    so if you manage to recharge a few times to make a total of $80, you can unlock the phone for free?

    • MiCCAS on 10/06/2010 - 14:51

      Yes

  • insanityrules on 10/06/2010 - 14:46

    damnnit - not available here :-(

  • Aceman98 on 10/06/2010 - 15:44

    this is a dumb ques but what does it mean that it is locked? n how will they know that you have recharged a total of $80?

    • daydream on 10/06/2010 - 15:56

      You have to use it on the Optus network (It's "locked" to Optus). After you reach $80 recharge (they track your account, calls made, balance, etc via their system) then they can provide you with a code you enter in the phone to "unlock" it which then lets you use it in future with another phone company should you choose to change.

    Keep in mind that you can get unlocked phones cheap if you look around. eg. Page 16 of the current Telechoice catalogue http://www.telechoice.com.au/deals/catalogue has:

    Samsung E1070 $39
    Nokia 1209 $49
    Samsung E1310 $59
    and more…

    It's always smarter to shop around for a good phone plan as getting a cheap handset tied to an expensive plan will cost you more in the long run.

    Sold out in Armadale WA, this model is also not available at Kmart, Big W, Target, or Dick Smith.

    daydream - true, also means that those of us on Optus and in need of a new mobile miss a great deal

    Optus require $80 recharge or 6 months to release their phones.
    So, if I buy this, use up the $30 credit within the month and then just put in a drawer for another five months, can I release it for free?
    Also, being on the same network, does anyone know if these will work with Virgin sims?

    • Captain Obvious on 10/06/2010 - 20:26

      I'd say so with the 6months, yes. As for Virgin I'd think they would, can't think of any reason why they wouldn't.

  • xxxfbsxxx on 10/06/2010 - 19:35

    nice deal got one at coles oakleigh

  • MiCCAS on 10/06/2010 - 20:39

    Coles Campbellfield is out of stock

  • doperst on 10/06/2010 - 20:39

    I wonder if SIM from TPG will work in this mobile?
    (TPG uses Optus network)

    • MiCCAS on 10/06/2010 - 20:45

      It should - they network lock on most phones.

  • Captain Obvious on 10/06/2010 - 21:29

    Can anyone who has actually bought this phone confirm that it is model E1170? I can't find any information about this model existing, even on the Samsung website.

    Will this work on virgin network (they use OPTUS, right?)

  • 17833 on 10/06/2010 - 22:14

    out of interest would anyone know if you could you use the $30 recharge on another prepaid optus phone? I am on post-paid optus and only need cheap phone and my old one has died. thanks!

    • rw123 on 10/06/2010 - 22:15

      I used my credit on my Iphone….so yes you can use it on another optus prepaid phone.

  • 17833 on 10/06/2010 - 22:17

    thanks heaps rw123 quick reply !

  • chenc64 on 11/06/2010 - 15:51

    To answer peoples general questions.

    Yes it works on Virgin Mobile. Bought one today and tried it no problems making or receiving calls and texts.
    This phone doesn't have 3G Internet functions and has no memory card slot.
    ****It is sold out at Indooroopilly Coles, Kenmore Coles and Toowong Coles (since I called to check this morning, I bought the last one from Toowong). ****Brisbane People Only****
    If you use it for 6 months or Yes recharge it once and leave it for 6 months Optus will unlock it for free.
    If you recharge 80 dollars worth, that means a 30 dollar recharge and a 50 dollar or 3 30 dollars = 90 dollars Optus will also unlock it for free.

    The functions of the phone are very limited but it has everything I need for a phone to make/receive calls and send/receive text. It has a great speaker, it is loud and clear the alarm is also very good.
    The phone doesn't come with a headset only the phone, a simpack, a battery (not a spare one just the 1Xbattery) and a wall charger +manuals.

    Let me know if you guys haveanymore questions

  • mel82 on 11/06/2010 - 21:08

    Its sold out everywhere in the eastern suburbs!!! Any1 get 1 or no of stock in sydney???

  • annakira on 14/06/2010 - 11:23

    Try Coles Norwest(near Bella Vista, Baulkham Hills way). Bought one today for hubby and he likes it, he only wants a basic phone, as long as it has an added handsfree/speakerphone feature, he's happy. Model no for this phone is GT-E1170T.

    Oh and it also has a 'fake call' feature (quoting the manual, "….to get out of meetings or unwanted conversations"), lol we had a good laugh over that one… Shame my $70 Motorola V3 doesn't have that feature :o)

  • viswa on 15/06/2010 - 09:03

    Does this $30 be used to recharge other optus prepaid which we already have? Or does this work only with the SIM they give? and is this still available in any store in NSW?

    • MiCCAS on 15/06/2010 - 09:59

      The voucher and the SIM are seperate - so you can use the recharge voucher on your already active Optus Pre-Paid service.
