Spotted this deal at Box Hill Woolworths. Unsure of stock level. Did a search on Woolies website and product does not exist so maybe its a discontinued product? Probably worth it just for the $30 starter pack.

Damn. Can you buy me one
Good $9 BurnerFYI boiz, Boronia is listed as having stock, I just rang, the girl said they had one, went and checked, and said they only had the C30. Cheers either way OP.
Glad it helped someone.
$9 for 30$ starter pack + free ewaste
2GB ram / 16GB storage
2013 specification
In 2013 a phone with those specs would work as smooth as an iPhone does. Now you need quadrillion gigs of RAM, hexa-dexa core CPU the least!
And XX terabytes of storage for the 500 gigapixel camera images
iPhone still works smoothly with 2GB ram. Android, no chance.
Do not let this do any updates! How to block google play services from updating?For what they have - these area a bargain. I usually pick up a few phones similar to these to use in teaching Android programing as well as using camera motion as a cheaper alternative to Arduinos (using REST instead of direct signals as that seems to be the way things are going)
vic?
Yes Victoria.
it's locked to vadafone network, sooo $25 more to unlock it.
It's free. Fill out the unlock form and they'll do it within a few days. No payment. I think that fee rule is old and not updated, or maybe they apply it indiscriminately.
I tried searching (no luck). Can you/someone please help me with this form? The form which i am looking at is asking for upfront payment of $25.

Did you actually fill it out? I believe you can submit without any payment. If they will charge, I think you’ll get an email. But more than likely you’ll just get an email that says it’s now unlocked.
do you think facebook messenger and signal work on this? and reddit / basic website browsing?
Should work with either wifi/mobile data. if the above doesn't work, we couldn't call this a smartphone.
It depends on whether Messenger and Signal still supports the version of Android that is running on this.

My local drug dealer approves this comment
Literally no other reason why anyone would own this phone.
Use it as a cheap 4G mobile modem.
I bought the Nokia G21 for this purpose. Has huge 5500mah battery life (3 days normal use, but about a day as hotspot). It was on sale from $200 to $130.
The Nokia C01 has 3000mah battery so should be be okay for a solid day.
I'll buy that for a dollar !
