Faulty Replacement Handset

[CarlProfke86]

Afternoon,

I purchased a Basic $29 Telstra Rush (ZTE T792) phone from Coles Sunnybank Hills on 14/9/2015 and it has just failed and won't turn on.  I still have the box, all paperwork and my original proof of purchase.

Do I take the phone back to a telstra store or back to the store of purchase?

Being the unit is only worth $29 I cannot see why it would be repaired but want to make sure my first step is the correct step so I am not going back and forth.

Thanks Carl Profke

In all honesty, taking it back to the place of purchase (Coles) is your best bet.

The Telstra store can't provide a refund, or an exchange. The best they could do is send it away for assessment at the National Repair Centre - which as you rightly point out is a lot of messing about for a $29 phone.
