    Got these for the kids. To make them work:

    1) 16Gb micro SDHC - $9.85 on eBay - the 8Gb just doesn't work
    2) Case and tempered glass protector - $11.99 on eBay - it's not that strong a phone
    3) Unlock so it works on Telstra MVNOs eg Aldi - $2.99 on eBay *
    4) Disable TouchPal, it's the source of the ads
    5) Ignore the OTA update, it does the full download of all your info to China

    Great deal. I bought one last week from Coles for $69

    • These are now fully locked to Telstra - the Aldi SIM won't work unless you get an unlock code. Not sure about Boost…

      "it does the full download of all your info to China" joke right?

        No joke. The update asked for 3 different sets of permissions - access contacts, camera, email, phone, calendar etc etc. Any reason this is needed?

          To re-write them after the update? Just guessing…

      4) Disable TouchPal, it's the source of the ads

      OMG. Is that what that was? The ads were driving me bat-shit crazy! I disabled TouchPal because it kept crashing, but I guess I never noticed the ads also disappeared after that. Thanks for the tip!

    Better than an iPhone 6

    I paid $20 for one and thought I got ripped off (don't ask… once off…)

    Great description, upvoted.

    more pixels

    • pennypincher98 on 01/03/2018 - 18:15

      That's exactly what Telstra needs. How fitting :D

    Cant argue with that one star rating

    Does it have a headphone jack?

      That's it's best feature ;)

        The 3.5mm jack on mine (bought last year) sucks. It doesn't recognise AUX cables, but headphones are fine. Just really annoying if I want to plug it into a stereo. At this price though, probably worth the hassle as everything else is solid. I've dropped it heaps, and the screen and phone are fine.
        Also, it accepts a 32gb card no sweat.

    Phone is fine?

    Had this as a work phone. It's a piece of shit.

  • Chopel on 02/03/2018 - 20:39

    Anyone tried pokemon go on this?
    Would like to get one but they are asking if this can play pokemon go.

    • headphonejack on 03/03/2018 - 09:24

      From this website.
      'The Telstra branded ZTE handsets are nothing to really get excited about but for the right price they could do for a nice little secondary Pokemon Go handset if you’re that way inclined.'

    Sold out at my local BigW Campise, NSW.
