Telstra F153 Review

hyp4mhz

Welcome to the Telstra/ZTE F153 review. The F153 is essentially a F152 or 156 without various hardware features. This is truly a base model phone. It’s only available in Black.   It’s missing a Camera or Video, Bluetooth, No external memory and No voice recorder.   Apart from that it works exactly like the other models.

It is a basic mobile that only redeems its self on purchase price and that it’s locked to the Telstra network.  Since the network for 3G or NextG content is expensive its only recommended if you want a phone that can access Australian Idol content.  Otherwise there are cheaper and better alternatives.
