  Is it still a deal when paying the unlock price?

    well, yes. For example you might be using an Amaysim, which would work on this phone.

    Also if you buy it for $285 from Mobilciti even with the $80 unlocking fee you'll still be $7 better off, so yes a bargain

      The Optus version has dual-sim and some 3G/4G bands disabled whereas Mobilciti does not.

      Would definitely pay $7 more for Mobilciti version assuming it is Aus stock.

        @rodripa:
        1. All mainstream phone providers dislike dual sim as you could use separate sims for say cheap calls and cheap data, and they make no money off you.
        2. They don't want you taking the "discounted" phone they provide you to competing networks.

  A whole new level of vain if you buy a phone for the free selfie stick

  • 

    ESEMCE on 15/04/2016 - 11:17

    It's a decent phone for the price.
    And with 3rd party ROM support coming thanks to brinlystorm on Whirlpool.

  Be aware that some (all?) users are reporting that Band 28 is not activated by default.

  • 

    SupeNintendoChalmers on 15/04/2016 - 11:23

    any idea how you can activated it?

    • 

      ESEMCE on 15/04/2016 - 11:31

      Engineering Mode each time you restart.
      and also complaining to Optus who are selling a device and claiming default support despite the fact its not actually active out of the box - assuming it is a problem being experienced by all Optus Prepaid handsets.

        Was going to mention it locks itself again after reboot but you editied your post and beat me to it :-) Apparently the unlocked F1 has band 28.

  Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro.

    SupeNintendoChalmers on 15/04/2016 - 11:28

    great price, for great phone, however its a grey import and some people prefer dealing with a B&M Aussie shop.

    Also 5.5" screen may be too big for and clunky for some.

      this phone is only slightly smaller than redmi note 3. this phone has large bezels

  chingy213 on 15/04/2016 - 14:01

  unlocking this specific phone is pointless

  optus have block the bands required to be used with Vodafone or Telstra

  read the whirlpool thread on it.

  I have this phone with dodo and its awesome!

    ESEMCE on 15/04/2016 - 14:49

    Seems you can manually unlock them in Engineering mode, but yes…
    The really interesting moment will come when the F1 bootloader unlock, root and custom ROM is properly released… Then it might well be possible to flash the non-Optus Modem file and have all bands unlocked.

  This should work fine on Optus resellers without an unlock, right? (e.g. Vaya, LiveConnected etc)

  Just letting you guys know that if you don't want to pay an unlocking fee, buy a prepaid sim card and charge $80 and you will be charged no fee

  Provided that you've recharged your Prepaid service to a minimum/accumulated amount of $80 there is no fee
