    • Tacooo on 25/10/2018 - 20:16

        It's in the latest catalogue out on Tuesday. The $69 Alcatel is discounted to $39 with a free Mini.

    If you can find some use for the Android phone, this is an even better deal than ebay plus…

  • camelfarmer on 25/10/2018 - 22:46

    Does this include online purchases? Or is the deal instore only.

    Sounded good,
    but after looking at those phones, nothing appeals, even with the free GHM.
    The $39 phone has 512MB of ram, among other faults, so is worthless to most of us.

    The $299 Oppo might be good value, if you can live without the convenience of NFC for phone-pay.

      No one is using the Alcatel for their main phone that they Instagram, Facebook and Youtube on. It's literally basic functions like music, messages and calling (maybe a tiny bit of browsing).

    • Mr Shooty on 26/10/2018 - 11:28

      The Oppo AX5 has nfc according to Telstra

      • ChickenAdobo on 26/10/2018 - 13:30

        But if you see the OPPO australia spec page you see NO for NFC. Best ask someone at the telstra store.

    What's the cheapest prepaid plan?

    I new they'd start giving these things away for free soon. It will happen more and more often as time goes on and there is competition from various other data collectors - amazon alexa, samsung hub etc

    • drumrollplease on 26/10/2018 - 12:02

      This will be my third free Google home mini lmao aw yis

      Also ever only bought one as a gift for last Christmas to my brother who saw mine and wanted it lol

    Unless someone post a legit link for the offer

    Available with prepaid.
    Seems Alcatel u3 is not eligible.
    The discount if any applies only when you click 'buy online'

  • Afternoon Delight on 30/10/2018 - 10:24

    Doesn’t appear to be with tablets either.

  • LinkMonkey on 30/10/2018 - 11:51

    Confirmed this deal over the phone, Alcatel U3 3g, prepaid for $39 with free GH mini.
    Also available, Telstra essentials plus for $49.

    Purchased in store, image of receipts

    FWIW, comes with $10 credit

    • Uncle Roger on 30/10/2018 - 13:31

      Interesting… just did online chat with Telstra.

      First he said it is included, but then checked again and said that it's actually not?

      Go figure

      • LinkMonkey on 30/10/2018 - 13:39

        very interesting, I tried online chat before going into the store. online chat was adamant that (even though not listed) the GHM would arrive in the same package as the phone.

        I then called the nearest store to confirm, and they said it was legit, so I went in.

        • Uncle Roger on 30/10/2018 - 14:31

          Well I just went into my local store, and while they did have the Alcatel U3, the guy told me that they haven't been given the list yet from Telstra of which phones are included in this promotion.

          Not very impressed TBH.

        • Uncle Roger on 31/10/2018 - 16:04

          Went in again today, and was there for about 20 minutes.

          First I asked about the U3, to which they said that it would cost $49 with the GHM, as it needs to be a $49 minimum spend on the phone to be entitled to the GHM.

          So I figured that I may as well pay the $49 but get the Essentials Plus (better specs?), but it was listed in the shop at $99. So they had to verify that indeed it was $49…

          Ended up getting the Essentials Plus + GHM for $49.

          You must have been lucky I guess!

  • Bargain Fighter on 30/10/2018 - 11:52

    Are they unlocked? or locked to Telstra? If so, any cheap unlock key?

  • bargaino on 30/10/2018 - 13:42

    See new post. The $49 phone has merit.

    • LinkMonkey on 30/10/2018 - 13:52

      thanks, but not worth the extra $10

        Double the RAM makes it usable to me. Not as primary, sure. Will not even be putting a SIM in it.

  • M-G on 30/10/2018 - 13:53

    Yay, got my free mini! Went in-store, but note sone stores have limited pre paid choices. Cheapest I could find was the $49 Telstra Essential Plus. Stil a cheap Google Mini!

  • lordra on 30/10/2018 - 15:47

    Can always get a GHM around the $50 mark when ebay does their codes. In store, Aldi has two of them for $100 so works out to $50 per GHM. Get a free phone in the bargain.
    Edit: now if someone can post the exact steps for getting the $39 phone deal!

  • thefinalproblems on 30/10/2018 - 18:04

    Just for information, I ordered a U3 online and it didn't come with a Google Home Mini. Will get online and chat with CS.

  • yht on 30/10/2018 - 22:33

    Don't quite understand why people will buy this $39 or $39 phone other than buying the GHM for cheaper price. If you are going to use it, it is a good value. If we are to sale it, how much the GHM is gonna worth ? The same price ? Will anyone use the phone ?

  • snufl on 02/11/2018 - 14:04

    Thanks, got the Telstra Essentials Plus for my Dad to replace his really old Telstra phone which has been playing up lately. He only uses it for calls and text so this will be fine for him.

    I purchased the Alcatel $39 phone and got the Google Home Mini also (Telstra Chermside, Brisbane) I purchased two & have no need for the phones so am wrapping them today to put under the KMART Christmas Donation Tree. As I paid cash the phones are not linked to me and can be activated by the receiver according to Telstra Chermside. Two Google Home minis for $78.00 I’m a happy camper.

    Cheers,
    Sam

  • [Deactivated] on 03/11/2018 - 12:33

    There are no unlock codes for Alcatel phones, tried different 6 companies, it just can’t be done.
    Nokia can be easily unlocked for 12$

    Went in-store (Telstra Chatswood) thinking I would get the $49 Telstra Essential Plus phone because the $39 Alcatel seemed to be too good to be true (not part of the promo online).

    I asked the salesperson about the promo and they were adamant that the Minis were free with ANY Android phone. So I asked, even the $39 Alcatel? And they must have thought I was slow or something because they repeated, AANNNYY Android phone. Ok then…

    Got 2 of the $39 Alcatels

  • yht on 14/11/2018 - 16:35

    Anyone can comment if they use the $49 phone ? Is it very laggy to use Facebook, Instagram, taking selfie?

    • [Deactivated] on 17/12/2018 - 16:32

      I have it, it is good o.O

  • sane on 14/11/2018 - 22:14

    Two questions:

    The $10 SIM with the phone talks about calls and SMS, but the $10 SIM on the Telstra site talks about 4GB of data for 7 days. Anyone know what it comes with, and expiry?

    What the quickest/cheapest way to get it unlocked so it can be taken overseas (since they started spying in customs it seems sensible to have a disposable 'overseas' phone).
