Sometimes a deal is too good to be true. Other times, they are just bloody good deals – we reckon this deal is the latter. Telstra is offering the iPhone 5C for just $399.
This was their tweet:

That was followed by a very simple question from a mate of EFTM Ross Catanzariti:
@telstra Is this locked to Telstra, and if not, does it cost to get it unlocked?

And, drumroll – the answer:
@bosco08 Hi Ross, the 5C handsets are provided unlocked. Greg

UPDATE: It turns out “Greg” was 100% wrong. Reports have flowed in all day saying the phones ARE locked to the Telstra network. Now while Greg was wrong, it is still a pretty good deal all in all
Now that seems a good deal. But it gets better.
To buy an iPhone 5C from Apple will cost you $539. And that’s for the 8GB model. The Telstra offer is a 32GB model!
Now, it’s only available in two colours, and stocks will be low.
Telstra tell me the offer is available in-store, so check ahead if you’re keen, or buy online now and you MIGHT just get delivery by Christmas.
