The popular Galaxy A20 is on special again at Coles ($50 off) with 10GB data bonus if activated prior to 17 Feb - there is normally a $10 sim included in this pack.
pretty sure this would be locked to Telstra, from previous posts, this should be ok on Boost and Belong but not Aldi.
Will this work if I have a boost sim or need to unlock?
Edit: Just saw that it does. Thanks
You can get a Vodafone locked one from Big W online for $170 ($199 + $1 item - $30) at the moment using the code YOUSAVE30. Gift cards of course to get it a little cheaper
Did you actually get it to work? I couldn't. Would only work with YOUSAVE20 which is the same price as this deal.
I added a $1.50 hamburger sock to bring it to over $200 and the $30 off works as described above. (Then used a 5% off gift card to bring it down to $161.97)
For a version has extra bands also.
Thanks!
Is it expensive to unlock the Vodafone one or can you use belong with the Telstra version?
@Arthur Dunger: I did this yesterday and it worked fine. just follow the instructions which have been posted on previous deals
Can we use egiftcards to buy these?
Yes, it's just a regular product. Same with recharge vouchers.
Which is version is better telstra or Vodafone in terms of junk loaded on the phone already?
Voda has 3 'apps' (some are just shortcuts I think), which can all be uninstalled easily.
Don't forget 5% off with gift cards if you can get them.
Sorry how does this work?
I had that issue before I dropped and broke it.
Being an intermittent issue and GPS working adequately at other times I would expect most owners haven't noticed the problem, but it potentially exists.
Thia is the reason I haven't grabbed one yet. I can't get a straight answer whether the GPS a still an issue or not (using offline maps, for example when OS).
Anyone used an A20 with offline maps in NYC, that place gives the GPS a good test.
Yes the gps issue is still there and no fixes from Samsung.
Anyone looked at the physical GPS aerial itself inside the phone? Length/ location etc?
(I guess you would potentially void the warranty).
I used the A20 on Kogan for trip from Melbourne to Bairnsdale on the weekend no issues. Using android auto.
In my experience, once you've got a GPS fix, it stays until you turn the phone off or do the network reset & reboot.
I find it to be hit and miss…
Sometimes the gps locks in straight away, other times it takes 5-10mins
I bought this phone for my father in law online and will pickup tomorrow morning. Anyone got any experiences with this mobile?

If you are referring to the Essential, then it is poor by comparison, but then it is less than half the price.
I have the earlier Essential Plus from the Telstra 4G giveaway and I refuse to use it.
Yes I have read reviews about both Essential Plus and Essential Pro. Pro has much better specs than Plus. And besides Pro cost currently only $79.00 Can't complain much I believe (my point of view).
It’s pretty shit I sold mine used on eBay for like $20 software unlocked
This was in last week's Coles catalogue too, and I price matched unlocked phone, at Officeworks (with extra 5% off!). Happy with mine.
those with suncorp rewards account - can get coles egiftcard for 4% discount.
does anyone know how to unlock the phone?
A30 was at this price around xmas on amazon. I dont need a phone but I'm still kicking myself for not buying it.

Purchased last year from auspost for $159(?) and very happy. It came wih voda $30 credit too. Unlock with funfoneshop also worked great, highly recommended ( ╹▽╹ )
Dont know if someone else posted this. But it is not ok on boost and belong
I heard Aldi didn't work, have you tried it on boost?
Boost should work.
Was hoping it would work with Boost.
Can someone confirm this please? I recently ported to Boost with a Redmi 4 to find out it doesn't have the band support. Planning to get this.
TIA

Officeworks has unlocked version available for $179.
this deal is expired
deal expired with 30 min !
Even after it expired I went to Officeworks and they had the price $179 on the shelf. Not in stock but will get it in tomorrow from the warehouse.
Can Officeworks pricebeat Coles offer of $179 even though its a locked version? Has anyone tried that before?
I can confirm this works with BOOST without unlocking. Thanks
Can anyone confirm if I can claim TRS? I have brought 3 and wife is travelling overseas. All of these are brought using coles eGift cards and I have the receipt.
Thanks
Is this ozbargain's favourite smartphone?
