Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / May 2004CDMA Phone
Hi All, I'm looking to buy a pre-paid CDMA phone just to have as a spare in the car when I'm traveling out west. Any one got comments about these phones? Motorola C131 Nokia 2280 Kyocera K112 Regards Andrew Buy some of the "old stock" on the very old (ie: pre-communic8) "Telstra Prepaid Mobile" CDMA plan. eg: http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/en/product/E8079 The credits never expire on these old prepaid CDMA (and GSM) plans (undocumented feature) and therefore are perfect for a spare/emergency phone. For call rates etc refer: http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile/mobiles/prepaid/prepaid.htm > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.687 / Virus Database: 448 - Release Date: 16/05/2004 Bought a Nokia 2280 a few weeks ago and am happy with it. Works well and the coverage over the Newall highway BNE to MLB was great. Everytime we looked at the phone it was in service. The GSM phone we had (Telstra network) was in service in towns only. Topped up the phone when it was new with $60 and the credit now expires May 2005.

Works well and I don't s'pose it has IR or data connectivity? My 6385's karked it. Luckily all the entries in it are also in my Palm. When I got the 6385, I copied the address book over using IR. So, if I go for something like the 2280, this'd be a handy feature. I purchased one of these Hyundai 310E phones from DSE. Just been reduced down to $79. Come with $100 in call credits. Off peak calls to Telstra mobiles are 5.5c/min, happy with that! One issue, anyone know where the keyguard is on the 310E?? > Buy some of the "old stock" on the very old (ie: pre-communic8) "Telstra > Prepaid Mobile" CDMA plan. eg: [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > > Version: 6.0.687 / Virus Database: 448 - Release Date: 16/05/2004 Me, Can you confirm that is definately "Telstra PrePaid" and not Telstra prePaid Plus ala c8. I went to a store to have a look at one of the below phones, indicated by thegoons, being the E8079. The guy pulled out the communic8 Hyundai 310E's and said it corresponded to the below item. The DSE webpage doesnt indicate whether it is c8 or TPP, nor the call credit or call credit expiry, so its hard to tell. > I purchased one of these Hyundai 310E phones from DSE. > Just been reduced down to $79.
