Was at cooloongatta and tweed heads last weeks and saw auspost shops clearing out these samsung J800 bling prepaid virgin phones for $29. bought one in Bris GPO yesterday. could be in other austpost offices, but who knows.

sure they are old (2008) but perfect for someone who wants a relatively inexpensive mobile phone for just texting/talking with a 2mp camera.

I unlocked the one I bought for $6 online.

specs from samsung-

when i activated the phone + sim I got a $180 credit. nice. use that up and then I will put in a TPG $9.99 sim. sweet.

I reckon this phone is better than the nokia 2220 (vodaphone locked) that is on sale at coles for $24.59

PLEASE NOTE URL LINK SHOULD BE http://www.austpost.com.au/ NOT http://www.austopost.com.au/
people may get confused.
Mods- can you fix this please. thanks

  Seems okay, I prefer the Nokia 2220 - unlockable online for free, better camera, and IMO better durability.

    U sure 2220 has better camera? VGA vs 2MP (Samsung)?

        Yeah dat one is definitely better 5MP. But 2220 is the one on sale in Coles not 62220?

    Please post the link to get unlock code. I have tried twice on my mum 2220 phone (once from an online calculator and once from a downloaded software) but both failed so I may have one more try to go before it locked.

      Ahh damn, I never noticed the "6"220. Bummer, that would've been a good deal.

      And rep you posted an invalid linke. Austopost…

  I have a J800 and was wondering where you were able to get it unlocked for $6.00.

    i tried unlockers.com (or similar site). but 3 days after I posted they wrote back saying they couldn't do it. bit peeved. I bought it for my wife who just wants a phone, text function and reasonable camera. so just using virgin sim for now and then will get them to unlock for free after $60. then go amysim.

    I tried the phone with an unlock sim chip and an amysim sim. it only half worked. it recognised the sim but couldn't locate the network.
