm asking do you have to have an active sim in the phone first…thx

  • WOuld appreciate if anyone has a spare code to share? Just checked my receipts, one $20.15 and $47, both got no code..

    • -1

      It's a barcode at the bottom of the Woolworths dockets. You need to present the docket at Woolworths to get the half price. There's no 'code'.

      • +2

        It's a code alright, as you said it's a barcode. The numbers under all the bars aren't just there because they look pretty.
        You have the option to scan the barcode or as a back up measure you can punch in the numbers at the checkout also.

        • So you just give the barcode numbers to the cashier?

  • +3

    The deal worked for me, but call your local store before going (the 4th store I tried had stock). I've got 3 spare codes just PM me if you want one. No more codes.

    • PMed you :)

      • In case if you get a code when you buy and if you are not planning to use it can I have it please?

    • Pm'd you thanks

    • Pmed U, thx

    • Pm sent. Thanks

      All gone now!

        what an awesome guy!

  • My local store (Nundah QLD) searched for about 10 minutes and called down the Store Manager but couldn't find any stock. Whilst I was waiting another OzBargainer came in and asked for one too. For what must normally be a slow selling item they couldn't believe two people wanted them at the same time. I probably should have warned them to prepare for the onslaught

  • Scored one this morning… thankya.
    Its a 2MP camera though according to the box. Screen not so good when viewing off angle, but awesome find as kids media player.

    • Come on, it's free!

      Shouldn't be complaining really

      • Frustration free?

      • No complaints, just observations to help out others contemplating making trips to Woolies.

      • Not entirely if the store has no stock you wasted some time for some adrenalin

  • Just a tip for a better browser for phones with only 512MB of RAM like this. Don't use Chrome as it is too slow. Use Lightning browser, seems much faster, but lacks a few features.

  • Thanks! Got the last one from blacburn north vic

  • 512 MB RAM

    Free is good but 512MB of ram will make this pretty useless

    • That is why I suggest the Lightning browser above. Good for media player or I use these sorts of phones for single purpose device like showing the electricity consumption/production from solar.

  • huawei Y300.

  • I think these are the specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/vodafone_smart_4_mini-6295.php

    2014 phone, 512 MB ram, no 4G, Android 4.2.2. Ie Pretty low specs. Have not checked if it runs cyanogenmod and has an unlocked bootloader.

  • Anyone does have unused code?

    • +1

      Code me not have unused.

    Anyone knows if the coupon would still print if spent in woolies now?

    • yes still can print, just get two smart first for free, still got print for half price~

      • Reason I asked is I just bought something but didn't print that one out, just the usual BWS offer. Anyone knows what kind of spend/item criteria in order to generate that coupon?

        • maybe just canbe print from woolies supermarket, not bws or bigw

        • @rliu:

          Yeah I just bought something from woolies, but only coupon I got was the BWS offer, no half price voda.

        • i got one spare if u need but how can i send u? not familer with ozbargain

        • @rliu:

          Not sure… like can we use printed coupons? Or does it need to be original ones?

          Thanks in advance though.

        • @wildstone: can send photo to u and present at counter, i think they can scan from moblie screen or type in the code number anyway.

        • @rliu:

          Okay, thanks in advance buddy. Will try that and see if they will accept it. I'll PM you. Cheers.

          Edit: I can't seem to PM you, can you please PM me instead? Just click on my username and hit 'Start Conversation'.

        • @wildstone: pm~ let me know if u find the file~

  • Have you been asked for ID?

    The lady at local woolies insisted I must hand over ID which I did eventually.

    • I didn't

    • No way. You only need to give ID when registering the phone.

    • Vodafone no longer need an ID when purchasing.

    • Yes..while buying the 2nd one.

  • +5

    Good phone to trade in at JB HiFi for when they have another good S6 or similar deal for a cheap price with trade in and voucher code

  • +3

    Here are 4 codes from various receipts I had around the house. Please comment with the last 4 digits when you use a code so others know which ones are still live.
    FYI the barcodes use a Code-128 format, you can generate scannable versions of the barcodes here.

    Good luck using them as you need to surrender the receipt to the person at the customer service desk! Time to work on your sweet talking!

    • Thanks.
      1096.
      See how I get on……..

    • You could probably claim you did your shopping online and it gave you the coupon there.

    • Thanks so much!!! I'll take 0502

    • Thanks. I will use 5108

    • I've used 3684. Thanks heaps!

  • there is no stock in my local stores, they said they will get more stock by next week.

    • +1

      Thanks, saved me a trip to my local.

    • Just note this catalogue ends on Tueday. So hopefully they receive their stock before then.

  • Thanks so much for sharing this deal OP!

  • First we have gift card inception and now we have smart phone inception.

  • Anyone able to unlock the phone ?

  • Has anyone got a spare half price coupon to give away?

    Thanks

    • xx

  • None at Bankstown WW (or they have been instructed not to sell them by manager)

    • I think this too. Woolworths i tried had 'none in stock' and wouldn't sell me the complete sealed and boxed unit sitting loosly ontop of the counter saying 'Thats a display unit'.

      • WW Bankstown are very dodgy. Might call head office and ask them to check stock levels on the System.

  • PM sent

  • Can you still get a half price coupon today if you buy a gift card?

  • -1

    Pm code plz

  • Hi, anyone have spare code to share, Thanks.

  • Mine is lock to Vodafone, will try the unlock tonight

  • Would definitely appreciate a code if anyone has one!

  • +3

    I just picked one up and am using it with the Google Play app 'Home Security Camera - Alfred'. I installed and it works a treat. Free video surveillance is too good.

    I have two codes. First in best bought.

    98491275009075500048231032016000000662

    98491275014150400048231032016000000166

    Good luck

  • Can someone pm me the code please? Thank you so much for sharing.

  • worked like a charm, Thanks : D

    • +2

      What's the phone like, is it worth $0.00?

      • Sure, for $0 you could use it as a free Music player or as nodo said above, as a Home Security Camera with the right app. Its better than the phone I currently have. so for me, for $0 its totally worth it.

      • +1

        shapers got it for $5 Woolworths Dollars paid to him to get it.So it could be worth negative $5 to him.

  • +3

    Stacking it with your targeted Woolworths Dollars Rewards offer this week make it even better!

      Got a phone and $5 for free :)

    I've got a spare code if anyone wants?

    • Can I please have the code?
