Long time lurker first time poster, please be gentle. Title format copied from an earlier deal courtesy of Look Up.

I'd been looking for a cheap phone for an elderly friend, who needed a new backup device after the 3G shutdown and had a budget of only $100. Unfortunately she was late for the 3G phone trade-in offers and the recent dirt cheap Nokia deals.

After checking the used market as well as researching the dumb phones out there, I found this at HN (seems to be stock in most places) and easily price matched at JB. Price beat at OW was also a possibility, but there wasn't much stock available nearby (ACT).

For some product info (also copied Look Up's deal):

    As you said, get JB to Price Match.
    Sign up for Perks program for $10 off = $88!
    Discounted Gift Cards are another possibility.

      I realised I could have paid with an NIB gift card (3.5% off) as soon as I made the payment. Rookie mistake…

        We all make those mistakes.
        Very little $ lost.
        Just enjoy your find & first post & now first comment🎉

    Nice, a microSD slot - a feature not found in high end models.

      This is the only reason Sony gets their rediculous premiums out of me. 3.5mm jack and MicroSD on flagships.

  • utsc on 25/11/2024 - 12:45

    Is a charger and case included like the G54

    • pinopio on 25/11/2024 - 12:55

      Info on the JB site says:
      Inbox Accessories: moto g04, Guides, SIM tool, Protective cover

      Meanwhile, the motorola site says:
      Components: Protective cover, 10W charger (included only with carrier not with retail), USB Type-C cable, guides, SIM tool

      So probably no charger or cable in the unlocked ones going around. But at only 10W, chances are you already have something similar (or better) on hand.

      Only came with case when bought from big w a few weeks ago

  • mkowarkski on 25/11/2024 - 13:01

    Thank you; grabbed 10

  • Homr on 25/11/2024 - 13:13

    does this phone take Esim?

  • hotori on 25/11/2024 - 13:31

    This is so cheap, hmmm

    Is there a reason to own a second cheaper and budget phone alongside your usual phone?

    • ozbob on 25/11/2024 - 13:32

      Your visitors from overseas will thank you when they discover their phones don't work here due to the 3G shutdown :-)

    • Rain Cloud on 25/11/2024 - 13:35

      Bought this at $116 two months ago and took it overseas with me to put a local sim in and used as hotspot. Also use it for Disney+ sometimes when using my other phone

    • INFIDEL on 25/11/2024 - 13:36

      Having a second mobile is a good choice when travelling. Mobiles do go wrong or get lost. Saved me in remote Japanese village.

      Am using 2 mobiles now, with one as hotspot.

    • pinopio on 25/11/2024 - 13:37

      Being an elderly person living alone, my friend keeps a spare phone for emergencies in case her main one fails. Funnily enough, the Moto G04 might be the better device!

      • INFIDEL on 25/11/2024 - 13:43

        Gives them the opportunity to upgrade. Depends if they don't mind getting used to a different mobile environment.

        Gave out 2 free Nokia 110 from HN trade in Deal. Keyboard mobiles are what many older people are used to.
        Without a touch screen, hard to read tiny screen & needing to remember the Nokia system to access it - I couldn't get rid of it fast enough!!

    Best Expired Deal Ever - Hope it gets repeated in the future for Black Friday or Boxing Day

    • INFIDEL on 25/11/2024 - 13:37

      Bought Motto G54 in that Deal for $135🎉

    • pinopio on 25/11/2024 - 13:40

      The G54 is what I ended up getting for myself! I actually missed that awesome deal (old phone only decided to die a week after that), but managed to get a good enough price a while later: $200 at Good Guys with 20% cashback to bring it down to roughly $160. Very satisfied with the G54 so far.
