I got an email with a code for an extra $150 off their EOFY deals, which includes the Motorola Moto G54 5G.

The code reduces the cost of the device to $29.00 however you need to add a plan (cheapest is $30 plan) bringing the total to a measly $59.00.

There could be some good deals on other phones but this one is likely to be the best.

I've flagged the deal as Targeted as I'm not sure if it is or not but better to be on the safe side. If the code turns out to be generic then I can update the post with the coupon.

Edit
I'm guessing I've been targeted because they think I'm still using a 3G device, hence the email I received refers to upgrading to a 4G/5G handset and that's what the additional credit is for.

    How do you know if the code is generic or not ? Maybe I can try ?

  • Kill Joy on 21/06/2024 - 14:49

    Good for those still on a 4G phone which still uses 3G for calling with 3G going offline across Australia soon.

    Yeah i got the same email. I really dislike the lying by them, the text is:

    The 3G device you're using relies on the 3G network that we're switching off in September. Upgrade now to get an extra $150 off our range of discounted or full priced phones. It's your call.

    It's really lying to people, saying that they HAVE to upgrade their device as it "relies" on 3g which is absolute BS. Scummy email aimed and tricking grandad and grandma into an unnecessary purchase.

    • dm02 on 21/06/2024 - 15:00

      How is it a lie? If their device relies on 3G for calls, they have to upgrade their device to continue using the service after 3G is closed.

      • Iggemo on 21/06/2024 - 15:04

        If their device relies on 3G for calls

        That's how. They are sending it to people well beyond that cohort, as evidenced by other commenters and myself.

        • dm02 on 21/06/2024 - 15:08

          what phone do you have?

    • WatchNerd on 21/06/2024 - 15:01

      I get similar recorded message with Belong Mobile before every freakin call and I've got phone with VoLTE. It's very annoying.

      • surethang on 21/06/2024 - 15:50
        +4

        You may already know this, but some phones that have VoLTE support don't specifically support the 700 MHz, band 28 that is required for Telstra 4G voice calls.

        One of my family's old phones supports 4G, but only six of the seven bands used in Australia. It doesn't support the critical B28. When I tested it, I got the Belong Mobile warning message.

        There are various ways of checking what frequencies a phone supports, but one of the easiest is to look up the phone model on https://kimovil.com

        For example, here's the link for the Motorola G54. https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-motorola-moto-g54#:~…

        Scroll down to the Kimovil Frequency Checker, Network compatibility section where you can see which bands the phone supports. Make sure to select "Australia" if the country is not automatically selected.

          I doubt anyone on OzB ever bought a phone without Band 28 since that was the first question asked for several YEARS when cheap Xiaomis and the like were posted.

            @Iggemo: Loads of us bought b28-less xiaomis when the redmi note 3 pro was a thing (2017). IIRC Neither Voda nor Optus were using b28 at the time (in the city anyway) which meant that it wasnt inportant to have it if you werent on telstra.

            Of course this was in 2017 and there wouldnt be many of them left.

          • Korban Dallas on 21/06/2024 - 19:43

            @Iggemo: Had one for 4 years. Worked fine. Redmi Note 4 Plus and Mi 5s plus. Those were the days.

        • Herbs on 21/06/2024 - 18:34

          Thanks, got the texts from Optus to replace my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (2019), but the Kimovil site says my phone has band 28a (700) for the 4G network. I assume I should be ok not replacing it. It performs fine for me anyway.

          • koolchamp81 on 21/06/2024 - 20:28

            @Herbs: I have the same phone and received the messages but no offer received.

        • scix on 21/06/2024 - 21:15

          Band 28 isn't actually required for 4g voice, you'll just run the risk of poor reception. I know because it's currently working on my B28 free phone, and Boost's message to me said essentially that:

          These are 4G devices with Limited Band Support – this means that while you may be able to continue using them when the Telstra 3G network closes, you’ll have reduced and intermittent network coverage depending on your location. You’ll need to upgrade for the best coverage to a device that is LTE 700MHz/Band 28 capable.

          But more generally there's also the risk of VoLTE incompatibility, either because the phone is old, or incompatibility between the phone and the network (mostly seems to affect Telstra and not Optus or Vodafone).

          • surethang on 22/06/2024 - 12:11

            @scix: Yep, it'll depend on the areas you use your phone in and the mobile tower capabilities. When I disabled 3G on the old phone, voice calls failed in most of the areas I tried. YMMV.

            If anyone wants to test their phone in an area, you might be able to disable 3G in your Android settings. Or you can try the hidden Test settings. Dial *#*#4636#*#*, select "Phone information" and change the "Preferred network type". You'll need to know the various network types (e.g. 3G - GSM, CDMA; 4G - LTE; 5G - NR). Then try dialling out from the phone, and calling the phone from another phone.

            No guarantee that secret-settings number will work on all phones. I remember reading some manufacturers use a different number. Also, write down what your current network-type setting is if you want to switch back to it. General disclaimer: Don't do any of this if you have no idea what you're doing, and don't blame me if things go sideways :)

      • swordfish6975 on 21/06/2024 - 20:21

        I had the same issue with ALDI Mobile with my Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite NE, had to shell out the $5 for a new SIM. I could use the webpage to do a SIM swap and it was quite instant actually. It kept my number & plan & data rollover all the same. I'm just happy the stupid message is not there anymore. So freaking annoying….

        Edit: I already disabled carrier detect a few weeks ago, usually this is done with a code entered in the dialer like you are making a call

        Note may be different for different phones

    • Jimbuscus on 21/06/2024 - 16:42

      G54 at $59 is immensely better value.

    • bamzero on 21/06/2024 - 16:58

      Still waiting for the G84 I ordered for the missus to arrive, but for $59 why not get a G54 too as a backup phone. Just need to remember to cancel the plan :)
      (For me, I'm going to need another one for the kids in the new year anyway)

      Tried my luck with cashback too, tracked but assume it will be rejected because to the code. (Cashrewards and Shopback both have the Motorola/SIM bundle listed for $6.50, Topcashback only has plans listed)

      • djoz on 21/06/2024 - 16:21

        Just want to know - if you did an early renew, does it queue up the plan, or immediately start the new plan, thus losing your existing plan's validity period?

        • ThePeterGriffin on 21/06/2024 - 16:23

          For me, it immediately started the new plan. I had 5 days left. not sure if you might get the pro rata credit back in future.

    Maybe there's a way to trigger/trick your amaysim service that you need to upgrade too by putting your sim in a 3G phone. I get an annoying preamble at the start of all my calls telling me about the 3G shut-down.

      Giving that a try😉

    • bamzero on 21/06/2024 - 16:51

      In the settings (for Android at least) you should have the option to use 3G (search settings for Preferred network type). Might do the trick.
