Had a look at these mobile phone retailers when I was in Melbourne last
week. Out of about ten I called, four said they could supply me phones for
about $150 or so. Most tried to sell me their digital deals (as you would

Do you happen to remember the local fellows name perchance? I might give
him a call and see what he has.
