I'd buy that for a dollar! (plus a SIM plan)
Crazy price for a budget phone.
I believe this is locked to Optus. Black and Blue available.
Amaysims' product page don't have detailed specs so check Oppo's official site
Spec page
Optus branded phones also $1
Optus X - X Pro
Optus X - X Go
Optus X - Sight 2
Optus X - X Lite 4G
$10 credit to both the referrers on Unlimited Plans and referees. Referee needs to provide referrer with their email address.
Have you recharged your service to a minimum / accumulated amount of $80?
Yes: There is no fee to network unlock your handset
No: How long has your service been active?
Less than 6 months: There is an $80 fee
More than 6 months: There is a $25 fee
Note. If you use the 9999 SMS Menu service to unlock your device and have a saved payment method with us, this can be used during the payment process. Otherwise, we'll send you an Optus PayID to make the payment in your banking app. This code can be shared with others. PayID is the only method of payment via the device unlock website.
I did unlock one of my Optus branded devices via one of my amaysim services and I was only on PAYG and it was for no fee. I only had $10 credit on my service.
Thanks OP. Worked with an existing service. Got the phone for $1.
bot army
How did you get it for $1?
Is there a trick?
I thought you have to pay the $30 plan for the 1st month then cancel.
I don't need the $30 plan though. I have a pixel 2 XL which no longer supports 3G network as of yesterday and only want the phone. No plans.
You could have had a phone for $31 if you had acted on op's post. There are still other cheap options for $31 phones linked in the post.
Cheers Grabbed one
cancel the plan within 28 days?
Or if you want to keep the number, change it to their lowest price for the longest time plan.
I believe its the "pay as you go" plan. And I just top it up with $10 every 365 days.
Good for making use of other promotions which require new numbers and stuff.
Where is $10 for 365 days listed please? I couldn't see that on their site.
A53 out of stock
Change colour to black. Still available

s22 for 500 - sadly can't use 200 coupon now
of course you can code lasts until 30/ nov
how to get the 200 coupon?
Because of 3g shutdown
@superforever: I only got one month fee refunded which is $69 from Telstra. Should I ask for more? Who offers the $200 coupon to you guys?
Thank you mate.
ozbargin is poker, got to know when to hold them.
Can't use with my current plan. Are there any penalties for buying the phone on a new plan and then cancelling it?
No just turn off auto renew
Yeah isn't this an all time low? I just got this
Managed to snag one, thanks OP.
Going to keep the number and change the plan to the "pay as you go" one, then top it up once a year to keep the number active.
:)
So did you pay the initial $30 plan?
Yes it charged me for the first month.
However, please note that phones from the following brands are initially locked to the Optus network:
Oppo
Optus X

I'm going to pull my hair out of frustration waiting for apps to load on the snapdragon 460
Then i'm going to go blind looking at 720p low quality LCD display.
If i can get it for $1 to replace my non working pixel 2 xl then i would.
I got google to replace my Pixel 3 in September for free - battery was bulging. They didn't have any Pixel 3 in stock, so I had to take a Pixel 5 instead (refurb).
A53s blue OOS already..
managed to get a black one.. Thanks OP
Can the phone still be used on Amaysim network if it is Optus locked?
yes, both use the same optus network
Thanks mate!
OOS during checkout :/
Thanks OP, got one. Didn't need to recharge plan too lol, $1 CB from TCB will cover it
Out of stonk, just tried lol
Get the Optus X pro
I know it is cheap, but 3GB ram?
3GB ram for $1. Pretty good rate
oos ..
Worked with several of my existing services, tried for a second purchae and OOS, oh well got one for $1 atleast.
Same OOS at checkout
thanks knew my 25 spare amaysinm accounts come in handy lol
Hey look it's broden!
Boo, needed to upgrade a 3G phone that no longer works, hit the pay now, OOS.
get the X pro
Thanks OP. Just ordered a Black one. I wanted the blue but was Out of stock. Should be a good backup phone.
Released 2020. Wonder where they found these.
Whats the best Optus one?
So now I've bought it, how do I unlock it lol
Use the 9999 SMS method or Optus site https://www.optus.com.au/support/answer?id=1399 Amaysim confirmed it can be unlocked for no charge
have not received the confirmation email. anyone got it?
Got one. No confirmation email but "your phone is one the way" email straight away.
same here.
Bought the xpro for $1. I don't know why I did that, but I did.
Same I'm confused with myself
How xpro compare to G54?
G54 is esim, 5g and more rams
How to get G54 for $1 though? I want more rams.
Cheapest is $9 if you had the $200 amaysim device code, but oos now.
complete trash.
G54 or the xpro?
X pro
@Jaduqimon: Been using old smart phone as hassio as wall control panel. This would be a screen update.
thanks op , got pro ☺️
shopback gives you $3.25 for the x pro if it tracks
You deserve an OzB badge for even thinking about cashback on a $1 phone.
risky… stuffing around with CB with risk of OOS
not really - shopback browser extension - extra click of button to track (green icon)
A53s for $6.5 cashback.
Might be good for a dedicated retro emulation machine paired with a cheap telescopic controller.
Exactly what I was thinking.
It's exactly why I bought it.
Retro emulation and pokemmo + the yet to be released pokeforce.
I've been thinking about doing similar with a old phone. Any recommendations for a cheap telescopic controller?
DSP D8 usually around $15-18 USD during aliexpress sale… which is happening today at 5-6PM
Nice, thanks. Will check that one out.
wasnt this oppo A53 released in 2020? and Android 10?
Bought 6 xpro's as burners for uber accounts etc but should be profitable if cashback tracks.
Also optus has no stock of the xpro 4G so im expecting they will send the 5G variant
wow nice. If got the 5G variant.
Or they will just refund $1.
I hope not, if shopback tracked. hehe
Wouldn't amaysims stock be separate to optus stock though?
All my a35s i bought with $200 codes appeared to be coming from optus
Well, I hope that they are the 5g versions for everyone who bought one
@Originality: They came from DHL supply chain (6 Millner Ave Horsley Oark) which ships out Optus phones and googling the address, optus mentions this address
Anyone know about when/how this could be unlocked?
