    Will it work with all bands of optus?

    Its a good phone for what it is, almost stock Marshmallow. Usable SOC with quad core a53. 1gb ram ain't great but passable. Screen is probably a let down though.

    If getting the U3, make sure its the 4g version with a53, the newer 3g version is back to the a7 cores.

    • Rakddon on 25/08/2018 - 12:45

      It’s says U3 4G

    Quick overview of U3 & U5

  • harthagan on 25/08/2018 - 13:02

    This might sound silly but would this be a cheap way to get a phone purely to use as a wifi hot spot?

    I'm thinking of ditching my TPG broadband in favour of getting vodafone mobile data since they have the piece of mind data after you reach your cap.

    I've already got a phone still in contract with Optus so the second mobile would be used purely as a modem.

    • Krazyy on 25/08/2018 - 13:14

      I am wondering the same thing!!

      Would need to somehow be able to issue DHCP for the internal network so you can network between devices, i.e. wifi printer, etc.

      • harthagan on 25/08/2018 - 13:17

        Not sure about this techie stuff. Can u have several devices tethered to the one mobile hotspot?

        • josho9 on 25/08/2018 - 14:20

          I have at least 3-4 at any given time.

      • Its4me on 26/08/2018 - 15:45

        Or tether via USB to a PC with decent Wifi / antenna.

    • Make it so on 25/08/2018 - 13:59

      It would be network locked though… I expect.

    • honeydew on 26/08/2018 - 16:01

      I just bought a U3 at rouse hill target just to do Wi-Fi hot-spot. I put my kogan sim in it and it worked since kogan uses Vodafone network. With all these kogan sim deals going on..

    No stock at Target, Broadway Sydney..

      They don’t tend to have much, apart from OzBargain disappointment.

  • TenguTech on 25/08/2018 - 14:21

    The really important question no one has asked yet, can you play PokemonGo on it? :P

  • [Deactivated] on 25/08/2018 - 16:05

    How to unlock?

    • alvian on 25/08/2018 - 16:06

      With a key.

  • yktreefiddy on 25/08/2018 - 16:29

    Anyone in WA thinking of buying the U5, Bull Creek is the only store in Perth with stock. They had 2, called and reserved one for myself so there may be the last one in Perth left with them.

    Price confirmed $19, they will hold the phone up to a week for you

    For anyone lucky to be living in, or willing to travel to, Broome - they got some stock in that store too.

    U3 is easily available I believe

    • Make it so on 25/08/2018 - 16:45

      Just got one from Carousel, Cannington, WA. Last one I think.

  • Babban on 25/08/2018 - 17:23

    got last one from Garden city Mt Gravatt Brisbane
    Carindale has U3 but not for$19

  • Krazyy on 25/08/2018 - 18:39

    Got one from Narellan today.

    • alvian on 25/08/2018 - 19:04

      U5 or U3? Any more left?

      • Krazyy on 25/08/2018 - 19:20

        U5. Only u3 left.

        • alvian on 25/08/2018 - 19:26

          Thanks for the intel.

        • alvian on 01/09/2018 - 17:27

          I purchased the last U3. No more U5 or U3 left. Target Narellan did not put up the apology notice and had the phones tagged at full price. This was probably the reason why that store had stock while all surrounding Targets had none.

          I tried to + the deal but my stupid phone registered a -. I have revoked the - but now I cannot vote +. Sorry OP.

  • Reddog888 on 25/08/2018 - 18:52

    Wonthaggi Target still have one U3, I got the other for $19. No U5 available at this location

    I unlocked using this listing.
    Threw error but it unlocked anyway, as my Optus SIM works and it did not ask me to retry.

    Got 3 to satisfy the pensioners. Two had been opened, one SIM card had been used. FFS Target….

  • poxy001 on 25/08/2018 - 20:30

    heard a few gripes about the charging speed so I just did a quick test with a 5V 1.8A charger it went from 13% to 47% in about 1.2h so seems fine if you use a decent charger. zero heat.

  • jcft on 25/08/2018 - 22:02

    Wollies have both mobiles if you wish to view before buying
    What I saw at Wollies - the U5 is bigger, more expensive, newer model
    But each to there own.
