Can't say if the phone itself is any good, but considering most places are still selling for full retail price of $179 and up, seems like a good deal for those who need a cheap phone.
LG K41s also on sale for $159.
enter a postal code and you will get $69
bloody bargain for anyone looking for a phone for their folks or something like that
I know you mean well but sometimes folks deserve something a bit better. This is a very good disposable phone or for emergencies.
Something like this is much better, just an example not the deal itself:

Its snapdragon ;p
Is this good for a primary school child? How long will this last with them? Happy to get two years out of it
For just sending and receiving calls and SMS or actual use?
My main phone is a Nokia 3 and its is my main phone, diary, browser, eftpos card (NFC), music player, gps, movie streamer, email client, wifi hotspot for solar/ battery monitoring. Pretty sure this is better than my Nokia 3 (camera and battery is at least, same Op system). What more do you need? (other than a decent case and screen protector for young kids).
you know kids these days sometimes play games such as minesweeper which i think shouldnt be an issue looking at the specs. thanks
Buy it or not buy it!
Can't see any in stock and no delivery available
Same. Good luck finding stock. Did a quick search and only low stock listed at the following from what I could find.
Also on sale at Target for $79 if you can't find stock at big W.
Didn't think it was much of a bargain because of the 2gb ram.
Saw some in stock at Forest Hill Vic target store on the weekend.
I've got two Alcatel Pop 4 phones from a couple of years ago. I've gone through both batteries on one phone because they've swollen and it is so damn slow even basic use is agony - many, many seconds to get to a phone screen. There is no way I'm spending another cent on batteries for a Poop 4. Was a bargain back then or so I thought. At best I got an overpriced toy. So if this phone is similar, I'd advise people to stay away.
no offence, what do you expect for $69?
I have Telstra 4GX phones that are no where near as brain dead as the Poop 4. Totally usable. Same price on sale. So I don't expect zero lag, or decent gaming, but I do expect a usable phone, funnily enough. The Poop 4 wasn't even good enough to give primary school aged kids, because I don't want them stuck waiting 2 minutes for the piece of garbage to respond if they want to be picked up, never mind in an emergency.
5.45-inch screen
how cute
PCMag Australia didn't find the beast that beguiling.

4G bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 20, 38 according to GSMArena. The Auspost one [listed $199] is dual SIM. A `dedicated Google Now' button just like the V50 is an unfeature IMHO.
Displaying on the site as $199 ???
