Cheapest 5G mobile phone for $30 with NFC, case, charger & headset (but locked to Telstra) in-store at Woolworths. Boost SIM card has been reported to work in this phone.
Stock levels vary between stores and is on clearance. I rang several Woolworths stores and some have the phones in stock. If your local doesn't have the phone, they can check the nearest stores for you. If staff need the product look-up (PLU) number, it is 210175. Price is confirmed to be $30 on clearance, reduced from $249. Phone comes with a Telstra SIM card that is probably expired.

Update: No stock in NSW

Great value as a spare phone or for a light user

    +1 for the write up and extra info on how to unlock phones. Thanks op

    $30 is very cheap for the spec with big battery and great display (no PWM or won't hurt your eyes). Only that smaller RAM (use Greenify or Hibernator app to free the RAM, not all apps need to run all day in the background). Use Gcam app for better photo quality.

    The $30 cost can be replaced with $20 Uber Eats referral code from other Ozb post + free burrito from Guzman Y Gomez and other freebies with new phone number and this new device ;-)

    Use the promo below with new sim cards and different emails:

      How do you get $20 Uber eats referral code?

      • neoleo on 17/08/2024 - 14:43

        Use the referral link :)

        • TomGum on 17/08/2024 - 14:44

          Does new user require new device? Or just new number is fine?

          • neoleo on 17/08/2024 - 14:46

            @TomGum: I read other comments, better use new device for Uber Eats (with this phone). Also good for free burrito from Guzman Y Gomez

    Wow, about to fly with kids. May get 2 of these as media viewers

    • nasalspray on 17/08/2024 - 16:19

      Mt Waverley woolies had the Telstra Orbic Tab 8 discounted to $30 - might be across all woolies - better travel device

    Great deal

    • bargaino on 17/08/2024 - 15:00

      Did you actually find any local?

  • gturner on 17/08/2024 - 14:55

    Any idea of stock availability?
    Just rung my local store and they didn't have it on their system

    • trixieb on 17/08/2024 - 14:58

      I'm in Perth. There is stock availability and showing in their system. I rang a few stores. Someone here in VIC just bought a few and other states have the phone too. Perhaps ring a different store.

      • ulun-lpg on 17/08/2024 - 16:14

        can you tell me which stores you rang and has availability? thanks

  • spedohero on 17/08/2024 - 14:57

    Where does it say $30?

  • Ricketytruck on 17/08/2024 - 15:13

    No stock at Chelsea VIC, Paterson lakes VIC - hopefully saves someone a call.

    With Optus locked phones, we can easily jump on to Chat Support and give a reason — like traveling overseas; and they provide the Unlock Code for free.

    Any idea if Telstra will do this too?

      0 deals posted in all this time on OzB. Look forward to you getting off 0 to show us what you consider a deal.

      People confirmed in comments they were able to find stock.

  • sammyq on 17/08/2024 - 15:40

    Managed to grab one from Niddrie Vic. I think they still had a few more in stock from what I saw. Can confirm price is $30.

  • HomeAlone on 17/08/2024 - 15:40

    I couldn't find any stock when they were on clearance for $99 earlier in the year.

    Has Woolies been known to restock clearance items? Should I even bother now?

    yay! USB charger and cable come with a free phone

  • SAU on 17/08/2024 - 15:54

    Would it work with woolworths onw mobile sim?

    • trixieb on 17/08/2024 - 15:56

      In previous posts, it seems only Boost works.

      • djoz on 17/08/2024 - 16:01

        So, in short — Telstra locked phones work only if the MVNO uses the Full Telstra network (Boost); but not if it uses Wholesale Telstra network (like Belong, Woolies, Aldi, etc)?

        • trixieb on 17/08/2024 - 16:02

          Appears so. Not sure about the newer JB Hi-Fi mobile which is meant to be the same as Boost.

  • spaceflight on 17/08/2024 - 15:59

    Much cheaper than a 5G mobile hotspot!

    Thanks OP! Got the last one from Woolworth Barrabool Hill not long ago.

  • TomGum on 17/08/2024 - 16:03

    Any left in Adelaide?

    • WwDesi on 17/08/2024 - 16:15

      Yes would like to know too

    NSW OOS everywhere don't brother checked online shows none and called. Maybe if jbhifi or somewhere had them couldn price match

    • trixieb on 17/08/2024 - 16:04

      Thanks. Will update post. People here have bought from WA and VIC.

    • UosdwisRDewoh on 17/08/2024 - 16:25

      FYI Woolies online always shows nothing for clearance phones, even if there is stock. You used to be able to find out on the app but they've changed that to show nothing too.

  • MAN on 17/08/2024 - 16:08

    Hi,

    Any Knows if this work with Boost Sim.

    Thanks in Advance.

    • trixieb on 17/08/2024 - 16:18

      Previous posts of this phone mentioned Boost SIM working in this phone and seems to be the only one other than Telstra.

  • trixieb on 17/08/2024 - 16:25

    Hey everyone, I've marked this offer as OUT OF STOCK as stock levels are probably depleted by now. If you have the time and really need this phone, please ring around as you could be lucky. Good luck!
