This phone is not available retail in New Zealand. I bought it in September last year in Melbourne, though it hasn't been used all of that time. Probably 4 months usage.
I look after my handsets and this one is in excellent order with no scratches, screen damage, or any faults. It hasn't been up to my ear as I always use speakerphone. Mocha Brown colour is a nice change from a black handset. Have thought about keeping it but I've gone back to using another handset and it's just sitting idle. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and find the keypad excellent. Light and compact handset.
Phone Declan on 0224-773-772 for a quicker contact as I don't always get in for messages on here in a timely manner.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
